This calendar IS the piece of art! WOW !!!


I don’t even know who the chipotle leak guy is, that’s how uncool I am around here folks. No kiddin.


Eugene said to me when I first met him and asked what’s the “best watch” and he said “the one you’re wearing”.  💯


pay no attention to the man behind the curtain


I will definitely be updating #watchstr  as soon as they are available, should be next year!


I was seriously thinking this as I started to read that

Somehow people refuse to see that coming


I don’t actually work on watches actively anymore, sorry - I worked at a watch shop a couple years ago and built watches there.
I did design this watch, but just the exterior. It has a MD7081 movement in it, my old boss designed the movement, but it’s still in production. This is just a final proof before the order was placed by my old boss.
THE WATCH:
titanium case, 41mm, sapphire crystal, with custom titanium  bracelet links
20mm lugs so it’s easily swapped out for a NATO strap from BluSharkStraps or Panatime.
4 bezel/dial variations: blue, orange, textured bezel/carbon fiber dial and totally luminescent.
it will be around $500 and you’ll be able to buy it from Maryland Watch Works in Hagerstown, MD.
If ANYTHING happens with the watch you can send it back and Eugene Stohlman will fix it himself.
Since it will be sold through MWW, I don’t know what kind of warranty will be offered, but I’m sure it will be   really decent. Regardless he is very reasonable price wise since he’s a one-stop shop for ANYTHING  watch related.
I will definitely keep you updated as soon as it’s available, should be next year.

It’s how you spit roast a nice chunk of meat


WOW. Let me tell you.
After not having anything except water, coffee, tea and that wretched  “prep” fluid since yesterday morning I was HUNGRY.

There is something in the brain that absolutely HAS to chew food in order to have it count.

After my Dr visit, I went straight home and devoured a burger in less time than it takes me to say a complete sentence.

Now I feel like a million bucks.

Which is saying something considering I just had one extraordinarily long tube up my bum and another down my throat.


I do accept fiat if that would work for you. I’ll  DM you


Or they might make them even smaller, to be carbon neutral, of course

GM!


Sewing made the day go by a little easier yesterday so I made a smaller version of a penroll with no attached cord to. This one is meant to sit on a desk as opposed to being carried and could work well for holding special pens / pencils / brushes.
I am available to make these to-order and I accept sats. DM me to get started.

I remember when I carried around my dad’s 35mm camera, it was a lot different to search and choose a photo, set up the camera and take the picture, but pressing the button was the  final step.
This was before Photoshop, so once the picture was taken, it was permanently recorded on film.
 Now everyone can take thousands of amazing quality pictures at any time, but there is a sort of reverence for the media itself that is  lost if everyone can do it. You really know how to take a great picture. Glad to help you toward your goal.

All are in 4/4 time

All follow this pattern:

Chorus (4 lines)

Bridge (featuring 2 lines of solo)

That doesn’t take an AI to figure out, you just think of a figure of speech involving liquor and losing love. Then listen to country radio for 1 hour and copy what you hear.

Id pass based on the movement of the watch. And because I can make the holder.
Cheaper watches:
You can get several watches with Seiko NH35 movements for a couple hundred bucks.
Deep Blue makes FANTASTIC dive watches for a few hundred and they have sapphire crystals and all have either Seiko or Miyota movements

https://www.deepbluewatches.com

If you wanted a dressier watch you could give LeSablier Watches a look too. I saw these at a watch show recently and they are really amazing in person. The fit and finish is unbelievable!!

https://www.lesablierwatches.com/product-page/sport-classic

Get a NATO band from BluShark Straps that is as soft as a seatbelt

https://www.blusharkstraps.com

Or any kind of band from silicone to real ostrich from Panatime

https://panatime.com

And get me to make you a custom lined, padded cotton canvas watch holder.
I make them to order and post them on #watchroll #penroll here. I take sats.

Advice for life 101


It depends on the client you're using and the method you're using to communicate. Confusing... I know. If you're using Snort, Amethyst, Nostrudel, Coracle to 0xChat then your DMs and their metadata are private. If you're using Primal, Damus and others, then the DMs are private but the metadata is leaked. There's a new standard being worked on now by nostr:nprofile1qqspwwwexlwgcrrnwz4zwkze8rq3ncjug8mvgsd96dxx6wzs8ccndmcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0qyd8wumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7l352lu and the hope is that everyone upgrades to it when he's done.


