When a boomer told me to just make a LinkedIn page, I knew it was over for LinkedIn.
Unless doing that somehow degrades security... Idk. Might be similar to sharing xpubs... Idk.
So unnecessary. Just sign a message with your key. No transaction necessary, no custody necessary, perfect proof.
I think this actually happens.
I thought y'all were all chummy behind the scenes
🤔 The missing ingredient for that thing you're thinking about is : good conversation. Build it around conversation, and it will be a success.
If it serves a purpose, that's different. I'm bitching about suburban lawns. NPC traps.
I saw a really cool mini park in China that was actually a nicely disguised drain and water recycler for a water treatment plant. It was a little marsh with a raised wooden walkway above it. It didn't stink at all. Tons of wildlife... Dudes with buckets would go there at night to catch bullfrogs, which they sold to restaurants. Anything like that in the west would get accolades and articles and awards, but there it was totally run-of-the-mill.
I think I might try replicating at least the idea someday by connecting an off grid toilet to a little controlled marsh. Grass would be a no-no - a rock wall on two or three sides would look better.
That's awesome. And from the pictures you share, probably close to the ocean too.
I was just about to hit the delete button on this note. Too disjointed. No one will get how art can be in architecture. What I was originally trying to say was the engineers have it more figured out than the artsy fartsy architects, because the art has to flow from the function, instead of the function fitting into the art. The cut on my hand made me truncate my thinking.
GN for real this time. Hopefully
Ya know what's really wrong with architecture? The art in it is "try-hard." It's so try-hard, even the regular boxes the engineers come up with are better.
Here's the thing about art... there are only basically two messages in any art : the pain of the artist, or the pain of the observer. Both, usually. Even serene scenes still only speak to the pain you feel, oftentimes a pain of losing something that never was.
What passes as architecture is about as artistic as a Japanese dude's hair. Stupid angles going all directions and held in place by an invisible hardened gel, and stupid colors sprayed into the ends. That's modern architecture. Retards.
My hand hurts. I'm going to bed!
1 hour before is definitely preferable
I got sliced up by a cat. She was playing, got carried away. Now, if I hold this flap of meat against the other flap of meat... It looks like sushi... I bet I can knit it up by morning. Only one cut vein... we're good. Only a little dizzy... No probs here. Not a problem...
Wow... Its amazing, the people I've befriended on nostr. Do y'all have any idea how genuinely truly retarded I am? Anyways. Yeah...
Hmm 🤔 what I'd pay.... I am a cheapskate... But I was very close to paying Alby, so that's an acceptable ballpark, whatever that was. It was the fiddly that made me think twice. It might not be fiddly, idk, but just the thought...
You should totally do it. I bet nvk here can help in some way. Ehh, sorry for volunteering you like that. But still. Make it happen!
I bet there's grants available for getting a YouTube replacement on nostr. Idk how it works, but I bet an experienced dev could do alright with it. I have lots of bets tonight...
Never could get into D&D, but if I did... Rogue, if that's considered a class. Sneaky dagger dude with dark bags under his eyes and maybe a few magic tricks in his pockets, and coins and other shiny oddments have a habit of disappearing in his vicinity.
This is the thing that would motivate me to upgrade my nostr experience. There's a gajillion doodadamajigs all y'all techy peeps are doing and it just looks too fiddly to interest me. But a truly FOSS replacement for YouTube? Yes.
Nice. I like Brazil.
Korean movies are pretty good, ngl
Just passed by some people watching Netflix. If your TV show turns into gay porn, do you keep watching that shit? Disgraceful.
Uh oh... It was a trap. Gotta stay off lists

Also really wish this guy was still around...
Anytime I think, "I like this business, I'd buy stock in it," I always find that its a privately held company. Only low quality companies are issuing stonks, and it's because "investors" are chumps.
Also : why does mainstream media/doctors push "cholesterol is bad"?
Cholesterol is literally the basic building block used in tissue construction and repair. A lack of cholesterol accelerates aging.
Dudes need to hear this. Err, read it.
Kinda reminds me of a cat dropping a headless mouse at your feet. "I like this - here, for you!"
