lol i just use top 10 fastest to connect on nostr.watch maybe im doing it wrong 🤔

Using Nostr you learn to just expect that everything will be shit all the time.

I was going to try to mostly follow Nostr accounts, and there are lots of people on Nostr, but everything they post is carbon generated spam.

You can never leave the schizo ward, it seems.

If bitcoin and zaps disappeared tomorrow and there was no crypto aspect to Nostr at all, would you still use it? Why/why not?

it’s not working but i will persevere. what are they gonna do- arrest me? nostr:note18kp5yuzex4q7c4v222p2hfu766jrvchy9pw2qah8352juuvglnpspwkymy

Fair enough. Hopefully our fiat currency doesn’t hyperinflate 🥴

That's because gasoline engines use very little fuel to idle, especially modern ones. You're saving a miniscule amount of fuel and increasing the number of starts on the engine by at least 10x or more.

Automatic stop/start is such a stupid fucking feature that saves very little fuel and wears out your engine faster. Auto manufacturers were forced to add it to a lot of vehicles because of new emissions standards. It fucking sucks.

It slows throttle response.

Your AC stops working when the engine stops turning.

It wears out your crankshaft bearings faster.

When the crank is spinning and there's oil pressure there's a barrier of oil between the crank journals and the bearings. When the engine stops turning the crankshaft settles down onto the bearings. So when it starts there's a half a second where the crankshaft is rubbing against the bearings. This causes wear and tear. I've read that auto manufacturers have come up with better bearing materials to deal with this added wear and tear, but it's still wear and tear and the fact is that the engine would last longer without this stop/start feature. You're talking 30-40 starts per day vs 3-4.

I've tried to disable this feature in my car's settings but it resets every time you turn the car off. I'll have to have my mechanic friend go in with his scan tool and see if he can disable it permanently. It could make the difference between an engine lasting 150k miles vs 300k miles.

Buying bitcoin instead of a phone with minimal improvements beyond your previous phone

That’s a lot of sats opportunity cost for marginal upgrade…

Guess I’ll be an Apple guy for another year. ❤️🤣

Ooh I like spooky stuff, thanks for that.

They can call it whatever. 🤣

There’s no doubt that I love the camera.

Probably since it’s in the previous gen chip. Controller limitation.

Ah. There’s the CPU.

It does. I hate that cases cover so much up. I have a clear one I like.
