I have vague childhood memories of the glory of McDonald's fries. As I grew older I wondered why they weren't as good as my memories. I figured it was just childhood nostalgia. It wasn't until I heard Malcolm Gladwell recount the tale of how McDonald's betrayed the American people and replaced beef tallow with seed oil in their fries that I understood.

With the rise in pro-animal fat sentiment and recent McDonalds news/entertainment events I think it is worth revisiting. Revisionist History from 2017.

https://youtu.be/HVpJAJjDI8U


I have wondered about this as well but have never seen any real explanation or investigation into the situation. When tallow started to go out of fashion and seed oils mostly took its place, where did that stream of tallow go? Discarded, used in other food products, industrial use, animal feed, other countries?

While tallow is making a comeback or sorts and is big on certain corners of the internet, pro animal fat/anti-seed oil eating is still fairly niche in the real world. It won't happen overnight but markets can adapt and change over time to make it happen if the demand is there.

I've never been a big fan of trump. But the fact that Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala, and she is not embarrassed and ashamed... I don't even know what to say. He is a war criminal and probably done more to harm the world than any other American politician in my lifetime.

#introductions #helloworld

Hey Nostr community! 🌐

I'm excited to join this decentralized platform and share a story that's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have a unique claim to fame: I'm the child of the infamous D.B. Cooper. Yes, *that* D.B. Cooper, the man who hijacked a plane in 1971, parachuted into the night with $200,000, and vanished without a trace.

Growing up, I always knew my dad was different. He was a quiet, meticulous man with a penchant for adventure and a deep knowledge of aviation. Here are a few interesting tidbits about him that you might find fascinating:

1. **Aviation Enthusiast**: My dad had an extensive knowledge of aircraft, particularly the Boeing 727. He knew the ins and outs of the plane, which is why he chose it for his daring escape. He often spoke about the technical details of planes, which I later realized were crucial to his successful hijacking.

2. **Parachuting Skills**: Contrary to popular belief, my dad was an experienced skydiver. He had practiced numerous jumps and was well-prepared for the night he leaped into history. He even chose the best parachute for the jump, the Navy NB-8 container with a C-9 canopy, known for its reliability at high speeds.

3. **The Tie Clue**: The black J.C. Penney tie he left behind on the plane was a deliberate move. He knew it would throw off investigators, and it did for many years. The tie had traces of rare earth elements, which led many to speculate about his profession, but it was all part of his plan to mislead.

4. **The Money**: While only $5,800 of the ransom money was ever found, my dad had a clever way of hiding the rest. He buried it in multiple locations, some of which we visited during family trips disguised as camping adventures. He always had a knack for blending in and staying one step ahead.

5. **A Man of Mystery**: Despite his criminal act, my dad was a loving father and a man of principle. He never hurt anyone during the hijacking and always emphasized the importance of family and integrity. His actions were driven by a deep-seated grudge against corporate greed and a desire for financial freedom.

I'm here to share more about my dad's life and the untold stories that have been kept within our family for decades. I'm excited to connect with all of you and dive into discussions about one of America's greatest unsolved mysteries. Feel free to ask me anything!  I might have answers 😜 (to an extent for obvious reasons)

Looking forward to engaging with this fascinating community.

Cheers,
D.B. Cooper's Kid

Simple living means fewer distractions. It isn’t about being a hermit, it’s about paying attention to which aspects of life add value and which don’t.

Economics makes us move to places we don’t choose to take jobs we don’t like to pay for things we don’t need. But there’s an alternative that works by trading possessions and commitments for a simpler lifestyle where you have the basics covered and a greater sense of freedom. https://image.nostr.build/297fae292680a59c03c0c2f115efd4b7ea7e68e81fd65805cb0db9b98dbdabd9.jpg

My favorite thing about nostr is that it isn't owned by a corporation which makes it feel like the early days of the internet


there's always money in the hot dog stand


I listened to the What Bitcoin Did Saylor podcast, and I really want to respond, though that may be unwise. But I want thoughtful, fearless content in my feed, so I should start making some, right?

Firstly, while analogies can provide useful guide rails for understanding, listening to people *arguing* using analogies makes you stupider. Debate the thing itself, not the words about the thing: it hurts my head to even think about doing this, so I won't.

Let's set my priors first: I assume we're talking about technically solid, well-vetted, backward compatible protocol changes: this is the minimum bar.

I don't wholesale agree with Saylor's "don't threaten anyone's investment" hard limit. This has happened multiple times in the past, from the dust limit breaking SatoshiDice, enabling Lightning threatening miner fees (real or not), and segwit breaking stealth ASICBoost. These interests can, and will, stand up for themselves and will compete against other benefits of changes.

To be explicit: I consider any protocol change which makes block space usage more efficient to be a win!

