 What are zaps? #asknostr

 it's not too late to get value for them 😂 
 I am flabbergasted that the bureau of labor statistics lied about the job market being healthy for an entire year. 

Just absolutely flabbergasted. 
 Don't they know economic decisions are made trusting their numbers! How could they do this 
 Got a few cool mornings in a row where we are, fall is the best season and I'm ready for it 
 Here's to 3 months of it this year! 
 Anyone here do meditation?

 yes, I like using the pause app to stop, think, and pray

 It’s snowing in the High Sierra Mountains in California.
In August. 
 That has to be a beautiful sight

 You can't be in peak physical condition if you don't jog/run.

#changemymind 
 Depends on your definition of peak.

I can no longer run. It was my favorite sport most of my life but I have an out of place bone in one foot that has given me arthritis and I have 3 days of pain for every run I do. There's no surgery or fix for it.

So I have to do everything else, my new peak cannot involve running 🫂 
 Yep, many doctors + physical therapy and also tried to just do barefoot running etc to fix it but no luck. They think it was either genetic or some injury basically my navicular bone is no longer between the other two bones. It no longer gets blood flow and has necrosis +arthritis. 

Options are surgery to rebuild entire foot (low chance I walk again) or deal with it and I can live a normal ish life except no running or long walks. Hoping medicine advances enough that that changes.

 i did for a while, it actually fixed my other foot which was flat but no luck on this one foot

S'all good, I've learned to deal, my point was more that the peak may depend on the person 😅 
 Long enough to run a half marathon in vibrams 😅, they're still my lifting shoes as I love them.

Unfortunately unless I have an arch support on that foot the two bones there close up and aggravate the arthritis. Ok during the day but wakes me up at night. That's why I stopped 
 No, those look awesome

 This is where I draw the line.

 too real, how even reading this made me feel

 gotta disagree with you here

Do we need to change the system, yes. That does not mean everything will be the same no matter which one gets elected

-both will have to print a lot of money (prob same)
-one side is vehemently set against Bitcoin and will make life harder for Bitcoiners in the USA and this will be worse for the country as we head to wards hyper BTC
-Overbearing taxes will make it harder to stack

So my life as a Bitcoiner will be easier and I will end up with more with one of these candidates

 
 Full communism, no probably not. 

A lot closer than I would like to be to communism for a second time in my life ... probably yes.

My point is to address the I don't vote because it doesn't matter sentiment that we Bitcoiners carry. I get the meme, I get that we need a new system but with a free action you may make the journey to the new system a little less painful. 
 Agree, and the list of true things gets longer and longer. To intuitives credit, I think he will digest this feedback and have a rational discourse about it 
 So would all of you say that Kamala v Trump will have 0 impact on:

-how Bitcoin is adopted in the US
-how Bitcoiners and Bitcoin devs are treated in the US
-How much Bitcoin you or your family end up with
-Americas place as the new system starts to unfold 
 I understand, thanks for the thoughtful discourse. I do think that's an extreme statement and don't fully agree with it.

I do think the vote will make a difference in how we Bitcoiners experience transition 

 
 I agree with most of that, it's the after effects of populism.

I just want to make the transition and path as survivable as possible. 

Maga and woke are two extremes and I don't vote because it makes no difference is also an extreme. I want to avoid all 3

Some topics/thoughts to consider

- perhaps list management (listr.lol)
- can I delete? No
- best way or resource for learning about relays (finding paid relays)
- you probably have this but a gateway to nostr tools like nsec bunker, the web signer extensions, Alby, zap life, listen

 all of the most well known presidential candidates in the US this year have weird voices. 
 true

a family member told me they could not vote for RFK because of his voice which I thought was an odd way to choose the future of your country 😅 
 what an odd thing to say, I mean I won't vote for him due to some policies but dang, it's not a podcast 

shrug 
 RFK fans, what will you do if the rumors are true? 
 Really reasonable take imo. He does seem to get it beyond an act. Could have really adopted the orange pill between BTC conference 2023 and 2024.
