Was just telling my friend how my parents took me to a toy store after the school year has finished. And how happy I was to go and get the biggest jigsaw puzzle I can make.
All the boredom was useful. Using physical things is useful. The screen-attached boredom isn't. It only makes everything else look bleak.
I admit I have no idea what's going... But I'm only just watching a video, never seen this contraption before
Brilliant Turkish proverb.
Question though for history nerds, has Russia ever been beaten to submission? Beyond Napoleon and Hitler failures that is.
Precisely. I'm 37, myself. And it feels like whatever I did so far in life, as useful as it is, must change. I feel a change in course is needed.
Thanks for the suggestive answer.
That's what I am trying to figure out ๐
Let me put it this way, it seems that a midlife crisis is not a specific singular moment. It could be a crisis like any but what makes it different is that it comes after some long term stability and forces a person to change course.
When does midlife crisis usually hit?

I beg to differ. I think WW1 has more influence to this day. At least, in my part of the world. The part where the bastards called Sykes and Picot have ruined any potential of autonomy, and the devil of Balfour had planted the seeds of evil.
Also, the USSR is born out of WW1, so whatever they did post WW2 cannot be done without that.

Whats with one-eyed world, seeing one half and blind to another? It's not just double standards at this point. It's more of high time preference predators going after low time preference strategists.
Mistakes are bound to happen, at a cost for everyone.
Appeasement to Hitler and turning a blind eye to his transgressions against neighboring states were the triggers to WW2. He kept attacking, and the rest of the neighbors had enough..... eventually.

Enjoy! And thanks for the Sats.
I think I need to pick up a science book again. It's been ages since I refocused into economics. Got me here to a nice comfy space at the expense of knowing what to do with my career.
Strategy in place, tactics in tatters. ๐๐ญ
Look at me blathering to a stranger..
Daily check in #nostr. I'd like to complain a bit.
Living in a crowded city in which I spend about 2 hours daily just driving has sucked the life out of me. I can't wait to go back to my hometown and live near my family.
My podcast list is exhausted. Audiobooks are boring. It takes a lot more of the time allotted to useful things like (actual) reading, gym, hobbies, and family time.
Oh how can I forget:

I'd say
James Gleick
Marcus du Sautoy
Mario Livio
George RR Martin
Philip Ball
I'd love to add Tolkien to the list, but I've been lazy about it. I own most of his (and his son's) books.

Still wrestling with the question of how to provide value outside of a job. Here is a thought I had yesterday, please discuss. I want to see if the idea is worth pursuing or not.
Although not by training, but rather necessity, I'm good at data analysis and visualizations. I'm thinking that I could provide such services to local (or online) SMEs whose main focus is other things that generate data. I could be an outsource for them.
I'm sure it would start slow, but could gather steam depending on the size of the local market; which is sizeable in my estimation.
What do you think? Don't go easy. I would rather poke a 1000 holes in the idea than have it ripped apart after starting.
Introducing HAVEN - The Ultimate Relay For Sovereign Individuals
HAVEN (High Availability Vault for Events on Nostr) is the next evolution of personal relays that take self sovereignty and decentralization to the next level.
https://github.com/bitvora/haven
It's a 4-in-1 Relay with:
- Private Relay - for your drafts, ecash/nutsacks and anything else only you should be able to see
- Chat Relay - for your web of trust to be able to send you DMs or to host private group chats.
- Inbox Relay - for people to send reactions, zaps and likes to your notes. It also pulls these notes from other relays in real time. Protected by web of trust
- Outbox Relay - for others to read from. This will contain all the notes that only you publish. Anyone can read, only you can write. Every note sent to your outbox relay will be BLASTR'd to other relays.
It also has many SMART relay features, including:
- It imports all your old notes to your outbox relay, and imports any note you're tagged in to your inbox relay
- It protects your relays using your Web of Trust
- It automatically backs up all your notes to a 3rd party cloud (currently only AWS S3 support - more soonโข)
- It blastr's your notes to other relays
Amethyst users will love this relay because it gives you every relay you need to complete the relay configuration.
It is my hope with this relay that we can significantly increase the decentralization of Nostr by giving people an extremely powerful and reliable personal relay that gives them control over the longevity and privacy of their notes. With more people running personal relays, clients should be more inclined to implement the outbox/inbox model.
You can see HAVEN in action on my personal relay:
- wss://relay.utxo.one/outbox
- wss://relay.utxo.one/inbox
- wss://relay.utxo.one/chat
- wss://relay.utxo.one/private
I am extremely excited about this release and can't wait to see what the nostriches think of it!
