Amethyst works great on my phone, tablet and desktop! It's so cool to use the same npub/nsec pair across devices and see the same stuff... Amber is great for signing events.

I'm very suggestible... Stop that!

Well... a straw bale mansion is going to cost more than a straw bale hut. I hope this has been useful to someone, somewhere...

Remember the good old days of StumbleUpon? Nostr sort of feels like that.

Sounds like the movie, "Primer". I still get confused when I rewatch it...

I never could get past the loss of an actual gamepad controller... All that tilt-sensor and touch-screen button emulation was way too awkward for my NES sensibilities... That Hay Day and Star Trek: Fleet Command did suck me in for a while. I keep going back to my PC and playing "Beneath a Steel Sky". I miss Apogee and Sierra games. Blaster Master was the best NES game for me. BioForge was a great PC adventure game. Laser Squad and Privateer were fun. The Descent: Free Space games were totally awesome with the asymetrical Shivan aliens! For new games, I like BAR: Beyond All Reason RTS...

Robin, you're gonna have to answer this one. I'm laying an egg!

I like to use minimum wage as a gauge to compare my tip against... Never been good at social comparisons... I figure if I see the waiter taking care of 4+ tables, I reckon this hours been good for them and I can get away with a bunch of $1s, but what if the next few hours is super slow and only one or two people show up after I'm gone? Maybe I need to lay down those ones and a five. What if today's a holiday and the 5 tables I see right now IS the breakfast/lunch/dinner rush? Gotta lay out a $10 too. If I'm the only customer when I arrive AND when I leave, definitely, it's gotta be $20 or maybe 2. If it's that confusing, just take a week off and get a job as a waiter... You'll learn real quick what YOUR preference in tips would be. You'll do the right thing. I'm sure of it.

When people dismiss evolution as a conspiracy, I find it confusing. To me, evolution and innovation are essentially the same thing. Evolution is about growth, adaptation, and the development of complexity over time, and that’s exactly what innovation is too.

Innovation builds upon what exists, making it more advanced, more intricateβ€”just like evolution. If someone claims they don’t believe in evolution, are they saying they also don’t believe in innovation? Because when you look at how technology, society, or even nature advances, it’s always a process of building on top of what’s already there.

Think about it: as things evolve, whether it’s species or technologies, they adapt to their environments and refine their functions. Just like innovation refines ideas, systems, and technologies, both processes involve complexity emerging from simpler forms. Evolution isn’t just about biology; it’s the underlying principle that drives progress in everything from life forms to inventions.

Even fundamental laws like gravity or thermodynamics have evolved in our understanding of them. These concepts may not change, but our knowledge and applications of them do. This is where evolution and innovation overlapβ€”both are about deepening complexity, fine-tuning systems, and finding better ways to navigate challenges.

So when people dismiss evolution, I wonderβ€”are they also dismissing innovation? Both are processes of adapting, advancing, and progressing. Neither is a conspiracy; they are simply the mechanisms that guide how things grow and improve.

It's easy to conflate the two. Innovation is directed by intelligence, yours. Evolution, by definition, is not.
