A gave a talk at the New Orleans Investment Conference the other day. At 50 years and counting, it is the longest continually-running investment conference in the country, and possibly the world.

It is diminished from its heyday due to broader competition and online investment media, but it has a certain air to it. Ayn Rand, Ron Paul, Margaret Thatcher, Alan Greenspan, Milton Friedman, Gerald Ford, and Steve Forbes have spoken at it, among many others. It is mostly a boomer/gold/resource/conservative/libertarian conference, and gets the best from that crowd, but otherwise is not huge. The guy who has run it for decades took it over long ago from the original founder, and he wants to freshen it up and modernize it a bit and throw some hand grenades into his own conference, so he invited me to talk. He is a gold guy, a resource guy, an old-school conservative, and he likes bitcoin and wishes he bought it earlier. He's open-minded, objective, and growth-oriented.

My talk was "Broken Money, Broken World".

-The first theme was that there are 160+ siloed fiat currencies. I used Egypt as my main example, and held up a physical Egyptian pound and said this is basically a national casino chip; it has very low salability outside of Egypt, similar to how a casino chip has very low salability outside of the casino. The 105 million people who live there are trapped in a fiat matrix of 20% annual money supply growth, like a treadmill that they have to keep up with in terms of their wages, price increases, rent increases, and so forth to avoid being diluted, and most can't keep up with that treadmill. And there are dozens of countries like this. I held up a Norwegian krone and said even though this is from a wealthy country, it is still a casino chip because what can I possibly do with it in New Orleans? It's too small and unsalable. This is outdated tech.

-The second theme brought it back to the US. I spoke about how the past four decades had two main trends: rising public debt/GDP and falling interest rates (see included pics below). Developing market currencies suffer while those of us in the US feel that things are stable. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, people rightly freaked out about the debt and deficit. The famous NYC debt clock went up in 1989. Ross Perot ran the most successful independent presidential campaign in the early 1990s on the debt and deficit. That was when interest expense as a % of GDP was at its peak. But what they didn't or couldn't predict, was that the next 30 years would be disinflationary. China opened up to the world. The Soviet Union fell. Western capital was united with Eastern labor and resources. China became a manufacturing hub, which was disinflationary. Russia supplied cheap energy to the German industrial base, which was disinflationary. Interest rates fell structurally, allowing more debt accumulation, and for prices to increase far more slowly than money supply growth. But then we hit zero interest rates, and then we monetized fiscal spending. We're in a new world now; debts and deficits matter again. Those guys from the late 1980s and early 1990s were right but early, and now we are facing some of those consequences. Fiat currencies including the dollar have structural instability.

-The third theme was to bring up again that there are 160+ casino fiat currencies in the world... and that every one of their gates are fucking down. Pre-Bitcoin, the only way to get money in or out of a country was 1) physical ports of entry (typically limited to $10k USD or so worth of cash and gold) or 2) bank wire transfers (highly controlled by local governments). Countries could maintain their little currency bubbles. But Bitcoin and then stablecoins blew that open. You can bring a billion dollars worth of bitcoin through an airport by remembering 12 words, or writing them down and tucking them away in your baggage, or briefly putting them in an encrypted file in the cloud. Infinite value density. Same for stablecoins- tokenized dollars or whatever the market wants in terms of global fiat currency and assets. I can pay a graphic designer in Nigeria with a QR code over a video call or email or DM in bitcoin or stablecoins or whatever she wants. All of this bypasses their currency bubble and goes around their banking system, unless their country wants to be North Korea and cut itself off or get shut off externally from the internet. And I said the investment implications and macro implications of this are massive; it's a new world that, over the long arc of time, breaks all the fiat bubbles.

You could have stopped before "than". 😉


If that's the case, then the question becomes, "Is my new employer willing to admit that they don't know what they're doing?". A company that makes software, (especially critical software) and doesn't know they need QA, is clueless about the industry they've entered. Places like that need a new CEO before they need anything else.


I do, but if there's no demand, my seven years with a QA title (much less my analyst roles) doesn't mean anything.


How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself, so always think positively.


The popular vote for President is hollow. It's not in the US Constitution. It's purely for marketing purposes, and currently creates a great distraction every few years. I don't think the Electoral College voted on this day in history, but I could be wrong.

So, I've been job hunting and decided to check out some of the job boards that are specific to digital currencies. It wasn't surprising to see mostly offers for "full stack devs" or "senior devs", but the realization that just scared me is that I have not seen a single posting, on any of the these job boards, for any quality assurance positions.

So, there's a bunch of people making financial software with no dedicated QA staff?

I'll be live streaming today at 3PM CST doing a workshop on building CLN plugins, but first, some words of inspiration...

18 months ago I had never written a line code in my life, and now I have a full-time position building bitcoin + THE NOSTR software!  Programming is just like any other skill, with time and effort you can learn it.

 I'm excited to share what I've learned about developing CLN plugins because a plugin was what felt like my first real bitcoin project.

There's a lot that goes into it, but at the end of the day, you are just writing Python in a single file and adding custom functionality to your lightning node. I think that's pretty sweet!