It’s just this type of informed, honest discourse that makes Nostr a great place to be.

Come here to get away from the whiners.

I’ll never visit there but I’m so happy to see that some folks are able to!


Definitely  it’s funny how some words are in style at a particular time, like when Collusion was everywhere awhile ago, it was used over 30 times in House of Cards


Didn’t find the word compute in that wiki


Nice! I’ll check it out


Provided there’s a translation if it’s in Dutch


I’d love to read that, whatever it is - I enjoy etymological stuff like this


That’s what’s great about here, I don’t feel like the oddball because I don’t know a random thing , I’d have been filleted on X for not knowing the latest slang term for instance


That’s wild. I thought the first “computers” were people in a room writing stuff on paper but I didn’t know something could have “compute” or do “compute” or whatever


Lots of nouns are verbs now

Like “adulting” for instance


Honestly? I didn’t know that. Wow


Wow! I never really gave that much more than a passing thought.


This is an honest question and I have a feeling someone will give me  a solid answer.

When did the word “compute” switch from a verb
 (ex: the brain computes sensory information)
 to a noun (ex: this new chip has much greater compute)?

I'm back again with another review!

This time, it's a set of penrolls that I has made by nostr:nprofile1qqs07xqktt77qzzj6jdyuyckexqu0tcpvnqczrqtcrlyr5mpm4720uqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9qyvhwumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakshy532m .
https://i.nostr.build/JIlHdL9DZn7WtT3A.jpg
Now I'm new enough to fountain pens that I have a fairly small collection so I have little need for huge storage solutions just yet and it's with that in mind that I started thinking about how I was going to store and transport some of these pens on a smaller scale to start out.
https://i.nostr.build/xp7oMBbdc6mTKX2Q.jpg
I first solution I got was a set of leather pen slips. Several single pen slips and one two-pen slip. These are great and I've still got them, but they're really more for everyday carry versus long term or even medium term storage. Typically I'll carry my Lamy Aion or Monteverde Innova in those as a daily carry pen but I'm not keeping them in the slips when I don't have them with me.

This is where nostr:nprofile1qqs07xqktt77qzzj6jdyuyckexqu0tcpvnqczrqtcrlyr5mpm4720uqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9qyvhwumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakshy532m comes in. I don't remember exactly how we connected but he mentioned to me at one point that he made watch and penrolls which intrigued me as my pen collection had grown enough to justify a larger storage solution so I inquired further. After some discussion and agreement on the colours blue and red as well as size, the first penroll was made, shipped, received and perfect.
https://i.nostr.build/fvmrj2esrLunjsL1.jpg
Obviously I needed some more, so I asked nostr:nprofile1qqs07xqktt77qzzj6jdyuyckexqu0tcpvnqczrqtcrlyr5mpm4720uqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9qyvhwumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakshy532m if we could go smaller, different colors and an additional feature. I asked him if we could get a slim plastic strip inside the outer lip of the pockets. Some of my pens have very stiff clips and I felt this would help stop the clips pulling on the material so badly which it in fact, did. Besides that, I had him make it in a green and purple, two colours which I enjoy.

Thus was born this beauty!

https://i.nostr.build/KkgSIOFZw34X5fbe.jpg
I love this penroll as it works perfectly for my job. It doesn't carry as many pens as the first, but it carries enough that I can have some selection when I'm at work and have some time to work on my writing.
https://i.nostr.build/OtWHzsqvw9ekEn75.jpg