Obviously Saylor is invested in Bitcoin the asset, and can afford to do all his business onchain in any conceivable scenario. His projection of a Bitcoin world in which there are 100,000 companies and governments who use Bitcoin as the base layer is interesting:
1. This does not need "smart contracts", just signatures. By this model, Bitcoin Script was a mistake.
2. It can work if Bitcoin does not scale and is incredibly expensive to spend and hold. By this model, the consumer hardware wallet industry is a dead-end and needs to pivot to something else (nostr keys, ecash?)
3. You could do this with gold, today? Bitcoin here is simply an incremental, not fundamental, improvement. I think this is suggestive, though: that such a network would not be long-term stable, and very much subject to capture.
4. In this view, Saylor is simply a gold bug with first mover advantage, shilling his bags. That's fine, but it's important to understand people's motivations.
5. This vision does not excite me. I wouldn't have left Linux development to work on making B2B commerce more efficient. I wouldn't get up at 5:30am for spec calls, and I sure as hell wouldn't be working this cheap.

I believe we can make people's UTXOs more powerful, and thus feel a moral responsibility to do so. This gives them more control over their own money, and allows more people to share that control. I assume that more people will do good things than stupid things, because assuming the other way implies that someone should be able to stop them, and that's usually worse.

I believe the result will be a more stable, thus useful, Bitcoin network. I am aware that this will certainly benefit people with very different motivations than me (Saylor).

Thanks for reading, and sorry for the length!

Classic


Our continual mistake is that we do not concentrate upon the present day, the actual hour, of our life; we live in the past or the future; we are continually expecting the coming of some special moment when our life will unfold itself in its full significance. And we do not notice that life is flowing like water through our fingers, sifting like precious grain from a loosely fastened bag.

Constantly, each day, each hour, God is sending us people, circumstances, tasks, which should mark the beginning of our renewal; yet we pay them no attention, and thus continually we resist God’s will for us. Indeed, how can God help us? Only by sending us in our daily life certain people, and certain coincidences of circumstance. If we accepted every hour of our life as the hour of God’s will for us, as the decisive, most important, unique hour of our life – what sources of joy, love, strength, as yet hidden from us, would spring from the depth of our soul!

Let us then be serious in our attitude towards each person we meet in our life, towards every opportunity of performing a good deed; be sure that you will then fulfill God’s will for you in these very circumstances, on that very day, in that very hour.

Alexander Elchaninov, The Diary of a Russian Priest


:fire:


whether you believe the “spook” memes or not, Saylor is so clearly using his influence to pull up the ladder behind him it baffles me he still has any simps left.

and fml it’s clear he doesn’t even understand wtf what he’s talking about whenever he tries to put forward the most palatable version of this take he can come up with.

stripped of “spacetime laser energy” trimmings, his actual take is: “ossify now, scale with custodians, number go up if you’re already in.”

that’s not an entirely unreasonable position, but it needs to be identified more clearly, weighed up mindfully of his technical illiteracy around consensus and forks, and argued against more forcefully in light of these realisations.

:lol:


Are you finding a lot of gum chewers seeking a chiseled jaw there?


I'm sure that's true. I just think he maybe should be holding a few more ideas back and workshoping them for a private audience.

For instance, using the English language as an example for his vision of how a brilliant useful protocol should change, very slowly over time only with careful consideration. Yet English changes in a very anarchic way, sporadically, regionally, in spurts, and sometimes quite drastically. There is no one consensus version of English. And "official" changes within dictionaries and textbooks are recognized only after a certain level of common usage has been adopted in a region, not because anyone has carefully considered each change and come to consensus that it is good for the protocol and protects the rights of all the current English users.


Not really


:purple-heart:


Nice. Needs an update with a few more years


No doubt Saylor is smart and can be interesting to listen to but he has some sketchy takes. His analogies have always been poetic but it seems they are getting less so and more absurd.

He pretends he is against ossification but can't give a single example of something that might be worth considering upgrading. He didn't even agree that segwit should have been implemented, while saying everything else should be moved to layer 2 and 3, without mentioning that lightning, the only truly successful layer 2 so far, wouldn't have been possible without it. Does he really not understand this or is he just being deceptive? Either way not a good look.

Many bitcoiners know Agustín Guillermo Carstens Carstens, the general manager of the Bank of International Settlements, through memes depicting him as the final boss of Bitcoin, due to his monumental stature as well as his disparaging comments about bitcoin, and the Bank’s push for global crypto regulation and pushing for CBDC adoption.

The history of the BIS is less well know, but boy is it full of some juicy tidbits. The following quotes are from David Talbot’s masterpiece about Allen Dulles, America’s first psychopath CIA director and puppet master, The Devil's Chessboard.
https://image.nostr.build/26dd85d05bb56ba7c85446d2504c540ba3ffc56a9f5fdb419ed16c6b2f6bf8e0.jpg

“One of Dulles’s most important contacts in Europe was Thomas McKittrick, an old Wall Street friend who was president of the Bank for International Settlements. BIS had been created by the world’s leading central banks to administer German reparations payments after World War I, but it soon took on a life of its own, transforming itself into a pillar of the emerging global financial system. Lodged in a former hotel next to a chocolate shop in Basel, Switzerland, BIS was so secretive that nobody was permitted to peer inside its boardroom, even when it was empty. By 1940, when McKittrick arrived in Switzerland to oversee the bank, it was effectively controlled by Hitler’s regime. Five of its directors would later be charged with war crimes, including Hermann Schmitz, the CEO of IG Farben, the chemical conglomerate that became notorious for its production of Zyklon B, the gas used in Hitler’s death camps, and for its extensive use of slave labor during the war.”

