3,434 sats to the first person to guess what lift I'm training tomorrow morning 💪
(Only respecting one guess per person)

It'll never recover
Seems like a damned good day to buy some #Bitcoin 🫡 
Got me some blue light blockers. Wife says I'm a dork
I'll add it to the list!
Just started my next Bitcoin-adjacent read.
What should I add to my reading list?

Squat Clean Drill!
A lot of people struggle to hit full hip extension on their cleans, here's an excellent drill to help with that.
Starting in the hang position at the top of the knees, pull to the hips like a deadlift, emphasizing bar contact all the way up the thigh and full hip extension at the top.
Do this three times then hit a hang squat clean.
Helps build muscle memory to fully extend the hips before dropping into the squat.

Happy to say I am now running a Bitcoin node 🫡
Deadlifts today, worked up to 435lbs x 2
Goal is to break 500 by mid-October for a charity deadlifting competition.

No matter your struggle, keep going 🫡
We are all here, alive and conscious, witnessing and contributing to this specific moment in the vastness of eternity, for a reason.
Take it every day 
I wish I had learned about this sooner. I recently came across this information, so it's not something I ever paid much attention to until now.
When buying fresh garlic, make sure it has roots!
When garlic is imported from China, it gets bleached and the roots are removed.
Imported garlic is often grown using human sewage as an inexpensive fertilizer, and often not treated properly at that. It is then sprayed with chemicals to prevent sprouting, bleached with chlorine to make it look white, and then fumigated with methyl bromide which can cause respiratory and CNS damage.
To spot imported garlic, a tag that says "product of China" is obvious. But also, look for the roots and the bleached white look. Domestic garlic will still have roots and will have some color, as it hasn't been bleached.
I've loved garlic my entire life, and I've undoubtedly eaten some Chinese garlic simply because I had no idea that was something I needed to pay attention to. Boy, have my eyes been opened looking into some of this!
I figured I'd pass this info along to help raise awareness. Eat local and stay healthy out there. 🫡

Pretty much BPI = CPI/BTC Price. I'm noob too, and definitely not an economics person, at least by profession.
My understanding is that although CPI doesn't have a unit, dividing it by the price of BTC works because it gives the amount of BTC needed to achieve the same purchasing power represented by the CPI.
I get that consumer price inflation is a result of monetary inflation mainly via debt. All I'm trying to find is the increase/decrease in cost of consumer goods priced in BTC. If CPI measures price increases, would CPI denominated in BTC not show that?
I also understand that CPI is heavily manipulated, and so is BTC market price data at this point, but what isn't in a fiat world? I like puzzles and this one has a hold of me at the moment.
Appreciate it! I've thought about some of that as well, but seems a bit tricky to set up for me at the moment. Perhaps something I'll take a crack at in the future!
Been playing around with some Python..
Still a bona fide noob, so take it easy.
We all understand that BTC is "going up forever" compared to fiat, but will it actually increase in purchasing power forever?
I believe so, but would like to actually track and analyze it.
Since the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the most widely used measure of inflation, I figured it would be interesting to use this data in conjunction with Bitcoin price data to create a new metric, which I'm calling the Bitcoiner Price Index (BPI). That is, CPI is the measure of prices paid by US consumers, and BPI is the measure of relative prices paid by Bitcoiners.
I understand CPI is far from ideal or complete data, but it's what I have access to and what the mainstream economists (🤢) seem to use, so I'll use it as well, at least as a start.
I took the CPI data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and the BTC data from CoinDesk (free API keys).
The chart below shows the past 10 years data, all that was available via API for free, in typical year-over-year fashion as well as trend lines.
Since the targeted inflation rate is 2%, I've shaded in red any time the CPI is over 2%. And since my base case is that BTC will gain purchasing power, I've shaded in green any time BPI is negative.
I'm still playing around with this, but I find it pretty interesting and different than most BTC charts I see floating around.
I figured I'd #AskNostr to get some feedback and hopefully some opinions on improved methods and/or data sources.
Based on the data thus far, the CPI trend is 0.05 and the BPI trend is -0.10, suggesting that prices are falling for bitcoiners twice as fast as they are rising in USD despite the large spikes during the bears.
I plan on following this each month when the CPI comes out, and modifying it to make improvements along the way. Should be neat to see how things go over the coming years.

Some good sets of Bench Press and a grueling workout today 💪
The Air Bike is my arch nemesis in the gym, and I always prioritize going on days when I see that fucker 👊

Befriend the birds.
The wife and I adore hummingbirds, we always make sure to put some feeders out for them while they're in town.
Sure thing!