Finally, I wanted one for a special purpose and so this last roll was born.
https://i.nostr.build/NDPiyRrouums65cI.jpg
The third penroll was created specifically with my three MaJohn Q1's in mind. Since they are an odd shape and extra wide. I wanted a roll specifically for them and nostr:nprofile1qqs07xqktt77qzzj6jdyuyckexqu0tcpvnqczrqtcrlyr5mpm4720uqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9qyvhwumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakshy532m made me one out of duck canvas and it turned out amazing! It's the perfect size for all three pens!
https://i.nostr.build/PGHXD8ge8kprARlx.jpg
Overall the experience working with nostr:nprofile1qqs07xqktt77qzzj6jdyuyckexqu0tcpvnqczrqtcrlyr5mpm4720uqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9qyvhwumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakshy532m is excellent. He's very responsive, listens to your ideas and is willing to work with you so that you get exactly what you're looking for! I would highly recommend anyone looking for pen storage they can travel with or everyday carry go to nostr:nprofile1qqs07xqktt77qzzj6jdyuyckexqu0tcpvnqczrqtcrlyr5mpm4720uqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9qyvhwumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakshy532m. Besides him going out of his way to produce good quality work, his prices are reasonable (almost too good) and he's very prompt with shipping. It should go without saying but he accepts BTC through the lightning network.
https://i.nostr.build/tWbvJQxA3KAiuIBW.jpg
I love my three pen rolls. They all serve individual purposes in my pen collection and are purpose built for that. I'm sure at some point I'll want another one or need one as a gift for someone else and when that day comes I'll be asking nostr:nprofile1qqs07xqktt77qzzj6jdyuyckexqu0tcpvnqczrqtcrlyr5mpm4720uqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9qyvhwumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakshy532m.

Fantastic! I’ll be looking forward to the review.


Thanks! I needed a way to secure everything to my person because of my memory problem - I constantly place things down and forget about them so I had to come up with a cheap solution instead of buying something ready-made.
Plus I hate the sound of keys clinking around in my pocket (since I have a lot of keys and they all go to important things) and I realized I could thread some paracord through them. I honestly don’t know anyone else who’s tried that, but I recommend it.


GM!


I’ve grown up painting watercolors and I’ve never done that. It looks very calming, but also very precise.


Thanks for the inspiration to empty my pockets and see what I actually have with me on the daily.
Here’s my #EDC for the day.
Ridge  wallet card with fiat clip. I need something to attach anything I carry so I don’t lose it so I attached some 550 Paracord to the fiat clip and a Nite Ize double gate S-biner to attach it to a belt loop.
Pentel EnerGel pen. Reasonably durable, and I have a few .7mm and 1.0mm with various metal barrels. I usually end up carrying a cheaper plastic one so I don’t feel too bad if I misplace it. The refills are REALLY cheap and they write unbelievably smoothly.
A small, lightweight notebook. I’ve got several larger and fancier notebooks, but with the amount of random ideas I jot down, it’s nice to get packs of 3  notebooks and put them all over the place so I always have one handy.
Haiku business card holder. Made of recycled soda bottles or something, but  it holds a decent amount of business cards and has an excellent texture, plus it’s stood up to being put through the laundry several times and is in great shape.
My keys/prescription bottle, attached with a single piece of 550 Paracord instead of a keyring to minimize the jingling of keys in the pocket. I’ve attached a titanium carabiner between the keys and my prescription bottle so they are always handy in my pocket but safe from being lost because they clip to my right belt loop.

Hey Nostr. A couple of months ago I started making soap for p2p value for value. Today I am launching my e-commerce platform: Whitepaper Street Soap Company.

Right now I am making small batches, with more products on the way. So far the soap has gotten good feedback from my local meet up group participants who have used the soap. Check it out!

That’s what I call a “before” photo.
Looks like that guy was caught trying to steal toilet paper and this is his mugshot.
The “after” photo would have a warm filter, it would be taken outdoors instead of inside an off-white room, and this guy would look like he’d hit the gym for a few years, as well as having a perfect tan and a set of brilliant white, perfectly straight teeth. He would also be leaning against a new luxury sports car, smiling from ear to ear, and probably accompanied by several bikini-clad women.

There is a much higher percentage of various sorts of talent on Nostr than on any other social arena.
Think about how many people on Nostr can build computers, repair vehicles, build houses, grow and raise their own food, communicate and exchange bitcoin without an Internet connection. I bet you probably know a couple.


Thank you , that really means a lot!


Someday I hope to be able to afford to buy one of your paintings. Your work is incredible.

I’m in too!


I’m glad I’ve inspired a bit of levity into this evening on nostr.
If I was a writer, I would suggest a concept for a Nostr activity: a sort of cooperative writing project wherein one has 24 hours to write a few sentences then pass it along to the next, but just agree on a setting/theme and write a story.


Always enjoy seeing where people actually make things.

Y’know, yarnlady, I think it just  might. But I didn’t think to pack a meme when I got in that taxi.

But we ain’t gonna know for sure til a few years from now happens.