Are you inspired? If not, just $boost this and move on. If you are, then join me in ~4 hours.

In part #1  I tried to cover everything you would need to have a working development environment, so this time we will dive right into CLN's plugin architecture and write your first plugin!

Here are all the links you might want:

It seems like a "Turn on forever, or never use it." feature. I'm thinking if I turn it on, none of my P/DM's will work (except with updated Amethyst users). However, the outcome of activation is not clear.


It's time for "church". Even if you're not into the topic, Tom Gresham is one of the best radio hosts alive. He's almost always a pleasure to listen to.

Using Amethyst, I just tried to zap someone and got the "User doesn't have a wallet set up" message." I chose for the "Send them a message" option. Then I get a window about gift-wrapped messages, and how I need to make sure the recipient's client can handle that feature. The two options given after that are "Never display this message again" and "Activate!". Which is an odd combination for multiple reasons, but that's a separate issue.

If I activate it, am I no longer able to send and receive with clients that don't gift-wrap their messages? What about Mastodon users, (since this non-zappable DJ is a Mastodon-user-appearing-in-Nostr)?

The introduction to this feature is very confusing.

If you look into your future right now, what do you see?


This always confused me as a child too. Here I am, being told in school about measurements, units, and how important they are, yet the adult world doesn't adhere to that.

Every shoe company has it's own way of measuring a "men's size 10.5", (which has to be different than a women's size 10.5, because ...? tradition?) and now it's even worse. This year I bought new boots and even the same brand didn't have consistent sizes. The more centralization fails, the more I start making it myself, or paying others that are willing to create with quality.


I haven't noticed a pattern yet. In the Nostriches group, we found that we all had different numbers for users in the group. Dropped messages have been confirmed with screenshots, and I've detected dropped messages about 3-5 times from noticing people posting to messages I have not seen.

It sucks, because I really liked the features that were promoted, and now I can't trust it as a communication tool. I definetly cannot recommend it to others. 😥


I'll hold down the fort until you're both ready to move there.


Centralize clothing sizes? What do you have against dressing room builders wanting to feed their children? 😜


And dropped messages.


I used to save everything. Now, I usually only keep boxes for as long as I think I'm going to return an item. If I need to store the item later, I can use a plastic bin.


I was discussing with my spouse yesterday how we live in a place too clean to make this project easy. The places where people would care about Bitcoin have no graffiti or stickers. If I put one up, it will get taken down immediately. The places where the stickers won't get taken down are places where only tweakers and junkies are. I have some ideas, but I thought this would be easy! I'm excited to see what we can accomplish next year.

I'm still baffled about vaccine manufacturers losing money (links below). Using poison was part of the plan. Did the CEOs not know? Is this intentional or a fumble?

Was the expectation to have nearly 100% of the world's population on semi-annual (more frequently) boosters, and not questioning the increased mortality rate?

Maybe we are seeing the erosion of centralized power. Individuals are taking personal health more seriously. As we decentralize and gain strength, the jaggernaughts of the past will dissolve.

Afterward, I can feel them buzzing with energy and ideas; see the wheels turning in their head. That gets me so stoked.

Give them money, make sure one has more than the rest. Have them auction for something they want and see who wins the bidding war.

Or, if you're talking about  purchasing power from the anti-capitalist concept of volume sales discounts, then instead of an auction, sell the desired item for the full quantity of the amount the "poor kids" are holding, and offer a discount to the kid holding more cash.


Your determination and tenacity is inspiring!


What if I wish them painful healing where they continually miss the lesson? 😀😕

I wonder if Nostr could have a "Post about life and not about Nostr or Bitcoin" day each week.

It would be better than the high noise, low signal zapathons.


Where was this taken? (roughly) I'm hunting for them this year.


Did you know that in 1895 Argentina had the highest GDP per capita in the world?

With the arrival of Peronism in 1945, the Constitution was changed from a liberal model to disregard the inviolability of private property, within the framework of a fascism inspired by the Italian model of Benito Mussolini.

The rest is history, everything that fascism touches, as well as socialism, withers.

Socialism, communism and fascism are different sides of the same coin, antagonistic to libertarianism, all these movements are economically socialist.


It's worse than that. People leave Nostr and never return due to Bitcoin posts.

It certainly doesn't help that some Bitcoiners are rude, but Nostr is being described as a social network for Bitcoiners, and people don't want that.


Examples of "good living" does out-weigh the negative aspect you listed. There will always be opposition to being a good example, but there are always spectators too.


The purpose of the Law is to protect the private property of individuals from plunder. The purpose of the State is to enforce the Law. The State is *supposed* to be the organization of collective defense against the unlawful plunder of individual private property.

Sadly, the Law has been perverted by the State. Today, the State is the greatest plunderer of all, aided by the corrupted Law, which legalizes the plunder of private property, and allows for the State to exert a monopoly on violence to enforce the perverted Law.

