Being obsessed about health isnt' healthy. Sleep well, move a lot, fresh air and as little processed food and exposure to as much natural materials as possible. Don't work in a chemical based industry...agriculture construction, most manufacturing... And you'll probably live a while, healthy. Of course theres always the car Crash, plane Crash, trip and fall lueking on all our shoukder

With ever increasing officialdom overreach "to keep us safe" It was interesting taking to someone Who grew Up in former east Germany. Ask me a dumb question like "Where have you just been?" and I give them a dumbass response. Democracies don't ask questions like that, dictatorshios do." He should know.

Talked to a teenager about the days of cameras with rolls of film. Said theyd seen one in a movie. To balance the scales they asked me what riz means. Crickets. #generation-gap

Tried to Orange pill a bar on basis of avoid Visa Payment. They have a 1000€ account where they pay minimal commission- it runs through their bank. Harder sell to convince tem their funda are safer on lightning or BTC Network .

Hopefully the decisions on dealing with this are based on wisdom and not purely tech-head nous.

Double check they are actually a bitcoiner themselves and not playing straight into Fiat games relying on the system they are trying to leave

Decentralised communication built on encrypted keypairs has to work.Ditto Bitcoin has to work.

Under the current gatekeeper paradigm, you don t own your emails. You surrender your money to the bank's control, and you are beholden to their policies. It is a lunatic running the asylum system making idiots and slaves of everyone involved except the few controlling your emails, the fruits of your money, your energy.

If it's truly MY bank account then give me the archive and I'll tout It around other banks to see what deal they Will give me. If they risk my money, they pay ME more to have my account etc. As It stands it's the bank's account and they give you sole access to It. And make you feels grateful for solving a fuck Up their system caused.

Bitcoin and lightning and nostr exist, the legacy system is exposed for it's backwards approach to security and privacy. Photos and SS numbers and telephone numbers, all stealable are woven together into a Swiss cheese of security bollocks, even though the tech leads at all these Institutions know damn well that PGP is now usable for everyone and a private and public key blows all their arcane and shite intrusive approaches out the wáter..

end of rant after 2 hours on a tech support call with intelligent people with little wisdom reduced to endibg TVE call with a plea for me to say they were helpful. If their energy were better used, the world would be a better place

https://youtu.be/np_ylvc8Zj8 hey nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy this is the original exposę of how so many dodgy financial roads lead to the City of London. Devious does t even come close to describing these people.

People need to understand the problem Bitcoin solves. Til then It is an abstract idea. Most people don't do abstract. Dabbling in bitcoin is not an option when you see just how bad Fiat is.

I pay 10€ / month for data, so 19 for a mission control is alright 👍

Puede continuar. That's what the Guardia Civil say when they can't find a reason to mess with you. Cheers

Not crazy expensive. You may continúe.😄

Roughly whats the cost of that tariff?.

You can Enjoy all those vices on the internet too. ☺️

Isnt' wifi a bit old fashioned these days? Unlimited data and hotspots seems reliable and €15/month cheap. I only have simple needs compared to your mission control 😄.

I used to rig up a paint pad on a stick which works a bit better than a roller. But still a Pain. Wheres a plumber when you need one!

Crazy type 2 diabetes stats mentioned in the podcast. In practice It is self inflicted but navigating processed food in a busy busy lifestyle sounds like navigating social media. There's a lot of professionals focused on getting the public hooked on whats bad for them.

Is It a Nostr door with a secret Key?

A hell of a lot of beer and wine in local bars in rural Spain 🥴

Everyone thinks they do a good job though.

The pressure of inflation is really starting to bite in my part of Spain. Under the pressure of Rising prices and falling real income, people are going to say and do headless things that Will make them cringe looking back.

Spain is full of enterprising people, youth is also on their side. But the tax system and the money printing system are destroying enterprise. The financial system is also driving rural populations into cities, robbing the countryside of guardians of the land as well as opportunity.

I looked hard at a rural business development loan and Saw through It. It was set Up to trap me into the self employed system for several years, convincing me I would be getting ahead when the reality after expenses is glaringly the opposite. Did you know the average self employed person in Spain earns 700€ a month! The benefits system makes that feasible, but what a waste of resources.

Listening to an online scam expert, the modus operandi of many scamsters could be levelled at government policies - lure you into a "safe space" before extorting you.

Similar charges that the govt decides Who bad Guy terrorists are, when govts themselves use violence vía their police and armed forces to achieve their own political aims.

