This says it all. I posted a note, the moderator disagreed with my statement and blocked me from posting more notes!

This is the second time it happened to me on r/indiana

 If you're interested in figuring out which  no to low-tech car is best to purchase?

Go for a dri... 
 92 mazda Mx-3 runs like a champ.
Well needs some cosmetic work…. 
But car is solid and still looks good.
And is pre electronic ignition.

In the background is the 2003 Camry a close runner up

BUT TO TAKE THE CAKE:
I once and a 1976 240 diesel Benz 450,000 miles and the car only needed an engine overhaul. With a Mechanical fuel pump and no electronics needed I once drove from Los Alamos NM to St. Louis MO with no battery and no working alternator, confidently across a desert.

Another great one is any pre 2008 ML 350 is the best engine ever made.  Just a solid car and 4-matic.

 Brandon was a more left candidate than Lori and they couldn’t stand her because of incompetence and left policies.  She was the worst Mayer #Chicago had since Jane Byrne, who got fired because she couldn’t successfully plow some snow off the streets.

Now they all say openly how bad Rahm was.  They loved him at the time.

Left eat Left.   

Nationally look Gabard / Kennedy / Nicole and many others are warning about how the left is ruthless to their own people.

TRUMP and MUSK were dems for years, and now realize the old party is gone…

 Not only will prices fall,  sudden realization inflation is a tax.  Capital gains paid because of a weakening dollar.

 Zero chance of that.  El Salvador is a Latin American Singapore.

But both countries are wealthy and safe for most.

 Will you survive when they shut everything down?  Will you?  
 My theory is that it’s just to improve our health.  The world could use a good 40 day famine.  Lower our blood pressure, reduce cancer, reduce Alzheimer’s. 

Our current lifestyle are killing us.

Actually 80 days might be better.

Nip05 is not good because I am keeping my untrusted bitcoinstr.us so I would get shut out.

POW is bad as it will end up taking 30KJ to send a note.

I like the zap to reply note type.

 It is both interesting and important.

The interesting part, how to keep the legacy banking system alive when faced with hard money like #BTC.

Important part,  keep legacy Sr bankers and partners at places like GS wealthy in fiat.

What these jr bankers don’t realize is no one will remember or care 20 years from now.

 Maybe proof of work/vanity npubs could be a better solution to spam than PoW notes

PoW notes can... 
 May work, but that was possibly where Satoshi got his original idea for Bitcoin from. Based on previous work, use the idea of POW to eliminate spam email.  It never caught on for spam email. Nor would it because the global warming people would calculate 20KJ to send an email was destroying the planet.

I like the zap to reply type nip needs this.  All my notes would be like that and I am ok with reply guy paying 21 sats for each reply.

 Albert Einstein, renowned physicist, and thinker, famously referred to compounding interest as the “8th Wonder of the World.” He believed that understanding compound interest was crucial for building wealth, as it can either earn or cost individuals money, depending on their financial decisions.  - from BRAVE AI

 There has been a lot of subtle pressure from MSM to go 50 basis points.

 Franklin Roosevelt Banned the personal ownership of gold.  It was illegal to own gold from 1933 until about 1972.  This was done by executive order.  1 person made that edict enforceable.

Kamala can do a lot of damage via RULES from SEC, OFAC (office of foreign asset control), CFTC,  IRS, and treasury (treasury oversees all of those). Gary Gensler is next in line to take Janet Yellen’s job.

My concern is most bitcoiners don’t understand how bad it could get.

 It is very important to remember that Harry Reid a Democrat from Nevada was the Senate majority leader that removed the filibuster and when he removed the filibuster for judicial appointments, Mitch McConnell said be careful what you wish for because when the filibuster is gone and we get in power we can do what we want. That’s the only reason that we have, a majority of conservatives on the court, so Harry Reid is to blame this guy being the idiot that he is one day: Everything will one day switch back Republican and with no filibuster it’ll be all over déjà vu again.

 Nice!  Some day I will have to move to the mountains we never get to see the alien space ships in flat Indiana.

 I might be different.  For me happiness is setting goals and achieving them.  

When I don’t have a goal I am lost and life looses meaning.

More and more I notice work goals don’t do it first me. It has to be personal goals. 
 No one is buying TVs any more because we are all glued to the small screen.

Also few take in a movie at movie night.

Hospital and Medical are in sane!  Keep in mind Obama care may contribute to that as well as Medicaid.

As a private pilot I can say Avgas is way up pushing $6/gallon and so are almost all GA expense items. Marine fuel is up too.

 I just wanna know how any bitcoiner can possibly support Kamala?  The premise of bitcoin is that it will rise against the dollar due to printing of dollars and yet Kamala is calling for 42% capital gains tax.  

You could never sell your bitcoin without paying close to 1/2 (once you add state taxes) to the government.

The taxes keep you poor.

 Chattanooga is actually a pretty reasonable flight from my house. It might remind you of Switzerland, a little bit small mountains in that area.

 Great point.  It’s the fed;  They won’t because then you can’t see the continuous change.  

The linear scale will hide the continued dollar devaluation.

 I zap and follow back!  Not sure if it helps.
I’m on iOS so it is cumbersome:

1 Primal has performance issues and a stike based wallet (not my type)
2 Damus does not zap posts
3 Nostur seems the best (love the markdown integration ) but no zaps on notes
4 https://nostter.app website allows zaps on notes from a private self custodial wallet, but has a clunky UI

IS everyone else using Android?

 Use tags like #asknostr or simply #nostr. **Introduce yourself and interact**
Tags are important. 

E.G. try this. #nostr or #asknostr how do I zap notes, or users?
