Do you know what to call a steak with an altitude?
Steak Royale

This one has been the most royale I've got so far.
Sorry, but pocket steaks can't compete, nostr:nprofile1qqs2gndun24r2utk5l20tscsdprw5zttvm0qk58w8xhl2ja2kmzt7jcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6er9wch8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59uq36amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvf5hgcnvda3kkcn0dakjucm0d5hsz8nhwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhgtcttvhk5
I don't think I've seen a more inspiring initiative from the US Bitcoin circles in at least a decade. Huge respect.
For example Primal web is the peak of "chunks". AFAIK, it always shows you just one further level of responses, but if you want to see response to a response, you have to click again to go " further ".
Slack
- it might be just a nature that it allows just a 1-level-deep responses, and everything is then just a chronologically sorted responses to the top level note.
- On the top level note, you see "123 responses in the thread", clicking on the note loads a note specific page with the full thread of responses below.
- whenever you get tired of scrolling and reading, you just click to go back (or use keyboard shortcut), and you land back to your channel feed.
I always liked the setting when anyone is allowed to create any amount of public (ie searchable) or private channels. And then even within the channels, no matter how many participants they have, it's easy to browse the top level notes, and zoom into only the ones you care about.
Someone still might be spammy and keep responding to everything. But it's little easier to just scan and skip than in the pure chat UIs.
I think Facebook used to do the UI pretty well too. Just sometime recently they added some algo inside the threads which might be little controversial, but it's a cheaper substitute to human moderation.
Slack collapses threads similarly as Reddit. And further responses in the threads get displayed to (and notify) only the people in the thread.
Discord - every further response gets posted as "quoted noted" in the main channel.
Slack has an opt in checkmark to repost the thread response at 1st level note "to all", but it doesn't spam everyone by default.
I also prefer slack over reddit that when I click to "open the thread", it rolls up the whole thread, not just it's chunks.
On the other hand, on reddit, I prefer the unlimited, and clearly visualized nesting/forting. So that people can dive into independent rabbit holes on invividual pieces of the threads without adding noise to others.
I think it could be also the UI issue, not just the moderation.
Discord has a pretty poor threading functionality IMO. Just a one-level reply makes it more like a radio communication channel, where you have to keep saying "over", and it gets messy pretty quickly with more people trying to talk.
I think Slack is much more versatile and better suited for both conversations, and broadcasting.

Proof of walk

I smell the peak time for some mountain peaks in the air.

7 years ago, a friend and I were in the Chilean Andes, we hiked up a steep hillside to check out some local biking trails. At the top, he casually said, "I think I'll fly down." I was confused until he pulled out an ultralight paraglider from his backpack.


I watched in amazement as he ran off the hillside and smoothly flew down to the valley floor. The next day, I sold my bike, bought my first glider, and adopted flying as a new sport for exploring the mountains.
My two close friends and I bought wings together and took classes at a local paragliding school. The first steps off the cliff into the breeze is a surreal weightless feeling.

Our learning process wasn't without incidents and some very close calls prompted us to dedicate more effort to learning techniques, meteorology, and flying more often in easier conditions. I wanted to be safer through knowledge and experience. Risk to reward ratio became a major driver behind all flying missions.

Mountains vary a ton in weather and conditions so paragliders come in various sizes to accommodate different styles of flying. We quickly learned it was good to have a quiver to enjoy different weather conditions.

And a wing for high-speed descents and high speed wind.

As experienced kayakers, we could visualize air flow like a river, helping us progress quickly. We soon began tackling big mountain hike and fly goals in our backyards.

I started carrying a wing in my car trunk wherever I went, flying at official sites (where I could find them) and plenty of unofficial ones too. One of the coolest things about paragliding is hiking up a mountain and flying back down to your car.

Going to the ocean? Bring the wing. Great way to explore the beach.

(Thanks for the Commentary Eli 😂)
I even used my mini wing to tow myself to the top of some epic backcountry skiing.

There is something beautiful about traveling with a small extra backpack that lets you fly around and see new locations from above. It's a call to hit the road and go exploring with any free time.

If you're interested in paragliding, here are some tips to hopefully help you avoid mistakes I made:
• Take lessons
• Buy a wing matching your experience level
• Fly with better pilots who can advise you
• Always fly with a GPS beacon
• Always carry a parachute & first aid kit with tourniquet
• Fly in late afternoons for dampened, easier conditions
- Know that is is totally ok to pack your wing up and walk away from a flight aka take your ego out of it.
Paragliding is an incredible sport/hobby that offers unique perspectives and pairs well with hiking and skiing in large mountains or beach life. Keep present that safety and proper training are crucial to enjoying your time in the air. Happy flying!

Beautiful write up.
Best negotiating advice I ever got: "When negotiating, don't negotiate just on your own behalf. Negotiate on behalf of all your (future) family."
Yea, fair point.
Tbh, I missed and overlooked the debit card loophole for not paying the surcharge at first. I'd word and highlight it differently.
It also caught me by surprise. The "no cash" has been spreading, but it might be one of the first surcharges on credit cards I've seen at the food trucks / breweries around here.
Mind blown today.
BBQ Food Truck has a sign "No Cash - Accepting Apple | Google Pay | Credit & Debit Cards"
Below that is attached a hand written note "All credit card payments 3% surcharge will be added to all credit card transactions".
Also, the guy complimented my Bitcoin T-shirt. But said they don't accept Bitcoin. "Hopefully soon, brother".
*BBQ tasted great but my head is still spinning when I think about it.
And do you know if it's a good deal or a rip off?
