HA! Yea, he was already a scumbag fucking contractors over in my hood back in the 80s - no blinders to remove here kid.

Is a grifting douch so bullshit to that nonsense......

I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of humming as I work! : )

My "Hello World" project was certainly the first step in making this happen, so thank you walker!

I've since ported that project to many languages and open sourced it all!

You're all welcome! : )

This is a 10 - I'm trying to say it in my head with the Aussie accent - crack at your wife has me fn rolling!

In related news: the "no sunscreen needed" youngins's are gonna have their own oh shit moment in 20 years as well : )

Guys that can't control their own sperm are the cause of every unplanned pregnancy. If we held men 100% financially accountable for their own cum shot, it would all go away. Incentives matter....

I’m pretty sure ChatGPT offered a better response to what is bitcoin than 99% of people can give for the everyday person:

“…

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that allows peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks or governments. It was introduced in 2009 by an anonymous person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.

Key Features of Bitcoin:

1. Decentralized: Bitcoin operates on a distributed ledger called the blockchain, maintained by a network of computers (nodes) worldwide.

2. Limited Supply: There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins, making it deflationary by design.

3. Blockchain Technology: Each transaction is recorded in a block and added to the blockchain in a secure and transparent manner.

4. Anonymity: Bitcoin transactions do not require personal information, but they are pseudonymous; all transactions are publicly visible on the blockchain but tied to wallet addresses, not real identities.

5. Mining: New bitcoins are created through a process called mining, where computers solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and secure the network.

How is Bitcoin Used?

• As a Currency: For buying goods and services, though its adoption for this purpose varies.

• As an Investment: Many see Bitcoin as “digital gold,” used as a store of value or speculative investment.

• For Transfers: Used to transfer money quickly across borders, often with lower fees than traditional systems.

Bitcoin’s value and use cases depend on factors like market demand, regulation, and technological developments.

I'm approaching the crossroads where I don't care that ChatGPT will know more about me than anyone else because its so fucking helpful to me - argh the matrix is eating my brain and I'm helping it HA

I'm done with the carnivore diet. 🐄

I defeated carb addiction, and boosted my testosterone with lifestyle changes, in 5 months.

Long read:

I'm currently 5 months into a cut, working on reducing body fat. Before that, I ate a carnivore diet for 5 years, paleo/keto since 2011.

I agreed to add 60g of carbs pre-workout at the start of my cut, per my trainer. Also 1g protein/lb body weight, with fat for the remaining calories.

Carb addiction is something I battled my entire life. Moderation was impossible for me - the cravings were the worst! Keto and carnivore diets can be lifesaving for people with this issue.

That said, I still couldn't lose stubborn body fat, so I was willing to make changes.

The cut was going great initially, but my energy levels dropped off a couple months in. I felt like a zombie. I knew at some point it could happen, and I know hormones are impacted by a cut.

I had blood work done pre-cut, and my total testosterone was 575ng/dL. Normal for a mid-40s man, and I always felt great & healthy. No complaints!

10 weeks later: total T dropped to 205 ng/dL. 😲

My body was telling me something needed to change.

For the first time in nearly 15 years, I switched to a high carb diet. I started eating 165g carbs per day, timed around pre & post workout meals.

My weight skyrocketed ~10lbs, even with only 1885 calories/day. Most of that was likely water weight, but my workouts at the gym started progressing at crazy levels, likely because of increased muscle growth.

Even so, it felt bad seeing that scale number shoot up when I'm trying to *lose* weight. I rolled with it, understanding that body recomposition can take many months.

By the end of November I felt incredible. Energy through the roof, huge mood improvements, etc. The carbs were working! So I decided to get more blood work done. The results?

Total testosterone jumped to 1005 ng/dL. Free testosterone 205.2 pg/mL. 🤯

This...WAS a surprise, to say the least. WOW!

My long break from carbs helped overcome the addiction and cravings. For the first time I can moderate these foods with ease. This is the biggest win so far, and I've had a lot of W's recently.

My perfect diet down the road (post-cut), will still be heavy on beef, but also foods like fruit & honey. Never processed garbage.

It took a long time to fix this issue, but it's real growth to be able to have a healthy relationship with carbs. I still have a ways to reach my current goal, and lots of building to do after that, but I thought I'd share this interesting development.

Can't say I expected my total T to drop 50%, and then nearly 5x within a few months, like it was the #Bitcoin price chart. 😂

(FYI: all blood work took place early AM in a fasting state)

Awesome! Thanks for laying it all out, inspiring shit man!

My global play count tells me i'm a Deadhead hippy in the Offspring mosh pit : )

As a music head, now that the dust has settled on the renting vs owning music services, is it better to have access to everything or own just some things?

I still have "The Wad" of music ripped from all my friend's CDs back in the day, but I really love being able to listen to anything at anytime - if kids today never own music do they risk being cut off someday?

I’m relatively new to the crypto space. I’ve been lurking for years, and and while I like to think I have a decent understanding for someone new, I’ve noticed something kinda lame that I want to call (some) of this community out for, and I hope this is received well.

Too many people in this space act like crypto is an exclusive club, and anyone outside of it is clueless.

Nostr feels more welcoming than platforms like Twitter or Reddit, but even here, I see posts that shame people for not catching on as quickly as others. Take a step back. If you’re truly “bullish” on the freedom and potential that #Bitcoin can create, why the constant condescension?

Whether it’s a lack of social awareness or a misunderstanding of human nature, this attitude doesn’t help. If we want to grow this space for the betterment of humankind, we need to stop acting like it’s a cliquish secret society.

People will join this revolution ONLY if they feel like it’s a revolution that WANTS them to join.

Let’s make crypto as inclusive as the ideals it stands for. Real change can happen if we treat people with kindness and respect YES, EVEN IF THEY DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BITCOIN.

Guys like nostr:npub1spdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpslcq6j7 are out here doing the lords work and showing how amazing and applicable this technology is all the while teaching my dumb ass about how not to lose your private key 😂

I rarely ever put out a negative opinion anywhere to the public, but I do believe in Bitcoin and I’m optimistic about our future.

This rant comes from a place of love and hope that it is received that way ❤️

Here is a photo in case you do t wanna read any of that and wanna see a pretty picture.

Anyone busting your balls about how fast you learn a new thing is a douch - just ignore that shit.

You have access to some of the smartest fuckers around here in Nostrville and if you come humble, they will spit knowledge and encouragement for sure.

My 2 Sats: bitcoin is crypto, but crypto is not bitcoin. That's one to understand right out of the gate if you want to avoid being misunderstood.

Have fun.
