Are you kidding? once you try. you cannot pick, friend.
Top choices
Queen Anne,
Darjeeling tea, second flush,
Irish breakfast,
Early grey.
I can easily go broke.
You amplifier the taste with cream.
You can use heavy cream, shake it up like crazy(should be fluff, not buttered) and put into your tea.

Please reconsider to make a dedicated markdown editor, this can easily be expanded to serve as "spring" like experience. (As an option,via plugins or something)
Also, NIP-90 is coming out in the works, the most basic feature I can think of is RSS feeds, and weather. Similarly to obsidian which isnt OS. This could be useful to onboard Apple users and bypass the browser nonsense.

I woke up, made breakfast, watered the mini garden, stopped by mum's house with the little one to help her set up her greenhouse, took my dog for a walk, ran to the market to prepare for my date in a few hours, marinated the chicken and I just plopped down on the couch. 🥱

Don't forget to re-setup your relays after the update to v0.87+.
You should choose:
- Home Relays to store all your content. nostr.wine and relay.tools are good paid options. You can also use free relays: nostr.mom , nos.lol , etc
- Relays to store all zaps, likes and replies to your content. They might be the same as home relays if those home relays do not require payment to post. Nostr.wine would not be a good option here.
- Relays to use for DMs: Here you want a relay that anyone can post to but only you can download your messages. inbox.nostr.wine is a good option. Advanced settings on relay.tools personal relays can also store your DMs.
- Private Relays are for things no one should see, like your Drafts. There are no dedicated relays for this category yet, so I would use a local relay like Citrine.
- Search relays: hit the Default button to use all available options.
- Local relays: use Citrine.
- General relays. Delete those that you moved to their specific sections. Keep everything that can help find events from your follow list.
Let me know if you have any questions.

This woman is verging on hysteria, with a display of being overly emotional about somethung that doesn't warrant this sort of response in the slightest.
Her body language within the first few seconds make this very apparent, she is about to burst into tears. The solution is for her to ignore this stuff and focus on her own life, because she is being emotionally manipulated, just like many people, into believing there is a crisis which DOES NOT EXIST.
Climate hysteria is manufactured, just like pandemics are manufactured, just like wars are manufactured, all to keep us in a state of perpetual fear. Fear is an energy that these people need to elicit from us, because the ones they serve are feeding off of that negative, low vibrational energy.
This is a tale as old as time; ancient civilization would prey on and sacrifice the weak to their 'gods'. These gods are the same evil entities which a small group of people worship today. It sounds crazy, but once you start to connect the dots, it's really paints a clear picture of what is going on in the world today.

If people can change their gender, a social construct, I can change my race and age, also social constructs.
I now identify as a 65 year old Native American Indian. I'm not sure of what tribe yet though, but I demand my free land on a reservation.
And what about my cut from the casinos, with back pay?

🚨IMPORTANT UPDATE - GLOBAL CHAT 🚨
The Fedi team just informed us about upcoming improvements to the app. The most significant changes are related to the chat functionality.
👉Starting this Wednesday, May 29th, you will be able to use a single account for all your chats across all federations, without needing to enter each federation separately to check your chats.
Please ensure that your app is updated. If the app doesn't update automatically, make sure to update it from your app store.
When you update, the app will ask you for a username. This username will be the same for all federations you join from now on. You will have a display name that can be changed, but you won't be able to change the associated number that comes after your username followed by “#” (eg satoshi #87b).
As you create a new username, all of your current chats will be available in read-only mode. You will need to join and create your groups and DMs again.
🤑 Your wallet remains unchanged. But use this opportunity to do your social and personal backups.
🆘 Remember this is a Bravo version. This means you might experience issues. If you find any bugs or have suggestions for the Fedi team, please report them to Support located in the home of the app.

People really don't realize how utterly dependent modern surveillance is on the idea that everybody is carrying a phone — which is always tracked. Their car has a cellular modem in it — which is always tracked. 99% of investigation is one guy and a search box. If you're not low-hanging fruit, you aren't gonna merit the Eye of Sauron of manual, well-resourced, focused team attention—and if you did, you probably planned ahead for it, right? Because it's not a mystery what would get you on Santa's Naughty List.
Anyway, the point is that even in a big city, the phoneless guy in a "covid" mask is going to be invisible to anything less than that exhaustive manual investigation — at least for a few more years. That may go away once they start networking all the cameras and having AI start trying to match up clothing sets moving from camera to camera, butthat capability is hard to hide, so it'll be in the news. And it won't work that well in places with less camera density and, perhaps, for people who wear the most-common outfits (the visual equivalent of a "shared fingerprint").
Remember: Phones are useful, but dangerous. And the people who will still wear covid masks to the beach are helping to normalize facial obscurity—regardless of their intention. Don't be mean to them. Encourage them to wear them everywhere. For passport photos. In police booking photos. At the customs desk. Family portraits! The sky is the limit—let them push the boundaries so that you don't have to.

Old diesel engines will run on straight vegetable oil in a warm climate, with no modifications.
In a colder climate you have to be aware that it gels, which requires methods to negate that.
Petrol/Gasoline engines are a non starter regarding vegetable oil.
You can convert those to run on ethanol, hydrogen, LPG, woodgas, that kind of thing.

