The more people are like this, the less people will be like this.
I think what I'm highlighting (well nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn90p68yctzd968xtnfduq3jamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwpskcctwv35jucmvda6kgqpqt289s8ck5qfwynf2vsq49t2kypvvkpj7rhegayrur0ag9s2sezaqggvcjg made me) is that running lightning node doesn't mean that you are sweating with some server where you manually run lnd and you are rebalancing channels in the middle of the night. In 2025 running lightning node can also easily mean "install Phoenix" and go surfing...
On desktop when you open many Primal tabs, it freezes and stops loading.
When you use Phoenix wallet you run a node on your phone. It's missing NWC and couple other things, but good for the self custodial cases.
What does "4chan" imply for you?
At those amounts the amount itself doesn't matter (literally, you can make up any amount...). What matters to people is cashflow and 1 billy annually is juicy.
No, keep primal for easy zapping. You can send sats to/from strike later.
Under $100 is ok to keep in Primal.
A step better is to withdraw to another lightning wallet, but unfortunately the good ones are blocked in the US (it's possible to install, but quite tricky on iPhone. If you have android, we can guide you).
Using lightning (like what Primal has) for anything over $500 doesn't currently make sense and so at those amounts you should get a "hardware wallet" (I hear Bitkey is simple to use, I like Trezor... we can give you more options if you ask).
When you get over couple thousand $, then it make sense to create strong backup solutions that are provided by Casa and similar companies.
Another option is to come to Costa Rica, or El Salvador or other places where you can actually spend the sats (from your Primal, or another wallet, doesn't matter). There are a bunch of online stores where you can also pay with bitcoin from your Primal. Or using your primal you can buy gift cards for Amazon, Target or anything and use the sats that way.
And I'm amazed how fast she understood the main points. I have not seen anyone to comprehend this much in just one week.
To the point where I'm a bit worried that this is fake and some old school bitcoiner gave her the exact points to say.
Imagine being her daughter and learning that your mom is on nostr, is getting zapped bitcoin, is actually coherently understanding how is the money system set up to screw most of the people in the US.
That's just so cool. 💜
Yeah, that's a massive one! It goes around the paywalls for medical papers.
Also if you want to get any (ANY!) book for e-readers, then Anna's is the place.
I found a trick how to get really solid news on Stacker News home feed. 💡 🤔
You need to block the territories you don't like!
I muted 17 territories and now I enjoy like 80% of the home posts.

Are there details on DOGE saving billions?
Beautiful bioluminescence of the microscopic organism known as sea sparkles (Noctiluca scintillans).

I have experienced this and it's super cool. It makes you wonder what stuff you swim in though the next day...
Sci Hub or Anna's archive is your friend for inaccessible "doi"s.
Americans would pay some serious taxes to not have to use the bottlecaps.
Reminds me of Salad Fingers and its proclivity for spoons and rust...

I can drink two gallons of beer in a longer evening though. Maybe that counts?
When I was younger I had to design different floating point operations using microcode.
And that was fun. That's the layer where you decide where the actual "physical" 1s and 0s go and its just one layer above talking voltages...
The fun part is that there are all sorts of tricks to optimize the number of tics it takes to do some more complicated assembly instruction.
Lets look at more context while we wait for nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpzdmhxue69uhkzmr8duh82arcduhx7mn9qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcam28zl.
Most vaccines are compared to saline as a placebo as demonstrated by the examples above, or this trial on a dengue vaccine (doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30682-6.) for another example. This is actually the cheaper and less laborious thing to do. In some situations something else is used (e.g. a different vaccine or the adjuvants). For example, if you want to prove superiority or non-inferiority of a new vaccine it makes sense to compare the new vaccine to an established one. Another reason might be ethical considerations. Is it acceptable to withhold an effective vaccine from half of the study population? Regulatory requirements might be a third reason why it could be necessary to use something else than saline.
As with most things in life, when you look beyond the first superficial outrage and excitement there is a lot more nuance under the surface.
I'm interested in more details from nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpzdmhxue69uhkzmr8duh82arcduhx7mn9qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcam28zl .
As an engineer I get triggered when someone uses the word "all" (or "impossible").
If they use "all" and then there are negative examples, then the person is wrong, lying, manipulating, or just being dumbass.
Use that type of speak when you talk to government or lawyers, not to other nostriches.
