I’ve been figuring that ChatGPT would cause a rise in the use of complex RegExes.
👌great advice. Music is good though, no need to ditch the music apps.
Went for a 45 min jog today in sunny Florida, shirtless. No sunburn, been eating clean paleo for about 5 years now. It works.
Nice! nostr:note1vre4nwl7u2qgwujraykgzw04qv09m57utd5e6z39n9v3dh90gs5s7cl0vw
That would be a great listen.
Some emphasis has been taken off building compared to the early days, which has made the experience more quake-like for me. I’m not much of a builder myself but still manage to win semi-regularly via other tactics.
It's healthy for Nostriches to continue to talk about our other interests, as part of me #grownostr personal series, I've talked about outdoor activities and beer. For today's chat, we'll talk about video games.

I found computer games in the mid-1900's and never looked back. I stopped playing console games immediately. Back in the 90's Quake and StarCraft were my original gaming obsessions. I still remember the IP address of my old Quake server 😆
Fast forward a few years and I spent a lot of time playing Team Fortress Classic and BF2.
And then, my fiance did something silly. She bought me a game she heard me mention a few times called World of Warcraft. I played that game a lot. I mean a lot. Way too much. The addiction was real. That game has so many mini-games to do inside it from farming materials, to gaming money in the auction house, to hardcore raiding, to achievements and so much more. From 2006 to 2018, I played WoW. I quit for a couple years at a time when my kids were born.
Eventually, I got back to my roots and started playing a first person shooter again in 2017. I became obsessed with Overwatch and played it non-stop for a few years in the evenings after the kids went to bed. I played in and organized several e-sports teams and leagues. This was a lot of fun. The past couple of years though, I didn't play as much as I was focusing my free time on other things such as Bitcoin.
I played Overwatch 2 for a couple months when it came out last fall, but stopped in December when I found my latest obsession, Nostr.
I went to BlizzCon in 2019. It was fun, definitely an experience. I would never go again though.
Some gamers will play dozens of titles, constantly switching back and forth. Not me. I find one I like, obsess with it, and strive to become the best damned player there is for that game. I'm really competitive 😆
I don't see myself getting back into gaming at this time. I like to talk about the fond memories I had over the years, but at this time, I'd father focus my free time on other aspects of my life.
I was completely addicted to Quake II back in the day. These days the occasional (ok, almost nightly) game of Fortnite does it for me.
Telling everyone to take out the word ‘rust’ of their crate names epitomizes their overreaching. Like about just namespacing your stuff with ‘rust-lang’ or something you fools? Way to break the trust of an entire community…
I just assume everything these days is produced by one of three straggly-beaded Swedish guys who’ve never left their country. So AI is not a huge leap in terms of what gets in our ears.
This is the first AI generated song I’ve heard that sounds great.
I suppose when everything is a remix, we shouldn’t really be surprised that AI can do the job just as well?
Progress in the last decade has been remarkable.
I watched my first in-person SpaceX launch last month. There was a unique atmosphere among the people gathered round. Just a quiet appreciation for human endeavor, no politics or tribalism. How people describe watching the moon landings now feels familiar to me.
I just remembered tomorrow is Succession night.
How come just about every Bitcoin wallet can switch from Sats to BTC and back with a simple tap, but I can’t find one damn weather app that can do the same for Fahrenheit to Celsius?

IMF Unveils New Global Currency Known As The "Universal Monetary Unit" To "Transform" World Economy https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/imf-unveils-new-global-currency-known-universal-monetary-unit-transform-world-economy
The IMF did not unveil this. It’s just some grifter trying to cosy up to them and nation state banks. This paragraph is a good example of the bullshit that it’s comprised of.
I had a friend that said sunflower seeds were the best. This is because we’re kept alert when eating (ever notice you can read like crazy when eating?) and the seeds are small and low calorie so you can eat for extended periods.
The other thing is beef sticks. You can buy minimally processed primal beef sticks at Whole Foods.
Our dystopian future.
Yeah I’m waiting to see if another one comes in saying it’s now extremely low or whatever.
Columbo is on the case. 🧐
It’s possible that I got a super late notification that was triggered during the brief time that it was connected. I can’t imagine they have some mesh network thing that uses other people’s connectivity like Apple’s AirTags. Beyond that I’m at a loss.
