Yeah, I've been pricing vehicles recently and it's rough. I'm driving a 2020 Subaru Outback with around 125k on the odometer and considering passing it on to my daughter when she gets her license. I guess if I do that, it may be the first time in 20 years I will have to finance a car.

Here's an updated version, which brings in the COVID nonsense. The whole pdf can be downloaded from https://humanprogress.org/time-pricing-and-mark-perrys-latest-chart-of-the-century/ and has some other interesting bits in it (did housing prices in average wage hours actually go down between 2000 and 2024?)

I agree with you, and noticed that this is an older chart. Here's the version published in March 2025. You'll see there's a definite tick up in car prices over the last few years.

Wouldn't looking at NIP-17 as inspiration be useful? You could establish the back channel in a similar way to that then update the npub via that back channel.

I'm not sure it's very valuable, but that's how I would begin thinking about it.

My dating app profile is one picture of me, the rest memes.

Whoa, that's nice. Discovery could be better, though. I've been using Amethyst since I got on Nostr and never knew this.

I'm hoping BOLT 12, but no idea.

Are men really that bad at it? It's not hard, just takes a little effort and attention to detail.

Actually, now that I think about it, it's probably a tabletop war game. I'd Kickstart that.

Yep, but that wouldn't be good for a crypto guy to admit.

Prediction: he will say he un-installed his nostr client. Funnier if he says he lost his nsec, but he's probably smart enough to say "deleted" instead.

It was apparently called the Atrix. And Asus had a PadFone that was similar. And I guess neither was a full Linux experience.

Didn't Motorola or someone produce something like this 10 or more years ago? Even sold a "laptop " to dock it to, for extra battery and full keyboard experience on the go.

You're reading way more into what I'm saying than intend. Is it really so radical to say that maybe, had the western world brought Russia into the fold and treated them like an equal while encouraging improvement where needed 35 years ago, we would likely have been in a better place than we are now?
