Stakeout has some great characters and dialogue.

A good ol' beer in a decent tankard? Cheers.

Felices Fiestas.

Is Nostr the killer bitcoin app?

X? pah! A big waste of your emotional energy. You going there is like Michelangelo painting windows instead of Vatican ceilings.

Another track towards the #12songsofChristmas thread- Leicester Rock - I was thinking Kasabian with this one! https://cdn.satellite.earth/48ff0348f063153cc111821600e81beaebc7fc96353140fc41aaed360e222998.mp3

Hope someone out there likes it. I'm not one of those arty types who needs endorsing else "Christmas is ruined" - but if you've heard worse or have any ideas on improving on the idea feel free to let rip...

No such thing as groundhog day in this decentralised wild west!

Spot on thinking! Have 100 sats for sharing that idea :)

Fund both sides is a good business tactic.

Add mainstream media to the list of charlatans doing investors a disservice by ripping into BTC with fud.

Imagine if the BBC govt shills had said at the lat halvening in 2020, blow £10 in BTC to see for yourself what a scam bitcoin the ocean boiling terrorist funding POS is.

They would have earnt enough by now to pay for their govt propaganda TV license.

Spain is still a country where you can get far from the madding crowd with few touch points, if you so choose.

Spain. It is the same story all over rural Spain. Rural depopulation writ large.

Oh, I don't remember doing that. It's not something I would do but I must have. So thanks for the explanation.

So a burner nostr account for zapping would overcome one side of the privacy issue.

On Amethyst how did I come to be following myself?

According to modern society valuations, the property and this piece of garden has almost no value. It doesn't hurt to be out of step with what the mainstream thinks!

Make zap and like displays an option not a default from on high

Another big issue that has been bothering me this week is living in cities.

A good friend has offered me their place in town over Xmas, to chill, watch movies, be warm, have a break from rustic life.

Two days in, I'm sorry, but I feel stressed, and not a little dead inside. The house is modern with the usual mix of comfort and gadgets. But even with the heating off, the neighbours are cranking out so much, it is soporific unless the windows are open.

And cooking on electric, jeez, that's not cooking. And the fridge is full.

And at night, it's a choice of a million movies and TV channels, and food and..nodding off.

There's no connection to outside, can't see the sky, it's an effort to walk to a park to see green. The air is full of diesel. The noise my god, there is no let up.

And now the comfort is doing my back in.

And what is lost on my friend is that I have animals, so there is no break as such, I still have to leave town to look after them.

And in less glam conditions in a stone caseta I don't fall asleep in front of TV, and can just step out and breathe clean air and spot the Plough and listen to the wind and go to sleep in a cold, completely dark and silent room and wake up refreshed.

And I can cook on gas for next to nothing and store all the food I like in a space that gets naturally cold in winter with zero refrigeration tech nexessary. And no gadgets to break down and require calling in a service company because that's all you are allowed.

Modern idea of good living conditions in cities is mental. It's false. No wonder there are so many cost and anxiety issues in society.

Or maybe I have it all backwards.

Have a boost and a zap :) Last couple of days been feeling like a crazy person, out of step with a few things that seem to be accepted as normal. You have put my mind at rest that there is at least one other person questioning the zap approach. Thanks!
