That’s actually a good idea. Went into this not knowing what to expect, but this may be a way

I’ve got a mystery folder here, packed with over 40 test prints of my photography.

Inside you’ll find a mix of work - shots from my days on tour, early street and travel photography, and more. It’s a special little collection, something I’ve considered holding onto.

But, these prints no longer serve a purpose for me, and I know someone out there would appreciate them. I’m always creating new work, so it feels right to let these go.

the deal: if this note gets a #zap reserve of 10k sats, I’ll hand the folder off to someone. The highest zapper will be given this collection.

Spread the word, and thank you.

Yeah that’s the plan. My only motivation to try and get Start9 fixed is to recover the channel I paid for. Ya know, sunk cost fallacy things.

I was running Start9 too. Maybe I’ll give it another look. The machine has just been off because I kinda gave up trying to figure out what’s wrong.

Is it going well for you? I tried that around the time Lightning payouts were announced, but my node got messed up right after I opened a channel unfortunately. It be like that sometimes.

Nope. 👎 🇨🇦 😂

I’m drinking The Bitcoiners’ Coffee these days, directly from Colombia.

What’s good then

Yeah I just saw it pop up in the stats page and got excited haha. Next job is to setup CLN and my bolt offer 🤞

I need your help! What are the TOP BITCOIN TUTORIALS you want to see me cover in the new year?

I'll try to prioritize the most requested stuff.

That is a great point to keep in mind, but you should also consider the probability of having a false positive (which is what you described, detecting virus RNA without having infection) in this setting.

Every DNA/RNA that enters your bloodstream is degraded almost instantly (that’s why our body cells keep the DNA in the nucleus, away from the degrading enzimes). That’s what your immune system is constantly doing, it degrades everything and creates immunity.

For you to be able to identify a specific DNA/RNA strand in PCR, it has to be a huge amount of it floating around your bloodstream, and it must be released faster than your immune system can degrade it. And it has to be so many copies of that RNA/DNA that you can even detect it in other samples that aren’t blood (like the nose swab).

That only happens if you have a viral pathogen actively replicating and releasing millions of DNA/RNA copies per second (aka an active viral infection).

So this is why you don’t test positive for covid PCR after you take the vaccine (because your immune system took care of it all and the copies just aren’t enough to show up on the PCR). And that is why you don’t test positive for viral PCR right after you had contact with someone with a viral infection - you don’t have enough viral RNA/DNA in your sample, because the virus hasn’t made millions and millions of copies (yet, maybe after a couple of hours you will test positive).

You just don’t happen to have just enough covid DNA/RNA in your nose to test positive in PCR, that is not how it works (your immune system would not just ignore that and let it float around). False positive results can happen of course (nothing is set in stone). But in this setting, speccially with PCR technique, there’s almost 0 chance that happens. So much so the most common errors with PCR are the false negatives, not the false positives.

PCR is the most reliable and accurate test we have for viral infections.

i've heard lots of things. i haven't seen actual sources though. is there real evidence of this?

the people I say seeing this (before I deleted X) are the same people still clamoring on about the satanic panic and similar bullshit conspiracies.

i'm open to evidence.

You still need an email address for SimpleLogin. You might need to provide your other email to create a Proton account too. It was way easier a few years ago.

The problem is non KYC Email accounts are getting hard to register.

Has anyone else caught protonmail randomly deleting old emails or is it just me? Gmail always used to have what I'm looking for, but I frequently look for emails I *know* I've archived and they're nowhere to be found. Sucks because I've lost receipts I need for tax write offs.
