Becoming stoical is much more difficult than understanding #Stoicism.

Here are some #tips. 🪡🧵

GM!

They look familiar...

Oh 😰 I was just watching and it was ok. We have had some problems with @zap.stream for a few weeks

😂 you know recipes are flexible as long as you have enough milk.

Sounds like a challenge! 😂

Looks exactly like it should!

Got ya! Abs are made in the kitchen, exercise is 20% max. Point remains that if you eat more than you burn, you put on weight.

To clarify: what kind of fork?

Definitely don't ever trust a Luke.

I've asked him if he's open to other developers working on Knots, and he said he is. He's said the same publicly, I believe.

At least Knots appears to be doing what it advertises. And it does what I want, at that. So I use it.

Other clients may be coming. But it takes a while to develop.

For now, I'm at least happy for the optionality that Knots provides. If nothing else, it lets me ignore Core and prevents their implementation from being unanimous. It highlights the problem.

The Knots vs Core debate has a strange dividing line: philosophical concerns vs technical ones.

I also like the framing that those who prioritize Bitcoin as money are taking the Knots side, and those who prioritize Bitcoin as technology are taking the Core side.

I know what is more important for me. Bitcoin the technology is only relevant because it solves the problem of money for the world. Bitcoin is money. The technology is just the enabler.

Making Bitcoin worse at being money is a bad thing. The arguments for enabling spam for technical reasons make no sense to me. This makes Bitcoin worse as money. I'm not in favor of that. At all.

Vanity reasons. And because I don’t like feeling like a chubster. What are fork downs?

Often it is. In the case of exercise, now that does require something a little more active!

😏

Ohh dude.

First thing - don't use olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil mayonnaise tastes horrible & you can't trust light olive oil hasn't been blended with rapeseed.

Use liquid coconut oil (aka MCT oil). You can buy it in the supermarket these days.

My recipe (I usually 2x or 3x it) is:

1 egg

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Blend this with a stick blender & then while blending, pour in the oil until it gets to mayonnaise thickness. The more oil, the thicker it gets.

I've never had mine split.

Wow I had no idea, that’s so wild. Sounds like you scored, nothing better than being able to literally taste the fruits of your labor.

I have a meyer lemon tree and an orange tree which existed when we moved in. So nice to have an endless amount of fruit on deck. Started an avocado tree from a pit a few years ago…just last week I grafted it with a branch from a producing plant. Hoping to have some avos in maybe 5 years haha. Gotta maintain that low time preference and enjoy the process. 🤙

I like to keep abreast of the normie influence and troll the influencers who are preaching nonsense

I'm sure you are feeling great after 3 weeks carnivore.

freshly ground nut butter 🤤

What is the best tool to sharpen a machete to chop down banana trees?

They updated guidance on ATM usage below 2.5 MNAV. Revising right after the earnings call wasn’t ideal, but I’d rather see a fast correction than a lingering error. Trailblazers will have the occasional misstep.

GM! Anyone need an allosaurus head? Or a megalodon tooth?

I do so much crap wrong technically - but God, I’m glad I’m here 💜🚀🙏

Can confirm I read this 💪

Of all the content I’ve consumed in my life, 99.999% of it was produced after the Industrial Revolution.

Of all the humans who ever existed on Earth, ~95% of them lived before the Industrial Revolution.

I’ve thought about this a lot this year in my reading. The disparity indicates we moderns think humans knew little of value despite their mass existence over time. And its true they can’t inform us much of anything with regards our modern technology, but they had plenty worthwhile to say about the most important technologies that existed before we came to view only machines, as tech.

With this in mind I’ve completed my next read for #bookstr - The Spirit of the Law by Charles Montesquieu.

We are born into this world as fish in water, swimming in a sea of laws and regulations which we don’t understand the first things about other than, they apply and there are consequences if we don’t follow them. We’re never taught why they exist, or how they came to be.

And that’s what this book does a great job of doing. Ok, it’s 270 years old, so it’s not going to explain MANY things, but it covers a 2000+ year history of different societies and the laws they had, and seeks to understand why they had them.

It’s very interesting. He traces where power was diffuse through different branches (church, state, local etc.), the actual nature of “servitude” in the Middle Ages, how different peoples adopted different principles, how rulers successfully maintained order, how laws evolved, and importantly, how systems evolved.

He’s very much a “Statist”, but not in the sense we understand it today. He’s describing how order was kept across different peoples of different natures in different times and places. The intention of laws. The “spirit”. Not arbitrary governance for the sake of power, but how good and bad laws come to be and how we should understand them in historical context.

I won’t say it’s fascinating because at times its very dry and meanders through things which just aren’t interesting.

But it’s worthwhile. To understand the waters in which we swim. To understand the Chesterton’s Fence principles of why modern law is so fucked after so much was changed that really should not have been.

I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone other than nerds though. But if you really want to understand how “the system” came to be, the evolutions which laid the foundations for liberalism and communism and socialism and managerialism and everything in between, there are good foundations in here worth understanding.

I am not an "OG". I didn't have a large % of wealth in #Bitcoin until 2018.