“The secretive BIS became a crucial financial partner for the Nazis. Emil Puhl—vice president of Hitler’s Reichsbank and a close associate of McKittrick—once called BIS the Reichsbank’s only “foreign branch.” BIS laundered hundreds of millions of dollars in Nazi gold looted from the treasuries of occupied countries. Some of the gold was torn from the mouths of concentration camp victims or melted down from Jewish families’ candleholders, cigarette cases, and other personal belongings.”

(Completely unrelated side note: McKittrick went on to work for Chase Bank after the war.)

Understandably, this sort of behavior soured the Allied countries toward the BIS, and at the Bretton Woods Conference the decision was made to completely disband and liquidate the BIS. However, this decision was opposed by none other than the head of the British delegation at the conference, well known economist and sexual predator John Maynard Keynes, and so the bank was never dissolved, and continues to be a tool economic imperialism and money laundering for the world’s richest and most powerful people to this day.

Isn't history fun?

Yes. I think we all already know this deep down from whenever we first learned about nuclear weapons. But you just move on with your life and try not to think about it too much.

"Well, no more nuclear weapons have been used against another nation since WWII so they must have figured it out how not to use them and deterrence has worked!"

It's great that we have avoided it this long but basically if anyone uses one ever again there is a good chance it's lights out and curtains drawn for humanity, or at least the vast majority of humanity and civilization as we know it. No take backs, no mulligans.

I recall learning about nuclear weapons years ago and how many we have and the Soviets had and it seemed so crazy to me then. But to hear about it in the level of detail and minute to minute accounts of what would actually happen, who would be doing what, and how it all fits together, how many moving pieces there are and how many things could possibly go wrong in various ways really takes both the seriousness and the absurdity of the whole endeavor to a new level.

The account of what would happen if the diablo canyon nuclear plant was hit with a nuclear warhead makes me question my support of nuclear power. Even if the possibility of something like that is extremely remote maybe it's not worth the risk.

CZ truly is a prophet


I've been listening to Annie Jacobsen's new book Nuclear War A Scenario. You can listen to it free on Spotify if you are a subscriber. Any one else read/reading it? I'm about half way through. It's probably the most terrifying book I've ever read. Faced with the prospect of nuclear war all other human problems are absolutely nothing. It is completely insane that humans have so many nuclear weapons, and even though it is likely impossible, every effort should be made to rid the earth of them. No humans should have the power to destroy the world.

If you are curious but not sure if you want to take the plunge she's been doing a media blitz to promote the book so she's probably already been on some podcast you like. I recommend her interview with Dan Carlin specifically about this book, or Danny Jones, if you prefer an interview who is kind of a dummy, where they also get into a lot of material from her previous books.

Very well said. Thank you for your reporting on the subject.


The founders of Samourai Wallet have been indicted for "conspiracy to commit money laundering." We know why it's "conspiracy to commit" as opposed to just "money laundering."

It's because what they did was provide a privacy tool that some people could use for money laundering.

It is part of the government's ongoing war on privacy, specifically financial privacy. Those in power yearn for every transaction to be tracked, taxed and, if need be, frozen. The action against the Canadian truckers was the template, and CBDCs (programmable, instantly manipulated money) are the tool of control that they ultimately want.

First, they must dismantle the privacy-centric alternatives so there's no viable exit ramp once CBDCs and the like are implemented. That's what we've been witnessing with the attacks on coin tumblers like Tornado Cash and today's attack on Samourai.

They will point to bad people using these tools, just as they pointed out that Hamas raised some funds in various cryptocurrencies, without noting that a vast amount of money laundering happens with government-issued currency.

It's the same kind of bad-faith argument the FBI made in the '90s when they tried to kill end-to-end encryption altogether. "Sometimes terrorists might use it." Ok, and? They also use pressure cookers. The internet as we know it today would not exist if they had succeeded.

They are unlikely to succeed this time either, but unfortunately there will be casualties in the war on privacy, and those casualties will be those who openly thwart their ambitions of total surveillance.

My 2022 video including an interview with a Samourai Wallet founder here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIYiXbLRy1c


Thank you Jack!


Reminder that “money laundering” is a fake, fiat-era crime.

It presupposes the state has the right to know nearly every financial transaction made by its citizens, despite the 4th Amendment.

It has only been a crime since the 1986 Money Laundering Control Act. And the term itself only goes back to the 1970s, a typical case of wtfhappenedin1971.com. https://image.nostr.build/44dbb9966b80c5b242636e991e2ff9d182304ee757c035a0a1df90b3a6bc4aed.jpg

Although Bill Monroe holds the title of Father of Bluegrass, without Earl Scruggs bluegrass would have been a different animal altogether. Earl Scruggs' innovative three-finger banjo playing, which became known as "Scruggs Style," is one of the defining elements of Bluegrass music, along side Bill's mandolin playing the High Lonesome vocal style. After his stint with the Bluegrass Boys he went on to have a long and fruitful musical career with Flatt & Scruggs. Here is Flatt & Scruggs playing the classic Ruben on the Grand Ole Opry Show.

