Lol i just woke up my brain is still booting. I should coffee before I nostr

Meh. I need a license to drive a car. The state government has all of this information already. Me having to organize it to show them really doesn't hurt me. I need a passport to fly internationally. It's basically the same thing. What is dumb is having to give it all to them for a second time to get TSA Precheck. They already have all of it. Why continue to give it to them and pay for them to verify that what they have matches what you gave them. It should be easier.

Fuck, Bitcoin Twitter is dire these days.

Facebook is always listening to your mic too. I’m the only one in our house that refuses to use it and I get stuff on my Amazon Prime feed that I speak about with the girls. It happens at least once a week. It’s creepy. And the worst part is, you can be as fastidious as you want about your own electronic security and if the people around you aren’t and your image or name appears anywhere in their posts, or you’re listed as a spouse it’s working up metadata on you even if you’re not a user of the app. Between Google, Meta and everyone other big tech company including the hardware manufacturers, they can pretty much deduce how many times you’ve used the bathroom in a single day.

I noticed this week that for the first time, when my wife sends me a picture and text on iMessage while I am driving and I click on the message on my vehicle’s display to receive the content without looking at my phon, not only does it read me the text message but it gives me a detailed description of the content. Two days ago when I was on the road, she sent me a pic of her and my daughter and a couple of their fellow volunteer firefighters standing in front of a fire truck and it said “(wife’s name) sent you a picture of 5 people standing in front of a fire truck with a partly cloudy blue sky in the background. So every picture you send now on iMessage is now receiving some level of AI analysis. Including, I’m sure, any racy pics couples share. It’s so much deeper than anyone has been led to believe.

It is not a problem if we are still few on Nostr, we should be proud of what we have done.

The problem, however, will be when there are many of us, because I can guarantee you, #Nostr will never be as good as it is now.

Cool! What do you have in mind and what kind of deadline? I may not have time until late August/September.

I’ve been doing this before and after I took elliott to the park. Don’t worry i am efficient i wasn’t just doing this all day

Neither did I. I learned though, after I recharged a consumer-brand battery for the sixth time in 24hrs and it bricked. Eventually I opened the case (three Phillips screws, one security, need extra-long shanks) and found the 18650 cells were fine (~4.1v).

Five dollars worth of Chinese control board (specific to that tool brand) later, it was back in business. That was pre-COVID. Still works today, though I've replaced one of the cells.

Manufacturers all maintain separate brand identities for contractor and consumer tools. They're often (internally) identical, except for price - and DRM.

Buy a contractor brand from a tradesman-focussed store, not your big box hardware store. Buy once, cry once; or prepare to learn more about your tools than you wanted to :D

I wonder if these work well 🤔
