Its the orange river. Look on satellite map. Its this stunning line of green with vineyards and fruit plantations along this amazing river that cuts through semi desert on way to Kalahari proper
Never been there to honest. Not sure if similar. Karoo is stunning.

Amazing to think am in the Kalahari desert! Just stunning

Rand, peso, szloty and Sol rising against dollar which seems to conicide with the run up in metals. So making a flywheel play might be loan in dollars, convert to one of these and buy metals in those countries and vault for 2026? Seems more complicated than just stacking SATs but if banks start moving in that trade, can see some interesting fx moves in 2026. 🤔
Today's personal lesson.
Whilst naked yoga in blazing sunshine is extremely enriching, newfound knowledge on the predilection of mosquitos for the flavour of human buttock cheek results in the addition of a new "ass scratch" pose to the routine which can impact focus on breathing.
Having gone down deep rabbit hole of thousands of research papers, I see nothing to demonstrate vaccines are beneficial at all. Considering side effects, seems a good choice
Part of the process
If you can't beat, co-opt. Seems to be the strategy. Centralising forces
And stop watching price. Focus on building and onboarding?
Majesty of flight!

Been showing people the pricedingold.com website for a while and can't get my head around this not registering. Houses in uk probably cheapest since the 50s. I think most don't like to admit they get paid in toilet paper with images and numbers
Is it time we had some kind of bank, lawyers, real estate hate/anger indexing system with a real-time podium animation online somewhere?
Snapped a photo the other day of how I’ve felt all day today I think!
You sure it's not that many others are Israels bitch?
We commonly talk about sovereignty from a physical perspective. I seem to keep meeting people who have strong opinions without truly being able to say why. I think psychological sovereignty requires the challenging of all personal dogmas. How can one percieve oneself as sovereign without having understanding of one's own thoughts and opinions?
Because it works. The entire idea of how the world works is distorted in the mind of people nowadays
No disagreement there. Political fantasies vs realities
Exactly what I think. If it works, anyone trying to fix it should be considered potential bad actor. At the same time, core team are incredible. I'd love to see where things would go if they focussed on L2/3 solutions rather than all this lost human energy doing things that people evidently do not want
There used to be a great t shirt sold by viz magazine with an exceptionally graphic but of art with the phrase "why let the bottom fall out of your world. Eat a vindaloo and let the world fall out of your bottom". Poetic!
You’re not voting hard enough! Ignore the politics and keep building better systems and communities
Blaming 1 person seems a little easy
I may have missed some for sure but I’ve yet to see any large centralised body do things that appear to have benefit. I include charities and things. Incredible things get done at local level and half the time seems to be spent on governments and big charities getting in the way to try to profit in some manner. Take that to a bigger level and watching what I consider to be an escence of pure unethical corruption and scum and you can have fun watching unicef around Africa. We used to watch those thugs from our office window in Angola. It’s as if any form of centralisation that creates more power or wealth projection is innately impossible for humanity to manage in a manner that doesn’t get corrupted by the most venal people. I personally don’t see that challenge being overcome without extreme decentralisation and individual sovereignty. Hope am wrong or that if right, something can be achieved that mitigates those tendencies
Sometimes it’s worth remembering to check spellings. Love nostr! And congrats sir, hope your not tooooo tired
Possibly with more peace. Who knows
One of the interesting things watching a team go out and push bitcoin adoption is the friction of iniquitous understand and desire to take it within the establishments. The time to get an owner onboard is one thing but getting staff to understand and learn POS etc is definitely another. This is where spending is actually playing your part IMO. It’s an opportunity to try talking a bit to staff and assist with some of the learning burden and help spread curiosity. Only by seeing people arrive at establishments and be wanting to give custom in bitcoin will the staff generate enough curiosity to ask questions and in turn be more open to adoption. Take the time when the opportunity arises, and a larger Bitcoin economy opens up to you too. Decentralised only works through community
Should probably have said am trying to get them on #nostr so please at least give a reaction here so I can nudge owner. He is a fantastic chef and be cool to get him onboarded
No idea mate. Did it have charts or was just data?
Dont forget the desire to microwave you!
Whilst I appreciate the comment. The eggs were from a local farmer doing small production and I am in Costa Rica. It kinda seems out of place to me. I will be talking to them and maybe they’ll change but I kind of expect this in uk or USA or whatever. Not little country farm in Costa Rica!
