⚡️🚨 Who holds the most US debt?

No, stainless steel is not just iron with a nickel coating. Stainless steel is an alloy, a mixture of iron with specific elements added to enhance its properties. The key ingredient that makes stainless steel "stainless" is chromium, not nickel. Typically, stainless steel contains at least 10.5% chromium by mass, which forms a protective layer of chromium oxide on the surface, preventing rust and corrosion.

Nickel is often added to some stainless steel alloys (like the popular 304 or 316 grades) to improve strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments. However, it’s not a coating—it’s mixed into the alloy during the manufacturing process. Other elements like carbon, molybdenum, or manganese can also be included depending on the type of stainless steel.

So, rather than being a coated product, stainless steel is a homogeneous material engineered for durability and resistance to staining and rust. Coatings can be applied to iron or steel for protection (like galvanizing with zinc), but that’s a different process from what defines stainless steel.

Unpopular: the bull run hasn’t even started yet

Haha this isn’t about anyone in specific

If I can’t be honest with you then I can’t respect you.

The only Executive Order we really needed was abolition of Daylight Savings Time

Many Bitcoiners eat loads of fatty red meat because they think it makes them stronger, healthier, and even more masculine. The reality is, it leads to clogged arteries and erectile dysfunction, among many other well-documented health issues—there's nothing masculine about that.

Ultimately, the only knowledge is self-knowledge. I can't make anyone do anything—any more than all this carnivore fad diet talk can make me do anything. All I can do is share my perspective, backed by decades of modern research, thousands of years of lived results, and today's world-class vegan athletes and peak performers.

Freedom of speech and reclaiming our attention/time/life from big tech is a thread that connects people who use Nostr, so it was time to start speaking more about it.

And yes, good on you—don't let perfect be the enemy of good. For example, I enjoy buttermilk, but I don't buy it because of the way cows are treated in factory farms.

'Grass-fed' is just a label, like 'organic'—with loose regulations that are easy to game. There's a stark difference between a Hindu cow, or Bessie being milked on the farm and well-cared for, and a mother who has had her babies stolen from her, lives in inhumane conditions, is shown no love, is an object to be used, and is pumped with antibiotics and other medicines just to keep her alive until she can't produce anymore.

And then they're thrown away like garbage—sent to slaughter at just 4-5 years old when they should live to 20, their bodies so broken and worn they're only good for cheap hamburger meat and pet food. That's the reality behind every glass of milk from factory farms.

I don't remember the last time sentiment was this low in bitcoin

My goodness

Act like you've been here before

Sometimes when I tell people that children and family are the meaning of life they get triggered.

“It’s not for everyone” they’ll say.

And granted the odds that you find deep rooted and lasting meaning in some sort of passion, hobby or career is not zero….

But let’s be honest it’s pretty damn close to zero.

I say this not to trigger or shame, but because it’s true.

Just like Bitcoin is the truth so is this.

Children are the meaning of life.

It’s why we are here.