The most consequential way in which the State exerts its monopoly on violence is by enforcing its monopoly on money. The State gives itself and its Central Bank lackeys the sole right to control the creation of money. Thus, they control the *value* of the money. When the State controls the money and the Law, they become Legal Counterfeiters, able to destroy the value of your hard-earned money; they debase the currency by inflating its supply out of thin air. The State funds its own expansion and continued monopoly on violence while surreptitiously plundering your wealth through inflation.

They print the money you must use your time and energy to earn, and devalue the money you have already earned by printing more still. By separating the control of money from State, we remove the State’s monopoly on violence and return the Law to its proper state; the defense of our private property, rather than its legalized plunder.

Hey Jack! Reddit rugged their Moons token used by the /r/Cryptocurrency subreddit. Moons were essentially community points on Ethereum. They gained traction this past year and even got listed on Kraken. Lots of people started to buy them, trade them, horde them, etc. Reddit announced recently that they were sunsetting the program and all of the whales dumped their bags. Lots of people feel betrayed.

So, I figured that since these users appreciated creating content and getting paid for it, why not tell them about Nostr, highlight Zaps, and how we're building a value for value decentralized economy here.

I made a post on Reddit in their cryptocurrency subreddit. It's currently at 50K views and 400 comments. It's doing really well. I've been answering questions all afternoon and on-boarding people to Nostr. 🤙🏻💜🫂

The real issue is that every DM you send reduces the compute needed to crack your private key

For shared documents and collaboration, I've had good experiences with other people's instances of CryptPad. You can also host your own.

The above platforms have calendars, but I don't have experience there enough to say which ones are practical.

If you need drive space for random sharing, "Mega.nz" is good unless the file is large. In those cases the recipient needs to download their app. 🤦🏻♂

For video calls there are random Jitsi servers to use; or do this self-hosted too.

I remembered winning a robot building contest in 11th grade this way.

The goal was to program a fisher price robot to navigate a maze and pop all the balloons in the shortest amount of time.

The maze was a complex obstacle course requiring inputs from touch, camera, and gyroscopic sensors to tell the robot where it is on the course.

We spent two days coding up everything but a power surge in the final 4 hours corrupted all of our programming.

My teammate, a year younger than me was crying, my other teammate had given up.

I modified the bot so that it has needles sticking out from every angle above the walls and just put touch sensors all around then program the bot to run the motor at full speed at all times and if a touch sensor touches something, turn at a random angle and keep going.

Since all the other bots were moving slowly as to not muss the visual inputs, ours was crashing and spinning around like a psychopath, finishing first place.

if the story you're telling yourself about an experience makes you feel bad, then tell a different one. there is The Truth at the center of any experience but also infinite perspectives through which to view it. ask others whom you respect how they view it. then adjust the story you're telling yourself to reflect any newfound perspectives that resonate. getting stuck in a shitty, singular story is how dis-ease begins. you are the writer, director, and actor so act like it.

Most people would call the biggest plants here weeds, and spend great effort to remove them from their lawn. We give them fertilizer, and water them regularly, as they are great medicine.

Taraxacum officinale (Dandelions) has so many medicinal uses that settlers made sure to import them to the US in volume.

Plantago (Plantain) is an astringent, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine, as well as demulcent (it can provide a protective mucous), expectorant, and diuretic.

Proof that my Compost Cottage works is this volunteer potato plant, complete with potatoes, that was growing out of it.  I spent some time fixing my Compost Cottage that sits in a low part of the garden that collects water. Not great planning on my part. To remedy this, I took the compost out, laid a pallet in the bottom, covered it with cardboard and paper bags, then re-built the layers of compost. It will probably accelerate now.

Mullein is great for respiratory issues. Don't eat the seeds though!


A few weeks ago we harvested seeds from my Stachys byzantina (Lamb's Ear). The leaves are velvety soft, and stay that way permanently. I kept a leaf by my nightstand and was surprised when I picked it up months later and felt how soft and plyable it still was.

I've seen posts/videos about using Verbascum thapsus (Mullein) as nature's toilet paper. I'm sure these people do not speak from experience, as Verbascum thapsus will leave poky hairs in your backside.  Stachys byzantina leaves would be much better for that purpose.

First, backup all the files you want to keep.

Unless you have a separate computer as your main Windows environment, it is probably a good idea to make it a dual-boot system. This means you will have an option to choose Windows or Linux when your computer boots up.

There are a bajillion Linux distribututions to choose from. For a non-geek with no special needs from the OS, I recommend Linux Mint.

https://linuxmint.com/

There are installation instructions on that site that will guide you through the process.

Here is a summary of the steps:

1. Download an ISO file.  Linux Mint has three variations: Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce. I prefer MATE. If I'm installing to an underpowered machine, I use Xfce. If you have experience using a Torrent client, it will benefit you here as it will decrease the time it takes to download.

2. Verify the ISO file. This makes sure the downloaded file wasn't corrupted in transit, and that it is 100% entact and exact.

3. Download, install, and use Etcher to copy the ISO to a USB drive and make it bootable.

4. Find out what you have to do to get your computer to boot to the USB Drive before booting from its internal drive.  When your computer starts, you can hold down a key to open your BIOS menu. Be cautious about changes you make here. If you're not sure what a setting is for, don't change it before learning what it does. In some cases, you will have to remove protections, and someof those can only be changed when other features are off/on, etc. Sometimes the boot order is easy to find, and easy to change.  Set the boot order so the USB drive is before the internal drive, and save the changes. After Linux is installed, you can set this back to boot from your internal drive first.

