I think the word Faith is central to my problem with religion. You HAVE faith, not convinced by the evidence into faith. (That is at least the picture I have gotten after speeking to and reading religious people)
Good example could be to compare https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Importance_of_religion_by_country
All top 5 in HDI are in 20 twenty of lowest importance of religion.

The argument that religious beliefs are good for society is IMO very week. I see very little correlation between safe, prosperous, high-trust societies and religious beliefs.
What I see is religion beeing used as an effective excuses to do what you would have otherwise already done, bee it good and bad.
The issues with that is of course that we often exempt religious beliefs from the scrutiny and demands we place on other beliefs. Both demands from within and for each others.
People ask for features but reliability often has a bigger impact on experience.
America is really good at things that private enterprise does well. Other things like planning cities and generally creating a society where people thrive, not so much.
It is very dangerous to use past performance as an indicator for future performance. We bitcoin maxis should also remember that more often for what it's worth.
Do you want to produce an OS image?
Hashtag emojis can easily be changed later, so just go for it and if someone have a better idea later it can just change.
Reminds me of the the saying. Most people overestimate what can happen in a year and underestimate what can happen in a decade.
2 years is such an incredible short time. Applying general purpose technology takes time.
Compose probably turned 3 hours of work setting up my relay to 20 minutes. dB, relay, proxy. Glue the stuff together and done!
I prefer using containers and docker-compose to configure it all.
Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yml force me to document what I had to do to get something working.

I do not envy the politician that want to try and enact this as a policy... 🙈
Higher taxes would reduce velocity right? VAT/income tax will shrink the money supply in proportion to the velocity. If money moves really fast it will be taxed much more than if it just sits still in a bank account.
I think this clearly shows that regular people should never know there is a lightning network nor that there is something called on chain.
bitcoin should just take 2 seconds to send and cost 2 cents.
Merchants accepting bitcoin in a way that does not meet this requirement is doing the network more harm than good right now.
Worried about the #[0] trend. Feels like the proof of stake version of nostr while paid relays with lightning is the proof of work version.
The user experience of having to convince 5 people you are not a bot before gaining proper access to the platform seems bad.
If this is popular you might have issues to get the attention of verified people beacuse they filter out non verified bots.
Reminds me of the torrenting sites where you where required to build a reputation by seeding but it was essentially impossible to get a good ratio as a new user.
The decentralization aspect is troubling as well. This does not look to be just another NIP. It is by putting some people at the top of a trust hierarchy.
Finnaly a good use of decentraliserad social media! On our way to the forest in the cargo bike! #DogsOfNostr
Depending on where you are coming from, but making home made food, listening to when you are full, varied foods including vegtable/fruit, and reduce sugar goes a long way.
Processed meat and beef can also be good to reduce, appears in a lot of studies in the wrong column. Incorporating som lentils, peas, and/or beans are good. Olive oil also. I am a fan of the milder taste of canola oil for cooking.
