Homeless? or maybe illegal immigrants maybe?
Literally preparing for the coming winter, I guess...
This man owned the Regent Street the other day. All the ladies would stop to listen to him sing and they were tipping nonstop... 😎
(I felt it would be inappropriate to interrupt his groove just to ask if I could zap him 😅)
Yesterday, the Telegraph reported on “new research” (https://web.archive.org/web/20230604225336/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06/04/first-lockdown-prevented-1700-deaths-landmark-study-finds/) which claims that lockdowns saved only 1700 lives in England and Wales. A “drop in the bucket” compared to the harms done:
The science of lockdowns is clear; the data are in: the deaths saved were a drop in the bucket compared to the staggering collateral costs imposed.”
This is not a revelation, it’s not an admission, it’s not the system checks-and-balances working. Rather, it is public relations, perception management. Just one more example of the revisionism we highlighted in the most recent…...

The people in charge during the lockdowns are still in charge today, to solve the problems they created (but are blaming Russia for)!
“Watch how our children are treated, and you will come to understand that the war is well underway.”
I lived in Dublin for three and a half years, that was twenty years ago. I remember I wanted to re-do my driving license there, but it was almost impossible to achieve it in a timely manner, for the same reasons you have mentioned. The waiting time for the driving exam was eight months!
Back then, the country's population had increased too fast, mostly from economic migrants, like me, who came to fill the many new jobs created in the tech industry, and the infrastructure was just not ready to cope with such an influx of new people. Everything seemed chaotic, and not to work...
I once sent my little one to a "science lab" for a week, he came back with strange and abhorrent ideas that were completely not age-appropriate, and had nothing to do with what the organisers had promised to teach the kids!
This was a wake-up call for me and I have since understood that we don't have to take a backseat when it come to the education of our kids.
My little one earns 100 sats for finishing a book (70 for comics). Since I started this 'bribe,' he reads more regularly.
Author Alfie Kohn (“Punished by Rewards”) disagrees with this approach, he makes a good case, but I considered counterarguments and went ahead anyway.
Today, we bought three new books. Can you guess which one I chose?

Today, I found an old wallet from my altcoin days. It had lost almost 90% in value, but still had relatively good money on it, though... 😎🙏
Yeah, It only rained downtown. There, it was back to normal half an hour later, as if nothing had happened...
Pretty basic construction of Nostr silent DM's that break the DM graph privacy nightmare.
Others probably have suggested the same thing because it's too damn simple and obvious of a solution. Still gonna put it up here, maybe someone has comments. Might become a NIP proposal if there is interest.
I've coded it up and it works quite nicely.

Nice. From what I remember of the DHKE, it is indeed very well suited for this use-case.
#nostr allows you to express yourself freely.

Could it be that the free speech he's referring to is now a relic of ancient times, now incompatible with today's diverse society?
I don't know the answer, but I'm curious to know what you think, guys...
Makes me want to say that how we choose to interact with each other on this public square is where the real value of nostr lies.
Nip-xyz, zaps, and other technological features are nice-to-have, important, but secondary.
Les rives du Danube, Budapest, au crépuscule du soir.

I shot it from inside the Semmelweis klinikák metro station....
Hailstorms, yesterday morning in Budapest!
