I have always struggled to get myself motivated to lift weight, or work out for that matter, but I’ve finally been doing it more consistently over the last several months.

Much more than simply getting more fit, I find that I have a lot more endogenous motivation to just do chores and other shit that I need to do, and I don’t slip into feeling depressed as I have a tendency to do.

While it was pretty hard to get myself out to my gym in my workshop at first, I’m finding more and more that it’s becoming easier to get myself out there to do it, and start my day on a good note that lets me have a productive day that I would have otherwise wasted.

It feels good man.

Euthanize the Government.

Private keys are too difficult for the human.

The average house user does not want to deal with the responsibility of looking after their house keys.

Gg, it’s been a good ride folks.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my childhood. I was a few weeks shy of 9 years old.

First bird hunt (and my first bird) with my dad and grandad.

Also, those kicks. 🤌

lol. My doctor wrote me a new prescripton. I told him to send it to the hospital's own/internal pharmacy. Now CVS and Walgreens are msging me saying that the prescription is ready.

Fuck this system. Can't wait to Nostrify the shit out of this clusterfuck.

Here’s a fun little story about yesterday’s #DDOS attack…

As per usual I was sitting in front of the local bank, but unlike Saturdays there were people "working" there yesterday.

I put my chair right at the border of the private property of the bank and the public sidewalk, put on my speakers on medium volume and fell into the familiar state of Kosmos (a Greek word, that describes the meditative state of watching life pass by, while being an aware and silent observer).

After approx. 21 minutes I was rudely approached by the security manager of the bank: "I have domestic authority here, fuck off immediately! Otherwise I’ll call the police."

I calmly asked him to do so, if he thought it was necessary, knowing that his domestic authority wouldn’t affect me on a public sidewalk.

Some blocks went by, then I spotted two young policeman talking to the security guard and a guy in a suit.

One of them approached me.

👮🏼‍♂️ "Hello Sir, we were called…"

I immediately recognized the person standing in front of me. We had spent years together annoying our teachers in school.

🐰⚡️ "Till?"

The recognition was both ways. Old friends meeting again in vastly different contexts. Till had this broad grin on his face and asked me: "WTF are you doing here?"

I tried my best to explain but didn’t need to because he quickly recognized the situation. We checked if we still had each other’s numbers and decided to move the conversation to catch up on each other’s life’s to a different space and time.

He went back to the banksters and told them in a decisive tone and with the authority of the police uniform, that there is nothing they could do. That they should not harass me, since I’m just there using my right to voice my opinions.

Till and his colleague left with a 21 #Bitcoin bill each, a wink, and left me with an empowering feeling.

For the first time in my life I truly felt that I was talking on an eye to eye basis, with the police.

A bit confused here. The post you mention describes force closures happening when a node was offline, which makes sense if HTLCs were pending. Not sure why mempool fees are relevant here?
