Last Notes npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl FR. I've pretty much thrown bitcoin at every available internet product that seemed worth it. I've even bought multiple hardware wallets. Overall it's been a great experience. But I'm not zapping someone $5 for a meme. Nostr needs more users and more Bitcoiners; not whales. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I find videos of people's morning espresso workflows both infuriating and fascinating. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Holy shit! 🤯 Look at this huge V4V zap I just got on my deep thoughts! npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I don't mind holding doors for people but sometimes I wish we could just install automatic doors everywhere and be done with it. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl How did you add a Monero payment target? What does that process look like? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I hope. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It's the shuffle and meltdown at the end that sells it. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Truth here. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Because I'm smelling it everywhere, including on the highway. I'm holding doors for groups of laughing idiots. I'm speaking to customer service personnel and cashiers who are obviously stoned out of their gourd. All of these fools have had the exact same obvious tells, infuriatingly sluggish comprehension and idiotic facial expressions. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl We need to make weed illegal again. It's too popular and it's making people retarded. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Crazy stuff npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl My latest acquisition. No reason at all. 🙃 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl https://blossom.primal.net/47f6ba984e3e710723d4955f96b7109f9b9142b3c5d0222bb5da49e6ae75cd2a.jpg npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I worry about the hubris of treating it as an inevitability. Rather than something that needs to be worked and advocated for. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Some of these guys have bigtime tunnel vision. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl They were also smug and presumptive in a way that many people found off-putting. People can't motivated to take time out of their week to configure their node on weak reasoning like this. Even if they agree with the proposal in theory. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl No, it failed because your arguments sucked. Anti-spam proposals will be more successful in the future if this is realized. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I think you're taking this defeat way too hard. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Couldn't justify spending the money on it and it seems I never will. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Currently wondering how to explain self-custody to siblings and family, in a post Coldcard world, in a way that doesn't make it sound like dangerous witchcraft. 🫠 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Bitcoin influencers need to stop dropping so many F-bombs. Especially during a crisis. It doesn't add anything. It just spooks people. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Humility is warranted. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Its not your fault. You aren't responsible. Coinkite is. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Feels different to be in the receiving camp. I feel bad for everybody. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl https://blossom.primal.net/125f14b58e244c0b9a50f7cbf5b08ecd38786824fec37b290e44c8a07259bf9a.jpg npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Same. Received emails to all three of the addresses I gave them. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl This is so sad to see. I've loved these guys' show. I'm very grateful I got to catch the last few years of it. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Oh no. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl This post was sponsored by @nprofile…3lp8. He paid me 20 Bitcoin to post this. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl So many elaborately decorated soap bars for sale out there and they're all just coconut oil. They lather like crap and they're expensive. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Literally was me as a kid. 😄 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl They're complying with local regulations. This idget should be asking his government. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I've had to re-follow you because I was pissed at you, but then I got over myself. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It's amazing how stupid they think we are. "Actually, you don't see your energy and water bill going up from that shiny new data center you didn't consent to. It was a Chinese plot this whole time!" npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I don't buy the story that anti data center sentiment is all the results of Chinese plots. It stinks of backpedaling and marketing by US tech companies after all the braggadocio about how AI is so amazing its going to take your job, impoverish you and become Skynet. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I've already unfollowed those types. Except for a few artists. The never-ending reposters are a menace. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Pictured: Me and my little brother walking home from off-road unicycle practice. These pictures were taken by another younger brother of mine. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I should temper my outburst by clarifying that it applies primarily to memes, broetry, and run-of-the-mill shitposting. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl If you're expecting to make significant money on social media just by posting, you're likely either a shill, a sellout, or an e-girl. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl You’ve probably heard the phrases “my two cents” or “a penny for your thoughts. " npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Nostr needs 1000x the users, not the current users zapping everything 2100 sats. Most memes aren't worth that to individual people. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Why can't social media just be chill? Why do you have to make money off of it? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Either fake story entirely or failure resulting from corruption or incompetence. Just blame the summer weather to dodge accountability. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Rationalizing poverty and desindustrialization as progressivism. The future of Europe under the EU is South Africa. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Okay but you're the one who is wrong about coffee. #cancelcorn npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Somehow less expensive than a single spoonful of guacamole. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Best hotel window view I've had for a while. