The more I look at Nostr, the more I see the strongest network effect of any digital ecosystem I’ve ever studied

TFW you chase squirrel too far up

If renewing license tabs wasn’t enough of a reminder why to hate government, have you tried their easy online renewal?

Website: “enter license # and dob”

Me: *types*

Site: “you have vehicles registered to you, click to continue”

Me: click

Site: “please login, enter username/email and password”

Me: *types email and password*

Site: “your account is deactivated, click here to reactivate”

Me: “ok how often do I have to renew my plates to keep my account activated” 🤦‍♂️*click*

Site: “get email, text to you phone on file, or phone call”

Me: “text”

Site: “enter text passcode”

**phone buzz**

Me: *passcode*

(Skip ahead 10 minutes and 5 more texted passcodes to THE NUMBER ON FILE and finally logged in)

Site: “Welcome back Luke, before you can proceed, please verify your phone number”

Me: “FOR FUCK SAKE REALLY” 🤦‍♂️

This is my Dobby, btw

My phone is basically unusable due to all of these political text messages.

Gm nostriches. Happily got my kid’s junior isa transferred from vanguard (they have some pretty good barriers in place), then had to complete a form so I could access US equities (because uk firms are a bit shit), then aped her into $mstr. During Thursday and Friday she got a better return than the prior 3 years in Vanguard.

Also, she already has her #bitcoin stack but using the system to help her accumulate “cash” for spending for when she’s 18 tax free, rather than generational wealth for her grandkids.

Massive nostalgia on the way home from the fiat mine yesterday, may not have been the year of my first “proper mountain bike”, v brakes were a lovely addition compared to mine, but was the same model as my ‘92 gt timberline!!!! #bikestr

Time for me to start prioritising what I used to love and bike more combined with fiat less.

I refuse to watch a single ad on any platform ever. Fuck ads.
