Abduct him, threaten him, make up fake charges, until he fully submits and cooperates with my secret agencies and agrees to do surveilance for me. This is the nature of the state.

Years old agitprop piece. Pls do not share stuff like this.

cars with inbuilt sim cards

interesting how they have an instinct to get on the ground and spread their weight over larger surface

it would be a shame if something happened to it in the name of national security

Crack eggs against a flat surface, not against the edge of a pan. This way you avoid getting shell shards in the food.

I would like to hear RSS mentioned. That's a tech that less tech savy guys miss on, IMO. Then everyone thinks, that you must go to a website, like substack, to read articles. Then substack becomes centralized social media with network effect, and we are where we started. It's somewhat related to the nostr topic.

"Why did you stop using Nostr"

https://old.reddit.com/r/nostr/comments/1josljh/stop/

> it's an annoying fucking echo chamber of mostly crypto-bros mostly jerking each other off. with a dash of keto pics, and neonazi memes, oh and constant "GM" messages". I think it's hilarious how unaware most of the users on there think they'll "succeed"

GM. If you guys stop being "weird", I am leaving.

It's easy to cut with a little pocket knife. oh wait... 😅

enjoying Schopenhauer may be a sign of vit. D deficiency #philosophy

1) Be their customer and offer them payment with Bitcoin. Make them curious.

2) Call it Bitcoin - they don't need to know terms like lightning, on-chain until they need it or other unnecessary technicalities. Say "it's easy, you just need to intall an app".

3)Make them install Phoenix Wallet and backup the seed properly. Explain why it's important to not lose the seed.

4)At the start send them large lightning transaction so that the app opens a chunky channel. Make tham send most of the money back - that way they will be left with inbound liquidity. This step is also an excercise for them to try receiving and sending.