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl This new productivity resource. It's called people. They're dynamic, cost effective and, get this: sustainable. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I tend to like the red-letter media guys, too. They can be very funny. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl The percentage of roadside billboards that are for auto collision and injury law firms is comical. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I remember watching that Wonder Woman movie and seeing World War I Germans depicted as though they were Nazis. It made me feel gross. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl The amount of slander the the German people endure even to this day is a total injustice. Not limited to the blanket association of German people with Nazis or the complete ignorance of the factors that led to that regime in the first place. Being so pervasive that stupid Hollywood directors get World War I and II confused. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl The previous regime was really bad though. You can't expect Venezuelans to miss a hyperinflationary dictatorship. This is what has made the country vulnerable to US imperialism in the first place. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Normies are just happy that they can hold a conversation. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I'll add that the Epstein's psyop is pretty strong. "Epstein invented Bitcoin" is just treated credulously and thoughtlessly, though no one can explain where this came from. It's very annoying. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl GM 😌 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl You ordered the guacamole didn't you. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl If ever there was one. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It's just funny to see it pop up over and over again. Once you start to notice, you never stop. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl The 33 number showing up repeatedly as a secret handshake for psyops is just hilarious to me. 😄 don't know why but I can't get over it. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I steal all of your memes to post in the element server I'm in and I don't give you credit. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl unimaginable airline luxury 😮 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Huh. Pretty punk. Are those stacks supposed to be cooling towers? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It was a good article. I've passed it around. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Beautiful npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Is it good? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I save all your phone backgrounds. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Those are some tame deer. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Served on a rectangular plate. Garnished with indifference. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It's true. I am retarded. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I see far too many giant trucks and SUVs on the road to believe that Americans truly care about fuel prices. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I've heard it has connectivity problems. And the Avalon software is buggy. Is this true in your experience? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl In b4 1 quadrillion. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl UK and EU are nuts. Arresting and taxing their way to prosperity is certainly one option... npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Looking at you Todoist. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl The amount of companies that price their apps at $100/year when they're worth like $10 at most is nuts. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Finally got the chance to try out my Brialetti. Unsurprisingly, it makes good coffee. It's not espresso quality but it is consistent and flavorful. 👍 ☕ npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl The fist bump is fine, but it is not a substitute for a handshake. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Seems legit. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Georgeous. 😮 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl That is both ghoulish and funny. Still glad I didn't join up. Not that I was in any real danger of that. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Okay..... npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl No love lost. They can stick to their own economically depressed dystopias and I'll stick to mine. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It's come a crazy long way. I still miss that Golden Age. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I bookmarked this. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I would suggest specializing in one type of news. My impression is FLASH reads like a mixed/general social media feed. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl They don't do anything tho npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Privacy.com saved me again. I created a Brilliant account to see what all the ad reads were about and used a Privacy virtual debit card to access the premium mode under a free trial. Eventually, I decided to close my account within the free trial window and disabled my Privacy card. Later, I found out they tried to charge me $129.50 anyway after I cancelled and closed my Brilliant account, but Privacy didn’t let the transaction go through. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl GM. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Wow nice! npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Very interesting to see if anything useful comes from any of this. Or if the ability to sling more code even faster just results in more broken, unfinished, abandoned apps. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I am interested in this as well. I've literally watched the audible app peak and degrade since 2017. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl https://blossom.primal.net/db500ac1e4c63ade789cc9fd87f49e3906029bc3a3fbd1b0b186a8689c32c87d.jpg npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl https://blossom.primal.net/1fc79ce25896ceb8eb4a29ef7e8d2b4efa572e80c68e26ee3b879580bc774e7b.jpg npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl In the nostr/bitcoin community I feel like I'm always watchibg the latest dev breakthrough get downgraded from "we've obsoleted humans" --->"this changes everything" --->"this is another tool in the developer toolbox" npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 5: Misc photography npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 4: Big Brutus npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 3: Cars on the Route npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 2: Grand Falls npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Had quite the day trip in Missouri and Kansas last Friday. Got to see the Carver National Monument, Grand Falls, Cars on the Route, the Galena museum (briefly. I'll have to return), and Big Brutus. If you're in the Joplin, Missouri area, it makes for a great day trip. You can easily hit four or five places in a single day, easy.
