 Love it! Thanks for sharing, I had no idea this existed until now 
 He is a great talker on the topic- I'm glad Jack is on team Bitcoin. His podcast Money Matters is good too 
 The cartoon film version is seared into my childhood memories. Just reading this is unlocking a blocked memory. They don't make kids films like they used to eh?

 Gm #nostr 💜🫂 it’s my birthday today🎂 woo yay me 🚀 
 happy birthday! 
 I watched Alien Romulus with my sci-fi film buddy at the cinema last night. I remember watching Aliens with him at a sleep over when we were waaay too young  (I had nightmares for weeks afterwards haha).
This latest film felt like a good mix of horror/ claustrophobia of Alien with the adrenaline overload of Aliens. If you liked these two films then go check out Alien Romulus

 great show, thanks! I really enjoyed the Nostr Nudging. I hope he comes over to the Nostr Way 
 I've used Morrisons Fuel Card quite a bit (the only one voucher I found that was valid for fuel in the UK). also have used Asda, Amazon,Tesco's vouchers regularly. all on bitrefill from the UK 
 thanks for WBD- looking forward to listening to the new pod. I'm sure you'll smash it!!!

 Mindfulness meditation - I just tried a new (to me) technique that came to mind whilst box breathing today.

Regular box breathing is
1. Breathing in for the count of 4
2. Hold for the count of 4
3. Breathing out for the count of 4
4. Hold for the count of 4
(I listen to an analogue tick tock clock for rhythm)

It occurred to me whilst doing this what if we extend the number count. I then continued with 8 then 12 for two rounds each. I did feel the urge to gulp air on 12 count come up so I didn't want to extend further this time.

If we did box breathing to the count of 15 (seconds) sections then we would have a 1-breath-per-minute technique. I wouldn't recommend going straight into this so I will look at developing a protocol and seeing how it feels.

Box breathing has been my go-to mindfulness technique- give it a go!

 I'm really enjoying Scavenger's Reign, an animated sci-fi series on Netflix. Psychedelic visuals, unique alien plant/animals, gripping plot. Go check it out if that's your kind of thing.

 5 hours remaining for my first ever 3-day-fast. Here is my fluffy friend giving some moral support.
I've only done an 18hour fast before so this has been quite a step up.

First 24 hours I had to work to avoid snacks.
Second 24 hours I didn't feel hungry, had good focus.
Third 19 hours to now, I'm starting to feel a bit weaker but no hunger.

On the whole not as bad an experience as I thought :-)

 Has anyone compared Casa and Unchained collaborative multisig? #asknostr 
 Casa here, I really like it. no kyc. Different plans for different stacks. You can ignore the ETH options by default and live a happy BTC-only life. Lopp is a legend of multisig

 Is the most intelligent use of the human brain single-threaded or multi-threaded? 
 What if we have a conscious thread and a sub-concious thread. I find coding solutions come to me when not thinking about them 
 100% + be kind as we can't know the struggles of others

 Sci-fi - called Fall of Hyperion. Follow up to Hyperion- good stuff if you're into science fiction/horror.
