Here are some advantages regarding spending time alone. :) Filmed and edited 2026-01-22. For 2026-01-23, Freestyle Friday #3. blog.hyperling.com/benefits-of-solitude

Today I review the Bluetti Elite 200 V2, a power station I have been using in my van since late 2024. It has been a wonderful unit which normally gets use daily. It is very compact and convenient for being in a small space. The feature set feels well thought out and covers all my needs with ease. It runs a 1000 watt Instant Pot without even spinning up its fans while also charging laptops and other devices. The inverter is overkill for my needs, it’s the capacity and form factor that I was mostly after. ...

Well bodied chow which can be served on its own or with bread and tortillas. Can be topped with coconut yogurt or yellow mustard if looking for sour or tang. Ingredients Serves 2 hungry adults, 4 normal people. 2 cups green lentils (dry, uncooked) 1/2 to full head celery, chopped 1/2 to full block firm tofu, chopped thumb or more fresh ginger, chopped 1/2 tsp whole cloves Optional Anything you’d add to a vegetable stir fry! ...

Multiplatform Media Viewer Want an app that can watch media from all platforms, rather than visiting the specific apps or websites of each? Grayjay is the answer! Created by a group associated with Louis Rossman, it allows you not only to view but to subscribe to channels across many video and audio platforms. It also allows downloading videos, something that most of the direct platforms do not allow out of the box. This is super helpful when wanting to do research offline, such as during a camping trip with no reception. ...

EFT & Journaling These are the two most powerful tools I have found on my healing and spiritual journey. They are both simple yet effective. There’s not much glamorous about them either. You can light candles, set out crystals, burn incense or sage, do chants, and many other hippie / woo-woo type ceremonies if you’d like, but these techniques alone get to the core of what needs done. I have used them for narcissistic abuse, such as gaslighting, as well as undoing bad habits from public schooling. I also had to learn that sometimes it’s okay to cry – life can be pretty messed up, and you’ve got to let it out, even if well after the fact! ...

I’ve been considering making regular videos to catch up with my backlog of ideas. There have just been a few things I needed to decide first though before pulling the trigger. I’ll likely try the idea on for at least a month, making videos less than 4 minutes in length and scheduling them in advance so it’s easier to manage. Expect to see reviews and other gear related videos on Tech Tuesdays, then anything else on Freestyle Fridays. ^_^ ...

Here’s an easy way to know if your panel is facing the sun properly! If the shadow has straight edges from the ends and is the longest you can make it then it is likely as perpendicular as possible.

Life is a wonder, it has many lessons to teach. Sometimes it takes a blunder, in order to make the reach. Learning from your mistakes is not always the most comfortable; guilt, shame, worry, and other fear-based emotions may get in the way; it’s important though to remain stable. If you base your life in Love, for both yourself and others, you’ll soon find your pathways open, and be able to have your druthers. ...

The world, with all its technological marvels and mechanical fascinations, has moved further and further from Truth. None of our creations last, they all fail and crumble. There is only one true Creation which holds True. The closer we are to It, the more Peace, Love, and Inner Beauty that we can experience. Nature provides abundance for all. It is a complexly simplistic system. One does not find monocrops, deficits, or slavery in Natural environments. Its forces work harmoniously, synergistically, to enhance the lives of all its beings, to benefit all living and nonliving entities. ...

Ingredients Ingredient Amount Water 4 cups Oregano 1/2 tsp X Thyme 1/2 tsp X Basil 1/2 tsp X Rosemary 1/2 tsp X Peppermint 1/2 tsp X Spearmint 1/2 tsp X Fresh Ginger 1/2 tsp Whole Clove 1/4 tsp If the X’d ingredients are pre-mixed, it would just be 1 tbsp. Directions Chop fresh ginger into bits. Smaller makes a better tea, bigger makes them more fun to snack on later. Crushing or juicing it may be a neat way to make the tea extra spicy. Add all ingredients to a pot. Want it stronger? Use less water, such as only 3 cups. Bring to a brief boil then let sit on low until ready to consume. I use the Steam function on my pressure cooker (3 minutes with Low Pressure). It then uses Keep Warm while I go on a walk for about 20 minutes to 2 hours. Serve! For maximum benefit, consume the herbs as well. I use a spoon at the end. :) Otherwise, if composting the plant matter, filter with a sieve or nut milk bag. Notes I find that it ends up tasting a lot like Tulsi, or Holy Basil. ...

Hot Well Dunes is one of the few (if not the only) hot springs in southeastern Arizona which are public rather than invite-only. I finally made my first visit in December 2025! Summary Easy to access public land with hot springs only 25 miles from Safford AZ. The pools are only usable when the sun is out and cost $3 per day or $30 per year. I would recommend it for locals and nomads alike! ...

Purpose I’m routinely asked if I’m okay, how things are going, what’s been going on, etc. 🧐 I appreciate the concern which I assume these messages are coming from, but am not interested in having fear cast my way. 🙃 So, this article is to help others self-serve whether I’m still alive and breathing. 😄 Where to find “Signs of Life” Here are a few ways to confirm that I’ve been online recently. ...

Walking and breathwork are both very beneficial, so how about doing both together as a form of meditation? Filmed, edited, and posted 2025-12-09. blog.hyperling.com/walking-breathwork-meditation

Introduction I was recently contacted for advice on for buying a laptop with Linux already installed. Below is my response as well as some extra thoughts on the subject. Laptop Advice Howdy!! Thanks for reaching out about this! From my experience the preinstalled Linux sphere is usually expensive gaming, developer, or other specialty type systems for enthusiasts. (NovaCustom, System76, Purism) The Pinebook Pro is the only budget device for daily driving that I can think of, and you may be able to buy an SD card with an OS preinstalled. It has an ARM processor rather than a normal desktop type processor, but depending on what you’re doing it may not matter, like for web browsing. ...

Here’s something which can be a main, side, dip, sauce, or whatever! Ingredients 7oz bag instant refried pinto beans Natural Grocer’s 750ml or 4 cups of water Seasonings 0.5 tsp oregano 0.5 tsp thyme 7 cracks black pepper Double these for a bolder flavor. Directions Bring water to rolling boil. Add pinto beans and seasonings. Stir continuously until beans come to a boil. Turn off heat and continue to stir until beans are no longer bubbling. Allow to cool until desired texture / temperature is reached, 15-20 minutes. Stirring occasionally helps speed this up. Use a lid once the texture is where you’d like it. Beans may be used as soon as they’re the desired texture. If eating as a dip, also ensure the temperature is safe. Best used thinner for sauces and thicker for dips. If going on a pizza, keep in mind that the oven will help thicken the beans up even more. If used for pasta then ensure it’s about the same consistency as it should be served at. ...

Audio playback is not available on your browser. They give you a whale, a big fairy tale. You don’t take it to heart, but that’s not the bad part… The common folk, they believe it until they choke. They act it out as if they don’t know how to doubt Convincing them otherwise – good luck with that. They’re not open minded enough to change and may come at you with a bat! ...

There are ups and downs every here and there, and it’s all determined by Mind if we choose to care. If ever there were a thing to do: let your expectations go; don’t take things personally; and learn to be best friends – with You. – Chad Michael "Bug" Greenwood ...
