 There was an interesting comment made by Trump in the debate last night about the Biden administration paying for transgender migrant surgeries. 

Well, as memeable as that sound bite is, reality is even crazier than Trump.

 Yup. 
 It’s good that Primal is responding to this issue. It sucks though that it takes Jack saying so... 
 Back in my day,  nostr devs used to update their apps in real time to user concerns. 

Now days, nostr devs just respond to jack and their VC overlords.  #nostrati 
 …Maybe you should try to get @jack to ask for that… 
 On your smash buys they charge a some bips.

But if you DCA and patiently withdraw, no fees. Just a small spread for their liquidity providers. :-) 
 Hey starting to think about possible wedding plans. If you’re married is there anything you wis... 
 Recently married here- I don’t have any wishes for any change, ours came out perfect. The secret was to listen to our gut, communicate, and be flexible overall. 

Biggest headaches- food, venue, guests, costs.

We went through a lot of iterations of what we wanted. Everyone is going to have different wants, and so communication with your fiance and prioritizing your collective wants will be important.

As we went through the process, we had to compromise based on various factors,  our highest priority demanded compromise on other priorities. So that lead us down the path, and we wound up going where we tried to minimize compromising on other priorities in light of that. 

So communicate your goals and priorities, walk the path in light of those priorities, and you’ll find your perfect wedding at the end of that pathway. :-) 
 No problem! It’s your special day I hope you enjoy it!


I’ll tell you one more thing though, holy shit it can be stressful. There are unlimited choices and options. It’s so fucking overwhelming. I don’t want to make assumptions about your perfect day, but for me- less was more. We didn’t need much of anything in the end, some family, a nice location, some decent clothes, some nice words to say, a good restaurant to enjoy some food after, and a nice place to spend the night together. 

Less was perfect and more was stressful.

 Wot relays are not the best solution, nor the only solution. Using topical relays and auth supporting relays is an equally valid solution. 

Relay management is the right strategy.

I haven’t seen a single reply guy message and I use none of your relays nor any web of trust relays. 
 Stop muting it won’t work they’re using new npubs, change your relays to better relays and you won’t see any, check out my relays for suggestions. 
 That’s why you use topical relays :-) my feed hasn’t seen a single reply guy post :-) 
 Yah I dunno why that’s happening either, Damus used to show relays on every profile now sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. My b.

 Agreed. Tell the client devs to fix their broken defaults!

 Shitcoiners getting rekt.

Someone paid 160k+ sats to consolidate 1000+ dust utxos into a 125k sat utxo.

Thank you for your sacrifice of sats to the miners and for consolidating the utxo set.

Next time don’t bloat it with your brc20 tokens in the first place and you wouldn’t have lost so many sats.

 they then go on to consolidate what looks like 42 of these giant txns into a single 6m+ sat utxo.

Thank you 🙏 

42k utxos down to one. 

Over a million sats wasted.

 Miscounted, think it was more like 60 of those txns were consolidated. And more like 2,5m sats were wasted on these shitcoin dust utxos.

Wrecked.

 Topical relays are the solution. 
 Agreed, I have to use my clients in an atypical manner to allow topical relays. But it’s an enormously better experience.

It should be a major priority.

 😂 maybe your bias is showing?

You called out a nostr client as not a nostr client, when you don’t even bother to use said client, because …bias? 
 Completely inappropriate. Evidence of the existence of a coordinated grooming operation. 
 The explanations they give will all be lies because they can’t tell you the truth. 

For those wondering, the truth is a cabal of powerful elites are sick in the mind and enjoy fucking young men and women who embody their fantasies and kinks. They are manufacturing these young men and women to embody their fantasies and kinks through a coordinated effort of mental manipulation and brain washing using media, “free speech” and government policy, as represented by the original post. 
 ReplyGuy is a test. Allow it to teach you something.  
 Maybe it will teach ostriches how to use relays…

 Dr. Jeff! We would happily join a chat about something you want to talk about! Hop on corny chat and make a room, just type in cornychat(dot)com/whateveryouwantyourroomnamed, set it up, and hang out for a bit and people will hop in and start chatting!

 My node sees hash …b3cfc5 as the most recent hash 
 Dave’s drunk. 
 Now that the next block has mined my node is reporting 859749 as ending in hash f01059. 

Seems foundry built on the other block. Mempool.space still reporting alternate block as 749. 
 Mempool.space never updated this block and still reports it as mined by Whitepool when Luxor mined the block included in the chain. 
 Im mistaken, and misread my chain tips block 859749 hash ends in …b3cfc5 and the whitepool block was built on and the Luxor block was abandoned

 Do you want to see your partner in the hospital if they’re sick or injured? 

Well guess what, you can’t. 

Didn’t even bother to read that part? 
 Lmao. 

What rights are you giving up? Your principles are worthless when the person you love is giving birth or dying and some hospital security kicks your ass out of their private property. 

That rare occurrence can be the most meaningful moment of someone’s life. 

You sound like the gutless cuck unwilling to inform a government their lifelong commitment to someone because “PaPeRwORk” 
 I guess you live on a raft in the ocean since you’re so free. 

Anarchistic libertarians are idiots.