*saxophone music gets louder as camera pans to the television screen and a montage of overlapping news and pharmaceutical adverts play*


Looks fantastic!


Nothin’ beats a nice side effects list. Now…….
Imagine those side effects as the prologue in a film noir detective movie.
Instead of the usual uplifting background music, a jazzy saxophone and trumpet duo plays as the side effects are read slowly and deliberately, rain falling steadily on the city as the main character stands outside the nightclub, waiting ….


Agree.
I would have loved to have had one of these full size as a daily driver back in the day.


I had a collection of audio recordings on an old phone of just the side effects listed on prescription commercials - it’s hilarious how they’re read at 2x speed as the background music is at normal speed!
 If they were read at normal speed, it would be 30+ seconds of side effects.


If any Hot Wheels nerds want to know: It was still in its package when I found it. Didn’t take it out til I got home.


Rescued a ‘69 Dodge Coronet Super Bee from a trashed house when I helped clean it out.
No one knows where the owner went, so I added it to my Hot Wheels stack.

Amazon is a good way to get some things for a good deal but it’s a bit sketchy with other items, esp electronics - since you’re sometimes getting the bargain bin version of whatever you’re ordering and returning things to Amazon is like asking to talk to the president of Walmart


Had a bite to eat at Baile Cask & Kettle today in Hagerstown, MD.
It’s been open for one week and it’s beautiful inside!
Talked with the bartender & owner, they said they’d love to have a Nostr meetup there and that the place holds 200.

Plenty of room for a Nostr meetup!

Several parking garages nearby, a beautiful city park  and Washington County Museum of Fine Arts a couple blocks down the street.

Based on the success of Nostr Valley, I’d say we should do it again here in Hagerstown, MD!

I don’t have a date in mind, but I figured it would easily work for a meetup.

It’s open til 10 weekdays and they’ll stay open til midnight on Friday & Saturday if they get a decent crowd.

They’ve got several great beers on tap and the bartender is also the brewmaster.

The back half of the establishment is the bar area and we wouldn’t even need to pay to reserve it.

There are plenty of hotels and inexpensive airbnbs around the area too.

I don’t know the first things about organizing something like this but I couldn’t help but  think of how easy it would be to do another Nostr Valley at this place. Plus I got to start explaining Nostr to the owner, who was intrigued, she’s actually the mother of the bartender. Really decent folks.


Also btw  that mural is AMAZING!


Welcome Erica! Glad to see new folks here!!

You’ll find lots of great art gets posted to #artstr so be sure to follow that hashtag.

I do some sewing and post my sewing projects to the #penroll  hashtag, I also do some drawing as well, posted to #drawing and #petportrait

When you’re working on a project, post progress pictures to show proof of work! There’s a great art community here on Nostr.

If you ever have tech questions, type your question and add #asknostr  and you’ll get some answers very quickly since nostr operates as its own service department.

Enjoy your time here!

Yeah that’s what’s weird about it, there’s so much available now and it’s growing with no end point to reach.
Honestly i think it’s that so many functions of nostr are available to the general public, like zap.cooking or wavlake for instance, where there’s no Step 2 where you have to buy into something like a membership or a registration.
You can just tell people to check those out and then say “and here’s nostr, it’s the common ‘language’ they all use” , but like zap.cooking and wavlake and whatnot, they all perform cool functions that people are familiar with and they have regular URLs and no mysterious software, and here’s how you get a free key to all of them. People don’t have to even change their comfort level to appreciate Free and Simple.

I don’t know if I’ve ever , EVER seen a bag of decaf coffee on Nostr! Good on ya!


I will say though, buying some inexpensive used journals has helped me just have scrap paper readily available to noodle around in helps


Thank you!!! I need to develop that ability myself!  I have trouble just putting down the pencil or pen and taking a break for a minute once I get started each day, that’s my issue..


I think the same type of  A vs B happens in a lot of areas - people’s insistence on the “right  way to hold a pencil” when drawing always irked me. I can draw. I don’t need to hold a pencil like a q-tip to do it.

Busy day at the soup kitchen, one lady was so wasted she couldn’t stand up straight or sit still to eat.

There’s so much to learn here and it’s unexpectedly easy to get to it.
Be sure to watch some of those intro videos just to get a feel for the way Nostr is used since there is so much available to you now for free.
Just be patient and if you have a question just post it with
#asknostr  at the end of the post and people will respond quickly . You’re gonna love it here.


