I wrote a NIP for this. Got almost zero engagement.  People want baubles. 

 I already did it the other way.  Stop coming up with better ideas! 

 I do that with different Unix accounts. But you could just use GOSSIP_PROFILE or GOSSIP_DIR to point to a different data dir or profile name.  Env cars. 

 The middle claim I saw on FlightRadar24, I can vouch for that claim.  The first and last are rumor. 

 I'm just verifying that I saw the blip on flightradar and then flightradar couldn't find the blip anymore.  I don't know if they turned off their transponder, crashed, landed on an aircraft carrier, etc.. I'm just reporting on the news. 

 Could have been this:   "IDF F-35 stealth fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force conducted an airstrike against headquarters of the IRGC backed Hashd Al-Shaabi militias in Kalso garrison, Iraq, two hours ago" 

 The harp symbolizes Ireland?  I thought that the harp was the symbol of Guinness Beer... and Guiness Beer was the symbol of Ireland. 

 I don't know shit about this situation, but what comes to my mind is the looting risk.  Disasters draw looters like flies.  So I suppose FEMA is stopping private people from coming in to offer assistance on the presumption that they are looters. 

 Let me repeat:  I don't know shit about this situation. 

 No symptoms. I feel normal. 

 Ok then maybe everybody younger than 90 is always on X and that is why they weren't at the town hall meeting. 

 Needs more snakes 

 I'll take that to mean I'm moving in the right direction, and that you are visionary. 

 It will just be a manual test that only happens when you choose a relay to test and press the test button.   I'm not even sure I should bother persisting the results beyond a restart, or even preventing double-click from testing twice.

So yes you could imagine better more automatic things, but this should save people 98% of the time they currently have to spend researching which relays are appropriate for which purposes.  Test... ah there is one.  Switch!  Next relay, test... nope... next relay...  You could work things out in under a minute now. 

 Right now people just pick relays kinda randomly.  A lot of the time they pick relays that are very specialized and just don't work for normal nostr things.

This "test" button will tell you if a relay works, so you only pick relays that work instead of picking broken or specialized relays by accident.

And what are you drinking? 

 I pulled some code from the relay tester.  It is a "Ship of Theseus" question that I don't know how to answer. 

 You can use one relay to do all the things if you wanted to.

I'm just trying to avoid mismatches.

As for automating relay selection, fiatjaf is against hiding relays from users and he makes some good arguments. So I'll leave it manual for now. 

 Oh sure it's hard to stop cold turkey. Can be done but not a great idea.

But I find it to be trivially easy to phase it out over about 5 days. 

 I was for 3 weeks.  Now I have small amounts here and there.  But mostly I'm on tea. 

 Yeah I know. But it's like watching a rubgy game. Good wholesome entertainment.

 I've been using Coracle so I hadn't noticed.  I didn't change anything with following lists recently that I can recall.

Perhaps Amethyst changed to NIP-44 encryption for the content and forget to support decrypting from both?  Just a wild guess. Vitor should know more. 

 Yes she does. Her diet is mostly raw meat with the bones. Chicken and lamb, kangaroo based kibble (smells like cereal more than kangaroo),  rotten dead rabbits she finds, freshly shot rabbits, possums from time to time, sheep shit (her choice not mine) and the occasional long blades of grass, dried duck snacks, peanut butter, and tiny bits of (toxic in high quantity) chocolate, maybe a few almonds, cottage cheese from the bottom of the container, yogurt from the bottom of the container. 

 Oh and lambs that didn't make it, and sheep parts that I don't eat (she loves the brain and the liver) 

 Yes the United States is targetted by Israel. This is why so many people in the United States are pro-Israel. They spend massive amounts of money to keep America on their side, and I believe also probably have blackmail on a bunch of people (there is no way congress is entirely pro-Israel, somebody is surely being blackmailed).

But interestingly, most other countries are not being targetted by Israel. You will see a very different perspective from the US/Israel perspective in many other countries. And the UN walkout when Bibi did his speech kinda shows how most of the world sees things very differently... those countries where Israel didn't spend the time and money to deceive. 

