Pleb of all trades, gigachad of none.

Hypertrophy-focused resistance training 6x/week, atleast 8k steps/day, see the sunrise/sunset, 4-5 meals/day with 1g/lb bw in protein every day split evenly b/w those meals.

Whole, less processed foods when possible. Hydrating, but stopping caffeine at noon. Post-meal walks with podcasts.

I think I have been a bit unfair to nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq recently - respect the massive pressure of running a no kyc bitcoin custodian.

Sincerely hope there is never a rug.

Tbh I just assume WoS will rug and hold the appropriate amount of sats for that expectation.

What's the problem with 0% Greek tho?

Two of the C-Suite at my company (CEO and CTO) just separately asked me about Bitcoin and Nostr (accordingly).

This led to two deep conversations lasting ~20 minutes each. Legitimately curious, both actually use the networks and wanted to understand their incentives better.

We're going to win, folks.

Time to mix it up, my dudes! Fees are pretty low, mempools never clearing again!!

Just because people cling to a practical truth doesn't make their position absolutely correct.

- You can be practically "right" on accident.

If being a bible-thumping-paleo/carnivore works for you, then by all means, keep at it! I respect your right to do so.

However, expect some justified pushback if you denigrate others by labeling them cowards.

Calories equated (barring any extreme sensitivities), it's much ado about nothing.

Eat less processed foods, in general, for better health. Demonizing foods won't solve the thermodynamic problem of CICO.

Agreed. Zealotry requires trait disagreeability, makes sense that there's some overlap here.

Doesn't stop at religion, the seed oil phobia is hilariously overrepresented as well.

But what do I know? I'm just a lowly, cowardous, agnostic-athiest 😂

There's some power in living with seasons, I think. Different cycles to potentiate certain behaviors/patterns. The ability to adapt/pivot within each can be a very low time preference exercise -- especially with harsh winters in the mix!

I normally keep my Uber rides under 45 mins. But for a few reasons I ended up just getting a two-hour Uber from an airport the other day.

The driver was nice but was like, “damn lol I hope Uber pays me well for this”. The issue with long rides is that the Uber driver is far away after the ride in a new territory and has to try to earn rides back to their normal location. He asked if he could at least stop for coffee or something and I said of course.

So we go for a while and eventually pull over over at a convenience store and he goes to get some coffee and a snack. I go out and get a coffee too and then I pick up his tab and pay for both of us. Uber ended up calling both of us for a health check because the car was stopped.

Buying him a coffee opened him up a bit so we talked for a while. He asked where I was coming from and I said Egypt, and he said he was from Ghana. While chatting and me explaining why I am coming from Egypt, he made a great point that in many places outside of the US, family is a big deal whereas in the US, it is much diminished. And as a result, it’s very important to build connections with neighbors and coworkers in place of that. Even just tell people “good morning” if you usually see them on the way to work so that people know who you are. He came to the US alone four years ago so that is something he describes having learned and a strategy he is using.

Anyway as we pulled up to my destination I gave him an unusually big tip to compensate any inconvenience or unpaid time he might have getting back. A few mins later my doorbell rang and he had come up to say was super thankful for the big tip. The Uber algorithm had kind of screwed him over and the trip price (and thus his share) was low for the hassle, and he felt screwed over by Uber, but then he saw my tip which instantly fixed it.

I should have checked to see if he had a lightning wallet or tried to convince him to download one if not, because then I could have done one of those social media “okay everybody tip this guy” posts. :/

This was a phenomenal bed time story for me, thank you Lyn!

Test! For my friends. ⚡

No, but my girlfriend does 🙄
