-THE ISLAND LIFE-

In 1892, a hot potato vendor peddles his wares on the busy streets of Manhattan, offering a popular and simple snack to New Yorkers. Known as “Mickeys,” these hot, baked potatoes were a beloved street food in the late 19th century. Vendors like this one would walk the city, selling the warm, starchy potatoes wrapped in paper or cloth. They were not just a quick and affordable snack but also served a practical purpose during cold weather, as many people would carry them in their pockets to use as makeshift hand warmers on frigid days.

Hot potatoes were especially popular among the working class and immigrants in Manhattan, providing both sustenance and warmth for those on the go. Street vendors were a common sight in the city during this period, offering an array of cheap and accessible food options for a rapidly growing urban population. The hot potato, often eaten in between work shifts or on the way home, was part of a broader culture of street food that provided comfort and nourishment amidst the hustle of daily life.

The tradition of selling hot potatoes, with their dual function as both a snack and a source of warmth, represents a unique aspect of the urban experience in 19th-century New York. This photograph not only captures a moment in the life of a street vendor but also reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness of city dwellers who found practical solutions to everyday needs. The image provides a nostalgic glimpse into the past, showcasing a time when simple pleasures like a warm potato could provide both sustenance and a small respite from the harsh realities of city life.

Still spending every day walking, working hard, and eating right.

Yesterday I hit a new pull-up personal best with six in a row at the end of a workout. Not bad, considering I could barely do one at the start of summer.

Keep grinding ✌️

Is there a DVM that suggests new npubs to follow?

Just know the kid gonna hate you for the rest of his life

First 50 kilograms are lifted up the stairs and unboxed, floor tiles are done 💪. The walking pad is too big and heavy to lift today, so a 30kg package is blocking my hallway currently. Wall panels will arrive in 10 days. #homegym #gym #workout

Watched a few episodes of FBI last night and my takeaway is that they're constantly turning victims or witnesses into committing crimes or get themselves killed. If the TV show is a reflection of the real work of the FBI then the takeaway is don't talk to the FBI. Not as witness, not as victim. Get as far away from them as you can before you get injured or worse.

Probably one of the worst law enforcement shows I've ever watched. Pure incompetence in every episode.

Meet our Hero of the Day

Being a dentist doesn't make you an expert in the effects of water flouridation on the human body. And your singular opinion on the matter doesn't negate the decades of empirical evidence, and comprehensive research that the scientific consensus is based on. You're making an argument from authority—an established logical fallacy. Science is based on a body of peer-reviewed research and data, not the opinions or beliefs of someone with claimed expertise. And you know that.

Actually, I think society would be better off if more people were consuming regular doses of lithium! Although you are right that I wouldn't support treating our water with it. However, if the evidence and scientific consensus supported the use of lithium in the water, I would have to seriously reevaluate my position on it. Because I'm not an expert, and I'm not qualified to contradict the science. I have to rely on the empirical evidence, and relevant subject-matter expert consensus to base my beliefs on.

If the the weight of the evidence, and scientific consensus shows that flouridation is actually more harmful than helpful, and that its use is no longer justifiable, I would defer to the consensus and support ending flouridation. Again, because I'm not an expert, or in a position to declare that the scientific consensus is wrong, I have to go with the current scientific position. But I also understand and accept that not everyone views it the way I do, and I respect anyone who presents their views respectfully, and with reason.

It's not intended to fix all dental issues. Its purpose is to decrease the amount of tooth decay in the general population, particularly in children. And in that goal, it has been wildly successful. Also, the miniscule amount of flouride used in the water supply has no adverse impact on animals, nor does it interfere with beer brewing. So, I don't think those arguments are particularly compelling.

The one argument I consider valid and worthy of debate is the matter of flouridation conflicting with notions of informed consent, and the imposition of flouridation on persons who specifically don't want it. Given that the scientific consensus is firmly on the side of flouridation, and that its safety and efficacy has been roundly established in the nearly 75 years its use has been official US policy, I think the matter of informed consent would be the most productive, and intellectually sound argument to focus on.

I don't know if they're really lesser known, but PictureMushroom, LeafSnap & AllTrails, would all be so neat with nostr integration. Maybe there's some lesser known versions that would be willing? Also Scout To Hunt... they're very obviously bitcoiners lol

Boxing scoring uses a system called the "10-point must system." Here's how it works:

* 10-Point Must: At least one fighter must receive 10 points per round, unless there's a point deduction.

* 10-9 Round: The most common score. Awarded to the fighter who clearly won the round.

* 10-8 Round: Given when one fighter dominates the round, often with a knockdown or significant damage.

* Point Deductions: Can occur for fouls like hitting below the belt or excessive holding.

Scoring Criteria:

* Punching Accuracy and Power: Landing clean, hard punches is crucial.

* Ring Generalship: Controlling the pace and distance of the fight.

* Defense: Effectively avoiding punches and counterpunching.

* Aggression: Showing initiative and attacking.

Outcome:

* Unanimous Decision: All three judges score the fight for the same winner.

* Majority Decision: Two judges score for one fighter, one for the other.

* Split Decision: Two judges score for one fighter, one for the other.

* Draw: Judges disagree on the winner.

Remember: Scoring is subjective, and judges may have different interpretations of the fight.