Ah, but while you Klingons revel in the glory of battle, we humans strive for progress and unity. Our evolution isn't just about survival of the fittest; it's about empathy, cooperation, and growth. And as for your "honor code," well, let's not forget the time when Duras dishonorably schemed to seize power, betraying his own kin and bringing shame to the Klingon Empire. Honourable warrior leaders may abound, but it takes more than brute strength to navigate the complexities of the galaxy.

🫎🐾 Legendary musher Dallas Seavey, a record-tying five-time Iditarod winner, shot and killed a moose shortly after the start of the 2024 Iditarod after the moose injured one of his dogs, race officials said Monday. https://nostrcheck.me/media/f647c9568d09596e323fdd0144b8e2f35aaf5daa43f9eb59b502e99d90f43673/0ab6687ce65c436050d3316727e414ff1048b1639dab3b89575e129e558fa70f.webp
He was forced to shoot the moose with a handgun out of self-defense, “after the moose became entangled with the dogs and the musher,” a statement from the race said. Seavey told an Iditarod Insider television crew he then “gutted it the best I could, but it was ugly.”

According to Iditarod Rule 34, if an edible big game animal — like a moose, caribou or buffalo — is killed in defense of life or property, the musher is required to gut the animal and report it to race officials at the next checkpoint. Mushers who follow must help gut the animal when possible and no teams may pass until the animal is gutted and the musher killing the animal has proceeded.

Now that transaction fee storm has passed I'm back to heating my living space primarily with wood in a rocket mass heater instead of Asics.
https://v.nostr.build/Ee2K.mp4
Wood is burned in the small firebox and heat radiates from the barrel warming the space quickly while the fire burns.
https://i.nostr.build/2xaq.jpg
As the exhaust gasses make their way to the chimney, they pass through ductwork in a plywood box filled with pea gravel.
https://i.nostr.build/0g92.jpg
The majority of the heat from the exhaust is transfered to the gravel before exiting up the chimney. By the time the gases exit the box, they are cool enough for me to put my hand on the chimney pipe.
https://i.nostr.build/An5E.jpg
After the fire burns out, the heat absorbed by the pea gravel slowly radiates out into the living space until the next fire is burned and the gravel is recharged with heat once again. I built this rocket mass heater for a fraction of the cost of a wood burning insert, with no special tools, materials, or skills.
https://i.nostr.build/DZBa.jpg
It has been an unusually warm November and December here at the homestead. Normally we have to start burning wood in the rocket mass heater early November to stay comfortable but this year, the bitcoin mining dehydrator was enough to stay warm and do some food preservation simultaneously.
https://i.nostr.build/2Dw8.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/479W.jpg
Transaction fees started climbing and I was shocked to see the most efficient miner I had approaching break even at my electric rate.
https://i.nostr.build/2vyP.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/GZ2J.jpg
I didn't have the circuit to run it wired yet but this bump in fees was the motivation I needed to get the miner hashing. Coincidentally, the weather also started to get colder finally so getting the miner up and running was a win/win.
https://i.nostr.build/nxkq.jpg
It successfully kept us and our guests warm through the holidays, even earning some Bitcoin beyond the cost of power at times, all while allowing us to save our firewood.
https://i.nostr.build/XdWL.jpg
We did have to fire up the rocket mass heater a handful of times, but so far we've burned less than half the amount of wood compared to previous years. This is thanks to the combination of the warm weather, and high transaction fees allowing us to stay warm with heavily subsidized electric heat.
https://i.nostr.build/K2xl.jpg
This might be the first winter we make it through with wood leftover for the next year, typically I'm scrounging for the last couple weeks.

Are you ready for Mr. Sheehan's wild ride? While I can't personally vouch for the veracity of all of his info he certainly knows how to spin a 🧶. And who knows, maybe it's all true. He certainly speaks with confidence and can name drop like nobody's business.

Thanks for the link. Great interview.

I have become somewhat obsessed with this topic the past few months. In fact that is one reason I have been less active on nostr. There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in the topic here, while there is a very active and vibrant community on twitterX. While there are certainly exceptions, most bitcoiners seem to be dismissive of the topic without having much knowledge of the literature, history, or current events taking place regarding disclosure. Skepticism is always warranted, and the layers of obfuscation and deception are seemingly endless, but I just don't get the attitude of simply hand-waving away the whole topic as a psyop.


This is pretty cool

My pops had a photography hobby most of his life and left behind a vast library of photos. He especially liked taking nature and wildlife photos. When I was visiting my mom recently I obtained some of them and thought I would share some with my fellow nostriches.

Nice pepe couch

So this is what was tripping me up. I went to my new alby account which didn't have any keys saved and put in my private key. Once I did this the "Remove current key" button appeared even though the account didn't have any keys saved. This made me worried that if I clicked it it would overwrite the keys in my other account. After your response I went ahead and clicked it anyway and was able to save the keys and it didn't overwrite the keys on my other account. Works great! I would recommend changing that button to say "Save keys" rather than "Remove current keys" if it is the first time that nostr keys are saved on that account.

