I'm a photographer/filmmaker/theatre artist based out of Anchorage, Alaska. Timezone GMT-9

Just rescued a pack :)

Got my Bitaxe! My compliments to SoloSatashi, it was a great lightning purchasing experience.

#bitaxe

I've got an LG front loader that I've had for about 14 years and I haven't had a lot of issues except I can't feed it hot water without it flooding for some reason. And for a couple of years I had to unplug it and then plug it back in after every load, which oddly just went away after a while 💁.

Mechanically it will likely keep kicking for a while. When it goes it will most likely be a control board that isn't made anymore.

Damn, paying for my Bitaxe from solosatoshi.com through btcpay was smoooooth.

It's my first "big" lightning purchase so I wasn't sure how the experience would be. Very impressed.

Some random street photos from Tokyo

One of the many Don Quijote I saw. It's like walmart on acid.

(I would never ever want to be inside a Don Quijotes on acid)

Tokyo, Hokone, Kyoto, Osaka, and now Kanazawa. Still have a few days left, but this trip has been amazing. I'll post more photos once I've had some time to go through them all :)

Anyone have one of these https://heatbit.com? It’s getting cold and I have a heater in my office running most of the day. I feel like this is a good idea, just wondering if this product is any good or if anyone else has a recommendation?

Thanks ✌🏼

I pre-ordered one over a year ago, a month or so before they were *supposed* to start shipping. Apparently their first batch had a bad habit of breaking in transit and they had to redesign it a bit to have less olastic breaky bits.

When they delayed they promised to cover all the lost sats, but stopped that after a few months because "it's warm enough you probably won't be using it anyway." (and tooootally not because bitcoin went up to the point if they'd kept going they'd basically be giving them away for free)

Currently they claim they'll be shipping this month, but I'll believe it when it's in my hands.

I read a book called How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying.

There is a woman from Earth named Davi who is the chosen one and she is stuck in a time loop in a fantasy world. Every time she dies, she wakes up in a forest pond and an old wizard finds her and says the prophecy is for her to save the world.

She has lived 237 of these lifetimes, totaling over 1,000 years, and can never win. The dark lord and his horde always wins, no matter what she tries. She has understandably become quite cynical. Her personality is like Deadpool now; she takes nothing seriously, constantly jokes about things, and breaks the fourth wall.

So as she is getting tortured in the dungeon of the dark lord on life #237 after yet another multi-year attempt that failed, she decides she is fed up with this. Instead of trying to defeat the dark lord and save the kingdom, she will instead join the bad side and become the dark lord.

So after finally finding a way to kill herself and end the torture, she wakes up in the forest pond again. When the wizard comes to find her, she kills him and then heads into the forest to start her journey to work up the bad guys ladder. Kind of like Groundhog Day she has so much accumulated experience (fighting, magic, combat tactics, knowledge of what events will happen when) and she can iterate when she fails, so she sets off on this new journey to become Dark Lord Davi.

So the story follows her as she builds a bigger and bigger army (she insists on calling it a horde, since dark lords have hordes) and adventures across the world accumulating power.

Funny stuff.

I love that graphic 😍

Masculinity is under attack lately. But I like masculinity actually.

I know, shocker.

The fact that so few U.S. presidential or vice presidential candidates have had beards in modern history is funny to me. I think men usually look better with facial hair, and the older they get the more likely that is. 20-somthing or 30-something strong jaw dudes often look great without facial hair. But when men are 50 or 60 or whatever, that salt-and-pepper beard is so rad and almost always beats the no-beard weak-chin look. I actually think it's weird that neither Biden nor Trump have a beard. JD Vance looks like shit without a beard. Growing a beard is the best move he ever made, imo. And yet the media is like, "A vice president candidate with a beard?"

Masculinity can be rough around the edges, but that's what we need sometimes. It's usually balanced by other societal aspects. In some societies it gets extreme and needs to be pushed back on. My husband has a temper, but his temper is part of his power and why he impacts the world to the extent that he does. So when I interact with his temper, it's not about eliminating it, but rather it's about appreciating it but making sure it's directed in the right direction.

Masculinity and femininity are good. They don't need to be forced. Nature is diverse but society tries to categorize nature into narrower categories. Feminine men and masculine women are cool too. But that doesn't change the fact that masculine men and feminine women are also cool.

I grew up kickboxing and submission grappling. I'm a tomboy. I'm a feminist in terms of promoting equal gender rights. But at the end of the day, I appreciate masculine men. I was never attracted to men who were weaker than me in any capacity, but rather was always attracted to men with gravitas.

The easiest approach to life is to 1) respect biology as it is but then 2) also appreciate the divergences that inherently exist within it.

Trying to equalize nature is to fight against it. And yet trying to eliminate the diversify of nature is also to fight against it.

Nature is fascinating, and I do my best to appreciate it.

The last time I was actually totally clean shaven was like 7 years ago? My wife took one look at me and was like "No. Never do that again"

Holy crap, that looks exactly like my uncle Ted!

The apple trees I planted last year only produces about 6 apples, but damn are they delicious. They're little guys, but they're doing there best.

I'll try that one next. I'm trying to do 2 weeks with each client to give them a chance.

And auto-translation.

I decided to try nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg as my daily driver on android and a few days in the biggest thing I miss from Amethyst is custom reactions. I don't want to heart everything. I wanna laugh. I wanna have any angry face. I want a hand drawn star.

Really love the smoothness of the zaps tho :)

I guess it's better to officially give up all your rights then it is to pretend you have any 🤷🏼.

Oh yay, zuck, bezo, and musk get to own the world infrastructure.

And you better have the app for that.

I'm sure Sam Altmon will let you pay in worldcoin as soon as you let him 'verify you're human.'
