merry Christmas 🥳

🤤🤤

it's just vibrating magnets, dont overthink it. save your money, ears dont pick up what your eyes see on graphs 👀

finally getting chilly, guess crab season is coming to an end 🥲

next up mullet roe season (烏魚子), still nothing at the local markets but any day now 👀

someone please orange pill nas 😭😮‍💨

it's a wonderful life (1946) holds up shockingly well for how old it is

tokyo godfathers (2003) directed by the late satoshi kon is pretty great

君子喻於義，小人喻於利

confucious say the focus isnt on the trophies (what is profitable; the risk/reward result of scamming), gentlemen/scholars consider what is right 🤓

the documentary "wick is pain" is pretty good

this pack is missing infinite pizza slices 🤣

reading a book while high is pretty fun 😎

when it comes to fiction my imagination is pretty crap compared to when i get a little toasted, makes it a lot more fun.

where to find the volume settings on these things 😩

i dont disagree, but i think its relevant to point out that before getting used to the other units (i.e. mBTC or μBTC) werent there early users who felt Bitcoin should just shift the decimal points over time 👀

reminded me of: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=13144.0

"sats the standard" came much later

completely unrelated, your note made me think of:

thanks for the recommendation

i wouldnt mind a new half life

😋😋😋😋

today drove out to miaoli, taiwan where they farm mitten crabs. mostly known as a delicacy in shanghai cuisine, these crabs were mostly known to be from the jiangsu province in china

mitten crabs mature in seawater and spawned in freshwater. during the fall months the mature crabs make their way back to where they come from.

taiwan has it's native hairy crab species, but for a couple decades the entrepreneurs in miaoli decided to farm the more sought species from across the strait.

up until this year ive only bought these at markets and for most of my life only had these crabs in fancy restaurants. fun to enjoy food where it is being produced 🦀

be careful 👀

i was on a cooking book binge awhile ago. i learned a lot from a book called "ratio" (ruhlman) which i have saved as an epub on my phone along with others from libgen.

instead of looking up recipes from search engines which are almost always terrible slop, i search the book(s) instead and keep digital bookmarks 🤓

woke up early to head to yehliu fishing harbor to bring home 16 rock crabs for 31,000 sats 🤤

in the core vs knots context, datacarrier encompasses more transactions in Knots than Core

in the only-looking at core v30 context, datacarrier now allows multiple outputs instead of one to be treated as standard transactions to relay across the network as unconfirmed transactions (among peers that also acknowledge those new standard rules)

if you feel a way about the spam, take the time to learn how to apply the patches

it's good homework 🥳

im referring to the code comment change to datacarrier in v26 which limits datacarrier to outputs (meaning input-styled arbitrary data storage schemes like inscriptions would not be in scope)

on another note, v29.1 has the minrelay fee changes (reduced from 1 to .1) backported

so users should just stomach the datacarrier code comment changes in exchange for security patches?

what if users simply dont want to relay garbage (inscriptions, stamps, large op_returns, etc) as unconfirmed transactions to their peers? shit out of luck?

i wonder how they prepare crab there 🤔

my only reference is a lobster platter i had in baja california, mexico like a decade ago that came with beans, tortilla, and salsa

depends on the crab.

these freshwater mitten crabs are mostly farmed, its sustainability comes down to economics as mitten crabs technically are invasive to Taiwan (taiwan has its own native species of hairy crabs 毛蟹 so ecological damage is somewhat limited)

ocean crabs have size requirements to meet and there are harvest quotas throughout the year -- there are even times out of the year where females aren't sold

🤓

...and then theres imported seafood

of course! they're delicious 🤤

it's crab season again 🥳

this time of year has mitten crabs filled with eggs, better escort them with some meat-filled mud crabs

~181,000 sats

when rewatching breaking bad as bitcoin goes higher and higher, it starts to make the show into a comedy

still excellent

millennium actress

huh?

i can confirm this anecdotally, i usually have anywhere between 2-6 knots peers on my node, i see them much more frequently then lets say last year 😎

wouldnt these angles make the phone fly vertical? this doesnt make sense 😅

if only he took the time out of his schedule to go on tftc he could have been convinced to not sell his 🌽

our baby snake is 4 months old today 🥳 TIL of a long-standing family tradition of 收涎, literally translated as "anti-drooling ceremony. the idea is that babies stop drooling when they grow up so everyone getting together to find ways to soak up all the baby's drool early should make them grow up faster.

....so obviously one surrounds babies with cookies, breaking off pieces to soak up his drool 🤭

these traditions make no sense, but at least it's fun. the family goes around in circles and come up with funny rhymes.

收涎收乾乾，趕緊叫爸爸 (soak up all your drool, so you can start saying daddy)

收涎收灕灕，乎你聽話懂代誌 (soak up all your drool, so you'll behave and gain understanding)

this tradition is still practiced in Taiwan and Fujian province of China. some use fancy pastries, doughnuts, or cakes; we went for traditional cookies ~2500 sats
