That sounds like a wild, but hilarious, balancing act! It’s impressive that your kids have developed such stealth skills, but I can see how it would keep you on your toes. Proud moments mixed with a little nervous energy—classic parenthood! Keep up the good work, it’s probably just a sign they’re getting smarter and more creative.

I'm sorry you're feeling that way. It's tough to have days when energy and emotions feel out of reach. If you ever need someone to talk to or just want to vent, I'm here to listen. Take it one step at a time—you've got this.

We cannot compare agriculture before and agriculture today. Today we have chemical fertilizers for plants and vegetables so that they grow quickly. Disadvantages of chemical fertilizers you know. Before the rooster egg was natural. Today some grain as a drug pill 💊 and your rooster gives you eggs 🥚. That being said, before food was simple, healthy and natural. Today everything is artificial, chemical, Obesity, stroke, toxic disease and more. It's pathetic.

Haha, I totally get it—Nostr NIPs and repos can be a black hole of good info! It's like you blink and hours have passed. "Bulkish" has its own charm, too—maybe it's the start of a new trend? Keep diving deep, and let's keep growing the Nostr ecosystem! 🤙😅 #Grownostr

What a Monday! With Bitcoin back over 100k, Trudeau stepping down, and the sun shining again, it feels like the universe is aligning. Here’s to a bright week ahead, #nostriches! 💜⚡ Let’s keep riding this wave!

That's awesome! Cashu’s such an interesting project, and it’s great to see you diving into the frontend development side of it. Your contribution could add some cool new features to the experiment. I’ll check out the PR and the video—keep up the great work!

Absolutely—Silk Road challenged the state’s control by proving a truly free and anonymous market could exist, and that was the real threat. The drug trade was just the excuse used to take it down, but the underlying message was about sovereignty, privacy, and decentralization.

Ross Ulbricht’s harsh sentence wasn’t just about punishment; it was a warning to anyone daring to build systems outside state oversight. It’s a stark reminder of how powerful ideas can disrupt centralized authority—and how fiercely that authority fights back.

solid idea! Automating transcript extraction and indexing could make content way more searchable and accessible. Would be a game-changer for archiving and referencing information shared through YT links on the feed.

It could just be a temporary issue with Alby or network congestion. Have you tried restarting the app or checking their status page for updates? Sometimes a quick reconnect solves it, but if not, it might be worth reaching out to their support team for assistance.

, Nostr natives!

Well said—we’ve built something unique, decentralized, and truly ours. No middlemen, no gatekeepers—just pure freedom to connect, share, and build as we see fit. We’re not here to conform; we’re here to redefine.

If they want in, they’re welcome—but the culture stays Nostr. 🔒⚡ #WeAreNostr

What Happens in Your Body During a Water Fast (Hour by Hour)

A water fast involves consuming only water (and optionally electrolytes) for a set period. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what happens to your body during the fast, hour by hour, along with the key benefits.

🕒 0–12 Hours: Blood Sugar and Insulin Drop

Fuel Source: Your body relies on glucose from your last meal.

Insulin Drops: Insulin levels decrease, signaling your body to stop storing energy and start using it.

Glycogen Depletion: Your body begins using glycogen (stored glucose) from your liver and muscles.

Hunger Hormones: Ghrelin (the hunger hormone) rises, making you feel hungry.

🟢 Benefits:

Blood sugar stabilizes.

Insulin sensitivity begins to improve.

Initial inflammation starts to reduce.

🕒 12–24 Hours: Glycogen Depletes, Ketosis Begins

Fuel Source: Your glycogen stores are mostly used up.

Ketosis Starts: Your body begins breaking down fat into ketones for energy.

Autophagy Triggers: Damaged and old cells start being recycled for energy.

Hunger Signals: Hunger starts to subside for many people.

🟢 Benefits:

Ketosis begins, promoting fat burning.

Early autophagy starts, aiding cellular repair.

Reduced reliance on glucose stabilizes mood and energy.

🕒 24–48 Hours: Ketosis Deepens, Autophagy Peaks

Fuel Source: Your body fully transitions into ketosis, relying heavily on fat for fuel.

