"Autumn" weather in Barcelona is so perfect it can be boring. 
In case you missed it, the timing of Gary's latest waste of taxpayer's money going after Kraken, perfectly coordinated with the DOJ's extortion/bribe (take it as you will) of funds from Binance, just when the market has been in the up "out of schedule" is, at least, curious. Isn't it?
OK so 24 hours have past since the US government latest attempt to crash the market to make it easier for their bankster cronies to grab BTC (and crypto-assets) on the cheap. But it looks like the market doesn't care much anymore about such banana republic pseudo judiciary shenanigans anymore. It's excellent news, indeed.

This has long been my thesis too. Cooptation and a white list of State-approved addresses. I don't see a way around it, unfortunately. nostr:note177lhs89j2y3nuuv9ald5hd6xgdzcjjdsct9qcfxgzp4kj68yag2qhl3h4w

The other one is buying when I'm high, and selling when I'm feeling low.
That's what I always say about beef. 100% plant-based protein.
Ahhhh, it's that setting then. It's always approx. 10 relays indeed. Solved!
If you think CZ and/or Binance are guilty of something, then this is plain and simple corruption (bribing an agency with funds to pay salaries, bonuses, etc). If you don't, then it's plain and simple criminality (extortion, blackmail...)
Is Rumble down?
It's been exactly a year since I broke ground on Coracle in earnest.
In that time I have:
- Written the coolest software I've ever put together
- Made an incredible number of incredible friends
- Moved to Texas and back
- Gone to my first bitcoin conference, and my first nostr conference
- Started an LLC and received my first ever grant
- Got paid in bitcoin
- Welcomed my fourth son into the world
- Quit my fiat job (which is still an awesome company)
- Started a podcast
- Drunk a whole lot of coffee
Thank you to everyone who encouraged me, used my software, funded me, hugged me, and helped me. I won't mention the 500+ people that are probably on that list, but special thanks to npub194dkgpxl2vk7pqkeualh7sjh5m6rldumh80gm5av0h67d494qzcqum2u20 and nostr:nprofile1qqs2wjddsttqz54znuegw2u3urkkm83qqmtnf0mefq44l7j0aq3g6acpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8nhwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhgtcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0sgg08h for their quiet, constant support of my work.

I'm not going to stop, and I know neither are the rest of you psychopaths. Keep building, joking, hacking, and zapping. I am frankly terrified to see where nostr ends up a year from now.
Finally, be excellent to each other! Don't lose perspective, remember that the goal is to build a new internet that builds people up instead of tearing them down. Forgive one another, and learn to ask for forgiveness. Don't let your ego get in the way of healthy competition and cooperation. By grace only can we do what we've set out to do.
"Return, O Lord! How long?
And have compassion on Your servants.
Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
The years in which we have seen evil.
Let Your work appear to Your servants,
And Your glory to their children.
And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands."
Psalm 90:13-17
Coracle has become my deskptop client of choice. My only issue is that it never seems to publish to more than a few relays, inconsistently. Is this a hardcoded, conscious design decision?
Don’t let lazy media convince you Milei is “Argentina’s Trump.” He’s a hardcore libertarian and Austrian economist. Does that mean he’s a savior that will fix all that ails Argentina? Of course not. But at least understand what’s going on. Real analysis here: https://youtu.be/o_tEpEqiRzY?si=6s-zKYOhsbeFzMxX
Oh, you're on the Nostr? Nice. Reason is doing a decent coverage of Milei's rise. I loved the video with Gloria Álvarez. It's good that you give voice to people who believe freedom is not fractional: it applies to economic policy, but also to social policy.
In the Spanish-speaking world there's a really dangerous movement from very extreme and very real ultra right wing elements to coopt the label, rhetoric and international clout that "libertarianism" and more diffusely "anti-globalism" and "anti-socialism" gives them.
They're basically a mixture of supporters of the various military regimes that most if not all Spanish-speaking countries, Spain first and foremost, have endured, with ultra-fundamentalist Catholic elements, and ultranationalists (especially in Spain), and only superficially adherents to some pro-market policies -- which must always be subordinated to "national interest", of course as defined by them. In other words, good old fascism.
Check out those labels, see if they're treated. If they are, it's nothing that'll kill you, but you're paying for bleaching agents and water 🤷🏻♂️
Do you mean the "Dólar Blue"? That's the actual market exchange rate, as opposed to the government's official rate. These were the rates last Friday, for reference. 
Absolutely not. Scallops is one of those things that less is more.
I would say only, pick a good product that's all natural and not treated.
Usually frozen is better than "fresh" (defrosted and soaked in chemicals and water to bleach them white and make them heavier with water), and Japanese (Hokkaido) scallops are simply the best in the world. Also there's plenty of sustainable options (look for MSC certified product).