5. Once you're able to boot to Linux from the USB drive, the rest is a piece of cake. I recommend running Linux from the USB drive before doing any installation. You may not have every feature working, but all the major stuff (keyboard, monitor, wifi, and mouse) should be working. If not, some troubleshooting may be required, but I've never experienced, or heard of, this happening. After this smoke test, click the icon to install, or reboot and choose the install option.

6. The installer will help you partition your drive. You can allocate as much or as little as you want to either side (Windows vs Linix). You'll select language, keyboard, timezone, username, and password. MEMORIZE OR WRITE IT DOWN! If you can't remember your password, you'll be screwed. That's security though.

7. After the initial install, there will be updates.  Once complete, play around! The settings for the UI, etc need an overhaul in terms of organization, but with some exploring, you should be able to change most aspects of the interface.


Sometimes, it's all about going within and figuring out our own flaws and wrongdoings.

And that's what will set you free!!!

Oh, that could easily be wrong since I haven't done a tally.  It's not like I trust headlines about wars either. I'm going off of the buzz that's happening today, which was obviously absent before. It's not like there wasn't violence in that region before today (from both sides). Yet we're going to focus on it at this moment in the biggest way possible. My post is about the control of information, not about either side.

Btw, there's no point in trying to debate me about the war, as I disagree with both sides. If you want to say the media portrays things fairly, then I'd like some data.

Most social media news IS mass media. Even many "fringe" news sites are just information outlets for intelligence agencies. Finding true independent sources is very rare. Most of the headlines have an agenda behind them, and the highest bidder often drives them.


You can’t make this up:
- USA sends $6B to Iran
- Iran supports Hamas
- Hamas attacks Israel
- USA supports Israel


If you're going to debate someone, bring ammo. Opposing someone when you have no data, viewpoint, or information to share is like going to a duel with an empty pistol.


The stress is on the "suddenly" part of it. And you haven't told my you believe it's "false", or what is false about it (especially since it is a question). It seems like you are making assumptions about some hidden meaning to the question, but I could easily be wrong about that.

We all have biases, and I don't mind correcting mine. However, you have provided nothing.  If that maintains, then you're just trolling and bluffing. If not, then show your cards.


Alright. Back up your opposing viewpoint with something. I love learning. Also, which falsehood?


Which is totally irrelevant to my point about mass media ignoring stuff, then focusing on it.


Of course! When Israel attacks Palestine mass media doesn't make it a big show. If they mention an attack, they move on. But now it's something they're focusing on. They want your attention there, whereas they didn't want you paying attention to the violence in that area before. This is the type of manipulation mass media typically engages in.


The mass media has been weirdly quiet about it until now.


Why is mass media suddenly loud about it?

Something that might help is to use felt pots. A few days after watering, you can feel when the soil dries out at the bottom. Unless the plant is dormant, it's time to give it a drink!

Has there been a democracy somewhere, other than some small groups in ancient Greece?


AR-15's are .223 Remington (which is also  basically 5.56 NATO)

12 guage shells would be what I would want.


Companies did it for a wider profit margin. Nothing about the market pressured them to manufacture outside the US. It's not like they were facing downturns.  If anything, US regulations drove them that direction, and the lower wages of other nations became too attractive.

Either way, that doesn't explain the change in attitude from *purchasers* though, which is what I was asking about.

People used to know that spending $5 more for an item that will last your lifetime (or longer) is better than spending $5 less for an item you'll have to replace over and over. That intelligence has disappeared for, "Lower price is always better" type of thinking.


There are good pickup lines? 🤣🤣🤣


Because the companies offered a cheaper price for their goods. What I don't understand is how Americans went from, "Only buy quality that lasts, not the crap from K-mart." To going striaght to Walmart for everything.

The words "bitcoin" and "nostr" reduce the value of posts like this. Or is that irony the intention?


Clicking on "More Settings" displays a slide-up that is labelled "Advanced Settings".

There is no way to slide the settings into view, but sliding it is how you remove it from view. If it's going to pop up from a link, it should have a close/X option. If it's a slider, it should be visible as a slider from the main interface.

Having the "Generate" button in the Advanced Settings is awkward since it is not a setting.


I can scroll the login screen sideways back and forth by a few pixels.


Why are people so focused on getting new Nostr users to follow *people*?  Why is that so important to others? I find it very odd.

Even the terminology sucks. I'd rather connect, monitor, join, observe, or receive. Either way, this strong desire baffles me.


New users should be directed to enter topics they enjoy. This subscribes them to follow those hastags, where they can find people to follow.


In my fiat job, I just launched a $1M lending campaign for Old Salt Co-Op—an amazing community-driven, community-owned food system infrastructure project in Montana. It has brought in $129k in the first 20 minutes. And I'm floored.

I would rather have a few features that work flawlessly than 100's of bells and whistle that don't make a sound.


