Stupid question: why is there no decentralized version of Uber yet?

We barely trust Uber to implement safety and security measures. I wonder how something like this would work in a decentralized way.

just two comments: calendar entries are shown atm from date start to including date end. So when i enter an entry from some date 0:00 to the next date 0:00 (one day) it is shown as if it extends to days.

The first day of week should be displayed according to current locale. It is not sunday everywhere.

What of the OS in nOStr meant operating system?

digital money is owned by a government most of you dont know exists

I normally keep my Uber rides under 45 mins. But for a few reasons I ended up just getting a two-hour Uber from an airport the other day.

The driver was nice but was like, “damn lol I hope Uber pays me well for this”. The issue with long rides is that the Uber driver is far away after the ride in a new territory and has to try to earn rides back to their normal location. He asked if he could at least stop for coffee or something and I said of course.

So we go for a while and eventually pull over over at a convenience store and he goes to get some coffee and a snack. I go out and get a coffee too and then I pick up his tab and pay for both of us. Uber ended up calling both of us for a health check because the car was stopped.

Buying him a coffee opened him up a bit so we talked for a while. He asked where I was coming from and I said Egypt, and he said he was from Ghana. While chatting and me explaining why I am coming from Egypt, he made a great point that in many places outside of the US, family is a big deal whereas in the US, it is much diminished. And as a result, it’s very important to build connections with neighbors and coworkers in place of that. Even just tell people “good morning” if you usually see them on the way to work so that people know who you are. He came to the US alone four years ago so that is something he describes having learned and a strategy he is using.

Anyway as we pulled up to my destination I gave him an unusually big tip to compensate any inconvenience or unpaid time he might have getting back. A few mins later my doorbell rang and he had come up to say was super thankful for the big tip. The Uber algorithm had kind of screwed him over and the trip price (and thus his share) was low for the hassle, and he felt screwed over by Uber, but then he saw my tip which instantly fixed it.

I should have checked to see if he had a lightning wallet or tried to convince him to download one if not, because then I could have done one of those social media “okay everybody tip this guy” posts. :/

Spurgeon's Faith's Checkbook (October 3rd)

Reflectors of the Lord's Beauty

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness — Psalm 17:15

The portion of other men fills their bodies, and enriches their children, but the portion of the believer is of another sort. Men of the world have their treasure in this world, but men of the world to come look higher and further.

Our possession is twofold. We have God's presence here and His likeness hereafter. Here we behold the face of the Lord in righteousness, for we are justified in Christ Jesus. Oh, the joy of beholding the face of a reconciled God! The glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ yields us Heaven below, and it will be to us the Heaven of Heaven above.

But seeing does not end it: we are to be changed into that which we gaze upon. We shall sleep a while and then wake up to find ourselves as mirrors which reflect the beauties of our Lord. Faith sees God with a transforming look. The heart receives the image of Jesus into its own depths, till the character of Jesus is imprinted on the soul. This is satisfaction. To see God and to be like Him - what more can I desire? David's assured confidence is here by the Holy Ghost made to be the Lord's promise. I believe it. I expect it. Lord, vouchsafe it. Amen. #faith #bible #christian

I view Bitcoin as the ultimate fiat token

(pun intended)

Canadians fell fast asleep. Reasonable lifestyle, no threat of war, 6 month hockey season, cold beer. Frankly, Canadians sat complacently by as Marxism took hold in "government schools", fascist corporations sowed the seeds of what would become the green agenda. Lead by Maurice Strong (of Power Corporation) the communist manifesto took hold. Each "s-elected" Prime Minister (regardless of party) followed the instructions of their masters, the Desmarais family. Finally the groomed drama teacher was old enough to complete the non-violent insurrection and complete the take over.

Meanwhile, Chinese influence had bought politicians in every Province, held Trudeau's political career on a leash and set policy through WEF devotees.

As Fentanyl flooded into the country through the Vancouver waterfront, controlled by organized crime, the governments turned a blind eye. Allowing the proceeds to be laundered through the casinos which now dotted the landscape like McDonald's. Those proceeds were then used to blow up the real estate bubble in the largest markets, only to cash out and return the funds to the CPP before there embezzlement was discovered but not before the governments filled their coffers with billions in taxes from the house sales.

The Plandemic was the final act and enabled the governments to show how apathetic the population had become. They'd line up for an experimental jab, turn on their neighbour for not wearing a face diaper or having one too many house guests. The government printed money and handed it out to anyone who could fog a mirror. CERB was the trial balloon for UBI. Freezing the bank accounts of law abiding protestors, showed the cabal that Canada was ready for the CBDC and would willingly accept it, so long as hockey stayed on the TVs, cannabis and alcohol was accessible via Door Dash (bread and circuses).

Overly polite Canadians found themselves afraid to speak out against any wokeism, so instead of questioning or protesting they looked to TikTok, Meta and Hollywierd via Netflix and Disney+ to tell them what to think.

As a final nail in the coffin, the uni-party of Canada, Liberal/NDP/Conservatives passed bill C-11 aka the "online streaming act" to bury free speech under the guise of prevention of mis and disinformation. Only government approved podcasts and streaming channels will be allowed to disseminate the fact checked propaganda. Canada’s mutation into China was complete.

I write this as a 6th generation Canadian citizen. I no longer have any patriotic leaning toward the dotted lines on a map that proclaim the territory called Canada. It is no longer a land which represents opportunity, diversity and promise. It is a hollowed out husk of its former self, a play thing for globalists and a laboratory for the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Technocracy runs the show, Canadians gobble it up.

Alas people will still travel to Canada with the post card image of the true North, strong and free, in their minds. They'll look past the tents which fill city streets while ogling the mountains. They'll dawn a mask so as to fit in with the collective and stand 6ft back from a person rather than meeting and conversing them. They'll revel in the fact that their currency is worth so much more against the Canadian peso, not stopping for one second to realize that they are witnessing a failed state in the making.

That's Canada... Eh?

Do remember 2011 when Dems shut down gov't because Planned Parenthood didn't get gov't favors.. Not a story about it in the media. No hardships from any media. Airlines, black people hurt. how abut 2013 when Obama shut down gov't because they didn't want amendments to Obamacare.. Not hardships reports on. They didn't exist. All this crap today is more fear mongering.. I want these Patriots to say the Global Green Socialist democrats are not getting the money they want. It isn't their money. It's the hard working people who'll have to pay INTEREST ON ALL THE MONEY THAT MUST BE BORROWED. No more FED printing

control the children, and control the world. It is just a waiting game. Brainwashing and indoctrinating the young will guarantee that when the old no longer inhabit this world, the rulers will have won by default; having a totally dumbed down, compliant, and ignorant population accepting of a supreme authority to manage and control their lives.

Consider that unnatural fires, fires of such extreme heat and devastation, that entire towns, cities, natural treasures, timber lands, sought-after geographic locations, and human fodder are being targeted. Once again, these are not isolated terror attacks, it is happening worldwide, and in concert. The devastation is occurring in California, Hawaii, New York, most of the western U.S., Canada, Greece, Spain, Turkey, many other parts of Europe, China, Australia; this just to name a few. Most all these fires are much hotter and more deadly than any natural wildfire could be, and again, this is widespread around the world at the same time.

Keep in mind, that this world is being run by the very few, while hundreds of millions here, and billions on earth, are supporting and accepting their own enslavement at the hands of a tiny minority of what is a ruling conspiratorial cabal.

"The State is the manifestation of the 'son of God' on earth." - Hegel
