Have just finished 30 days on carnivore diet, some of my observations:

1) Wasn’t hungry. Certainly ate less in all but found myself full sooner too

2) Eggs are the best! I went through about 100 in 1 month, hard boiled as snacks of cooked alongside steak/sausages/bacon. Throw on some grated cheese when you’re next frying eggs!

3) Eating outside the home is the biggest challenge. Difficult to find dishes at restaurants/cafes that are meat only

4) Minced meat is your friend. I cooked “meat cakes” with eggs and cheese in muffin trays for snacks, and mixed with taco seasoning and bacon is a great easy meal

5) Didn’t experience much benefit in energy levels but I certainly slept better

6) Once you break your sugar addiction it becomes very easy

7) Your gut readjusting after a few days isn’t much fun 😂

8) Sous vide made the cooking part way easier.

9) Its not expensive. I was getting through on $15-$25 per day and having basically whatever meat I felt like

10) 4 other people started carnivore after talking to me, all men. Sharing with them at different points made it easier too

Can’t see myself doing it full time but I reckon I’ll do it annually with dry July. Improved my cooking abilities and dropped weight with minimal effort, realised seed oils are in everything, and noticed just how pervasive shit food is too so it was a very worthwhile experiment for me.

The “Burden of the Beast” piece by @sabatomstudios was probably the most timely and prophetic art at #burningman2023

It is made out of reclaimed materials from houses destroyed from climate disasters in New Orleans. It depicts the way in our homes and lives would migrate to safer places escaping the impact of climate change if we lived in a Miyazaki movie.

Instead of our homes becoming a giant buffalo to carry us to safer pastures we have refugees who must flee with nothing but what they carry. If that isn’t hard enough we criminalize their migration!

It is so fitting that this piece was at a burningman where we saw multiple storms hit and flood the desert.

Almost everyone reacted with cooperation and humanity. Making sure they and their neighbors were ok. A few elite and wealthy panicked and fled. This is what they are going to do in the default world and we must both educate them in to not hating humanity and also prevent them from causing more damage in their panic.

that was such a cool album

Running @umbrel! I had to retire my old Raspberry Pi because it was no longer reliable. I'm impressed with this Umbrel Home so far. UmbrelOS is an absolute delight and pleasure. Now, I am waiting to sync up. #umbrel #bitcoin

Question for you all;

A man wanted to get home quickly and instead of waiting for his employer to escort him home via a vehicle he decided to walk home alone in the darkness in the Dinokeng Game Reserve South Africa. Sadly 3 male lions attacked, killed and ate him, the Game Reserve has now applied to kill these 3 lions for this attack- do you think these wild lions that live in this region deserve to be killed over this- considering that there already is a massive decline in lions in the past 20 years due to poaching? 😞🤔

Biggest complaints:

- Bitcoin echo chamber / not enough variety of content

- Difficult to use (my guess is these people have only tried it once 8 months ago lol..)

- Feeds not busy enough

- Toxic to web 3

My thoughts:

I bet we can solve a lot of these complaints just by asking people to select some topics to follow in onboarding and doing away with global entirely, or make it an optional thing. It seems global is responsible for turning people off because they see a bunch of spam / too much bitcoin content and or some other crap.

Topics solves some of this - they will see more focused content.

Better navigation UX can help - like browsing hashtags (see primal).

The network effects thing IS a challenge. Have to have users to create content and have to have content to attract users. Lists could help here. Even something as suggesting a list of RSS feeds that post on Tech news for example would be helpful. We already have RSS feeds for all sorts of stuff but they are difficult to surface.

Engaging with non-bitcoin content can help too (if you find it interesting, probably don’t want to force it).

Other than that I am not sure how to get more non-bitcoin users here other than creating a “safe space” for them where they don’t see that type of content at all. Whether that’s a bitcoin-free relay or a client that specifically mutes bitcoin terms via a pre-defined (user can still modify) mute list, or something else I can’t think of atm. nostr:note1j5cx3j3h7prnr46yyfa4akllsjach4qxhnzu0tu4pcgh3afcj0qs5rd0w8

The airbnb my wife arrived at was filthy and she had to clean it herself just to sleep.

What’s the point of such services? At least in a hotel if your room is dirty you can get another.

Also, good morning ☀️ 🤙

Okay, I will be outsourcing the upcoming cross platform Airdrop feature of NostrNet.work!

Context: After the next update, if you open NostrNet.work on multiple devices such as a PC and an iPhone, you will be able to seamlessly transfer files between them. You just have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi.

Snapdrop appears to be an excellent choice, as it works exceptionally well with NostrNet.work. I plan to develop it into an extension to provide an even more seamless experience.

With this approach we get the best interface for this functionality and still keep the project lightweight and provide seamless experience by turning it into an extension. 🤌

🤤

Nostr. It's done! Will post video soon.

Someone reading a book outdoors, hadn’t seen that in a while.

Unfortunately not able to save full resolution photo. Can you put full rez on relay?

Where does CSS fit into this?
