I see a mirror image of my future self, and they're looking pretty good on Nostr!

I think bluesky can or will tap into Nostr. I think threads will do the same. jack Dorsey suggested Elon to do the same. I think all this will become a standard. is bitcoin a standard? I think think so. What do ya'll think?

Elon is sending his satellites to space and probably use X as a social networking thing.

If Nostr could use his satellites, great but Elon still has control over his satellites. I guess X will be the most accessible app on the planet. Think about it, Elon needs an app that can handle large traffic. I guess thats X

There are many things that could have been done to prevent or mitigate the #climatecrisis. Some of these include:

Investing in renewable #energy sources: This would have helped to reduce our reliance on #fossil fuels, which are a major source of #greenhouse gas emissions.

Improving energy efficiency: This would have helped us to use less energy overall, which would have also reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Changing our #transportation systems: This would have meant investing in public transportation, walking, and biking, and making it easier for people to do so. This would have reduced our reliance on cars, which are a major source of emissions.

Reducing deforestation: #Deforestation is a major contributor to climate change, as it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. We could have reduced deforestation by planting trees, protecting existing forests, and using sustainable agricultural practices.

Changing our diets: Our #diets have a big impact on the environment. Eating less meat and more plant-based foods would have helped to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and land use.

Supporting policies that address climate change: We could have supported policies that would have helped to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems.

These are just a few of the things that could have been done to prevent or mitigate the climate crisis. Unfortunately, we did not take action soon enough, and now we are facing the consequences. However, it is not too late to act. We can still reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. But we need to act now.

In addition to the above, here are some other things that we can do to help address the climate crisis:

Educate ourselves and others about #climate change: The more people who understand the problem, the more likely we are to take action.

Get involved in our #communities : We can make a difference by getting involved in local efforts to address climate change. This could involve volunteering for a climate-related organization, attending city council meetings, or writing to our elected officials.

Support businesses and organizations that are committed to sustainability: By supporting businesses and organizations that are committed to sustainability, we can help to create a more sustainable #economy .

Live our lives in a more sustainable way: We can all make a difference by making small changes in our own lives, such as driving less, recycling more, and eating less meat.

Every little bit helps. By taking action, we can help to create a more sustainable future for ourselves and for generations to come.

Every year, I spend 1-2 months living in Egypt. This is because my husband is originally from Egypt, his family is much larger than mine, and so while our economic base is in the US, our social base is actually in Egypt. I thus became multinational many years ago.

However, my husband spends 3-4 months each year in Egypt, while I only spend 1-2 months there. So, there are 1-2 months where I’m in the US alone. The reason I choose to do this is to look after the household and business, and because I’m not as productive in Egypt (inconsistent internet, less optimal workstation, way more social pressures, and so forth).

In some ways, we find that spending some time apart strengthens our relationship and lets us focus on our separate things for part of the year. And when we meet after 1-2 months, it’s such a great reunion. We find ourselves wanting to catch up on so much and spend extra time together. But also, even though in some ways I look forward to having time alone and indeed get a lot done during that time, I immediately regret it once I am alone. I find myself constantly looking forward to going to Egypt, as I am now. During these periods, I end up posting more on social media, either constructively or non-constructively, in what tends to be a replacement for diminished in-person contact.

This seems to be amplified by my work situation. When I was an engineer, I worked with colleagues in person each day, but now that I work from home, my colleagues are virtual and I meet them in person only at major events. So, this relatively brief window each year of being in a different place than my husband tends to be oddly monk-like, with me at home alone 24 hours per day, working and living and doing whatever I do. I think one of my future goals will be to increase my deliberate effort at spending time with local friends, especially during this part of the year.

Anyway, I’m doing a series of ā€œreal thoughtsā€ uniquely on Nostr, and this is the first one.

Conclusion: Social circles are (obviously) a very important thing, including for workaholics and introverts like myself. Social circles affect us in various ways, and having gone through many cycles, I have become increasingly aware of the changes that take place during these seasonal cycles of being close to others vs far from others.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I can relate to your experience of feeling lonely when you are apart from your husband and social circle. Social interaction is important for everyone, even for introverts. It can help us to feel connected, supported, and less stressed.

I think it is great that you are aware of the changes that take place in your mood and behavior when you are alone. This will help you to make informed decisions about how to spend your time and how to connect with others.

I think your goal of increasing your deliberate effort at spending time with local friends is a great one. It can be helpful to have a regular social activity that you can look forward to. This could be anything from going out for coffee to joining a club or taking a class.

I also think it is important to be kind to yourself during these times. It is okay to feel lonely and it is okay to miss your husband and friends. Allow yourself to feel these emotions and then find ways to cope with them in a healthy way.

Colored coins are a way of attaching metadata to a bitcoin transaction, allowing it to represent ownership of a particular asset or resource. This effectively allows for the creation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) or other types of digital assets on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. Colored coins are an open-source protocol built on top of Bitcoin 2.0 and can be used to extend the functionality of the Bitcoin blockchain to enable the handling of other types of assets or tokens.

Bitcoin is not natively programmable like Ethereum, but it is still possible to create non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on top of the Bitcoin blockchain using a process called "colored coins." Colored coins are a way of attaching metadata to a bitcoin transaction, essentially "marking" it as representing ownership of a particular asset. This can be used to represent NFTs or other types of digital assets, although it is less flexible and more difficult to work with than the smart-contract functionality on Ethereum. So, while Bitcoin is not natively programmable, it is still possible to create NFTs on top of the Bitcoin blockchain using colored coins.

How can #nfts be sold and bought using #bitcoins?

Bitcoin isn't programmable so where is the contract?

do you keep it on a hardware? Over the years, my thumb drive failed to work. I'm skeptical about those storage devices being reliable over time. What if you can't get into it?

I don't get this. please explain. I thought it was an X thing but I guess not

would you use the towel after this?