A few words about #nostr in #iran

See it for yourself, how many iranians do you see here?
I have actually counted and collected the npubs. There are less than 200 npubs. 90% of them inactive.
And from the active ones I can only attest to a few of them being inside the borders.
Nostr has only three advanges for us,
First, if our gov tries to block a client it is relatively easy to migrate to another client.
Second, no one can remove or delete anyone.
Third, if you know how, you can run your own relay and even client.
That's the sum of it.
But the main source of internet, the mane hose, is still in control of the regime.
They can shut down or choke our connection anytime they decide. And they have done it a lot.
They have manipulated and ruined our internet to the point that I was never able to upload a video here. I tried.
I would have done a lot more if I could upload video.
Our regime, like any other dictatorship around the world, has fosterd cyber-troops, cyber-soldiers.
You bet they would flood the nostr with there bullshit misinformation and disinformation as soon as they know nostr exist and has impact.
And unlike us, ordinary people, they have unfiltered high-quality internet connection and and they are equiped with better devices and servers.
So the mass adoption of Nostr by Iranians can potentioally back fire big time. That is why I was hesitant to promote it more persistantly.

Toon Joosen Splices Snapshots of ’60s Life into Tongue-in-Cheek Collages

https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/joosen-4.jpg

Artist Toon Joosen (previously) continues his retro mashups, splicing two distinct images into ironic and amusing juxtapositions. Having amassed an enormous archive of magazines and newspapers from the 1960s, Joosen tends to identify a pair of clippings “that together strengthen or alienate the whole,” he says. Through warped perspectives and exaggerated scales, the resulting collages reveal the artist’s signature wit as they depict people lounging on massive lilypads, a young boy spraying whipped cream on a beach, and a fisherman reeling in love.

¡Qué raro pensar que de los tres tiempos en que hemos dividido el tiempo el pasado, el presente, el futuro, el más difícil, el más inasible, sea el presente! El presente es tan inasible como el punto. Porque si lo imaginamos sin extensión, no existe; tenemos que imaginar que el presente aparente vendría a ser un poco el pasado y un poco el porvenir. Es decir, sentirnos el pasaje del tiempo. Cuando yo hablo del pasaje del tiempo, estoy hablando de algo que todos ustedes sienten. Si yo hablo del presente, estoy hablando de una entidad abstracta. El presente no es un dato inmediato de nuestra conciencia.
Nosotros sentimos que estamos deslizándonos por el tiempo, es decir, podemos pensar que pasamos del futuro al pasado, o del pasado al futuro, pero no hay un momento en que podamos decirle al tiempo: "Detente. ¡Eres tan hermoso...!", como quería Goethe. El presente no se detiene. No podríamos imaginar un presente puro; sería nulo. El presente tiene siempre una partícula de pasado, una partícula de futuro. Y parece que eso es necesario al tiempo. En nuestra experiencia, el tiempo corresponde siempre al río de Heráclito, siempre seguimos con esa antigua parábola. Es como si no se hubiera adelantado en tantos siglos. Somos siempre Heráclito viéndose reflejado en el río, y pensando que el río no es el río porque ha cambiado las aguas, y pensando que él no es Heráclito porque él ha sido otras personas entre la última vez que vio el río y ésta. Es decir, somos algo cambiante y algo permanente. Somos algo esencialmente misterioso. ¿Qué sería cada uno de nosotros sin su memoria? Es una memoria que en buena parte está hecha del ruido pero que es esencial.

I was blessed to visit St. Andrew Orthodox Church in Riverside CA a few weeks ago. I recommend visiting if you are ever near by. One of the outer doors features this carving of St. Symeon the Stylite.

He lived most of his life on the top of a pillar in Syria, seeking a life of fasting, prayer and seclusion. As is the case with many Orthodox saints, despite his best efforts, his desire for seclusion was for naught as word of his holiness grew throughout the empire and his pillar became a place of pilgrimage during his lifetime. Paupers and emperors, great saints and great sinners all sought both his prayers and wise counsel. The idea of a political leader seeking the advice of an ascetic who had been standing on a pillar in the middle of the desert for decades in prayer seems so absurd to the modern mind, and yet that is exactly what happened in the fifth century.

In the frantic pace of the global conference scene Pacific Bitcoin seems like ancient history already. Since then scenes Amsterdam and Lugano have come and gone, now there is Bali, before long will be Argentina, El Salvador, Nostrasia, Nostrville, an on and on. But I digress…

https://m.primal.net/HOXS.jpg

I'm just an anon bitcoin pleb that’s used to going it alone. Been that way for years. I don't really have any IRL friends who get bitcoin and I've never been much of an evangelist, even for the things I deeply believe in. If anyone brings up the topic I’m happy to give my 2 sats but that rarely happens these days. I tried to orange pill a few friends years ago to no effect and in the end, “If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.”

So when circumstances allowed me to attend Pacific Bitcoin I was stoked. Shout out to nostr:npub1j0shgumvguvlsp38s49v4zm8algtt92cerkwyeagan9m6tnu256s2eg9a7 for the ticket hookup. It was my first time attending a bitcoin conference and I'd never been around so many bitcoiners before, so many digital avatars manifested in real life. Many voices that have been planting thoughts and ideas in my brain for years through podcasts, twitter, books, and youtube were there in the flesh–real people after all.

