 Whoever decided that call center employees must stick to a script, read through the entirety of said script before ever actually maybe, possibly arriving at the resolution of my problem, that person is my arch nemesis. 
 I think my guardian angel damn well deserves a drink. They’ve been busy. 
 A few stressful things but life is mostly good and busy. How are you? 
 The Hippos wondering when I’m going to acknowledge that yesterday February 15th was World Hippo Day, to raise awareness about the plight of hippos, which are one of the most endangered large mammals on the planet. #hippoappreciationclub Thanks @Annie☕ too. https://image.nostr.build/a1e46f9ced9d95131d10a0df5cc0771d7e3c64225d4dde5f840e00e1d4550327.jpg  
 I tried. It did work better than yesterday! 
 I’ll try again when I get a chance!

 Women’s clothes sizes are basically meaningless in the states. I’ve heard the UK has better standardization of sizes. Here a size 12 in one store can be really really big and a size 12 in another can barely fit over my thigh. 
 Yo guys who’s down for another Nostr games night this Saturday? 😎

 Do you have specific hours in UTC that you’re looking for a teacher to be available? Asking before I pass the info along to teacher friends.

 Don’t need cable to watch the Super Bowl. We just use Hulu streaming. 
 For the Super Bowl, yes. 
 Nice! Beautiful lamp 
 It was fated. I have a thing for lamps. Also need to purchase some new lamp shades. I’ve also got another vintage lamp dismantled for cleaning and rewiring. My first apartment had more lamps than pieces of furniture because I kept finding such cool lamps at thrift stores.

 Wrong Jack 
 Jack Mallers is CEO of Strike. Jack Dorsey is Block Head and Cash app is part of Block. 
 Luis Oliveira I believe actually oversees CashApp and Dorsey is in charge of the parent company Block. 
 Maybe at Jack and see who you should be pissed at? 🤣 
 LinkedIn is basically a reversed Tinder

Hot girls write to nerd guys and they don't reply 
 Globey is your brand. You can consciously create one or let it happen organically. I prefer the current organic nature of nostr. 
 Influencer is so cringe to me. 
 nostr feels like reddit at times

but you're just stuck in r/bitcoin and r/nostr for most of it 
 🤣😂🤣 
 Lol. I was just testing out an attempt to be good with the nostr lingo re: shitcoins as it relate... 
 Yes, do tell. 
 I’m glad @5c508c34 asked. My brain immediately thought he died. 
 Relatable. Was tempted to just turn my phone off at one point. It can’t be an emergency if I don’t know about it, right? 
 I didn’t either. Did seem like people thought I was next up on the rotation to deal with any/ every emergency. Taking a beat and letting the situation unfold more has been really helpful this week. Hope your week calms down! 
 Bitnorbert shared a way to watch the COPA vs. Wright court stream. 
https://x.com/bitnorbert/status/1755503992505798984?s=61&t=ubtZRMBRXX9hAzIrkl6TMQ 
 I really wish COPA vs Wright was live streamed. 
 Not sure he actually called him a little baby. Kid looks like foul language was used. 
 For everyone who thinks they have nothing to hide. nostr:note17q7mquxs8ss22dnh7vl5te09f8dvnwffcxhcwmj2827led6nfads7agz34 
 Who knows the best fish and chip place in London? 
 It's my birthday, I get a free pass today 
 Happy Birthday! 
 any material y'all would recommend for studying statistics? 
 I always recommend people start with How to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff and/or Naked Statistics by Charles Wheelan. It’s good to get a broad overview of statistics and how they can be manipulated. Read before taking a university level course or delving into a meatier book. 
 Apparently 13 years ago today, I went and saw Motörhead at The Warfield in San Francisco. It was a good show. 
 Guys who randomly send dick pics remind me of a cat who brings dead animals as a gift. 

Ewww why... 
 The cat makes more sense to me. 
 who’s going to Madeira ? 👀 nostr:npub1h493d0qgwhu95s82zd9sxrt3ckn3ttgvaf04z02neckadxw5fkvqte... 
 LFG!!! 
 Looking forward to meeting you IRL 
 Nope @Eshara won’t be able to make Madeira due to work considerations. 
 Belated good morning 
 Book 3 finished. On to 4 🤓 nostr:note1sdk7yszzsk082ydrzx8l6y5685umu9fd0sfmzl0dspcqc5gyyssqla5vv2 
 I was aiming for about a book a week. I fell out of the habit and need to get back into reading regularly. 
 Do scripts count or books only? 
 Ok I’ve got the best of the blacklist to work through. 
 31 days no alcohol. 
 Amateur. Kidding. Good job. 
 What?!

 Huh? I’d like to be clued in. 
 How would you take a bath with them out of the water? How hot are your baths? How long are you staying in them? I think any man’s cojones should be fine in a bath. How’d I get in this conversation? 
 I made the assumption and leap to protect them from heat. Sperm production is best at a bit below body temperature. Hence why testicles evolved to hang from the body instead of being contained within the abdominal cavity. 
 I never thought about balls in a bath before today either. I’m a bit sorry I asked. I thought y’all had a discussion on men having a different experience of bed & breakfast’s. I was like how different could it be?! 
 Will be hard to make a bet if no one bets against me 🤣 
 I’m a woman of my word. Bet paid.
