IFR from VUJ to LUA. Just entering the Shenandoah Valley
Seems to me that there's an inverse relationship between having a busy life of responsibility and being trans.
I.e. the more responsibility you have the less time you have for ponder your identity.
I work for a bank. They find my purchase of Bitcoin. And they just published a comment saying "Bitcoin is not backed by any underlying asset" and contrasted that with how wonderful CDBCs are lamenting the lack of them in the US. Of course all because traditional payment methods are environmentally expensive.
I work for idiots.
I didn't know this happened until just now. I've been excitedly following your pilot journey because it felt familiar to me.
But after reading this, I see it was very different. As someone who loves flying and being a pilot, this seems like the right decision. I suspect if you'd continued and passed your checkride, you wouldn't fly enough to be safe to exercise it. And that just makes you less likely to become a story on aviation-safety.net.
I have wanted to be able to fly an airplane since the first time I saw one as a very young child. And doing so means that there's always a risk of my story making that site. To me, it's worth the risk. I'm glad you were able to make that assessment for yourself. I usually congratulate people who have passed their checkride. But I think you deserve some as well: congratulations!
About time.

"We're non-violent!"
You think that physically restricting people's freedom to move is non-violent?
This strategy is more effective at pissing people off than helping sway them to your cause. Even those who might be inclined to agree.
"You can't always get what you want" seems to me - a gen x - to be a basic fact of life. But many millennial and gen z fight this as if it's a tool of oppression rather than a fact.
I know others have said that this is a consequence of my generation overreacting to being latch key kids and creating things like participation awards. That we created entitled kids that are unwilling to accept any reality that doesn't align with their desires.
This seems likely to me.
I don't know what to do about it.
Why does electrumx have peers? Shouldn't it only need to talk to bitcoind?
If women can do everything as well or better than men, doesn't that necessarily mean that men are less than women? Because everything that men do, can be done by women equally as well. And there are some things that women do better than men.
If that's the case why wouldn't evolution - based on survival of the fittest - have rid the world of men a long time ago?
Doesn't the fact that men survived strongly imply that there must be some things that men are more fit for than women?
nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev care to take a crack at the above?
Critique my strategy:
- I work and get paid in fiat
- From fiat I buy and hold Bitcoin as my savings
- From fiat I buy goods and services to support my lifestyle
- I don't spend Bitcoin
- I don't think I've ever sent or received a lightning payment
- I run my own node
- My bitcoin wallets only connect to my node
- I have coinjoined some of my Bitcoin
I didn't take my checkride until 175 hours. So I know the feeling.
Are there people on nostr who aren't bitcoiners?
I find myself not posting here much because I have nothing useful to add. Whereas on the legacy app, there are tons of people who don't grok Bitcoin.
Where are you at now? Last I checked you were at the solo cross country phase.
Helped me understand money, and reevaluate everything else in light of that.
Seems to me that wanting to change Bitcoin is evidence of noob.
