 Panem et circensus.

I don't care what happened. 

 
 I've only seen him play with his later guitars, and what the MIM has on display. 

This is cool. Thanks. 
 The first time I got to see him play,  Al jarreau opened for him. 
 People waiting for govt to tell them how to eat well 🤣 

C’mon … 
 Pretty amazing, isn't it? 
 Yep. Everytime. 

It's, actually, rather depressing. 
 How many of you keep an analog clock up in view, and actually read it? I just recently got mine w... 
 Always. 
On person, In kitchen,
And a 24 hour one in the shop. 
 Yes 
 The conflation here with intelligence and political position is always fun. 
It's always also followed up by assuming a morality or ethical failings when found to be in conflict with assumption. 
 What’s up? 
 Any direction opposite the earth's gravitational pull... 

And lots of work. 
 Nostr seems to be where all the kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s, and all the kids who wish th... 
 Accurate. 
 Has anyone tried red light therapy? Is it real? Does it work?
#asknostr 
 Whelp... 

Clinical red light therapy uses low power lasers. 

Home units are made with LEDs. 

Most (if not all) studies have been done with very small groups. 
Research is almost always stated as "on going"
It's been suggested for everything from joint pain to weight loss and Androgenic Alopecia (genetic disorder causing hair loss).

I would be very skeptical.
 
 But the WEF told us! 
 YOU SEE THIS SHIT?!? 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

 Certainly has my attention.
 I've got the room and materials for it.
Gonna have to give it a try. 
I'm curious about the rub on the chicken.  
 making price predictions is not only silly, it’s cringe cliche.
stay humble, stack sats. 
 Exactly. 
But at this point, it's just part of the cycle. 
 Excellent! I was looking for a biscuit recipe that works better. 
 My kid's (I use that term loosely, they're young men now) approval secured. 
A bunch of teens that are already my height or more. (Scandinavian genetics are easy to spot) 
Thank you very much!

 That's generally how that works. 
It's quite human.

 Certainly some form of alkaloid poisoning.

 Yep. Now I just tumble brass, though. 
 Definitely can be.  
 😳

 And then the allies crossed the channel.

 Always a good chuckle. 
 She's an "analyst" in the same way Marx was an economist. 
 Here's the new maga thing I want to see. 

MLSA! Make language succinct again.

Too many twisted ... 
 Aside from slang creation and usage (which will always be with us), 
the worst offenders are ideologues redefining language to intentionally muddle or obscure their intent.
It can only be dealt with on a cultural level. 
 Old car guy stuff. (Both old guy and old car) 

Just because that weird fuel thingy on the top of your engine has brass screws with flat-head screw driver slots, doesn't mean you should tighten them as much as possible. 

In the image is a new "idle mixture screw" (center) smoothly machined, conical tip to allow a predictable about of fuel through a small hole when the throttle is closed. 

On either side of the new screw, are the ones originally removed.

 2020 was pivotal for a lot of guys I know. 
 Saw that quite a bit. 

I ducked out when the HR director was set to become the president of the construction company I was with for years. (After being the one pushing for vaxx requirement) 
 Gonna be honest, had not heard people discuss communism in ages. before joining Nostr. I thought ... 
 It's been here the whole time. 
 By "here" I'm referring to political movements globally.

But yes, it's always been on Nostr as well. 
 You are assuming quite a bit about my statement. 
 Any misunderstanding on my part about the difference between socialism and communism. 

What labels are our how they are used to propel narratives. 

The use of labels in emotional manipulation.



 
 When I started nostr, bitcoin was $18k 
 When I started, 1btc was 1btc. 
I've certainly watched the dollar inflate, though.

 I'll save you the picture of my hand, but I can now say it's a bad idea to use a metal zip tie carelessly near an exposed 110v conductor.  
 That depends on you.

 Which is why it's such a good time for independent games. 
 This is how the world ends. 
With a bang and a honk. 
 English is a strange language.
<Says someone learning to read Cyrillic> 
 A couple reasons. Both related.

Curiosity about cultures and histories.

Reading texts in original languages reveals much more about the author's mind and intent than the best translations. 

I like the technique you mention. I'll give it a try.

 So close, but the shard under Olympus Mons is really just C'tan.

It's my favorite one.

 So wishful thinking, then.
