 It's pretty annoying when somebody is at your house and complains about your dog being on the furniture. I'm not holding you prisoner, you're welcome to leave it it bothers you. My dog sits on the couch, loveseat or wherever she decides looks comfortable. She also sleeps in bed with my wife and I at night. During the day she hangs out with my daughters (usually in their bedroom) and naps often in bed with one of them. I don't view my dog as a pet, she's a family member and this is her home too. 
 What is more than one category contains thing that won't to you? Are we just considered freaks? I want to be a freak. 
 Is there a messaging app based on NOSTR yet?  Something easy for your average person to use and understand. 
 Cayenne, olive oil & honey. Taste great on chicken or pork. It's also not bad drizzled over a salad. 
 3 arguably healthy ingredients as well. Also tastes better than any dressing you can pour out of a bottle. 
 Squeeze some lemon or lime into tastes pretty damn good too. 
 Spent $90 on some lotto tickets at work today and won $500. Pretty cool. Into the Bitcoin stash! 
 Really digging these leather NATO bands from Barton. 
 Need a recommendation that replaces Google drive and Google Docs. This is for a writer so it's al... 
 I ditched Google apps and services years ago went with Nextcloud. Used it to replace Drive, Docs, Notes, Photos, etc. Takes a few minutes to get everything set up but then you host your own data and are able to share it if you decide you want to that. 
 Does anybody else work for idiots or is it just me? The owner of the store I work at put her son in charge of things while she takes care of her sick husband. Within 2 years he basically bankrupted a 35+ year old business and caused 2 locations to close. Our direct deposit non longer works because "no companies know how to fix the system", so we have been being paid via paper check for 2 months now. I have an account with the same credit union the business uses and they initially put a 10 day hold on my paycheck until I caused a scene. We can't even punch in with our FOBs because it can't reach the server to log us in, so we are now writing our times on paper tonhand in each week. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone every time I go to work lately. 
 That's always technically possible. But I live above my job, so the convenience is keeping me around. I'm able to check on my dog, take her out to use the bathroom, etc. This is a list of things found on the "managers" desk that need to be brought in from the other location. It looks like it was written by a toddler. https://image.nostr.build/dfa3cb38b63f06e5bd987b42062ee0c8ac95a83b398b01e6fdec565d9b531709.jpg 
 for verizon customers…

consider silent.link (alone) or with hushed.com. 
 A privacy.com card and $5 Hello Mobile plan would make a decent secondary line. 
 My dog may have an intestinal blockage. This could potentially become expensive very quickly. Hoping my credit union is able to give me a loan, otherwise I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I swear, it's as if one thing his wrong everything else has to as well. 
 Today is one of those days I just have no motivation and just feel blah with zero desire to move out of bed. Maeve always seems to know and finds a way to be goofy and get me out of my funk a bit. I'm gonna be a sad man when this dog gets old and leaves me.

 Annndddddd, more work bullshit! Been being paid with paper checks for about 3 months now because "the payroll software stopped working" so direct deposit isn't currently possible. Tried to mobile deposit my paycheck today and was unable to because they switched the check supplier and it was "unverifiable" with my bank. So tomorrow morning I'm off to the credit union my employer uses and if they can not cash it, I may end up in a jail cell. Really losing my patience with this place. If it wasn't for the fact I live above my work place, I'd have already bounced the key off somebody's forehead and told them to pound sand. Glad I don't have bills to pay or anything. 
 Got Maeve a bigger Lamb Chop stuffy. She hasn't moved an inch in 3 hours now. https://image.nostr.build/1563a7c9d7287610148c0b34cdd939cec14c9d435dd3855c6cc568bd2fcc3b24.jpg 
 Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsvwct7ssehccgu040egxe4k8k9ru4wd605r2kfv9sf94gsu8pftcqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuu... 
 THIS. Super annoying. You can use the website if you toggle desktop mode. Seems to work for everything except the Bitcoin part.

 Can you? I recall checking and not being able to. Maybe I didn't and just convinced myself that I did. Thanks for sharing that tho. 
 You know what? I think I just visited and didn't try desktop mode. That worked perfectly. I've been snagging my wife's phone from her for months every time I've needed to log in. She'll be so happy. 😂 
 Hmmm, apparently Kucoin can now longer be used in the US. Dumb. 
 Some nights I just feel bummed out for no specific reason. Usually nobody notices but my dog ALWAYS knows. Crazy how laying and hanging out with Maeve can put me in a better state of mind. I don't understand how some people don't like dogs. 
 A childhood friend and his wife lost a lot 2 days ago when their building caught fire. Both of them and their animals survived. One cat was found on the bathroom floor unconscious but still alive after an hour and recovered. Of anybody wants to help, I can post some information or zap this post and they'll be given the earnings. I know they need to replace some things and I assume they've now got some vet bills that broke them even more. https://image.nostr.build/cf4eda29a0e3ce095078ca72363b691fb9769ded5990de356f7f8127084ba781.jpg 
 It's unfortunate bit could have been much worse. Items are replaceable, lives are not. I was amazed to hear that the cat survived. They were able to find and get the others out but couldn't find the one.

 It's ok tho, we'll probably see a class action lawsuit where anybody affected can get a payout of $10! 
 Any watch people here? I mostly wear Casio digitals but have been looking for some analog watches. Recently picked up a Praesidus Jungle Field which is 34mm and is the perfect size, IMO. Also got a Bertucci A-1S and wouldn't want to go bigger than it's 36mm size. Post some recommendations.
#watches 
 Pretend this post is a picture of some fat tits and send the lightning. 
 I don't watch the Olympics,

But a bunch of GAY SATANIC garbage just appeared on my desk.