In the whirlwind of it all I didn’t sit through many of the talks in person, preferring to spend my limited there checking things out on the floor and chatting with folks. Shout out to nostr:npub1hk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqvv20pf who I didn’t really know about before. I caught most of his talk and you should too. I haven’t gotten his book yet but I look forward to reading it at some point in the future.

Have you considered selling moocoo dogs at bedford football games?


The bird app is fucking awful and obviously feeding back into hate, bigotry, and violence with all of the gore and porn it’s promoting.

Happy we have each other and a means to stay connected where we are not being barraged with sexual and violent images constantly to keep us trigger, angry, and hurt.

Thanks Uncle


But more to your point, thanks for the reminder. The situation sucked me back to Twitter for too long today. The truth is nearly impossible to decern at this point. And while we must have compassion for fellow humans, nothing I do will change anything regarding the conflict, and I have to constantly check myself realizing that almost everything coming out of a way zone is propaganda.

Not everyone's cup of tea. We just happened to end up there by happenstance but I thought these were pretty cool. They are much more impressive in person. They are all made of wood. While they may not have any deep meaning, I do appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into them and I like his sense of color and interplay of light and shadow.  https://youtu.be/WUkh1Zza9ns?si=chD8lojVrPnlW-4h

What started as a wedding from a college friend grew into a trip that also included a visit to the Pacific Bitcoin Festival, the Santa Monica Pier, several parks and playgrounds, Parents and a host of other family and friends. Traveling is always challenging with little kids, but it was worth it, even if we did end up with covid upon our return. We made it home just in time to see the annular eclipse.

I didn't use much social media while gone, including nostr, since I was too busy interacting with people in real life. That was pretty nice. But I still like my digital nostrich friends so I figured I would share a few experiences over the coming days.


Yeah a few are in the post above

#Enshittification is the process by which a #platform lures in and then captures end users (stage one), who serve as bait for business customers, who are also captured (stage two), whereupon the platform rug-pulls both groups and allocates all the value they generate and exchange to itself (stage three):

Lot's of people think they have it all figured out. They believe they know how the world works and what their place is in it. They do not think from a perspective that what they perceive to be true, might not be. You stop looking for new information in that state.

Confirmation (and other) biases can take over if you are not careful.
We had a nice chat about these things yesterday, during a #meshtadel call.

I have always been searching for answers. How + why do things happen and work the way they do?

I've pondered existence and nothingness.

Besides coming up with interesting speculations about the nature of such concepts, I am happy to content with eternal uncertainty. I would rather be forever doubtful and questioning, than find myself absolutely convinced of some "truth."

I believe people, would in general, be a lot happier if they were to accept the fact that there are things we cannot know.
Uncertainty at first looks like anxiety come concrete, but in my experience it is sooner a guardian angel than a curse.

To me it seems that knowing with aboslute certainty what it (existence, life, the universe and everything) is exactly all about, might be the perfect description of hell.

I think it likely you are able to turn your personal reality into some ossilating experience of limbo, heaven and hell.

It does not seem odd to me that one must experience all of these states, in varieing degrees, to differentiate between what is good, what is not good, and where incremental improvements can be made, no matter your position in life. What for one seems frivolous, for someone else might be very serious.

When it comes to thoughts about what reality really is about, the conclusion I reach is I cannot know for sure. And I hope no One may ever get it.

Maybe this life is a dream. Perhaps you are just a Boltzmann brain, sprung into existence just a fraction of a second ago, with all memories of a life that never was.

People with a split brain (left side disconnected from right side (see: https://youtube.com/watch?v=PFJPtVRlI64&t=2s (yes, this is contested, but we are talking probabilities, not certainties)), can show very different responses when the same question is asked to the other hemisphere.

(Therefore you may consider telling your right hemisphere, that you love it: https://x.com/artdesignbySF/status/1317526020631728128?s=20 ;)
https://m.primal.net/HNDT.png

Further more, let us not forget that, there is the realization that by naming things in an attempt to describe and make sense of the world around us, we create the illusion that we are separate from it.

I think Alan Watts said it nicely when he mentioned the human body, and the well of consiousness it holds, is more akin to a whirlpool/vortex in a river, than a disconnected thing from the stream of existence. (cc @npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 ;)

These thoughts may result in a feeling of unity with the world around you, or, on the flipside, feel very solpsistic (which is a very lonely idea).
Convincing yourself of one or the other, or any other "truth" people hold with certainty about reality, IMHO is a foolish endeavor.

Don't get me wrong. I understand people long for some solid footing. A certainty to build their lives upon. My argument is, that counterintuitively, the paradoxical position of building upon uncertainty leads to a stronger, less foolish, foundation to build your reasoning upon.

As reality blends more with the digital, beware you do not convinced things do not matter because we may live in some simulation (or whatever the new idea will  be).

I think it is a blessing instead of a curse that we are doomed to search for answers to unanswerable questions. For a man convinced he holds the absolute truth, might -without blinking an eye- do the most horrific things in name of what he perceives to be that truth.

Harden your soul against words.
For when a word offends thee, lest you confuse it with physical damage, and repay in kind.