There was a time when I had to be concerned about the price of every purchase. When looking at a menu, my eyes would search for the lowest prices first, before making other considerations.

As I advanced financially, I got to where I didn't look at menu prices at all. Other purchases I might still consider shopping by "price first" though.

If I advanced financially even more, I could get to where I don't look at prices of more expensive purchases: cars, land, etc.

As bans like this happen more, audiences will move. They won't all go to the same place, but they will start to migrate with creators toward platforms of least resistance.


I think it's a solution looking for a problem, or maybe a half-baked attempt at a desired paradigm. Maybe, "I want to get paid for forwarding stuff." I don't see a damand being addressed with it.

Sure, but the fact that they are including "most medicinal plants" in the same paragraph tells you either he's saying to avoid high concentrations, (like taking garlic extracts daily), which is sensible for any compound, or he doesn't believe you should have medicine, which is dumb.


I'm one of those people. It's enlightening to follow a bogus headline back to the original study that is usually about a completely separate topic. Now THAT'S enterainment!


Honey isn't natural?


I meant to reply to the OP, but somehow replied to your comment. But, yeah, I quit trusting MSM decades ago.


Get between an addict and their fix, and you'll find friction.


Sugar (without a balance of fiber) is poison. The substitutes for it are FAR worse.  Nearly all food in the US has sweetners added.  There's enough sugar added to the point that you could not consume enough fiber to balance it out.

Honey is healthy. Sugars you obtain from eating fruit are healthy. The rest is killing you.


If hydration is the issue, drink more water. There are too many health benefits from garlic to ignore. The author is an idiot.

I chose to be male in this lifetime for a reason, and that one was first on the list.


Whatever Amethyst gave me, since I can't seemto change it.


A neck warmer is just a short scarf with the ends connected. You can make one entirely with one type of stitch. I think my first scarf was all single stitches. Maybe it was all doubles. Either way, it was a super simple way to get started.

Now I can do waffle patterns and much more. Be sure to try holding the crochet hook both ways. When I hold the hook the way my mom does, I can't crochet. When I hold the hook "the other method", I can do it just fine. The only other thing that messed me up when I started was when I wouldn't have enough loose yarn off of the ball (or skein). Just that small added tension would make me not be able to crochet. Once I pulled out a new pile of yarn, I couldx get back in the rhythm.


I haven't knitted, but crochetting a scarf can be really simple no matter what yarn you have. Of course, if it's going to be for someone to wear, and not just a "practice project", you'll want to make sure all the yarn is a consistent size.

I've just received a grant of $25,000 USD (in Bitcoin) to work alongside the Human Rights Foundation educating political dissidents around how to use BTC. I'm very humbled and excited.

Rather than focus on me for this post though, I want to take you on a journey regarding one of the stories I've witnessed at the Oslo Freedom Forum that has had the most impact on me.

In Oslo 2022, I watched a woman take the stage and talk about her activist husband who had been abducted and imprisoned in Nicaragua, leaving their daughter fatherless, as they had no contact with him at all.

I also met a wonderful woman learning about Bitcoin wallets for the first time, as a way to fundraise and get money into countries where dissident bank accounts would be shut down.

A year later I returned to Oslo and learned two things.
1. The woman I spoke with/coached and the woman onstage were the same person. Her name is Berta Maradiaga.
2. Due to the efforts of the HRF her husband Felix had been freed and returned to them for the first time in 3 years. They even showed a video of his daughter's tearful first reunion.

I encourage you to watch all 3 videos here. It is a harrowing story and it emotionally broke me watching it play out in real time. I got to spend a bunch of time with Berta recently at Bitcoin Park in Nashville, and she continues to learn about BTC and how it can be used to further their cause. She is wonderful.

Grab your tissues.

After several attempts with "AIs", I was finally able to get one to generate an image. I did manage this once before, but the subsequent pics provided were white with green streaks arcing across it instead of anything recognizable, so I don't count that experience as valid.

Still though, why do AIs think bamboo grows in lakes? Trying to get an AI to make a pic of bamboo that's not standing in a large body of water seems impossible. Even though I got this one to give me images, they suck. I tried several times with various wordings, but they each have anomalous areas that depicts body parts in an odd way, face are messed up (when present), and unidentifiable objects in hand.

Am I missing something, or is it because I'm using fringe AI instead of Big Tech AI?

I know. I'm just playing with your post.

Sometimes we can get to a point where everything is questionable. How independent are my thoughts? How much of them are from my parental/societal/state programming? How much of my thoughts are being led by my environment? How much of my environment is natural vs contrived? What if an external hero is really controlled opposition?

If I can question the validity of original thoughts from myself, how can I validate the thoughts from someone else? A good agent doesn't realize they are being handled. They believe their actions and thoughts are original, when in fact, they were covertly programmed.

I doubt that was the case here, but I jokingly pretended that it was. Cheers to situational awareness!

I think that in the past "teens" didn't have a separate culture. Communities were tight (compared to the bare resemblances of community we have now), and younger humans were more focused on becoming a part of the community's culture.

