Pittsburgh Bitcoin meetup? 
 i've never been, but they have one coming up in a few days.

https://www.meetup.com/bitcoinpittsburgh/ 
 Oof. Yeah, I get that. Now here me out. I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I prefer Bitcoin Maxi meetups. Not Bitcoin and oh hey I also own this Shitcoin meetup. For the most part, I believe the Shitcoiners just need more education on their journey. Some are pure degens though. 
 Blood?

 Google's Gemini AI chat bot with live conversations is really damn good. I'm very impressed. Sometime I can't tell it's AI. Kind of cool. Kind of scary. 
 I'm sure the CIA agent in my webcam will do it for me. 
 You mean talking about AI? These tools are absolutely amazing and I think everyone should use them as tools, but when that happens we have a lot to worry about here too. Social norms, biases, censorship, people easily being manipulated etc. But then what about social and developmental issues as people become more reliant on these tools. 
 I think they each of areas in which they excel. 
 Yeah, those Notebook LLM podcast type talks are kind of amazing. 
 Love it. 🔥🔥🔥

 Dear Nostr,

I would like to express my heartfelt apologies, as I’m afraid that I have let you ... 
 It's okay sir. You're here now 🫂 
 Always ask in a nice tone if you may have some Freedom  
 Here you go, have 21 freedom units  
 TIL what PEBCAK is…I have this problem often it seems 🤣 
 🤣

Do you suffer from an ID 10 T error as well? 
 I want to completely redesign the Mostr Bridge. 
 Why's that? New features? Performance? 
 Sir I am sorry. I recently stoped using Nostream after 20 months of service. I'm now using Haven 🥹 
 which is why i will not stop spreading the purple pill to as many bitcoiners as possible at as many bitcoin conferences as possible. in person on-boarding is where it's at. we need more booths at larger events. we need more smaller local events. let's build!

 I just had Nostr Valley a couple weeks ago 😭 It's going to be a while for the next one. But yes, I'll keep you in mind! Thanks!

 Come for the PVs, stay for the bartending streams. 
 RIP. I like them. I don't get to watch them as much as I'd like though. 
 Yes! 
 Pause. I didn't agree to these terms. My beer fridge has a bunch of delicious Oktoberfest beers though. I can add some water to bring them down to Miller Lite levels. 
 I am honestly tempted to go buy a six pack just for shits and gigs. But my beer fridge is packed with Oktoberfest beers at the moment.

 Eh. That's okay. Honestly if I'm going to buy Fat Tire, I'm just going to get Yuengling. 
 That's amazing 😂 I'd buy Miller Lite for the first time in 20 years of the cans looked like that 🥹 
 I dunno man, I'm drinking water right now... Miller Lite is essentially water. 
 Definitely 😂 
 😂 I don't drink light beer. Unless it's free. Free beer is the best beer. 
 A great choice. 
 Amazing 😂😂😂 
 I'm not w big fan of IPAs, but Founders and Bells both have some of my favorite stouts. 
 It's cool man. We good. 

I haven't seen anything going the other way because I don't really pay attention to this. If it comes across my feed I'll commet on it. 

It's all just so tiring and mentally draining. After the last election where Republicans claimed fraud and every single instance of fraud was done by a Republican voting for Trump, it seems like it's projection as normal. Could there be more fraud on the other side? Yes. We just haven't seen it yet. 

IMO, since Trump has been claiming fraud for months, he's been setting the narrative. If you say something enough times, people will believe it. Even if it's not true, they'll question it. This is all that is happening here, IMO. Remember. Dude is a liar, a criminal, a grifter, etc. He always has been. What makes this any different than his past actions? If people tell you who they are, we should believe them.

So, question it and look for answers? Absolutely. That's what I did here. From my experiences, to me, this looks like a legitimate technical issue. It could be large scale or it could also be a few faulty units. People return mobile devices all of the time because of bad LCD panel batches. I have.

I remember buying a cheap Acer tablet for my son from Walmart. It functioned just like these videos. I returned it. Maybe this is what needs to happen here 😂 Go back to paer ballots. My technology backwards county still uses paper ballots. They're just counted via machine. Machines that I helped install back in 2006-ish. 
 Agree. It's going to take a lot more than one election to fix this shit show. We'll need several of them and many years. 
 They don't count absentee and mail in ballots and tally them live. They're counted and added in bulk. This graphic looks accurate to me. 
 I don't remember any of that happening. I just remember people upset and not understanding how mail in and absentee ballots work. 
 I voted straight Republican for 20+ years. What's my label? 
 Agree there. Proper voter ID and voting as a federal holiday so that all registered voters can vote. 
 Absolutely. You can connect the dots to any data points if you try hard enough. 
 We don't really know. It's so extremely rare.

For example in my state, Pennsylvania, 39 cases of voter fraud were identified or 0.000039% of the more than 100+ million ballots cast over the last 30 years. 
 My nephew, a very young man who hasn't dabbled much into alcohol, thinks he has a rare/unique con... 
 boy has a lot to learn lol 
 what an absolutely beautiful island. i can't wait to go back. 
 We don't have enough bitcoin content here. 
 you're absolutely correct. moar bitcoiners need to stop LARPing on twitter and join us.

 Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🫂🤙🏻💜

Happy Friday, builders! You're all killing it. Keep up the great work. The road ahead is rocky, but we have the tools to smooth it out along the way.

 If you don't like Bitcoin, but still like Nostr, here's one simple trick to remove the vast majority of Bitcoin content! Add words like Bitcoin, BTC, Satoshi, Blockchain, Timechain, UTXO, etc. to your mute or filter list and most Bitcoin content will be gone! https://nostrcheck.me/media/3f770d65d3a764a9c5cb503ae123e62ec7598ad035d836e2a810f3877a745b24/9d9b1b4db881fe059d864121981146579a4a462a278e56cec29435eb4be8be9f.webp 
 Not everyone fits in the same box. But also most only believe what they media tells them about Bitcoin. There is a lot of FUD out there. 16 years of it.
