 BREAKING: THERE ARE CURRENTLY MORE SELLERS THAN BUYERS 
 I bought and build a sauna for myself and it is as glorious as I thought it would be. 
 I’m thinking about something similar… probably not in the budget for this year, but maybe next.

Any tips? 
 How do people have so much fiat left that they can stack every dip? 
 It’s this odd thing where the company I work for keeps sending it to me.  I wonder if they know 
 Nice 🤙

I have an auto stack set up, but I also keep a decent buffer of USD Coin for normal expenses.  Sometimes I dip into that for extra stacking when necessary ;) 
 Eh don’t sweat it.  Sounds like you’re stacking your butts off 
 Wow I didn’t even realize we dipped below $58k 😮

Not to lean into your FOMO but I just stacked a big one 
 What’s the best way to kill a nest of ground bees?  I think it’s got to be a big nest, or maybe multiple nests, way too close to the house.

#AskNostr 
 Everything I read online specifically recommended not use gasoline/fire 🤔

But then it’s unclear what is the next best way 
 Yeah I was thinking of starting with hot soapy water.  Will get it good and boiling 🤙 
 What's your daily driver in terms of nostr client(s)?  
 Damus 🫡 
 Damn Bitcoin is volatile AF today. 

🤞must be a sign, we’re gonna moon soon.

 #58kGang strikes again 
 I remember the crash to $3k was also an amazing ride.  A lot cheap corn was stacked 🤙

 Time to move to the mountains 🤙 
 Doesn’t it depend on the type of debt?  What about a low interest mortgage or student loan?

Obviously trying to outpace 20% credit card debt is a terrible idea. 
 Yo @NVK, I’ve been starting to look into outdoor home sauna information, now that I have room for one (still need to convince the wife 🤣)

I see a lot of small wood stoves listed on 2nd hand marketplaces.  Given the ventilation is all done properly, can any stove be used?  Or does does it need to be a specific type?

🤙 
 Noted, thanks for the tip!

I guess the major drawback is I’d need some electrical work done.  Will look into it. 
 Also good to know 🤙

My house is old (by US standards).  The electric system already struggles to keep up, so I may need some work regardless

 I like it.

A classic daiquiri is possibly the greatest cocktail of all time… so a ‘sats daiquiri’ should just be a classy twist, with a natural ingredient to add an orange hue 🤔 
 Idk…I might be team:

 Fuck this, having huge bushes of body hair is a pain in the ass.  Much easier to keep everything trimmed within reason 
 I’m pro-trimming the armpit hair too.  Don’t need to ‘shave’ it, but just remove the bush.

Thank me later 
 Dolphins are cool, smart, funny, eat great sushi…. I could get into that lifestyle 🤔 
 Flannel then 
 I’d still take wool itch over hair bush itch fwiw 
 I have a feeling I'll be ghosting a lot of friends in the coming years.

 I’ll always love my core group of friends I’ve had over the last 15+ years… but I can totally relate.

About a year ago, I moved from a city with an amazing Bitcoin community to a smaller town, to be closer to family.  It’s been a great decision overall, but I really miss seeing my Bitcoin friends in person. 
 Dudes, you trippin today or messing with me or looking at something I’m not? 😂 😂 
 We out here 
 This doesn’t even look real… like a scene from a movie. 

But maybe it is … in that case…... 
 Agree, the video looks fake.  There would be 1000’s of other videos from different angles with this many ppl in one place 
 Look how fast the hoards of ppl move together on the bridges… they would all need to be running at full speed, amongst full chaos 
 They typed the vote percentage break down into Excel, with 1 decimal place precision, and used that to generate the total votes 🤣 
 Gotcha, I did not verify.

I thought he was saying given the total votes for each candidate, the likelihood of the percentages all being exactly .10000 precision was evidence it was generated.  But maybe I misunderstood 
 Given 3 candidates and N voters, what is the probability that the percentage breakdown of the total votes per candidate all work out to exactly that level of precision?

That’s how I interpreted the tweet 
 What do you mean “the math outputs a rounded number”?

Do the math without rounding 
 Sure, 3 categories then 
 Classic case of lazy fake statistics 
 Ok at this point I think @Karnage is trolling us lol 
 “You can’t caculate a percent before you have the total count” 
 This is a great troll btw 
 The tally was generated from these inputs:
1. Total categories (2 candidates + ‘Other’ = 3)
2. Desired percentage breakdown (lazily, all given in 1 decimal precision)
3. Total voters

You’d have to play with 2 or 3, or let an algorithm/program do that for you, to get it to all work out so evenly. 
 Beautiful couple 🤙

Wayyy too bright in that bar turn the damn lights down 🤣 
 It’s been a long time since I updated my relays.  I don’t want to pay for a bunch of different ones, but I’d be happy to pay for a 6 or 12 month subscription to one or two.

What are the best relays these days for reaching a general audience? 
 Got it.  I do pay for Damus Purple 😅 
 Thanks, I’ll check out the ones you mentioned, I’ve heard of wine and eden but never bothered.  

To me having to “top up” or pay every week/month is bad UX.  I love the Mullvad model - flat monthly pricing, but you can pay for as many months as you’d like in advance. 
 Thank you @Kajoozie Maflingo @wavlake for the feedback, it’s my first time attempting any form of home studio.

Follow up question - what is a ‘good enough’ sound treatment that doesn’t break the bank?  I don’t need sound proof, I just want to dampen the reverberations off the wall/ceiling.

It’s a small office type room, I was thinking to start with just a suspended ‘cloud’ panel, maybe 2x4’ or 3’4’ should be ok for my space.  Any recommended brands, or general tips?

🙏🤙

@wavlake any idea who would have tips, I feel like it’s a “Home Studio 101” situation 🙏🤙 nostr:note1nv4mufdlxalxd5kh72fqgp0qzcnqpmgzq659qeacmzjnm5wrs38swnjyp0 
 Thanks!  I read somewhere that it could have data loss, but I’m probably just overthinking it :) 
 Music production nerds, I want to set up an audio interface on a different wall than my computer & desk.  It’s not a long distance, but it’s longer than any standard USB cord.  I probably need 5-6’ of total cable length.

I’ve read it’s a bad idea to just use a USB extension.  What do ppl typically do in these scenarios, convert to USB-over-Ethernet?  And if so, can I go Ethernet directly into my computer ‘Dock’, or do I need converters on both ends?

But if someone could pls link the absurd video of Kamala same “unburdened by what had been” 1000x, I would appreciate that. 
 It may not be “fun”, but nothing beats the o.g. NYC BitDevs 
 Yes.  I’ve been to a few other city’s BitDevs, and all are great with their own flavor.  But you can’t top the original. 
 #Nostr - it’s #PGP but with a reason to care. 
 Sure.  My note was meant to an oversimplification.

The point is most ppl would never have had a reason to care before Nostr.