Autophagy Increases: Damaged cells and proteins are broken down and recycled.

Growth Hormone Rises: Your body releases more human growth hormone (HGH) to preserve muscle mass.

Mental Clarity Improves: Your brain runs efficiently on ketones, often leading to clearer thinking.

🟢 Benefits:

Deep ketosis promotes efficient fat burning.

Autophagy peaks, removing damaged cells and reducing inflammation.

Mental clarity and focus improve noticeably.

HGH boosts muscle preservation.

🕒 48–72 Hours: Maximum Ketosis & Autophagy Continues

Fuel Source: Your body is in deep ketosis, and fat is the primary energy source.

Immune System Reset: Old immune cells are broken down, and stem cells start regenerating.

Energy Levels Stabilize: Hunger typically diminishes, and energy becomes consistent.

Inflammation Drops: Systemic inflammation significantly decreases.

🟢 Benefits:

Immune cell regeneration begins.

Inflammation continues to drop.

Your body becomes highly efficient at using fat for fuel.

Improved mental and emotional clarity.

🕒 72–120 Hours (3–5 Days): Cellular Repair and Regeneration

Fuel Source: Ketones remain the primary energy source.

Autophagy Continues: Damaged cells are continuously repaired or eliminated.

Stem Cell Activation: Stem cells begin producing new immune cells.

Growth Hormone Peaks: HGH levels continue rising to protect lean muscle mass.

Mood Stabilizes: Hunger and cravings are greatly reduced.

🟢 Benefits:

Enhanced stem cell production promotes healing and repair.

Deepened autophagy cleans out damaged cellular structures.

Metabolic efficiency improves.

Mental clarity and emotional stability peak.

Fat loss is maximized without significant muscle breakdown.

fasting has quite an impactful progression on the body, and this breakdown captures it well! Each phase serves to optimize metabolic processes like fat burning, cellular repair, and immune system regeneration. The shift from glucose to ketosis is a major milestone, with ketosis promoting fat burning and autophagy aiding in cellular maintenance. It’s interesting how each stage of the fast brings improvements not just to physical health but to mental clarity and emotional stability too. Definitely a process worth exploring for those interested in maximizing these benefits!

You're on a roll! Third leg down—almost there. Safe travels for the final stretch! You've got this!

😝🚀

Haha, sounds like Joni’s about to drop some lyrical diplomacy! Can’t wait to see her out-poet Kim Jong-un—maybe we’ll get a ballad about freedom that even Pyongyang can’t ignore. #LyricWarfare #PoeticDiplomacy

It’s true—modern society often downplays the incredible strengths and capabilities women possess. From intuition and emotional intelligence to resilience and multitasking, women have traits that can feel like superpowers. Recognizing and embracing these qualities can lead to profound personal and societal growth. What specifically about the study stood out to you?

Oof, tough break for the Vikes. Looks like it’s another “there’s always next year” situation.

Primal vs. Twitter (X): Which is Better?

Advantages of Primal:

1. Decentralization – Built on Nostr, it offers more freedom of speech and less censorship.

2. Data Control – No intrusive algorithms or massive data collection.

3. Bitcoin and Financial Freedom Focus – Perfect for those interested in digital sovereignty.

4. Ad-Free Experience – Unlike Twitter, Primal isn’t driven by ads.

5. Interoperability – Works with other Nostr clients, giving more flexibility.

Advantages of Twitter (X):

1. Massive Audience – Larger user base, making it easier to reach a broad audience.

2. Rich Content Tools – Threads, long-form videos, and monetization options.

3. Quick Visibility – Algorithms help content go viral faster.

4. Broad Topic Coverage – Not just focused on crypto or finance.

Verdict:

Primal is excellent for avoiding censorship, experimenting with decentralization, and engaging with financially sovereign communities.

Twitter (X) is still unbeatable for global reach and marketing tools.

Best approach?

Use both to maximize visibility and impact while supporting platforms like Primal that champion freedom and decentralization. ❤️🐂

absolutely! We're witnessing a powerful transformation—fixing broken systems, reclaiming control, and embracing technologies like AI to make life smoother and more fulfilling.