I think what you may be describing is how interacting on the Internet has allowed some immature adults to use the lack of connection in communication (eye contact, body language, voice inflections, etc) to behave like children. I think this is a product of recent culture, which, I hope, changes direction.

I think she was "signaling", or trying to make cash transactions awkward/embarassing. It's an establishment made by transplants, not locals. It had the smell of California all over it.


Yeah, suburbs can be like a "dead middleground". It depends on the neighborhood though. Some suburbs have more community than cities, most don't seem to. I assume the areas that do have strong community are due to the work and enthusiasm of an individual in that neighborhood; even if they have made their mark and left.

There is a smidgen more nature in suburbs, but not enough for someone to learn about it as a whole, or the diversity of interwoven systems, and how they work together. That is, assuming there's no natural setting nearby.  Suburbanites are slightly less freaked out by nature, but still quite wary due to ignorance.

The more local you shop, the less this is an issue. But yeah, I've noticed more cashiers expeting a card recently. One directed me to the card machine, while I was holding my cash in my hand. I held it out to her and she replied, "Oh you're paying in cash."

The ironic thing is, that nearly every cannabis farm in my state is in this county, and the county next door. They aren't allowed to have bank accounts, so the payroll is always done with cash. And this bartender isn't used to seeing cash?


It's the type of racism Americans grow up with and never think to question.


Church is a place for religions. Religion is one of the most evil inventions humans have made. Their ultimate purpose is to give the person at the top power. My connection to God would suffer if I were to compromise myself that way.


Emojis are good for indicating sarcasm.

But honestly, cities do suck. I've visited cities all over the US and a good portion of Europe. Most cities in Europe are (or were) nicer than most US cities, but they all have areas festering with trash. There are always neglected homelessness. People don't regularly treat strangers with greetings or kindness. Cities breed separation instead of community, and detach people from nature. People that I've met that grew up in cities are clueless about how the basics of how nature works.

STATEMENT REGARDING MY TWITTER/X ACCOUNT

Today, my Twitter/X account was permanently banned and my appeal to have it overturned was denied.

There was no warning issued, no 2 week suspension, no option to delete the offending tweet. Just straight permanent deplatform.

My offending tweet?

"Bring back the guillotine."

I quote tweeted this sentence to the video presented here on 3rd September.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1698249077061009496

Someone reported the tweet and my account was irretrievably shut down on the basis of violating rules against violent speech.

The vaccines (and vaccine mandates) caused so much harm to people all over the world. Many lost their livelihoods, incomes, businesses, marriages, families, confidence and will to live. Some lost their good health and worse, some lost their lives. The coercion to get vaccinated was immense, and to be told "it was a choice" is a kick to the teeth. Today, many regret having taken the vaccine.

My crime? I dared open up the conversation on how best to hold decision makers accountable for their decisions.

Meanwhile, other Twitter handles are able to post these and keep their accounts. The inconsistencies and arbitrary nature of these suspensions is ashtonishing.

https://image.nostr.build/a1b456c03a938e3bbe2f89e6eccad0424088aae132844053fd519e80a853ba0c.jpg

Having said that, I fully accept the consequences of my actions.

On a brighter, more productive note, I'm proud to have educated thousands on my YouTube channel (Ministry of Nodes) on how to hold their own keys and run their own Bitcoin node such that these arbitrary decisions can't be made with people's money. I'm convinced it will get worse, and that we need Bitcoin more than ever.

Humanity has been given the priceless gift of creativity, but it’s vital you understand how it works.  Creativity is the essence of the human spirit, and flowers best when it is unconstrained.

If you try to control it for your own ends you must learn that you can get only what you ask for.  The unexpected will not arise.

The answer you'll most likely get is, "no". The business you work for is trying to keep up with inflation too. The costs have increased for everyone.


This is why moonshine was also known as "corn squeezin's"


This is so cool!

The antidote to fear is confidence (i.e. trust/faith). It is possible to love completely after being heartbroken, even after multiple subsequent heartbreaks. It does take facing your fears, and learning what part of yourself to trust, or have faith in. However, it is totally possible. We can grow out of patterns that no longer serve us, if we make steps toward that goal. It may not be easy, but it is within reach.


I stay alive by eating organic, non-hormone, non-antibiotic meat and organic veggies prepared (and sometimes grown) at home.

Nearly anything from a box, can, or bottle has poison. Sugar is added to nearly EVERYTHING. Most restaurants purchase all their ingredients from SysCo; which only sells boxes and cans of food.

I plan to increase personal food production every year.


I use Firefox for desktop and mobile. The only fork of Firefox I use is Tor Browser.


That gave me a link that doesn't provide a preview. After clicking the link, I get a blank page. That probably explains the lack of preview, but either way, that doesn't seem to work under Amethyst.

As in real estate? Who's name is going to be on the title? You won't be able to finance (just about anything) without an identity.


Oregonians will not be able to buy mushrooms at dispensaries. They will have to have their experience inside a clinic, (no tripping at home). The whole process revolves around therapy. People have been free of PTSD symptoms after 1-3 sessions, on average. Besides, what imbicile thinks that therapy for PTSD is going to increase the number of burnt out RV's in a city that has been mis-managed for decades?