Nostr is so rad.

Try going into a random party and just saying “Hi I’m new” and getting a bunch of ACTUAL people welcoming  you and giving How To’s and Tips & Tricks and “If You Need Help Hit Us Up” right off the bat.

-> If you need help,  just type your question in a new post, then add the hashtag  #asknostr and post it, wait a few minutes and several people will reply, since a significant portion of folks on Nostr is extremely  technically proficient. This is profoundly helpful since I am  not.

Anyway, you’ll love it here, it’s like going to a nice restaurant and sitting down to a decent meal after eating hospital food for several years. nostr:note18jdpk6njs7mn65czwadu573cwpq5hps2drm4cg0jn8x82288xt5qe4e04h

Amethyst and Coracle do a great job exposing relays with better relay management tools than most clients, but we can do better.

Websites such as nostr.watch and nostrrr.com are great and informative, but they're not built into clients, so we can do better.

The more user tools that are available, the more users Nostr can support.

Yes! I started making roll-up holders for pens and pencils, then started sewing holders for watches as well.
I have all sorts of fabric for lining,   but the cotton canvas exterior I thought would be great to hold a Coldcard or similar wallet for transporting it.
It has a piece of black 550 paracord for wrapping around to secure it.

It’s not waterproof but it looks pretty sweet as a book holder. I made a black canvas holder for my Bible and it looks great.
Here’s the hashtags I used for other ones so you can see how it’s all developed organically here. That’s what’s so wild about nostr.

Agreed. It was so nice to meet the folks this weekend. It’s still possible to have a meetup in a restaurant and it not be hundreds of people. One day that’s gonna happen though and it’ll be cool to be able to say “y’know, when I was your age” about something this big.

I’ve heard that as well, but there are many different types of epilepsy, not all respond to preventative thc/cbd treatment in that way.
Similarly, the ketogenic diet doesn’t work for everyone with epilepsy. Some, not all.
The main benefit, speaking only for myself, is that it helps with the intense feeling of nausea that accompanies the muscle pain after a big seizure.


Good catch!
You’re a pro if your word choice can be as precise as the writings of yore.

Definitely agree. The interesting thing is that Nostr has a lot of creativity in a wide variety of fields.

Some folks are good at solving practical problems in new ways,  some design and build ways to produce food, and some make artwork of various types.

 We’re not just a bunch of people taking selfies in front of their our  cars. I think that’s why nostr naturally attracts the types of people that are here and not the people whose only skill is taking pictures of themselves.

Just scrolled back up through this thread and caught up. Sorry I’m trying to multitask here before bed. I’ll be looking forward to it !


Sounds solid to me. I’ll let you know if anything comes up but this should be fun. What will we be talking about ?


Thanks! It’s good to see more folks here on #artstr .
That was a subject at Nostr Valley, how to get eyes on your stuff if you’re an artist and how by just adding  #artstr to a post it’s a guarantee that a lot of people are guaranteed to see it.


Schedule-wise, Tuesday sounds good for me. How about sometime Tuesday afternoon?


What do I do for audio? I just have my phone and tablet - is that cool?

Ok, let’s talk some more about it. I’m gonna be pretty busy until Monday so I might not be able to really get working on it till then.


I would love to!!
I’d like to chat more about it soon, but  it might take a little while, would you be able to be flexible with your deadline?


Badass!! Do you sell them on Nostr somehow? I’m looking for recommendations for places to sell my random stuff like those pen rolls I’ve been making, but…
I’ve been making these basic paracord bracelets for a friend for awhile and just selling them randomly, here’s mine  - people still seem to like these things even though their trendiness has worn off, which is exactly why I like them.

It was awesome just chatting with you, and I’m looking forward to my turn to be on the podcast! What an unexpectedly cool time this weekend was!


You too! Everybody there was important since Nostr is just in its earliest stage - can’t imagine what this is gonna be like in 5 years. We’re gonna have to reserve a table for several hundred.


Humans themselves wrestle with that very question with the skill of of an unarmed combatant in a bat’leth battle.


Back home from #Nostrvalley . Flew in an aircraft for the first time to get there.

Got to talk to folks who were not just an audience but who are also all contributing to the game-changer that is Nostr.

Got to stay in a fantastic house and eat some five-star food every day.

