 Pretty sure you muzzled your friend during mag load, and grip strength will help you with recoil control. 
 If you believe Ross Ulbricht should be free, what do you think of Variety Jones/Cimon/Plural of Mongoose? Should he be free too, or is he more guilty because he convinced Ross to do more of his mafia style moves? 
 People look at this and see nothing wrong with using DNS-based image urls or url-based relay hint... 
 Why should anyone use nostr.build vs any other image host? I think people are just using you a lot because nostr is in your url. Maybe you should try to provide a unique service, and then charge for it. 
 Cool, hopefully it's enough to make them profitable.

 Can you remember when was the first time you bought Bitcoin?

#asknostr #Bitcoin 
 Yep. Localbitcoins, Asian chick, met at a Starbucks, paid cash. 
 Anyone got a review of a Starbook? #asknostr

 “If you ask me to name the proudest distinction of Americans, I would choose — because it contains all the others — the fact that they were the people who created the phrase ‘to make money.’ No other language or nation had ever used these words before; men had always thought of wealth as a static quantity — to be seized, begged, inherited, shared, looted or obtained as a favor. Americans were the first to understand that wealth has to be created. The words ‘to make money’ hold the essence of human morality."

 Anyone have a link to just the text of the article? 
 That was a lot of user interaction for "it doesn't get easier than this." 
 Can it be easier than that?

 It kinda reminds me of people using Brave browser instead of just using Tor browser or Mullvad browser. 
 Does it verify the firmware? 
 But no pgp verification? Where do you get the "good" checksum to compare against? 
 Nm I'm an idiot and conflated checksum with hash. So no verification? 
 Anyone else ever type `exit` and press enter to try and close the browser?

 What is the difference between these two relays? 

relay.mutinywallet.com 

nostr.mutinywallet.com  
 I believe nostr.mutinywallet.com is running blastr and relay.mutinywallet.com is running strfry.

 There are no "nostr sites." It's not like Tor that has a darknet that is only accessible over Tor. Nostr sites are just regular websites.

 Can't you just put fake info and a burner email? If people put their real info it's kinda natural selection. The relays all have your ip address too you know. I don't see anyone clamoring for some type of onion routing.  
 Which is the equivalent of giving a fake name and email address. 
 I never understood "buy local." Don't you want the best product for the best price, regardless of the geographic location of it's production? What if your local shop is diluting their product, you just suck it up? 
 You didn't even address my points. If the rancher you shake hands with is storing his meet at an unsafe temp do you continue to buy from him if the only alternative is a unknown person from an unknown location but has stellar quality meet for less money? 
 It's dumb to use github issues for stuff like this.

 I use keepassxc in a dedicated vm with no internet access. I have ~1000 entries between my wife, my kid, and me. Don't see how it's manageable any other way.

 Is that something you made or you just throwing words together into sentences? 
 I wear a brand new pair of socks everyday. 

It is surprisingly affordable to do this. 
 So fiat. If you wore quality socks you could not make this statement. 
 I feel bad for your family's feet so I'm going to hook you up. You buy about 10-14 pairs of really nice socks from https://darntough.com and you get a lifetime warranty. So you wear them out or your kid outgrows them, and you just get free replacements. You never buy socks again. 
 Is there some legit DeFi that gives you interest on your #bitcoin?

 You better keep a running average of your cost basis, or you're going to have a major headache/pay a lot of money to an accountant when you sell some.
