That video was shot 4 years before the song was published, and they were signed by a record company. Pretty crazy, huh?

It's such a classic!

The first ever performance of Kids by MGMT in 2003 by two frat boys who didn't know they had created a legend. https://video.nostr.build/2c694ee405bf0fa8312ec91e59a4bd68f488546e8836a7379c9a11cd37e475b2.mp4

I didn't realize it was so tiny. I thought it was about the size of a playing card, but that looks the size of small box of wooden matches

Neither. I'm not down with kings and monarchy. The only people that shit ever benefitted was the kings.

A few relatively simple rules in the beginning gives rise to the the complexity we see. Mathematical simulations of the universe from the moment of the Big Bang have revealed this. I'm not opposed to the idea of some creating force or entity, but I don't believe such a thing is necessary to explain the universe as we know it. It's a complicated topic that I, as a physics layperson, don't fully understand, but that's what I've heard from the physicists that do.

I feel like if there were more prominent, easily accessible chat rooms, it would go a long way.

GM fren! 🎉

You're actually lucky you didn't win. Because then you'd be hooked, and chasing that initial success. Same thing happened to me with scratch-offs. I bought one on my 18th birthday, and one $100. I spent the next 5 years buying those things hoping to repeat that early success. Never won again. And I wasted how much money on tickets chasing that one win? Same goes for short trades and leverage. You're lucky you lost and the sting kept you from messing with it again.

Similar, but different. Phoenix manages your channels automatically in the background without any user intervention. Zeus is basically a traditional lightning node in a mobile framework. You can open and close channels with any LSP, balance yout channels, establish peer connections, etc. I don't believe you have any of that functionality with Phoenix

Leverage and short trades are a very risky game. I guess you can win big if you nail it, but you can just as easily, or more easily, lose it all if the market doesn't move how you anticipate. I prefer the straightforward stack and hodl. The benefit is incremental, but there's no really any downside. I don't have the stomach for those gambles.

Yeah, it's a blind hardware signer. With Nunchuk, it basically uses the Tapsigner as a key so that the Tapsigner is called whenever you tap the button to sign your transaction. And Nunchuk manages backup creation as well, so that if you lose or destroy your Tapsigner, you'll be able to restore the backup to a software key so you can access your funds. I don't believe there's any fund limit imposed by Tapsigner. It should be able to sign transactions regardless of the size. Personally, I love it and it's been a great experience when paired with Nunchuk.

When I don't have a project, I get very restless. It often leads to me breaking shit just so I can fix it. I've never been great at enjoying stillness. I'll find something to work on. I always do 😉

Making the PDF reader universally free, and licensing it other devs so their formats can be easily converted had a lot to do with its ubiquity, and longterm success.

I feel like the original purpose of the PDF is nice; a universal document format that everyone can use regardless of their system. But it seems like it's got a bit more complicated over the past year or two.

Et tu, Cruton?

BUY. THE. DIP!

I feel kinda restless. I got my full Bitcoin node running. I've got my Lightning node running like a champ. My Nostr relay has been up for 2 months now and is running flawlessly with no issues (and some paid users!) Now I'm bored. I'm secretly hoping something breaks so I can get lost in the fix. I guess I should look for another project. Does anyone have any ideas? Preferably something Bitcoin or Nostr related, but I'm open to any rewarding challenge.

That's one of the benefits of being responsible for your own algorithm. You can decide who you want to be a part of your experience and the only impact yout choice has is with your own feed. I've noticed that people coming from other platforms take a minute to figure out that they are responsible for their own experience here, unlike the hellscapes they've come from. I find it liberating.

But isn't that the case for every consolidation?

Why?

They were. They objected to the US flying them back in cargo planes and requested that they be sent5in passenger planes. They then offered to fly them back at their own expense using their own planes, and Trump responded by pretending they were refusing to take their citizens back, and imposing this knee-jerk 50% tariff. This was all about grandstanding and making a show out of these unnecessary tariffs that will end up significantly raising the price of Colombian goods—primarily coffee—for the American people.

And he makes a mean Caesar salad dressing!

So you may actually need some of the larger size memory cards depending on your volume. Perhaps not 2TB, but maybe 1TB or 500GB. I still think it's wise to use the smallest drives to accommodate your output as it protects your work from csrd failure, but it probably wouldn't be practical to use an 8GB card for a day of shooting. I'd say 32GB is probably the minimum you should use, just so you can confortably shoot without needing to swap cards every 20min.

Nunchuk doesn't have a specific utxo manager, but it does have a "roll over" function that transfers all coins from one wallet to another. And in the process, it consolidates all the coins into a single coin in the new wallet.

You really like those octopi, huh? They are kinda cute. And they're incredibly intelligent animals.

Shooting what? You mean photography?

Yeah, I can't image a situation where I'd need 2TB of space on a drive that little. It's cool, but I'm rarely using that much storage on a mobile basis. I always buy the 10-packs of the industrial 8GB size. It only costs like $40 and I think it's better to have a lot of little drives than 1 giant drive.

Ok, but his writing is sorta besides the point. And have you ever read the shit Trump has written? It just seems like there's this double standard when it comes comparing Trump's actions with the related actions of foreign nations he doesn't like. He like to talk about fairness, yet nothing he does can reasonably be called fair. In this case, this whole issue could have been avoided with a phone call. Colombia proposed a solution to the conflict that was at their own expense, using their own planes, and rather than acknowledge that and make a deal (because we all know what a great dealmaker he is), is initiated a completely unnecessary trade war that will come at the expense of the American people. He still doesn't understand that the American people pay the tariffs he's imposing on other nations. And we'll pay for this too. Keep an eye on the price of coffee over the following days.

Wait... And you don't think Trump's emergency imposition of high tariffs on one our trade partners is ridiculous? It's the small country that's only reacting to Trump's actions that's at fault?

I don't use Apple products, so I have no horse in the race. Which client are using now? I thought Damus was the only native iOS client. Does Primal have an iOS app now?

Oh I'm not asking you to prove anything. I'm just not understanding the context. I don't know what this chart is, or how the catagories of programming and gaming relate to sexism. I'm not asserting a position, just trying to understand what we're actually talking about.

I don't get it. How does programming and gaming being at the bottom of an ambiguous chart equal sexism? What am I missing? 🤔