The most profound thing is that  everybody there was at the event    is already on Nostr so it’s perfectly easy to stay in touch after we all parted ways.

Nobody needs to exchange phone numbers or email addresses or figure out which random social media app they might or might not appear on at any given point.

Really thankful to have met all you guys and gals in person. I felt appreciated at this event in a profound way.

 I’ve felt like I’ve made some genuine friends.

We gotta do this again sometime.

I was curious if you or any users of npub.pro have any thoughts on setting up a page for selling an item? Would love to have a listing for my yo-yo if possible 😊 would it require self hosting on GitHub?

Ordered a titanium coffee / soup mug. Yes I’m one of those people that eats breakfast with a titanium spork. Titanium is:

✅ awesome
✅ lightweight
✅ rust-proof
✅ nonstick
✅ strong
✅ great
✅ food-safe
✅ used in medical implants
✅ a cool color

Yeah! I’ve sold some things on here to real folks who have been happy with their orders!
Didn’t really have any preconceived idea of an audience but it’s worked out!
Also I’m working on a collaboration project with another artist I met on Nostr!


It’s growing very organically, which is reassuring since most of the rest of life is moving along a very carefully programmed path straight down the toilet.

I’m really glad to see fellow artists on here. When I first started checking out  Nostr I felt like there should be a much more robust art community than there was but it’s really taking off.

There’s actual encouragement from real people here with words and zaps, instead of just Click To Like, which means nothing more than “I saw a thumbnail of your picture and didn’t hate it”


I'm glad we have nostr

I quit smoking cigarettes in 2020.

Also in 2020, I deleted all my social media accounts.

Now I am able to hold my breath, enter a port-a-potty, do my business and leave, then exhale.

I understand that these two things aren’t actually related, but I thought of it today after I left the port-a-potty.

 I will never pick up a cigarette ever again because I can’t stand breathing in the smell of stale crap that’s been baking in an enclosed space just big enough to stand in. I really love the fact that my lungs work as they should.

Alright folks, put on your five-point harness and get ready for this.

I did 50 pushups today

I may not have perfect form and I can’t do one handed pushups or even 100 but I am so stoked that I got this many done.

Thank you guys and gals for your encouragement yesterday. It really helped.

I’m gonna count this as my Day 2.

My epilepsy was the result of a car crash.
I was at fault in the car crash.
It’s interesting to be able to point to an exact “jackpot” event.
So many people grind away at their memories trying to find a point of divergence where they could say “ah, if only that one thing hadn’t happened, everything would be fine.”
But even being able to identify an exact event doesn’t mean you can change it or that it’s ok to walk around with a chip on your shoulder.
Wake up early, breathe the air outside and be thankful.

Nostr has:

no popularity contest

no influencer overlords

What Happens Here:

 people do stuff, then they talk about it or just put up photos of what they accomplished or what they’re working on.

Lots of memes, much fewer video shorts or selfie videos of people complaining. Nobody wants to hear that crap anyway.

One thing there is a lot of here is a whole lot of practically smart people in a lot of different walks of life. If you want help with something, just write out your question and then put

 #asknostr

after it and lots of people check it out and you should get an answer quick. There is no Customer Service number or email, just everybody here working on stuff.

It’s a very tightly knit but welcoming community at the same time. We have in-person meet-ups too, unlike twitter where you may meet someone and they have a twitter account but that’s like finding out someone else drives a ‘22 Civic.

That said, it’s a big deal when you meet someone and they also use Nostr and a bigger deal when someone is introduced to nostr and comes aboard.

Hit me up if you need help finding stuff and I can recommend cool stuff that you now have access to.

The same thing in drawing. There’s “the right way” to hold a pencil when drawing, and another for writing text.

A lot of Yt drawing tutorials now even drill this into the viewer that if you want to draw well, you’ll always hold your pencil properly.

I just can’t draw precisely if I’m holding a pencil like a tiny twig.

Yeah, just minted in 1943 to save copper for ammunition. I found one while making change for a customer a couple years ago and explained it to him and you would have thought I was interpreting a Sanskrit poem. He was floored when I said it wasn’t worth more than a couple cents.


My dad gave me one as a little kid. Steel pennies are a neat find too - not really worth a whole lot, but it’s wild to run across one. No one even knows they existed for one year way back when copper was used for bullets.
