 i like today 🙂 
 I like most days. Small frustrations but greatful to be alive  
 How do I determine my personality type? 
 Bro gentle parenting is so cringe lol 

I’m listening to a mother have a struggle session with ... 
 Snatch em' up real stern always gets em.  
 I want to see all the Nostr mobile clients add some form of community functionality. 
 Amethyst has them.  
 I just think the clients specific to communities need to be a whole lot better. There are a few but they all feel slow and half finished.  
 I will be going live today on zap.stream with nostr:nprofile1qqspdudqzqx5ellme3prp68qus5se3vynsdd... 
 On in less than an hour 😅

 Imagine paying a lightning invoice for a Minecraft server at a domain and boom, you have a server on minecraft with the subdomain of your_npub.domain.com  
 We need a debate moderated by Joe Rogan  
 Every election is simply about who is going to get more free shit. 
 Our tax money, our incentive. We can't help it.  
 Let me axe Nostr a question. 

Are you bullish?

Also, why can’t most blacks say ask? 
 The welfare state robbed most of them from their will to educate themselves and instead rely on the broken education system all while growing up in a single parent home, usually with a parent that could give 2 shits about educating their children themselves because that's what the government is for.  
 Lol a quick glance at a chart and I thought I saw 62.8k instead of 68.2k and I almost panicked to bought a stack.  
 I buy every day  
 Reasons I'm into Bitcoin 

 - control my own money (safety)
 - make central banks shit their pant... 
 I prefer to look at it more like PGD. Price go down.  
 I meant the price of everything in Bitcoin terms goes down. Bitcoin is the measuring stick. Hard money you can't fuck with.  
 Well I do love me sum hamburger helper.  
 Bitcoin inflation is insanely high. 
 Bitcoin doesn't have inflation  
 If the price on USD increases, the block reward could be roughly the same value as today.  
 If Amethyst adds an "Around Me" feed, how far from you (lat-long radius) should it include?  
 30miles is good but not sure the user ase is there yet. 

Also, a feed for your nation/state would be great  
 Really need to build a NIP96 server in go... 
 My wife is pregnant. 

These next months are going to be a wild ride. 

Wish us luck. 
 Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 I'm here for any support you need.  
 Alright, I'll DM you with the invite link to book the podcast. It'll be a fun experiment. 
 Booked 📖

 3D printing - is it truly useful at this point? (Or just a gimmick for making toys?)

#asknostr

... 
 I've 3D printed multiple guns 😅

Also great for parts that are hard to find like little fasteners or custom cases for something. The more CAD experience you have, the more useful it will be.  
 OpenSCAD for making parts with parameters you can change later. FreeCAD and libreCAD are options.  
 Perplexity is a nice ai site. Might ditch open ai and try that one for a while 
 I love perplexity. 4o is still superior but perplexity is really good.  
 Get me on a podcast to talk guns, comedy, video games and nostr relays. Diversity is our strength. 😂 
 Sure! I'm a believer in carnivore but I've never done it and likely won't. I like broccoli and potatoes too much to give them up.  
 I'm down  
 The "back" button on android has two speeds:

1
10000

Hold the button for 1 second too long and ... 
 Just double tap what you want to delete and back once. Double tap on a word highlights the word, try again and highlight the line. Drag selector to select exactly what to delete. Press back once. Android is wild. Wildly efficient. 
  
 Liquid isn't custodial. It self custody on a federated chain. That's way different.  
 If you know the trust model of liquid, you know the chances of a liquid rug are near zero. But yes. This is why I advocate for layers of trust. Pocket change -> custodial lightning, a few million sats of liquidity -> liquid, cold storage -> on chain. This is the cheapest way to use Bitcoin in any way you need at any time you need it.  
 GM. ☀️ I build software, but did you know, I also build guns? Here are 2 of my beauties. Built from 80% lowers. No serials on these bad boys. 100% custom. Colors, engravings, all parts and build by me 😘

 Safe/fire engravings are "saddle up /send it" for the top one. Bottom is "stand by / engage" 
 Yes but it's not registered to me. 😅 Not my stamp.  
 Just get a glock21 instead. You will thank yourself when you're hiking and come across a bear.  
 I wouldn't keep more than 100k in custodial lightning.  
 Liquid isn't custodial. It self custody on a federated chain. That's way different.  
 Would I be able to install pfsense on this and use it as my primary router and firewall? I have a 24port poe smart managed switch and an access point for wifi. Looking to ditch the consumer router completely. #asknostr #networking

 Found this thread, not sure it's the best option. It's probably possible with some tinkering and it's really cheap for what it is. $53 shipped on the listing. But I don't think I want to tinker with it that much.

 If you don't want to keep a lot of sats on custodial lightning but you want cheap access to liquidity in a high fee environment, you use liquid.  
 I wouldn't keep more than 100k in custodial lightning.  
 Hey, this is Tadge.  First post on nostr.  Using "gossip" desktop client. Not sure if this works,... 
 Oh it works alright.  
 Just swap to custodial lightning for day to day spending.  
 If you don't want to keep a lot of sats on custodial lightning but you want cheap access to liquidity in a high fee environment, you use liquid.  
 On chain for stacks greater than a few million sats 
 Liquid is great for stacks sized .5-5million sats or so.

 Bruh... Do you live in the world? People are so computer illiterate. Now you have to teach how to run software on an operating system they've never heard of. Open channels. Manage liquidity. New coiners whose stack is not even worth the fees at times to open channels. A self custody lightning node is a lot of work.  
 Plugging in a modem and running a lightning node are not equivalent.  
 For a lot of people... Maybe even most of you venture out of your bubble.  
 Self custody liquid is superior to custodial lightning. Self custody lightning is too much work for the average user. We should be guiding more new coiners to liquid for medium sized stacks and custodial lightning for day to day spending money.  
 Liquid is great for stacks sized .5-5million sats or so.

 Zeus is no doubt the king 🏛️⚡ 
 Liquid haters simply don't understand the massive utility of the chain. "Liquid is dead, there's barely any transactions in the blocks" You sound just as stupid as the people claiming Bitcoin is dead when the price drops.  
 Lightning is a shitcoin too 
 You can peg out of liquid to base chain too.  
 You can do swaps. Peg just take 100 block conf on liquid  
 How do we watch Zap Stream through amethyst?

 I really like thermaltakes designs on cases.  
 They have good aesthetic design with no functional design. Thermaltake and Corsair both have great functional design. NZXT has great aesthetics also but terrible functionality imo.

 How feasible is it to build a treehouse up here? #asknostr #contruction #treehouse #diy

 That's the neighbors house. My house is all good. But all those trees to the right of the fence are mine... Lot of stumps to get rid of.  
 It may sprout new growth in the spring. We'll see.  
 That's not my house  
 It's not dead... Yet. Just broken.
