I coach high school gymnasts and we tell them: "If you're sick (cold, flu, whatever), don't come to practice." Typical macho culture is to idealize Michael Jordan playing in the Finals(?) about to pass out from the flu.
But as coaches, we don't want half our team going down because Bob was so "brave" to come to practice when he was sick. In fact, Bob would be a shitty teammate if he showed up and ended up weakening our team. We care more about pragmatism than old-school notions of dedication at all cost.
And there's no guarantee that something that's mild for me would be the same for someone else. I sat next to a ~75yr old man at lunch today. Had I known at the time, I wouldn't have just sat there and thought, "pfft, I feel fine so I'm sure he'll be fine."
Not a boy, not a girl, it's... phlegm!
Yeah, the responsibility def shifts if people know yet still choose to interact with me.
It's just simple courtesy.
Someone rationally deciding that they're comfortable with a low probability risk is different from me knowing that my presence would change those probabilities significantly.
I did sort of wonder about that, but it would be shitty of me if I were to show up and encounter someone who did care or has to be more cautious.
Faaaak. So many amazing things about to start happening at Bitcoin Park tonight and throughout the week, so many awesome people streaming in as we speak... and now I'm isolating myself. 😭
Had a mild dry cough start yesterday, but thought it was just the dry A/C and not drinking enough water. Got suspicious when it continued this afternoon.
Sorry to the people I interacted with today.
As covid has become endemic, I know most people are a lot less worried about it, but still seems like isolating myself is the right thing to do, ya? Wouldn't be right to mingle with the 100+ people coming tonight, tomorrow nor the other 100 coming the rest of the week.
Just have to hope a rapid test flips to negative before I miss everything happening this week.
Until then... massive FOMO!!! 😭😭😭

When bitcoin hits $1mil / btc, how about Bitcoin Park takes over its next door neighbor?
No, TABConf maybe recorded the main stage but most of the conf is deliberately not streamed.
I have seen the future and it is `a380cb93`!!
The likely nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl v0.7.0 release build hash. Not official until it's official, but should be finalized soon!
"It's raining, there's waters on my window."
"Ah, I love hiking, breathe in those fresh airs!"
"Ug, the beach, I have sands in my shoes."
Soon-to-be-officially-released @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl v0.7.0 reproducible build in progress while chilling at Bitcoin Park, my home base for the week!
ATROCIOUS.
Singular "bitcoin" for the whole unit. "bitcoins" is Boomer shit no matter which level of denomination we're talking about.
Plural "sats" for the fractional unit. It just sounds cool.
tfw you:
* buy your TABConf tix as soon as they're available: 🔥💪
* but forget that OpenNode supports LN and you pay onchain: 😬😢

I dunno, Nashville seems a whole lot like Chicago.
"Bonsai", ser. Not to be confused with "Banzai".