It's like the morons that think opiate use is related to cannabis use. Which was proven false in 1997 by the Institute of Medicine; but the data was already obvious to anyone with eyeballs.

Blind people think Oregon didn't have an opiate/meth addicted homeless problem prior to 2017, when people quit being put in prison for growing plants. Even though some areas of Oregon are better now than they were three years ago, but this fact will be ignored in order to continue a smear campaign.

Portland destroyed Portland by not enforcing laws, then not supporting law enforcement. I'm not one of those "blue stripe" folks, but crippling law enforement had obvious, and very measurable, negative results. The real obvious statistic being the murder rate in Portland (but not the rest of the state). Bad governance ruined that city, not freedom.

Up until recently, you could append the note ID to nostr.com and make the note viewable as a browser page. Maybe there's another website that does the same?


Now I see it... after looking at every font, text, heading, menu, etc. Honestly, A is better since it's not relying on color to indicate debit vs credit. Color-blind people will appreciate the arrows.


Is there supposed to be a difference between them?


I think I'm down to just #1, #8, and #9. If I used a VPN, Tor, an some other tools, I could getdown to #1. I don't think my banking apps would work without Google though. If I stack enough, those won't be needed.

I run #Tor, and we all should, not because we have things to "hide"... but because giving all our data to huge companies and governments is a massive honeypot that they, or another entity could access to use against us or our own interests.

If Damus doesn't easily allow you to post multiple pics, this could be a workaround you could use.


Something I often do is start my post/note in a text editor. When I'm done proof-reading and editing, I'll paste it in a Nostr client. When I have multile pics, my text might look something like this:

I've been told that reading a translation of the Quran is not reading the Quran.

Anyway, I prefer to reference older materials, instead of newer ones, when studying religion and belief systems.

To be more spiritual, I avoid religions. Their ultimate purpose is to give the person at the top more power. Learning to listen from within is where the lessons of spirit and source are.


I was actually impressed with how Myers Briggs test results are.


Concept stolen from Bob Dylan's, "It Ain't Me Babe."


It all depends on your client and how you add pictures to your post. In Amethyst it's easy.

In Nostr pictures aren't really posted. A note showing a picture really only has the address (URL) to that picture. You can put as many addresses in a note as you want, even if you have to paste them in yourself.

Most of the pics I share on Nostr are ones I uploaded to imgbb.com. When I type up a note, I paste the addresses to my uploaded pics.


If you want people online to ID mushrooms from pictures, it's important to get pictures of where the gills meet the stipe (stem), what the bottom of the stipe looks like after you've picked the mushroom, and the surrounding area (just like the pic you posted).

Also take note of how they smell. Some are sweet, some are earthy, ... there's an impressive range available. Another attribute to note is if they burst into crumbles when thrown at your friend, or if they're stringy when torn in half. Spore color is also good to know. In some situations, it's the only identifying factor between look-alikes.

The biggest flaw conventional homes have is they are trying to heat an cool the least-dense substance available in a home: air. Even the Romans knew better.


I guess the system is good for source material.


And those patients are taxpayers, so it's not free, it's commie.

Yes, conventional "healcare" in the US has nothing to do with health, or care; and costs an insane amount. That was the point of my post.


38 minutes into Dance Fu, and the professionalism of storytelling, (although, done in the campiest of ways), is so many million miles above what I saw of "Dial of Destiny" that I am on the edge of my seat, starving to know what happens next.

Conventional "healthcare" has become so ridiculous that stand-up comedians are losing work.


Either increase the non-bitcoin content posted here, or get young people to see Bitcoin as cool.

Currently Nostr is a Bitcoin community, and that's not attractive to the mainstream. A vast majority of the content on Nostr is Bitcoin related, and the vast majority of the remainder is about Nostr. These two topics are uninteresting to most people.


You didn't specify units. 140 K is very cold.


My asters aren't looking near this nice. I think they're overdue for a new pot.


It's the tired plot of a retired cop, and supposedly there is an alien somewhere in the city, although it's rarely in this movie. What they do reveal about it is the same stuff we knew from Preditor 1.

I empathize with your plight. May you complete your quest with no less brain cells than what you started with!

Although this may not be the most practical way of killing flies, it sure does come in handy when other tools aren’t available.  It’s also a great demonstration in perception and physiology.  With science at your disposal, you can finally show this type of pest a lesson.

# To Kill A Mocking Fly

Although this may not be the most practical way of killing flies, it sure does come in handy when other tools aren’t available.  It’s also a great demonstration in perception and physiology.  With science at your disposal, you can finally show this type of pest a lesson.

# The World Through A Fly’s Eye

The first principle to understand is what goes on inside the fly’s brain when a threat is approaching.  If the right eye sees a threat coming directly from the right, a signal is sent to the brain to “fly to the left”.  As amazing as this next part may sound, the same is true for the left side sending a signal to “fly to the right”.

# The Exploit

The exploit in this hack involves sending threat signals to both eyes at the same time, and in equal proportion.  This will cause both signals of “fly to the left” and “fly to the right” to trigger simultaneously, causing the fly to go (nearly) straight up.

