Better the protector than the handle!
Merry Christmas man.
I've missed seeing & hearing you.
I hope & trust you're living your best life.

I don't know so much, I try not to judge what other people do with their permissionless money.
Bitcoin changed the way I viewed & interacted with the world. I thought I was weird until I saw that it was changing others in a similar way.
My mistake was assuming that it had the same impact on everyone. I've met such a wide variety of Bitcoiners from so many different backgrounds that are at so many different places on their Bitcoin journey.
One of the most interesting questions you can ask a bitcoiner is 'what is Bitcoin to you?'
It's surprising just how diverse these answers are.
Oh that's pretty unique!
I'm going to have to try that. Thank you 🫂
Just so you know for next spring, they grow really easily from woody cuttings.
Just cut a length from a plant & then when you get it home, it into lengths about 20cm, remove the leaves & stick them in soil. Super easy.
We've hit 33 now, according to BoM the forecast was for 32 but I reckon it'll get a little hotter yet.
The flowers or berries? I've never heard of using them in pancakes, just for making syrup.
I planted a little cutting last autumn & I pruned it to a stump early spring. It's grown another 7ft in 3 months.
Cool plant!
Yeah we've just had our summer solstice.
Christmas is always hot & we traded the Turkey for prawns, oysters & fresh fruit.
Merry Christmas nostr!
I'll be spending the day by the pool trying to stay cool in 30⁰C heat & 99% humidity.
My elderberry flowers looked especially Christmassy this morning
Some gifts are priceless.
This probably wasn't one of them!
Have a great day. Remember to stay cool & hydrated!
I once went vegan for 5 days.
Can confirm the tears of joy!
🤦♂️ we don't plan the shitcoin, and never did that :)
It's a payment system for servers, no "coins" there, shit- or not.
Read https://simplex.chat/vouchers - it's been updated.
The plan is evolving - whitepaper is half-way done, the assessment of blockchain to build on is ongoing.
I don't see the need for an additional blockchain.
Timestamping can be performed on the Timechain & cryptographic signatures don't require a blockchain.
You probably already get a sense of the cost that the mere suggestion of an additional token caused. Shitcoins have cost most of us an untold amount of time & value in entertaining them. There's a good reason why we detest them.
If you need funding for servers I suggest you conduct a zap raiser each month to cover your costs.
I ever knew he was such a potty mouth!
What's with the coke & pringles in the bathroom though? 👀
I've heard that so many times it's almost embarrassing 🤣
Merry Christmas my negr0 🫂💚
Merry Christmas to you & Giacomo!
I can see your profile again 🤣
Can't zap though 🫂
That's horrific
I hope you have a great day man.
My 2 are still sleeping for 2 more hours before we run in & jump in their bed to wake then up.
Merry Christmas!
💚💚💚💚 is still in play
7 figures are not
💚💚❤️💚 is the 'this time it's different'
My concern is that customs would grab it
They've already taken a few laser pointers for my safety
Struggling to buy a gift for the man who has everything this Christmas? Watch this.
Also available as 520W tripod mounted mayhem!

I'd love one to prune branches on some gum trees
Yeah there's a sweet spot.
I try to aim for about 120⁰C which is about 150⁰C on the probe built into the BBQ.
Too short a time & the connective fibres won't break down enough.
Too long uncovered (> 6hrs IMO) & you get dry meat especially in the bottom near the heat source.
I find transferring it to a dish after 5-6 hrs and placing a cup or so of water in with it makes it pretty full proof. Covering it is a good idea but the water stops it drying out. Water keeps the base from going over 100⁰C and keeps it moist. Too much water & the brisket losses it's flavour (a common problem I've found with restaurants).
The only thing to watch for is that the water hasn't evaporated. A good brisket has a lot of fat that renders & pools in the pan. It looks like water but gets a lot hotter. I sometimes transfer to an oven to finish which makes things a bit easier.
When I started my Bitcoin journey I had secrets that I didn't want the world to know.
I wasn't a very nice person. Fiat trained me like it trained all the other dogs in how to play their zero sum games.
I realised that I myself could be compromised & controlled with relative ease. I could become the weakest link in the chain.
It made me sick. I resolved to change my behaviours, my thinking & ultimately my beliefs. I wasn't on the take but I was a cog in the machine. I benefited from a corrupt system & passed the ball into the next dog.
A man who fears nothing is a dangerous man, a man who can't be controlled or compromised. I hope I became that man.
I don't fear God or worship Jesus, but I think we're on the same team. Have a merry Christmas but maybe go easy on the sauce. 🤙
