Personally I think the story is a convoluted mix and match of catch phrases and half-truths cobbled together into the disenchanted western male/Brics taking over/gold bug(and seemingly now many bitcoiners) view of the world that, frankly, is fueled by online psycho-paranoia psyop aimed at the "west".
IMO click bait engagement had become the mainstay of mainstream media and, ironically, the very "new" influencers, who seemingly offered, quite vocally, to provide an alternative to msm on social media, are proving no better.
TLDR......so what?

We used to sprout the seeds too. We cooked with them but mostly my wife used it for doing something on her hair or scalp, I'm not expert on that! Sprouting is quite good because then you don't need to rely on someone else having it fresh in the market.

I've asked before but I'll have another go. Is it possible for clients that have the "Trending Notes" feature to give users the option to show/hide that in a client. Personally, I find that I don't pay attention to trending notes in that column but I understand many perhaps do like the trending algo. In the spirit of choice isn't it possible to allow users to disable it in the client?

Agree but as that state model becomes more prominent, getting ahead and making it increasingly involves playing that finger pointing game. We who do hit mute and don't go along find ourselves further marginalised and, for our own safety, forced to remain somewhat silent and less able to express our views. Speaking in code and being distrustful is a reality.

I don't want be be doomful but we shouldn't underestimate the ability of the state to inspire spite and resentment in those who then feel themselves responsible to give a fuck. "Fengqiao Experience" as a governance model.

In HK the slang for a small bird with very similar status and habit as the robin is "Pig shit bird"(Copsychus saularis). I always wondered about that name and then a few years ago I saw a documentary about robins in Europe and how they used to always follow behind the wild pigs around as the pigs were rummaging and digging up the ground. The robin's now have human friends to help with that so they'll like to hang out with the human diggers.

First thoughts on mullvad browser for nostr on desktop
snort.social painful slow load, pfp and username on notes doesn't load.......Feed essentially doesn't really load and after a time mullvad pops a warning that page is slowing browser down too much so stop page. Pity cause I love snort when it's firing on all cylinders.
primal.net........fires on all cylinders. Pity cause I don't really prefer primal.
Coracle.social......works well. Only issue is having to sign a type13 event pop up for each notification. Maybe coracle settings?

I advocate hodl don't trade for the overwhelming majority of people but I do admit I have a morbid fascination with watching, over time, the degen aspect of what happens in the bitcoin space. I have a thought. Given that the more desperate/less affluent people become, the more they tend to take bigger risk and gamble, are we actually going to see comparatively even more of that in the coming months. Lessons learnt from the 2020/2021 be damned and is there an even bigger cohort of yolo folk queued up ready for the slaughter?

Yea, it's wild that the old timber wasn't valued by anyone and just chucked. I've got a few ideas of some things I might do with it.

2024-06-03 13:35:45

I'm a simple man and derive happiness from simple things. My wife might add a -ton to that description but back to the story.
Last year after a heavy rain, I was clearing up debris from the stream next to my house. I found a plank of wood and decided to keep it. It was fairly non-descript but a really hard wood and if I hit it against the concrete it almost rings like a metal bar. Earlier this year, also after a heavy rain flood, again clearing the stream, I found another plank. Two days ago another. They measure 48" x 3 3/4 x 1 1/2 and as can be seen are tongue and grooved. Reckon they've got some fair age to them but what really gets me is how, after being out in the tropical elements for so long, they still are so strong and ,as you can see in the photo, pretty dam straight. I'm guessing flooring that was chucked from a demolished old house and maybe(?) made of Teak. I'll be heading up stream to look for more soon. 🫡

Yea, probably could say the overall impressions around bitcoin generally are a tech/degen trader/politics/financial type bias across most media. The rugged entrepreneur/homestead type aspect is definitely something, like you say, that's cool to see on nostr.

What food do you consume that you would consider bitter? Do you often consume or search out for the bitter taste?
Personally I'm a big eater of bitter gourd but other than that there are probably only a handful of leafy greens or maybe some herbs that would fall into the bitter taste category. Is it because bitter is maybe associated with poison so that's why it is a less common taste in our diets?

I've been recently really coming to appreciate the tradition and culture of hand tools and how, imo, the cheap production of low quality tools, both hand and electric, might be taking a toll on various culture's traditions. The knowledge, techniques and skills that were passed down over the centuries look to be easily forgotten. This hotel must have been constructed by a multitude of skilled tradespeople all using hand tools!