 These maps show that, according to your theory, Russia is trying to steal coal and metals, but not natural gas or oil. Interesting.

Can you explain why are they fighting down near the lower Dnipro river where there are no resources?

I keep your theory in a superposition of possibilities, but it's not a strong one in my book.  Russia has MASSIVE mineral resources that are untapped... the limiting factor is people and infrastructure, not underground resources.  There is no logic to getting more resources when they can't harvest all the resources they already have.  OTOH if these resource dots already have infrastructure pulling out resource that would be different but I don't tihnk WaPo used such dots.

I think Russia wants to maintain it's Naval presence at Sevastopol and to never be cut off from it (via Kerch bridge attacks) and so they wanted a "land bridge" all along the north from Rostov-on-Don across and right down E105 to always have access to their critical naval port.  I don't think they want to capture any more of Ukraine but are taking it because it strengthens their negotiating position.

None of this means Ukraine shouldn't be fighting them back. If I were Ukraine I'd be doing everything I could to fight them back. But I'd also prioritize what matters most and understand what matters most to my enemy so that some kind of settlement could be made, and try to move the situation towards a peace.

You also argue that "killing people is a part of self-defense."  Turn that around.  Perhaps (another theory) Russia killed people in Eastern Ukraine for self defense. We have even NY Times articles that the US was installing military right along the Russian border including CIA bases.  I think this possibility is strong.

I wouldn't be wed to just one explanation too tightly, and most things are decided based on multiple reasons. 

 You seem very certain. 

 I listened to much of the first episode and I think he really get into the shoes of the people whose story he tells. I was very impressed. I don't recall anything he said being wrong, but he did certainly defer counterarguments when he was telling it from the side of the Jews.

But I haven't listened to the whole long thing yet.  Thanks for reminding me.

It will truely be only historical though, he doesn't go beyond 1949. And the recent events are far more interesting to me. 

 Did they now?

I'm not going to pretend Iran is a good country without serious serious problems. Maybe they killed civilians. But I heard from an Israeli news source that only 2 people had minor injuries from Iran's attack. Did that get updated?

Iran clearly is trying to do the most limited response it can under Article 51.  It cannot just be attacked and not respond, that is military suicide.  Buit it doesn't want a war.  It wants friendly relationship with the USA.  It wants a new nuclear deal and sanctions lifted.  Netanyahu is determined to scuttle anything like that.

Also, if the USA is not responsible for the military actions of Ukraine, then Iran is not responsible for the military actions of Hezbollah. 

 Spinach and rhubarb are oxalate heavy. So is tea.  Anything that makes your teeth feel dry is probably oxalate heavy.

But cabbage and brassicas aren't. 

 I've practiced "sugar control" for 30 years.  Even small amounts of sugar tastes too sweet for me. I don't crave it, I am repulsed by sweet tastes. I'm very much "off of sugar".

And intermittant fasting does work for me. But it isn't always easy, and the effort psychologically detracts from other things I'm trying to put effort into. 

 Ok well this is pretty much carnivore, so here we go! 

 It is good to hear this worked for you.

And also good for me to hear that sugar was the binge craving.  Because I haven't craved sugar since I was 5 years old.  I hate sweet tastes.  Always did.   But I do love bread... :-/ 

 I'll be eating kimchi and miso soup, because I don't think it is healthy to go without some plants and bacteria.  Once I'm done with my keto period I will reintroduce things like cabbage and swedes. 

 If I buy green coffee beans and roast them myself, are they likely contaminated with mycotoxins?  I have a UV light to check for that classic aflatoxin glow, lemme check .....  nope they don't have aflatoxin.
 

 Your experience is very much what I expect... where you just can't eat any more fat and protein, and yet you are still hungry for something.  Your body wants carbs (for the brain at least) and has to subtitute ketones, but it really doesn't want to, so you remain carb-hungry. 