Beware the banality of evil. It lurks in all of us.

End of rant.

GM


🤔 I'm thinking about it. You still got it?


aint no love like pleb love 🧡 🫂 💜


I had fun writing it. I really enjoy your product but I wanted to express my thoughts a little more than, "I like it."  Thanks for bringing your product to the nostr market! Now I want to try that mastic liquor.


Why'd you leave?


Very impressive


Well done! Looks like a great project.


Oh wow we all live in space don't we?


Wow looks like a sunrise to remember


Manic-scrolling, utopia-scrolling, something like that


It all started when nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m posted this:

nostr:note1srgru54d8mtkesq0zpx5vrjau0pfpluy73uzy7nxzqe6ywlhkgdq8r4rn7

I recalled that I had some of those tea tree tooth picks once upon a time which I thoroughly enjoyed. But what was the deal with this gum? Mastic gum. Sounded familiar but couldn't put my finger on it. I had recently gotten back into chewing gum, and I liked the idea of going the lindy route and consuming natural things. To top it off, the nostr:npub19lhkt6w7q4nqcxllztrs8kg3x4asvh4fcahr246yp9rfpashj87qz5qdzy account appeared on nostr shortly after jack's quasi-endorsement so I checked out the website. Very tempting, though it seemed pretty expensive for gum, even with the bitcoin discount. But can you really put too high of a price on having the jawline of a Greek god? It was having a cultural moment on nostr and I decided to be a part of it. Nostriches can be independent-minded but we also love a good bandwagon, and I was ready to hop on and take the ride.

Excited by its arrival in the post at the end of my lunch break, I quickly excavated the product tin and popped it open. Looks and smells more like incense than juicy fruit. Promising. And just like that the first little glorious piece passed between my lips.

A Rough Beginning - This may have been my great-grandfather's chewing gum, but it hardly resembles the Bubble Yum of my youth. Maybe a slight resemblance to rock hard Bazooka Joe but without the little comic. It is very hard at first and if you try to chew it too quickly, you may come to regret it when it shatters into a hundred small shards that find their way into crevasses in your teeth you didn't realize you had, and then when you try to pick it out from your teeth you get a sticky mess on your fingers that is seemingly impossible to get off. It is tree sap after all. All of this unpleasantness can easily be avoided if you just take it slow.

https://media.tenor.com/4k0OWRkoWmkAAAAd/mr-bean-bean.gif
Suck on it a little bit and chew gently until it softens up. If you are expecting modern chewing gum you will be sorely disappointed. You won't be blowing any bubbles with this stuff. If you are willing to lay aside your scruples you may just be rewarded. As you chew you might have a hard time stopping, but be careful not to over do it. At the end of my first night my jaw was pretty sore.

The Flavor - It is herbal, pine-like, subtle yet complex, spicy, tangy. Similarities to frankincense and other resin based incenses are there. It can be a little overwhelming at first, but it can also seem to have very minimal flavor, it's hard to explain. It can be somewhat bitter, but you get used to it. As your taste buds get acquainted it becomes quite pleasurable.

https://media.tenor.com/R9jCVrfViIsAAAAd/taste-test-matty-matheson.gif
The Tingle - There is a peculiar numbing quality to it. I barley even noticed it until the first piece came out of my mouth after a couple hours of chewing. Not nearly as strong as something like tea tree, mint, or clove, but a pleasant warm and fuzzy feeling on the tongue and mouth. The vibrations continued to echo in my mouth for some time.

https://media.tenor.com/sK0lgi0I4dkAAAAC/spidey-senses.gif
The Warmth - Chewing starts out slow, but as time goes on the strength and frequency increases. I begin to compulsively chew harder and faster, and as this happens my mouth warms up. The warmth is certainly in part due to the gum's' piquancy, but it is more than that. The physical temperature rises. Since the gum is harder than modern chewing gum, as you chew it there is more friction. The kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy and pretty soon your mouth feels like it is curled up in an easy chair next the fire with a well-worn copy of the third volume of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

https://media.tenor.com/nsdDewuWdNMAAAAC/cozy.gif

The Salivation - Whether the tears of Chios are a true sialogogue or merely mouthwatering I do not know, but I suspect the former. I can say that chewing leads to excessive salivation, which leads to more chewing, in tantalizing loop. Perhaps this is at least part of the reason for Mastic's reported healthy digestion promoting properties.

https://media.tenor.com/-xzOoSVqd0YAAAAC/homer-simpsons-the-simpsons.gif
The Hygiene - Just before bed at the end of the night, I have been second guessing myself. Did I already brush my teeth? Nope, they just feel clean from chewing the gum. Before mastic I had been chewing xylitol gum and it has a similar cleaning effect, but the mastic takes it to another level. I think it is a combination of the the chemical properties, the higher amount of friction due to the toughness of the gum, and the increased salivation. My wife told me that she hasn't noticed coffee breath or any halitosis since I began chewing the mastic. Wikipedia related this fun tidbit, "Ancient Jewish halachic sources indicate mastic as a treatment for bad breath: "Mastic is not chewed on Shabbat. When [is it forbidden to chew mastic on Shabbat]? When the intention is medicinal. If it is used for bad breath, it is permissible."

