The rule count is too dang high I like freedom. #helistr

Tantrums are no fun. When my kids were having tantrums I found it useful to laugh at them, mock them, and ask them “How’s this working out for you? You getting what you want?”. Not saying it’s easy to ignore but they needed to learn a tantrum gets them opposite of what they desire and think it was just entertainment for me (even though it’s not). Not telling you what to do, just what worked for me. I understand it’s really hard on a mom so pass them off to nostr:nprofile1qqsvfr3f7p95stxqrjslnmuvsmhcxxxqt8swjdfjx5tz7zq0yms5cygpzemhxw309a6k6cnjv4kzumr0vdskcw358q6rsqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qtw0njk if needed for the tough love stuff 🚁😁.

Impressive young man, fun to watch. 🚁👍🏻

Fidelity. Non coinbase and too big to fail in the legacy finance world. (They’ll get printed whole at the end of paper bitcoin summer)

I can accept that you think it’s a bad take and I’m glad you share your opinion. I think telling nostr devs that integrating YouTube is a core function that must be prioritized over building other nostr native functions is a bad take. My guess is they listen to neither of us and do whatever they want. That’s what I’d do if I wrote code😎

Sweet! No more casual walks for you. Now you’re gonna have to pick up the pace one more notch. 🚁😁

Many exceptions to the rule but not a chance for most. By your 40s you’re not chasing girls and you’re much more inclined to stay and fight, so running looses it’s allure 🚁😂

GM Jor. Arnie looks like he misses winter.

I was black listed from flying the company CEO for the same reasons. But my new free time allowed me to discover bitcoin so there’s that 🚁😁

Cool. I was sincerely wondering what you were driving at. Carry on as you please. Also, I’ll engage with whatever I want, because I can😎

I agree which is why I said almost no one. Just like pre-internet where very few authors made a living writing/talking it will end with only a few. The difference being it will be organic with no publisher/middleman making the decision for us. Everyone will have a voice, 98.4% of content creation will be volunteer work is my guess.

Prediction: This all ends with the average person using social media (nostr) to follow/interact with only a couple hundred people who they also meet with IRL. There are very few large accounts and almost no one makes a living from social media content. Basically, a very long road to end up with an improved version of how life was before the internet.

It means grandma has an opinion but not a filter. You should tell grandma you love her, spend time with her, and live your life how you want.

When you’re a fiat billionaire you probably don’t really want a new game with new rules. You just want to make adjustments to your strategy so you keep winning the game.

full report for friends asking:

Freak accident last night, slipped and fell at a BBQ, and a fillet knife sliced my peroneal nerve and a major artery, all the way into my shin bone. I didn’t feel anything, but I looked down and saw my bone and the wound pouring.

I was bleeding out fast. I applied pressure with my hand directly on the exposed artery and bone and hopped over to my friends. My friends and I tied a tank top around the wound, jammed in a pen for a makeshift tourniquet, wound it up tight to stop the bloodflow, then made two more above and below the wound with our shirts. That quick response bought me enough time for my friend to get me to the ER.

We waited in the ER for about an hour before getting seen by a nurse. She opened the tourniquet, took pressure off, and she got sprayed, shin exposed, artery wide open. She tried to clean it a bit the we out the pressure back on. Then we sat in the hallway to wait for a doctor.

The ER doc said they weren’t equipped to stop the bleeding. At this point I’m getting dizzy and shaky cause the shock was wearing off. Very nervous. They said they weren’t outfitted to handle that kind of bleeding, so they didn’t want to dress it. They spent some time debating whether to gamble and try to close it themselves, or spend hours transferring me to a severe trauma surgeon in another hospital.

Finally, one doctor made the call. He joked I was holding up the patient line. He opened the tourniquet, cleaned the wound, and stitched the artery, deep tissue, fascia, and everything back together, inside and out. Two hours and several injections of antibiotics and pain killers later, I was stitched up and stable.

I’m home now. Stuck in bed, leg elevated. Can’t walk or move much. The pain didn’t hit until this morning and it’s unbearable to be honest. Never had anything like it. The doctors said I’m incredibly lucky.

Still waiting to see if I’ll need surgery, depending in how the nerves and tissues heal, and how bad the nerve damage is. Had a nice house call today to reassess and clean and get more pain killers and antibiotic injections. They said fortunately it was a very sharp knife, so the nerves may reconnect smooth. There’s a lot of parts of my leg that numb out randomly, and some drop foot when I try to move, but I’m optimistic it will heal well. Not too much bleeding so the artery seems good. Just monitoring for infection and trying to manage pain and inflammation now.

No swimming, no jiu-jitsu, no walking for a while. But I’m really grateful for the helpful visitors, my neighbors, the support, and especially the friends who stayed calm under pressure and saved my life.

Anyway, accidents happen. Going as well as can be. I’m definitely going to invest some more time into emergency prep, and I think it's worthwhile for everyone to consider learning some basics too. If you have any suggested material on this please send it 🤙

The Independence Training guys in AZ are great. Look into their dirt medicine classes. They have a podcast called The Arms Room. Look through the history and you’ll find an IFAK (Individual 1st Aid Kit) series. Worth a listen.

"Getting Back to Basics: Reclaiming What Truly Matters"

" THIS IS A TRUTH POST FOR ME 🙏🏼 "

It's a strange feeling, being let go from something you poured your heart into. Especially when the values you held dear – client well-being, genuine connection, and frankly, family – got overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of profit. That's exactly what happened when my vision for a client-first landscaping company clashed with their insatiable hunger for the bottom line.

My priority was always clear: supporting my wife through her battle with cancer and being present for our three kids. That meant being available for appointments, being a true family man, and finding a balance where work served life, not the other way around. They chose money. I chose my family. And ultimately, I was fired for it.

But sometimes, getting knocked down is the universe's way of telling you to get back to your roots. This isn't about doing something wrong; it's about humbling myself, shedding the corporate greed, and rediscovering the genuine engagement and joy that first drew me to this work.

Now, I'm starting from the ground up, doing my own thing. It's about remembering why I loved landscaping in the first place – the honest work, the satisfied clients, and the ability to build something beautiful with my own hands. More importantly, it's about building a life where I'm truly present for my family, finding happiness and enjoyment in every small victory, and proving that you don't need to chase endless wealth to find true fulfillment.

This is my journey back to basics, back to genuine purpose, and back to myself.

You’ll do great! Leading your family and being present through trials is the right choice.

I’m open to that theory. He’s already answered for his association, so now protecting family.

GM, please stop saying nobody uses bitcoin P2P. There has never been an on chain bitcoin transaction that wasn’t P2P. You might not like some of the peers, but it’s still an uncensorable, final settlement(cash), transaction with no middleman, verifiable on an immutable open ledger.

HR is the intransigent minority that gets their way or throws a fit They often win. 🚁🙄

💯. When you choose the courageous response, then the next time the situation arises, your hands shake a bit less. Courage is both character and a learned response.
