Software engineer, outdoor enthusiast, occasional ham radio operator, aspiring hunter and homesteader, bitcoiner, neopagan druid, used to race sailboats, too many hobbies to list. Based in Northern Virginia. I don't like, only zap.

Sounds similar to Wire transfers (vs ACH) in the US. Costs, but all the security work on the bank's part is up-front before they tell you it's sent. I had to send one a while back (down payment on a house) and my bank waived the fee, and it showed up quick. Not Bitcoin quick, but still, quick.

The picture is actually a spider web from my carport a few days ago, because I didn't take any pictures today, but #proofofwalk

Maybe it's supposed to be undergrad only? I'd push Architecture up a bit, and maybe physics down, but it depends on the point. Earning potential? Difficulty? Likelihood of getting a job in the field?

Personally, I use 21 sats (21 because of the limit of 21 million bitcoin) as a "like".

Not even slightly triggered, and I don't mind reading it. Just suggesting you broaden the arguments. Please think of it as constructive criticism.

Not that I disagree, but not a strong argument for the growing part of the population that's not Christian.

100% on keeping it in the hands of users. But I also like the idea of making it easy to fall into the "pit of success" as far as moderating your own environment to be something we want.

It seems to me we already have most of this native-built with parameterized replaceable lists, so there's no need to go outside of Nostr for it at all. All we'd need is a few more contexts such as "always-hide", "always-show", "always-obscure", as well as a list-o-lists type that basically allows me to publish a set of lists that define my experience.

Then all that would need to happen is for clients to support it, and most users to be at least a little polite about tagging their content.

And, as a bonus, if it's super easy to swap them out, we could better understand the experience of others by basically seeing Nostr through their eyes by temporarily taking on their lists. So if someone is complaining about all the X content, we won't be tempted to say, "I don't see any X, you must be making it up, and instead I can look.

It's actually just the Norwegian Rune Poem but written in Eldar Futhark characters for flavor.

ᚠ Fé vældr frænda róge;

føðesk ulfr í skóge.

ᚢ Úr er af illu jarne;

opt løypr ræinn á hjarne.

ᚦ Þurs vældr kvinna kvillu;

kátr værðr fár af illu.

ᚬ Óss er flæstra færða

fǫr; en skalpr er sværða.

ᚱ Ræið kveða rossom væsta;

Reginn sló sværðet bæzta.

ᚴ Kaun er barna bǫlvan;

bǫl gørver nán fǫlvan.

ᚼ Hagall er kaldastr korna;

Kristr skóp hæimenn forna.

ᚾ Nauðr gerer næppa koste;

nøktan kælr í froste.

ᛁ Ís kǫllum brú bræiða;

blindan þarf at læiða.

ᛅ Ár er gumna góðe;

get ek at ǫrr var Fróðe.

ᛋ Sól er landa ljóme;

lúti ek helgum dóme.

ᛏ Týr er æinendr ása;

opt værðr smiðr blása.

ᛒ Bjarkan er laufgrønstr líma;

Loki bar flærða tíma.

ᛘ Maðr er moldar auki;

mikil er græip á hauki.

ᛚ Lǫgr er, fællr ór fjalle

foss; en gull ero nosser.

ᛦ Ýr er vetrgrønstr viða;

vænt er, er brennr, at sviða.

And English:

ᚠ Fe

Wealth is a source of discord among kinsmen;

the wolf lives in the forest.

ᚢ Ur

Dross comes from bad iron;

the reindeer often races over the frozen snow.

ᚦ Thurs

Giant causes anguish to women;

misfortune makes few men cheerful.

ᚬ As

Estuary is the way of most journeys;

but a scabbard is of swords.

ᚱ Reidh

Riding is said to be the worst thing for horses;

Reginn forged the finest sword.

ᚴ Kaun

Ulcer is fatal to children;

death makes a corpse pale.

ᚼ Hagall

Hail is the coldest of grain;

Christ created the world of old.

ᚾ Naudhr

Constraint gives scant choice;

a naked man is chilled by the frost.

ᛁ Isa

Ice we call the broad bridge;

the blind man must be led.

ᛅ Ar

Plenty is a boon to men;

I say that Frodi was generous.

ᛋ Sol

Sun is the light of the world;

I bow to the divine decree.

ᛏ Tyr

Tyr is a one-handed god;

often has the smith to blow.

ᛒ Bjarkan

Birch has the greenest leaves of any shrub;

Loki was fortunate in his deceit.

ᛘ Madhr

Man is an augmentation of the dust;

great is the claw of the hawk.

ᛚ Logr

A waterfall is a River which falls from a mountain-side;

but ornaments are of gold.

ᛦ Yr

Yew is the greenest of trees in winter;

it is wont to crackle when it burns.

Ah, nice. Part of what was throwing me was the bare Fehu at the beginning, and I didn't look far enough to realize it repeated. That would have given the runes poem nature away.

I'm giving up, my reference material doesn't help with the runes themselves, and I'm more familiar with the Elder Futharc.

Great, I was about to go to bed, but now I have to translate that...

Depends how much you like Asatru?

Marketing Departments don't help. Case in point: Microsoft. Do you want the XBox One X, or the XBox Series X?