If you don't already have this, consider starting a ladies' group where you can safely out the dudes who did that and anything else like that
Aha! Now we're getting to the truth!
What's a clever way of asking if someone online is a dude or a dudette, without actually asking? I'm thinking of a poll where it would be relevant, but feel like directly asking would be annoying. The reason for the question is because different psychologies would tend produce different results. This is probably always the case, so having a stock question would be convenient. Ideas?
Major points for seeing that that's what the Great Wall of China was for. It makes absolutely no sense for any other reason.
This is why I think we need to focus on travel and shipping. We have to own that space. We can't be captives to a state, and we might need to help each other out. Permissionlessness doesn't mean much without permissionless travel.
🤔 I wonder if officials ever find themselves in the news saying things they actually didn't say
I think he's just harvesting buckets of piss. That's my American take on the Bri-ish phrase, "taking the piss."
What about the mass of the uranium changing? And the difference in spectrometry?
Lez dooit.
I just wouldn't do the walls. I'd make it open, and try to maximize mobility. Mobility, IMO, is the first pillar of liberty. Its definitely the most important thing on a battlefield. Also walls are easily repurposed to cage the populace, regardless of their ostensible intent.
Fair points, but I feel like they're still coming from utopian thinking, although they are true and valuable thoughts.
Oligarchs are always chipping away at democracy, even if they have the best intentions. And I use "oligarch" very broadly - everyone from corrupt congressmen to corporations (and their shareholders) benefiting from government spending. I'm also not saying capitalism is bad - I'm a capitalist : anarcho capitalist, specifically - or that corporations are bad. But as long as the political framework is democracy, the system will trend towards corruption. That's because of two reasons : people are incentivized to take from other people, and they vote that way ; and as long as its possible to take from other people, oligarchs will use the power of the state to enrich themselves.
What's the limit to their theft? The only limit is when force rises to meet their force. This is usually a cost/benefit calculation, since credible resistance rarely materializes. The more centralized the state, the more theft. If it costs more to send thugs to steal (taxes, levies, prohibitions, licenses) than the state can afford, they won't do it - so in edge cases, freedom can exist, but only because innovation hasn't yet allowed the ravaging democracy to steal more by saving costs. The edge cases all disappear in the long run.
Banning a whole category of thing is insane. They could've just had recycling that works.
These snakes, native to Europe, were once found slithering all over the floors of certain temples, particularly the Asclapieia, which were part temple and part bath house and part apothecary. The priests of an Asclepieion were healers who emulated their order's founder, the god Asclepion.
Asclepieia were all over the Hellenic world - basically the eastern half of the Mediterranean. Notably, one is mentioned in the Gospel of John (John 5:2), where it is called the bathhouse of Bethesda. A cripple was there trying and failing to be healed by the supposedly healing water of the bath. Jesus drops by and fixes him up.
I suppose you could say he actually did get healed at the temple... Venturing a little into the speculative, one might notice a similarity between the name of one of the daughters of Asclepion - Iaso, who was also a healer - and Jesus' name, if pronounced correctly. Aren't coincidences fun?
Back to the snake, you can imagine how it could become a symbol of healing. Rats bring disease ; snakes eat rats ; snake good.
What an experience it must've been! Imagine entering a temple and smelling the incense and offerings burning, while these snakes slithered across the floor. No worries - they're non-venomous.
Snakes in the hellenic world also symbolized the spinal column. The cult of Asclepius is basically the same cult as the Egyptian snake cult, which also might have made an appearance in the Bible during the showdown between Moses and the priests. The Greek Asclepius was a mythologized version of the Egyptian architect Imhotep, who was a member of the snake cult.
The caduceus is still the symbol of the healing arts. Although mostly associated with Hermes, it originated in the Asclepieion. A staff entwined by snakes - the symbolism couldn't get any more obvious - it's the spinal column.
Considering how the staff is used in mythology, the snakes also represent the mental energies flowing up from the base of the spine to your head, where your single eye is located. Speaking of which, the single eye rabbit hole is fascinating... But that'll be a different note.
