having your ashes spread into the ocean after your death is very symbolic, but i bet if all 8 billion of us started doing that, all the fishes would die from the ashes.

my idea of heavenly bliss is to forget everything and to be dissolved into star matter. you are not anymore, yet you are everywhere. eternal dreamless sleep as your being spreads out like a blanket.

sometimes, i feels like i'm just showing people who they are.

when i don't use social media and try to go outside to experience the world, what i lose is my memory.

i have #ADHD so i forget what i was doing all the time. the timeline on social media offers a kind of continuity. and if i post something forgettable, it doesn't appear in my notifications anymore.

but the good stuff keeps getting reruns. and then i think about it more.

"what's your name?" asks the receptionist

"i have no idea." i answer

finally, nirvana.

the washing machine finished in 1 hour as promised. didn't need to book the drier a full 2 hours later, so i cancelled that. the drier says it'll take 40 minutes.

it would be more convenient to book in 1-hour blocks. i would've booked the drier one hour after the washer if i had known, and if the app had permitted it.

instead, the drier and the washer both have to be booked in the same 2-hour window. someone else could be using the drier while i'm washing though, so it makes no sense.

in computer science, we call it pipelining when different parts of a computer chip are handling different workloads at the same time. this principle can also be applied in other areas, and should be applied here.

sinte rødfjesede småbarnsfedre fra landsbygda som utålmodig skal frem i bilkøen er litt flaut å se på.

clothes in the drier. after that, i can finally take a shower.

i feel like some kind of robot or automat when i do housework and other chores. the brain just sits there uselessly and sadly while my body is moving.

nostr:npub1u6e4emcxa0hlfkkvhmx04pg6l05jsdxyts66s0urgrnzy6uycluqate36n it might feel a bit far-fetched but it's definitely NOT a system where money can be printed for free by the elite (central banks)

nostr:npub1u6e4emcxa0hlfkkvhmx04pg6l05jsdxyts66s0urgrnzy6uycluqate36n the general idea is the same.

Bitcoin basically feeds the block plus random shit into a hashing algo similar to MD5 or SHA-1 until the random shit causes the resulting hash to start with X number of zeroes.

nostr:npub1u6e4emcxa0hlfkkvhmx04pg6l05jsdxyts66s0urgrnzy6uycluqate36n the client that discovered this nonce value has a valid signature for the block and wins the race and cashes out on mining rewards.

nostr:npub1u2fsku6zuywq4w04hn04hkzatmj8ffqeqlze47yawck0w0xf232qx7z5ml i don't disagree. but i must say that when Wikipedia almost spam-level nags you to donate, it doesn't feel all that different from a banner ad.
