 When you decide to check your cold storage and realise there’s more than you thought… #KeepStacking

 Agree - a very beautiful lady. 
 Been a while but doesn’t the Bakerloo Line also still run some very old carriages… they used and they were great! Wooden features etc. (maybe they’ve got rid of them now?). 
 I’m going with Russia in a new Bitcoin Cold War in prep for a potential US “strategic reserve” 
 Suits also do not define the role. Sometimes they are just great and very flattering…

 Simple. Just love it more than her and she will soon come to hate it. 😏 
 Anyone else hate pizza?

I just genuinely don’t enjoy it 🤔 
 Nope - you’re alone. 😁

 Mmm! And I apologise in advance for both sexualising a dessert and objectifying women, but if my lady doesn’t jiggle like this, I am not interested…

 Enlighten me. 😅 
 250 
 AI did not enlighten me…

The number “250” can refer to different things depending on the context. Here are a few possibilities:

1.	Quantity or Measurement: It could refer to a specific amount, such as 250 units of something (e.g., 250 items, 250 grams, 250 dollars).
	
2.	Historical Year: It could represent the year 250 AD, which might be significant in historical events or periods.

3.	Distance or Speed: It might refer to a distance (250 miles or kilometers) or a speed (250 miles per hour or kilometers per hour).

4.	Model Number: In technology or machinery, “250” could be a model number or version, like a camera model (e.g., Canon 250) or a vehicle model (e.g., a 250cc motorcycle).

5.	Area Code: In the context of phone numbers, it could refer to a regional area code.

6.	Milestone or Achievement: It might refer to a milestone or achievement, such as “250th anniversary,” “250th event,” or “250th edition” of something.

7.	Currency Denomination: In some countries, 250 could represent a currency denomination (e.g., 250 rupees, 250 pesos).

8.	Sports Statistics: In sports, it could refer to a player’s achievement, such as scoring 250 goals, points, or matches played.

Let me know if you had a specific context in mind! 
 A heavy drinker who passed away at only 59 in 1925, Erik Satie’s Gnossiennes No. 1 (from his “Three Gnossiennes” composed around 1890) stirs me every time I listen to it. 

What I like is the lack of time signatures / bar lines - it is “free time” and quite experimental with regards to structure and rhythm. (i.e. there’s no steady beat and the rhythm is free flowing). 

Enjoy. 😊

 Indeed. I was following it quite closely at one point… 
 I always saw DIDs as a kind of NOSTR thing too and not as scary as some made out - a means to port your personal info across different protocols where you were in control of your ID and who could access it, not some third-party storing it. But hey-ho… 
 Currently, I read and note with #Damus and zap from #Primal. Is this the way? 
 Yeah, been meaning to try this but it seems “sat expensive” on a monthly basis vs Primal, which is effectively free. 
 Yes, although not an RPi for me (I run StartOS on a ThinkPad - super solid) - but does this expose me to the opening and closing of lightning channels, etc. Was burnt by Mutiny and ultimately said fuck that… 
 Here’s a brief hodl / trading story. I have a side pot for selling at the top and buying at the bottom. So far, this is not working. 😅

 Spot on! 
 It’s an ass people. We all have them. Some cover them, some show ‘em. If my butt was as nice I’d show mine, especially if I promised its reveal on a prediction. Deal with it.

 This is life - enjoy! 
 It’s true. And that truth is why? It’s inherently natural. 😁 
 I’M TIRED OF THE BULLSHIT! 
 MSM “experts” offering their “gut feelings and opinions” is equivalent to pure conjecture and waffle. It’s literally 90% of content on the various TV channels right now. Switch off. 
 I was doing some deep
reading about this today. Forget money printing etc for one moment and my conclusion is that inflation in its most basic form is a result of human behaviour and basic supply and demand. It exists within simple trade, be-it two sheep for your donkey etc. If humans demand more donkeys or more sheep then inflation happens. However, it gets far more intricate when fiat money supply is involved.

 In general, the Canon will have more intuitive menus but the output from the Sony will be more pleasing. 
 Yep. I was shooting Canon 1D MKII many moons ago. Very capable camera with L-Series glass but the pictures always looked, as I call it, “plastic”. Moved to a Nikon D3 and later a D800 and rediscovered the digital version of the “film look” (these were Nikon-tweaked Sony sensors). Still loyal to Nikon, but the Sony’s with Sony glass are highly impressive.

 True that. It’s whatever drives the need to TikTok the whining that is distasteful/unappealing.

 You make a valid point. Few place themselves in others shoes but when they do perspectives change significantly.

 long time since i last used primal

testing 
 Welcome 😁 
 It’s ok. I’ve gone WoS via Mutiny via Alby and decided that primal just works for #NOSTR. 
 I’m toying with going all in (within an element of reason). This is the first time since 2015 that I’ve considered doing this. That’s a personal step change that hasn’t happened for a long while (not financial advice). 
 Try holding for almost a decade 😅

 Early morning power walk in nature soon after waking up, shower, poached egg on top of crushed avocado/toast, coconut water and an espresso. Then you are ready for the day… 
 I love the British insult of calling people donuts 🍩

 There are some great terms. I put this together just now (not aimed at anyone):

Cor blimey! Give over with the aggro and argy-bargy you numpty, and stop being such a bellend you fucking spoon. That’s right! You’re all mouth and no trousers and always bodge things up, especially after a bender. Such a wet blanket! Indeed, we can be having a chinwag over your daily rag and how it’s full of codswallop but when I ask for a butcher’s you instead turn the page and tell me to do one. You’re such a plonker! Seriously, get on yer bike you smarmy doughnut!
