I genuinely don't know why I haven't been eating fish recently after my recent fish binge at the coast. Then, in the days after, all I want to do is eat more fish.

I was actually talking to a friend from the west coast when he said that. 😅

I know I'm probably not alone on this thought, but all the talk of online age verification from certain tech podcasts is really suss.

It feels like yet another thing wrapped up to control the internet and not as innocuous as a lot of people try to pass it off as

Lol. I ....uh....mignt have a copy of that as well...that was used Rather liberally.

Doing pretty well, just traveling and working. Working and traveling.

I spent the last week and a half in Oklahoma, and now I'm home for at least a week, I hope.

Brian Armstrong: let's create a DINO social protocol where our users can KYC themselves and then dump their bags on one another and empower creators to dump their bags in their followers.

And the list goes on and on. Spot the differences.

I guess I live under a rock, but Coinbase is trying to create social media now? The fuck?

Because as much as I love my current roommate, I'm really sick of people who don't do basic house chores. Now that I've been traveling for work, it's very apparent that I do all the fucking cleaning around here.

I think I need to make living alone a much higher priority than it has been on my list lately.

Laughing and crying. Seeing this at 2.30 in the morning. Knowing I have a flight at 6am. 🤣

Finally get to leave guymon tonight and drive down to Amarillo for my early flight in the morning. Assuming no delays ill be home by noon. 😭

I kind of hate baseball, but I had a lot of fun playing it Last time people dragged me out of my house to do it. Joints prolly helped.

I can take the .5 to 1 seconds it takes to tap out a pin.

⚠️URGENT⚠️ #AskNostr

Hey #nostr friends. Desperately need some help from the community.

My family has sadly been forced to leave our beloved home on very short notice due to state-level threats. Looking for some place quiet to rest and recover for a while until we decide our next steps.

Arrived safely in #CostaRica for now but also open to any interesting alternatives that nostriches around the world may be able to offer. Love nature, small villages, rural locations– not too crazy about cities. Have also considered Ecuador, Bali, Laos, Vietnam, Norway/Sweden… the list goes on. Let the universe decide!

Do you have a quiet, private place you could offer us for a few weeks / months? (We are willing to pay in sats!) Do you need a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter / home sitter while you are away for a while? Could you use a couple of hard-working volunteers for an eco project, organic farm or maybe a Bitcoin-based initiative somewhere in the world?

I worked as a travel photographer for about 12 years and have visited nearly 100 countries worldwide. My wife previously worked for a large international cultural organization and has a degree in Cultural Management and Education. We currently run a small scale farm ourselves and both have lots of experience tending both gardens and animals. I also have plenty of experience in landscaping, landscape design, and am willing to tackle any repairs, light carpentry, or home maintenance tasks I could help with. We are very tidy and trustworthy people and will absolutely treat your home or property with utmost respect and care.

Show us what magic nostr can offer! Would very much appreciate any leads, tips, ideas, work trades, etc to consider from the #nostr family in our time of need!

Please SHARE this note for visibility. 🙏

Seem to have woken up with an extra dose of cynicism this morning.

"Whatevers coming, get flexable. Get good, get good At thinking across disciplines."

You might include the reticulum protocol in this.

Depends. I use a mix of Lavender and citronella Essential oils mixed in water as a spray for while hiking for light mosquitoes. If they get really bad, nothing beats deet.

Yup! It's definitely bumfuck out here. I kind of like it though. I'm having a blast. Got the whole Mesa to myself. And it's country and terrain I've never seen before.

I can only laugh because kids get into the fucking everything and you have to be a complete dunce to leave something as important as your dad's ashes in a place where a kid can reach.

ok buddy. this touches the heart of my profession, so I feel compelled to add my take as a warning and maybe the entertainment of the others here. the author won't agree and I won't be compelled to start a discussion with them for obv reasons. I also don't mean this personally but I'm sure you know the feeling of responsibility when you see a scammer: you call them out.

so this is for anyone else:

a self-published solution to QG (quantum gravity) or a TOE (theory of everything) is a well-known red flag indicator for mental illness in the field of physics. there are many obscure publications like this on the internet. MAAAAAANY. they often "solve the universe". not a single one deserves your attention. if they did, they'd be published in a peer-reviewed journal like 99.99% of all real science, including the revolutionary stuff. and you'd be hearing about them from a nobel-prize committee, not on nostr.

this one, like so many others, is just confused poetry dressed in complicated words to make it sound legit. so here are dr. calle's red flag indicators for recognizing "theory of everything" mental illness papers on the internet:

- single author: even Einstein needed help

- no peer review: charlatans self-publish and often say they get censored etc. but in fact nobody would ever publish this stuff. imagine being mentioned as the reviewer of an article like this, it could end your career (remember, the author usually doesn't have a career to lose to begin with)

- no previous publications: sure, your first paper solves the universe. ordinary wednesday in Bitcoin.

- no affiliation: no university or real insition behind it (nobody would employ this person). sometimes a bs affiliation of a made up one-person "institute" with a complicated name is used.

- weird use of colors, fonts and layout, formatting. use of colored text, bold text, emphasis etc is very non-standard, legit papers do this only in rare cases. if the message is clear, you don't need it.

- "it explains literally everything": as with any mental illness, it rarely remains confined to the core problem but it captures everything. this paper not only solves the universe but also biology, economics, whatever.

I won't mention the most important indicator which is just a mumbo jumbo of words and maths that make no sense or gloss over HUGE gaps of knowledge. the author can play this trick because nobody ever is seriously going to critique their work. this is not obvious to the uninitiated and easier if you know a about the field.

keep your brain safe.

I am in no way a physics guy, but I've known a few people who've claimed to have solved perpetual motion and other highly unlikely things, and they were all certified batshit mentally ill.

DNSSEC nuked 2 of my domains yesterday 😅 on of them was for a mail server.

Just realized I'm wearing all green today. Socks, hat, shirt, pants, all different shades of green. Whoops. 😅

This dinner was special — the table was full of sharp, motivated Bitcoiners. We talked about everything from the future of Bitcoin to family, from macro and micro economics to why self-custody feels like a superpower. I love when the conversations keep flowing, honestly wish the night could’ve gone on longer.

Bitcoin is about people, not just protocol. It’s refreshing to sit down for a nice dinner with others who get it.

Shoutout to everyone here on Nostr from that dinner

Grateful for conversations that keep me sharp, humble, and bullish.

The restaurant was called LEVITATE

They served us a gastronomic experience based on unique ingredients from the four seasons in the Czech Republic.

My favorite dish was the ice-cream and caviar 🍨 (last photo) unfortunately I only remembered to take a photo after I started eating. Nevertheless the presentation of each plate was beautiful. #foodporn

The food looks amazing.

That's one of the skills where my game is definitely lacking. Despite working in a fancy Italian restaurant for six years of my life, they never put me on pasta duty. I was always doing prep or line cook. And so I never really got to pick up the intricacies of pasta making.

It's made by the writer who did cowboy bebop. The story is totally different, but it's got a very similar vibe.
