 Two things in my life would be different if I didn't find nostr:

1. I wouldn't have made wonderful (internet) friends.

2. I wouldn't have a sophisticated palate for high quality memes.

 @noStrudel give me back my keyboard short cuts you thief. 
 Noooooooooo!!!!!

 @Noshole why wasn't I notified of these soup discoveries?!  
 False!!! I don't ignore you! I've been busy 👀

 you'd know me well enough that it doesn't work on me 😊 Cuz I don't know how to play video games!

Looking forward to reading "The Gold Bug" (1843), a search for pirate treasure, next week 😊 #EdgarAllanPoe #companionscorner

Join us next week for some more spooky, or interesting stories 😊

We are considering reading Gold-Bug next, since there's some cryptography references.

 That feeling you get when you're not on your workstation for awhile, open up a terminal, and update your machine 😊 #Linux 
 So true. Everything that needs updating and gets updated. Doesn't need to reboot typically, sometimes some services do but that doesn't remove you from the controls. It's a beautiful system. 
 Bitcoin is weird. Lean into to it.  
 #TIL That the nth value of the Fibonacci sequence can be calculated in constant time. This is called "Binet's formula", named after Jacques Philippe Marie Binet, though it was already known by Abraham de Moivre and Daniel Bernoulli

 Me neither but it's super cooooool

 #TIL Edgar Allan Poe was interested in cryptography 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Allan_Poe#Cryptography 
 Quite bonkers indeed. 
 There's a theory that he wasn't and someone pretended. But Gold-Bug (the book) suggested that he was into codes and ciphers 
 Derp. Might have overdone it with the edibles. Kitchen shift is going to be interesting. 
 Apparently smoking CBD helps cut it back a little. No promises, but worth the experiment

 I concur. This is excellent

 Right but isn't that making a request to where that Bitkey key? So if their server goes down that you can send as much as like? Would it prevent funds from being sent?
