 What a time to be alive!

 Every day’s a chance to keep up the momentum or get back on track.

Don’t beat yourself up if it’s a struggle.

Energy and motivation are volatile.

Regroup, get some rest, and try again tomorrow. 
 Thanks for the heads up 
 Pretty sure that’s just his old account.  Hasn’t been active in the past year. Thanks for letting me know. 
 One day, banks will be begging us for our business. 
 Gotta admit, Saylor does a pretty good Elizabeth Warren impression. 
 Only a numbskull or a little predatory villain would tell people to insert trust and permission into a permissionless trustless monetary system.

And we all know Saylor isn’t a numbskull.

Stay paranoid, friends. nostr:note1fvllyxserf49mqprkpjm68ls3xsjstnsljveve70z0ffqjkzql6sud3z2g 
 Not sure how the word “little” got in there but I don’t hate it 😂 
 The guys just doesn’t have the same needs or motives as we do.

Tick tock next block. 
 Nothing had changed.

Deep down you know better than your idols.

Stay the course.

…and kill your idols.

 Distractions are a at an all time high and focus is at an all time low.

If you can be the exception, the world is yours. 
 Vote Kamala and she will eliminate  Cat5 hurricanes forever 
 She promises never to create one again. 
 Don’t fall victim to unhelpful inertia.

Break the inertia and positive momentum becomes much easier.

All you need is to make the decision and quickly follow it up with action. 
 1. Opens up twitter.
2. Immediately gets furious. 
 Not sure what I was thinking…

 nostr:npub1x0hv6t304cclxmqtmwzr6smpzsnwuhqz8zylqsqurw84qz89j6yssue8wz where are you Nov 6? 
 Family obligations both days that weekend. What’s happening Nov 6th? 
 Unfortunately don’t think I can make it this year. November’s a busy month. 
 400 milligrams of caffeine and I feel nothing. This is probably unhealthy. 😂 
 You need a month off. 
 Slamming the laptop shut. Time for some off-screen time. 
 I think the main reason nostr isn’t growing is because I don’t want my family and friends to ... 
 What if all they’re getting is your crazy thoughts and we’re getting the sane thoughts here? 
 When I’m well rested and wake up early, Monday mornings are almost as enjoyable as Friday afternoons.

If that’s not the case for you, are you working on the right things? 
 Bungled the espresso shot and may have too much lemon but it sure looks pretty #coffeechiain https://image.nostr.build/07f258b9948f6d11f12d6c8b522400197341e5b9ee92fff945ab1a7257905609.jpg  
 I don’t have the type of time I used to for listening to podcasts.

So I’ve taken a new approach to deciding what to listen to.

I prioritize listening to people I know personally, podcasts on novel ideas, or classic books on old events/ideas.

And just like that, I’ve stepped out of the Pod Conf sphere of influence @Bugle_News 
 Another espresso tonic #coffeechain, this one’s with guava and from a cafe. 

I think I like mine better. https://image.nostr.build/4be51fbede0337467b14f0d63c271a529e870bf3333f64b65f5281dc1925ba6f.jpg  
 It is to have a nice refreshing energy boost.

I don’t beautifully pull espressos, I aeropress them so this is usually an upgrade. 
 Fellow (the kettle company) makes an espresso cap for the aeropress that significantly improves the quality of an espresso shot but it’s still not on par with a quality shot pulled from a nice machine. 
 My biggest weakness is food. 

Any advice how to control that? 
 Cutting out carbs for a while really quiets food cravings but not sure that’s a good idea if you’re training for a race.

Stick to eating for fuel, rather than pleasure. If most of what you eat is nutritious, eating more of it isn’t such a bad thing. With consistency, it only takes a couple weeks to get used to this and curb cravings. 
 My top 5 favorite MCs in no particular order (that’s too difficult):

Sean Price
Breeze Brewin
MF Doom
Big Pun
Nas

Who’s in your top 5? 
 Solid list 
 Talk About A Girl might be the most perfect hip hop track ever made. 
 GM - lemon espresso tonic for the #coffeechain 
 No, but that sounds good. I made this espresso with an aeropress with the fellow espresso nozzle 
 Reunited and it feels so good @damus 
 LFG ⚡️ 
 Does that script still work for zapping on Damus? 

If so, can someone share? 
 🙏😁 
 Back to running Damus.

Was using Primal since the Damus beta expired but not down with providing an email for zaps.

 Volatility is nothing to be scared of. It’s natural. The lack of it is unnatural. 

Everything is volatile from the weather, to our energy levels, to our perception of time. 

Embrace what’s natural and you’ll thrive. Embrace what’s unnatural and you’ll meet your demise. 
 When trying to build a following on nostr, quoting and 
commenting on other’s notes is everything.

Aside from that, positivity and being genuine wins around here.

There’s no algorithm that feeds off fear and anger, or to surface your content to those who don’t follow you. 
 This is nothing more than a place for us to come together, share ideas, and support each other. 
 We are all the algorithm ✊

 It ain’t easy, nor have I succeeded but it probably looks something like this:

Smash phone, computer, and tv.
Ditch processed food, sugar, and seed oils.
Sleep soon after sundown and wake around sunrise.
Go outside a ton.
Move a ton to the point of challenging strength, endurance, and flexibility.
Eat a lot of nutrients and stay hydrated with minerals and electrolytes.
Meditate.
Create - write, make art, music, etc.

After a few weeks, introduce consumption of books/printed material - the older, the better.

Be intentional about what you consume.

And when you reintroduce technology, try to use it to create 90% of the time. Consumption through technology is very detrimental.

 After months off caffeine, have you noticed changes in your natural/general energy levels? 
 Nice, that’a what I’ve heard. I’ve taken a few weeks off of it but haven’t experienced that. Gotta give it another try.

I love coffee but it’s terribly diuretic and likely flushes a ton of essential nutrients and minerals out of the body. 
 Just said “nothing stops this train” on Fox Business live. ;) 
 Need to see this clip 
 Think they’re just making the debates this bad so we don’t complain when they take them away in 2028? 
 Didn't watch the debate but seeing a lot of cope on nostr so guessing Trump did poorly lol 
 I wouldn’t wish watching that clown show on my worst enemy.  The debates are a giant LARP that don’t contain any debating but if they did, a 10th grade debate club student would own both candidates. 
 It’s times like these that people like you feel called upon to step up and risk it all to do something that shifts the paradigm and changes the world.

What are you waiting for?