I'm no... 
 retards 
 I'm so fucking sick of working for and with complete idiots. So, I've started drinking while at work. I must say, it's made it far less annoying. 
 I'm really getting tired of dealing with the bullshit at work. My wife has surgery in 2 days and I have been asking about using my available PTO to take a week away from work to help her out while she recovers. I either get no responses or end up listening to some stupid, unrelated bullshit. I don't give a flying fuck how much fun you had or what you did at camp. Literally feels like I've entered the twilight Zone the second I clock in. 
 Yes, thank you. My boss keeps putting an idiot on the schedule so I needed to edit it and remove him since he refuses to address the issue himself. I wanted my edits to match. 
 What search engine do you use?

 MOJEEK* with Brave as a fallback. 
 The reader/article view on browsers also fixes this issue on some sites. 
 Gotta love being pre-broke on payday before pay even reaches the account. Working just to be broke is retarded. 
 Somebody want to visit https://jawsh.xyz and tell me if the lightning button opens in their wallet app and results in a valid address? Comment here the amount and I'll zap it back. Please don't zap it somebody comments they have. 
 That's what I thought was going to happen. I have an alias/redirect (not sure if that's what you call it but I'm going with it) from my domain to an Alby wallet. Works for zaps here on NOSTR but for some reason doesn't seem to work using the address on a web link. Switched it back to the Alby domain. Refresh and try again? 
 What wallet are you using? 
 Why does everybody seem surprised about Bluesky being able to read the DM's of it's users? 
 Does anybody know of a way I can push all of my previous notes to a specific relay? 
 My thoughts as well. Was it worth it? Doubtful. 
 Test post. Please throw boltz. ⚡

 I love that South Park has ran for so long and has managed to remain hilarious. 
 If you ever feel like ordering out food but really don't want to spend the money, use Door Dash. Wait an hour after your food arrives and select that you didn't get the item on every single item ordered, write a complaint note on each. Get a full refund. I have done this twice a week for about 5 months. It seems you are able to get unlimited free food. Stick it to the man & big business. You're welcome. 
 I'm tired of working and having to put off certain bills just to kind of live. Half my weekly pay goes just to food. I get to spend my weekend off looking for more work so I can pay $400 on the electricity bill I have had to put off the last few months so that I was able to pay rent. And my oldest daughter is taking drivers ed, so I'll also need to grow enough to find her a cheap yet safe vehicle to drive soon. Sometimes I wish that I was able to go back in time and make some better life choices when I was younger. Lately I've found myself sitting up late and dreading waking up to live another day of stress. Eventually these rough patches pass tho, so onward I go.  
 I thought those "smart wallets" with the card ejectors was a bit gimmicky but I must say, I was mistaken. I hardly ever carry cash and it's super compact if you mostly carry cards. Plus, I now have something else in my pocket that I am able to fidget with in public, without getting weird looks. I call that a win. 
 Apparently one of my unused Benchmade folders is sought after and worth a decent amount of money. Lots of people selling this particular knife for around $400. Mine has sat in a drawer and has never even cut anything. Kinda wishing I had the packaging still but I ended up taking it out and removing the clip to replace a broken clip on the one the knife I carried at the time. 
 The testicle holding pouch on these boxer briefs is not a gimmick like I expected. These All Citizens underwear are stupid comfortable, I haven't needed to peel my sack off from my legs all day. Grippy nubs hold them onto your thighs so they don't bunch of ride up. This is not an advertisement, just me notifying random people about how comfortable my junk was today. 
 Feed the beast.

 I kinda dig that Open Farm pet food allows you to trace all of the ingredients they use right back to the farms they came from. It's smaller kibble as well, so Maeve isn't able to eat it as quickly and is forced to pace herself. 1 cup of the Pasture-Raised Lamb kibble and a handful of the freeze-dried raw lamb crumbled on top seems to be a hit. She has wheat as well as poultry allergies, so finding food she likes can be a bit of a headache. 
 Me: “Do you want to watch Shōgun?”

Wife: “No. I’m afraid it’s going to make you want ... 
 Such a good show. And nobody would blame you for that choice. 
 Aughhhh, dicing hot peppers and itched my eyes. Feels wonderful. 
 I can now. It was only in one eye but that's still one eye to many. 
 A perverted invoice.

 I've got a Pixel 8 running Graphene and haven't cleaned my cache in about 5 months. Although, I haven't been spending a lot of time on nostr either. Amethyst was unusable on my RealmeXT and my Poco X3 NFC. 
 Off to the DMV on Thursday to get an updated ID so I can prove my identify to the IRS and get my tax refund. Funny, they didn't want ID all year while taking my money from me.
#bitcoin hasn't asked me for identification. 
 I work for complete idiots. If it wasn't so convenient, I'd express to them exactly how fucking stupid I and all my coworkers think they are. 
 I kinda like how Open Farms pet food packaging allows you to trace all of their ingredients. I might order a 4# bag for Queen Maeve to try. She's currently eating Acana Limited Lamb recipe but it's got darker and the smell has changed since being sold. 
 Well then, The Iron Bank will have it's dues!

 Thin crispy crust is how pizza should be. If you disagree, you're wrong. 
 So are those 3 clients using censorship and algorithms? 
 Thinking about dropping my VPS and using an old MacBook a1181 as a little home server. That might make running email a pain but I find myself using my Tutanota address more often anyways. I'll have to do a little testing first to see how things work. 
 I actually never got around to doing it myself. I have been thinking about picking up a Raspberry Pi or similar to use as a little home server instead. But, I haven't got around to that either.