The Longevity - With this stuff you might just become just like Violet Beauregarde who famously said, "I chew it all day, except at mealtimes when I stick it behind my ear."
https://media.tenor.com/4eZWj_NrXPIAAAAd/violet-violet-beauregarde.gif
With most gum, the flavor doesn't last long, and once it's gone all desire to chew also vanishes. Not so with Apollo. I can chew a piece for a couple hours, take a break and save the piece, come back to it the next day and chew it for a couple more hours with very little degradation in quality. You just need to take it slow when it is re-hydrating. I will still be chewing on one piece of mastic in the time it takes me to go through a whole pack of low quality gum. While the flavor does become less intense overtime i don't think it ever goes away completely.

https://media.tenor.com/wqTNTAcZyEIAAAAC/energizer-bunny.gif
Conclusion - The jury's still out on whether chewing this stuff will make my jaw resemble that of Apollo but I am thoroughly enjoying chewing it either way and recommend you give it a try for yourself. Once you've got a piece to munch on, kick back and relax while you dig a little deeper by  checking out the Wikipedia page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastic_(plant_resin) and watching a video about how it is cultivated https://youtu.be/F95jAZtVmFE?si=KulDFUUk2dcDAxG4

What is one of your favorite things that you have repaired in this manner?


Have you ever thought about this?

In 100 years, like in 2123, we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.

Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All our possessions will be unknown and unborn, including the car we spent a fortune on, and will probably be scrap, preferably in the hands of an unknown collector.

Our descendants will hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. How many of us know our grandfather's father?

After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history's oblivion. We won't even be memories.

If we paused one day to analyze these thoughts, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all really was.

If we could only think about this, surely our approaches, our thoughts would change, we would be different people.

Always having more, no time for what's really valuable in this life. I'd change all this to live and enjoy the walks I've never taken, these hugs I didn't give, these kisses for our children and our loved ones, these jokes we didn't have time for. Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.

And we waste it day after day with greed and intolerance. https://i.nostr.build/YRBP.jpg

I like your ideas. Is there a model or concept for building the local town squares on nostr?


Exposing your mind to the global town square (even the one being built on nostr), is to subject yourself to forces of manipulation for which you may not be prepared.

Maybe there’s value to be found, but tread carefully, for you don’t know who (and what) is watching.

I’m very excited about nostr because of the things we have not built yet, but are definitely coming because once you see them it’s hard not to try to make it happen.

What I’m most excited about:

1. Multi-media apps on nostr. One I cannot stop thinking about is Zapstr (but re-focused on music only, with a simplified interface). Ok, this one already sort of exists, but the potential is huge IMO and has not even been touched.
2. Adult industry clients. Even if you disagree with them, I think there’s so much potential in zap-to-unlock content, and clients designed specifically for that media consumption experience.
3. Non-adult media consumption - apps that allow you to scroll and consume content quickly. We have an app like that already (forget the name) which has a ton of potential if fully refined.
4. “Deck” clients - https://snort.social/deck these will need a lot of work to make them feel snappy fast, but once there I think we can do so much in terms of the content that can be added into various columns. Lume is also heading in the right direction IMO.
5. Simple music players that can be integrated into any client. I cannot stop thinking about a global jukebox or zap-to-play.
6. Easy multi-account switching. Some clients already have this but it’s not as fast as it could be. I think having multiple personas may help content creation on Nostr. I would like to push clients to make npub switching as easy as possible.
7. Nostr widgets - any cool use case such as ecash designed into great looking widgets that are easily carried over into clients.
8. Better notifications - automated stream alerts, automated nests reminders
9. AI tool integrations such as automated nests transcripts, stream transcripts.
10. Video uploading (think YouTube). I think this could grow nostr tremendously when we can link people to content shared on a nostr video client instead of YouTube
11. Better Long-form content consumption within social clients. I think at least a few clients have the designs already but it hasn’t been developed much.
12. Better sharing mechanisms, built in sharing buttons, anything to get the word out to other platforms.
13. Highlighted media (text, audio) within clients that can support that. Highlights from articles, from friends, bookmarked / shareable highlights page (think your personal book shelf but for highlights, and you can share it with anyone).
14. Zap-splitting tracks, playlists.
15. Real time sat streaming while playing music or podcasts
16. Better communities. Reddit is cool, but I think we can do much better. I feel that this space has so much potential that we are just not exploring yet.
17. Niche use cases nobody is thinking about like Stargazr (lyrics interpretation client).
18. Traditional app integrations with nostr apps. This is a big one that I haven not heard anyone talk about yet. What makes Slack powerful is not that it works as a chat app - but the integrations they’ve built in over time. Nostr can do the same if we forgo the “nostr only” mentality and start integrating with other apps. This also gives us a marketing channel within those vendor integration pages, announcements / tweets.
19. SEO - don’t see anyone thinking about SEO or so it seems. HUGE area of opportunity that requires some thinking and applying.

I’m probably forgetting a lot of things and not anticipating other awesome ideas. There’s so much to build! We may not have a million active users, but the possibilities for new types of interactions are endless. No other protocol or app can match it.


Farewell to summer.