It is so easy to point fingers and escalate the divisions and inequalities, but It it's getting time to decide not to.

Understand that financial issues stress everyone into daft decisions and reactions - the local business cutting service and serving crap just to make ends meet needs support, just as the customers need to tell them to wise Up or lose all custom. Ditto govts and políticians need to be constructively confronted and told that their reliance on the Fiat system has to change else all walls Will come tumbling down, no moat wide or Deep enough to protect anyone in the system, especially the fiat wealthy.

To the recent nostr:nprofile1qqsywt6ypu57lxtwj2scdwxnyrl3sry9typcstje65x7rw9a2e5nq8spz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skc2zw4kf newsletter, I was harrassed by local bank into going in to a branch to confirm legal requirements. I have under 100€ in the account. They asked me a question and the teller ticked the box...nothing changed in 4 years. They are clowns, clueless and dumb box tickers. Play their game is easy when you have no stake in their stupidity. The worst case is they sanction your account. Ooooh.

Nostr, free speech unleashed, is on the correct path when you read this about attacks from anti freedom governments in bed with corporations. Nostr should end Up with all the info we need to arrive at a balanced view. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/18/jimmy-kimmel-stephen-colbert-cancelled-free-speech

Explained the limits of a machine we use, including demo, and It performed perfectly. But at the end of their session the customer was dissatisfied with the machine's performance. Not sure what to say, except, oh well, we managed their expectations and they chose to raise the bar to an unrealistic height.

So what do you reckon is going on when you "can't dance"? I have written loads of music and love music but like a woodentop on the dance floors.

I wish I could dance. It's that extra spiritual dimensión just out of reach :)

It's doing the average that keeps the average down

The UK tax system isnt' toobad compared to europe.

Is there a way to host a replit app on Nostr somehow? Nostr.build ? I know enough to be dangerous.

Did your Twitter followers join you on Nostr?

Orange pilling a friend I helped them set up a lightning wallet to receive a few sats to play with. Next thing they are trying to send the sats to revolut. He said I was crazy when I said the whole point is to at least control your own wallet, if not be your own bank. To my horror they think it is illegal not to use a bank for handling money! How can you declare anything to irs if the funds aren't in a bank?! Madness. LIke, I cant declare the current value of my house because it is not in a bank?

Also they were incredulous when I suggested that to protect their privacy they should only give an alias/anon email address, not sign in with Google... ngmi,

Adoption has a long long way to go, because these guys are closer to young hippy than mainstream boomer.

Just found out that the tabby Cat I have been feeding the last few months isnt' our tom cat. I suggested we call the imposter Mr Ripley but to add insult to stupidity, it turns out he is a female. Cats really are cleverer than us.

I just added azzamo premium relay to the list in Amethyst under general relays. Is there anything else to do to make the best use of It?

Have you got a link to what you mean?

I believe our ancestors "worked" 15 hours a week to keep body and soul together. The first two episodes of my podcast I show how I blended work, which I actually enjoyed, with projects and travel. Until my forties I was often criticised for not sticking at anything, always off on some adventure. I never had a mortgage or nice things! but somehow I did OK and mastered my craft without chasing the buck. If you want stuff though, you have to knuckle down. But at least on a Bitcoin standard the light at the end of the tunnel should get forever closer, not further away.

Didn't a Guy get in Big trouble with police when he walked out the toilet at a US airport and apologised to everyone for "dropping a bomb". We are definitely living in a two stall system.

I'm set Up to accept Bitcoin. I dont know the answer yet, but perhaps the answer to convincing customers to use Bitcoin líes in the price and discount.

I charge the high hundreds/ low thousands for my services. Will a 20% discount make It worth people's while to get with the program to save literally hundreds?

Past experience says a high value discount on a proven market price should be more enticing ( to put Up with a bit of friction) than 20% off a coffee.

We shall see. Dabbling in some research, It is clear that there needs to be a clear set of instructions about where to exchange € for BTC, set Up a wallet on the fly. One person thought Bitcoin cash would be fine, surely. Make no assumptions!

#asknostr 100sats to the first one to spot why the red roller sleeve is better designed for #painting walls than the rest.

It's called the Red Feather part of the custom #Wooster Sherlock rolling system. It is suede-flock so holds loads of paint and lays it off very smooth. 4.5" long...not particularly unique, but it has something else really useful about it.