A lot of people have heard my moped story but I don’t think I’ve ever told the story of my extremely cheap wedding lol 😂
I got married in 2016, at the time I was aggressively stacking sats and trying to be as frugal as possible.
So I convinced my fiancée to have the wedding in our backyard to save money.
Total cost was under $5,000 which included the dress and her ring (seriously). So how did I pull that off when weddings in America routinely cost 30-50k?
Here’s how…
1. Ring: Her ring is fake. More specifically it’s a moissanite which is a lab grown gemstone that looks like a diamond but isn’t a diamond. My wife was on board with this because it allowed her to get a much bigger stone than she otherwise would have and no one can tell the difference. Total cost: $1,200
2. Dress: When it came time to pick out the dress I didn’t want to interfere, so I just let her mom and sister go pick one out with her. She didn’t have a budget, but she was fully bought into my crazy money saving plan and found a dress she loved that only cost $500. That’s how you know you’re marrying the right girl. Total cost: $500
3. Venue: Free obviously because we did it in our backyard, but I did spend a little buying gifts for the neighbors because we were going to be making a lot of noise. Total cost: $200
4. Tables & chairs: We rented these, something to understand when it comes to rentals. When I called vendors for this wedding I didn’t tell any of them it was a wedding. I used the word “event” on the phone. This makes everything 30% cheaper. Total cost: $600
5. Decorations: we bought a nice metal arch to get married under for $300 and then we spent an additional $500 on lanterns, tablecloths, candles, fake flowers etc… I put them all up myself. Total cost: $800
6. Drinks: Instead of having a fancy bar with a bartender or whatever I went to Costco bought a bunch of wine and beer, threw it in a cooler and called it a day. Total cost: $500
7. Music: at this point in the thread you really think I’m hiring a fancy DJ for this shit? lol no we had a Bluetooth speaker. Total cost: $200
8. Food: instead of doing some BS catering company we got a taco cart guy. Taco cart guy is the shit, you should really have one of these at every event. Everyone loved this dude and said they were some of the best tacos they’ve ever had. Total cost: $500
9. Photo/video: Even though I was running a production company at this time we decided to skip the video altogether. Why? Because nobody ever watches it. Plus my business partner and crew members were going to be attending the wedding. The only thing you want is that one photo of you walking down the aisle that you’re going to hang in the house. So I hired a good photographer I knew in town to show up for 20 mins and take a few shots of the ceremony. Total cost: $400
Bringing the grand total for the backyard wedding to $4,900
The wedding was so out of the norm by modern standards, that my new father in law pulled me aside and suggested I was being too frugal and needed to loosen up a bit. I smiled and nodded politely and then continued right along my path. My wife was on board, I was on board. We had a vision for our future. No one was going to stop me, no matter how “well intentioned” A vision I’m happy to report we are living today.
You want different results than others? You gotta do different shit than they do. Be weird. People will judge you for it, but it won’t matter, because in the end you’ll win.
Today we look back fondly on our cheap wedding. 10/10 would recommend.

Trump’s pitch to Libertarian voters is that if he's re-elected, he’ll push for Ross Ulbricht’s life sentence to be commuted.
**"However, during his 2024 re-election campaign announcement two years ago, Trump called on Congress to pass a law mandating the death penalty for drug dealers."**
Whistleblower Chelsea Manning was initially sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2013 for leaking classified documents. But in one of his last moves in office, former President Barack Obama commuted her sentence.
She was released on May 17, 2017, after serving about 7 years of her original sentence in isolation and excessively harsh conditions.
**In response to Manning’s first column for The Guardian since her commutation, Trump tweeted that Manning was an “ungrateful traitor” and should “never have been released.”**
Trump will say anything to get re-elected. He is an authortarian xenophobe, an impeached former President who has faced multiple legal proceedings.
Even now, as someone eloquently put it:
**"He is not being prosecuted in the middle of his campaign.
He is campaigning in the middle of his prosecutions."**
It’s a psyop.
I don't trust politicians in general, but I especially don't trust Trump. He is a pathological liar, a danger to democracy, who has given the American people far too many reasons not to.
We need another candidate to choose from. The window is closing, but there's still time.
If it comes down to picking my poison, it sure as hell won't be Trump.

It's a convenient way for many people to shift blame for their own shortcomings, and its way easier than working toward better health.
These things become psychological contagions, and these contagions can spread quickly online.
People are tribal, so they can form tribes around these issues. They even get special treatment in society too, and who doesn't want to feel special?
It's got to the stage where mental health issues are used as badges of honour, the more the better.
Just look at corporate social media profile bios.

The Dunning-Krueger-Psychopaths are not smart, and they prefer brute force methods.
Remember 2016 and all the complaints about the election being stolen?
Because despite all the election "fortification", the Trump train overwhelmed the system.
Did you see how the Democrats discussing where they went wrong on policy, how to correct and appeal to voters? Of course not, as narcissists and psychopaths are never wrong, it's everything/everyone else that's wrong. In their heads they are above making mistakes.
I'm sure the Democrats have the election in the bag anyway, because something like 2016 must never happen again, as it would be a threat to ourDemocracy™️.

Tax Havens vs. Tax Hells: The Difference Needed By The Sovereign Individual
Seychelles is one of the smallest countries in Africa (and the world), but it has a GDP per capita of 7.5x the continent's average.
https://image.nostr.build/e00c2d7568444cb256cffcf38d38021e8effe9dfba16de24f156495db75fe590.jpg
Seychelles is considered a tax haven, because has a very low tax regime that attracts many foreign business, so it is blacklisted by the G20 countries, Fiscal Hells, due to its extremely low tax rates and financial secrecy policies.
There is no capital gains tax, inheritance tax, or withholding tax in Seychelles. The corporate tax rate is only 15%, and there is no tax on dividends, interest, or royalties.
Seychelles also has no restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies.
Seychelles has developed a robust offshore financial services sector, including banking, insurance, and fund management.
In addition to the favorable tax environment, Seychelles also has strict financial privacy laws, making it an attractive destination.