 Thanks. Yes we are complicated and all somewhat different. I experiment on myself a lot and I take a lot of clues from evolution, some evolutionary arguments are very convincing. Gluten alone didn't make much difference in my case, but cutting out coffee+milk+wheat for 2 weeks did fix my IBS for a while (until I started cheating)... it took almost 2 weeks for the result to occur which is probably why it has been so hard in the past to test foods (I didn't know I had to wait so long). HIIT is great. I climb hills as fast as I can, forcing myself to over-breathe makes it easier. My current keto diet is not a short-term change, it is a short-term experiment. I will evaluate what to take from it after I'm done experimenting. 

 You are right on the metamucil I have pure psyllium husk I am using that instead. I just grabbed the bottle for the picture without much thought.  Metamucil has sugar anyways I think. 

 End of day 2 and I'm doing ok 

 The green beans 

 Wahl clippers are unreasonably good. No other brand comes close.

As for an e-reader I'd choose a Kobo. You can copy the books to your computer and decrypt them so you will never lose access to them. I'm not sure you can do that with a Kindle. 

 Ok sorry I was wrong to put keto in that sentence.  I was thinking how everybody I know that did keto lost weight but gained it back later on... but it surely has an effect.

 I wouldn't call it a simple hack, not as easy as a pill or athletic tape.  But I benefit from that and I concur.   If you are going for more than 1 day I would use a protein drink and weight training  (including hill climbing) to avoid muscle loss... so not a strict fast for too long.   Even if you have tons of body fat, you burn both fat and muscle during a fast once you deplete your glycogen which happens in about a day. 

 Ok that is good to hear. 

 You are right, if you keep doing it you will keep the weight off.  And your visible measures of health will be great.

But I'm not convinced that longterm keto is without risk.  I think it raises the risk of colon cancer and atherosclerosis very significantly.  I've talked to doctors who have told me they are seeing a huge uptick of young people with colon cancer, far more than ever before, just in the last 5 years.  And I notice that is when carnivore diet became popular.  And I notice that medical research going back many decades has made that association before many times.  So I have a hypothesis and I'm running with it.

Of course medical science might be wrong, or misinterpreted or whatever, but I don't want to argue this.  We can just agree to disagree.  I just wanted to state my position so you understand my personal choice here.

I'm only in it for the short term.  I will lose weight, I will see what all the fuss is about, and then I will slowly adjust the diet and try to keep the weight off. 

 Some sleep apnea is caused by obesity. In my case you are correct.  In Joe Rogan's case you are not.

I've been experimenting on my IBS for years and still haven't come to any firm conclusions. Sometimes I wonder if maybe it isn't a food intolerance at all -- for example, maybe some nights I sleep in my stomach and the pressure that causes shoves stomach acid through my duodenum counter-cycle to my digestion, and that stomach acid without bile salts or something similar is fucking things up.  Just a hypothesis, hard one for me to test. 

 I'm at the end of day 2 on an essentially carnivore diet, except I am eating some kimchi which isn't even strictly zero carb but does have high vitamin C and fiber.  I plan to go 30 days.  You could say I'm taking your advice, except that you basically described what I'm already doing. 

 I agree, and kimchi is traditionally eaten before a meal. 

 Also change the color of the sky. 

 Well then, to the next evolution of the current cockroaches... I wish you luck little guys. 

 No. Is it a good movie? 

 I keep burning myself into the ground.  My house is a mess, my lawn is overgrown, and it is hard to stay awake, and I still cannot keep up.   But I get distracted by war news... I gotta stop looking and start sleeping. 

 That means it is a 3 digit number, too fat to fit into the circle.  They all just becomes stars. 

 I could not get it to compile.  After 2 hours, instead of holding up the release, I just released everything else.  I'll keep trying but I'm really quite stuck. 

 If you want to try, cd into packaging/flatpak and run 'build_flatpak.sh'.

For some reason it pulls/uses rust 1.77.2 which is too old for some of the deps.  I can't figure out why it is using that since both rust installs on my system are 1.80. 

 brilliant!  Thank you. 

 Printed! 

 Ok I put my monitors into low-blue mode.