# Application

For your first attempts, it is best to attack flies that have landed on a level surface.  It is possible to pull this off successfully when they are on a vertical surface, or other angled surfaces, but save that for when you’re ready to level up.

With the fly on a level surface in front of you, align yourself so that you are either facing the fly head-on, or tail-first.  With your hands about shoulder-width apart, on either side of the fly, clap about 4”-6” above the fly.  I’ve noticed this height varies with temperature, as the flies slow down when it’s colder. (I just reached around my laptop monitor and killed another one, btw).

Once you have this down, you’ll finally have leveled the playing field.  You won’t be able to get them every time, but you can dwindle the population down enough to a tolerable measure.

If I were to buy gold, what would be the advantage to buying a Minnaar? It sounds like a blockchain receipt for gold, no?


It will depend on the client someone is using. For Amethyst users, it shows up below your name.

To me, this is true of iceburg lettuce. Other kinds (Romaine, Red Oak Leaf, etc) do have flavor though.


I think it was a dream, or, what I experienced before being born.

I was walking with someone, or on their shoulders. There was a walkway that made a "T" shape. As we turned down the "trunk" part of the T-shaped path, I noticed a cast iron pitcher. It was hanging from a frame, had a spout on either side, and was swaying back and forth evenly. Each time it reached the apex of one side, some water (or water with beans floating in it) would spill out of a spout. There was an authority figure that approached. Then it was over.


You're going to die, then adopt a new personality. Your current nsec is going to die. So is mine. I mean, this body we inhabit will just be gone. The world is going to go on while we return. Do your best in the meantime. It will be that much less work for you in your next incarnation. It's the divine work that God put you here for. Make your own decisions. That is the power of a divine being like yourself.

Can you ever go wrong with carbs and cheese?  Add garlic for a trifecta.


I "like and not zap" posts about Bitcoin and Nostr, if I like the post. I do the same for content that I like, but is not an original creation of the author.

For the rest of the posts with original content, or if it really just makes my day, I will give my minimum zap amount, if not more.

Is the post valuable or not? If so, then zap. That is the true meaning behind "value for value", since other icons/reactions are subjectively just an emotional payment.


If you like something, is it not worth zapping as well? "Likes" don't give any real value. Someone can buy real goods with Sats.


Yes, however, if a post is worth boosting, is it also not worth some sats? I would say, "definitely".


All too often I see a great post. Others see it as significant too. It has boosts/reposts, emoji reactions, several comments/replies ... AND NO FUCKING ZAPS!?!?!?

Value for value doesn't work if you don't leverage it.


I'm at a really strange stage. I have the choice to choose from many potentially great futures, and I have no idea what I want to do, or what I am here for. It's nice to know that I have some free time to alter the course of my life, but if I can't decide on a course, then this opportunity is somewhat wasted. The result is that I'm hopefull and frustrated at the same time.


Sometimes I wonder if we're not focused enough on developing meaningful (and free) social spaces in VR. At times it feels like there is a fabric of "permissioning" being lowered over what were nominally public spaces, for previous generations. I worry that one day we will wake in a world where if you don't have the right face, the right politics, the right cash — or more likely, card — there will be no place to go. Access denied.


Both sides will try to sell you a story. The truth resides somewhere in the middle. You can’t elevate with a heart full of hate.


I don't understand why creators working on onboarding are so focused on "people to follow".

New users would be better off following topics/hashtags they're interested in. After that, they will be able to find people with something in common.


If you do, pretend like you can tell the new owner what they can and can't do with it. 😜


It's usually found in the permiter of the store, not the isles.  Even then, you need to choose the right store.


It will show up "here", assuming "here" is another Nostr client.


I can't think of which one was first. Maybe Lemonade Stand on my Apple ][+.

Some of my first favs were Artillery, Rocky's Boots, Decathlon, Epoch.


If you're speaking of big-pharma specifically, then I agree. The conventional "health" system does not look for the problem, and only makes attempts to remove the discomfort of sympoms. Then apply more drugs to address the side effects of the previous drug, and repeat.

True health involves answering questions about one's lifestyle. In many cases, an unbalanced lifestyle comes from unresolved emotions. By tracing backwards to the ingredients we have added to our being, and to our emotions and perspectives, we can discover the source of the issue, make corrections, and become balanced again.


Irony of the day, someone with a Telegram username ending in "btc" is selling a Nostr related domain name for fiat.


Anarchists could see nostr.com selling for $5M? 😜

I just realized that as Nostr grows, dumb racists will not be drawn to this platform. Spending all day muting people isn't how they want to spend their time.


I slept in, then coffee was served to me by a beautiful woman.


I've seen a couple of smear campaigns against DDG, and a quick investigation has debunked them all. I can't say with certanty that they don't sell info, but they're also not using my microphone, camera, keyboard input, location data, etc, constantly like Google (potentially) is.

So, even if they do sell my search data, that is all they are holding. If I want to get more secure about that, I just need to use DDG in a private tab, or use Tor Browser.
