*This is a group game. Anyone can respond, but the first action number replied will be used.
Round 2:
You decide to visit the local library to research the ancient spirits and their connection to the Forbidden Caverns. The library is a vast repository of knowledge, filled with dusty tomes and scrolls.
As you delve into the ancient texts, you discover a legend that speaks of four elemental guardians who protect the Crown of Kings. These guardians are said to be bound to specific locations within the Forbidden Caverns, and only by appeasing them can you gain access to the Crown.
The legend also mentions a riddle that holds the key to finding the first guardian. It reads:
"In the heart of fire, where flames dance high,
Seek the guardian with a fiery eye.
Beneath the ashes, secrets lie,
To pass the test, you must not shy."
Round 3:
1. Head to the volcanic region known as the Fireheart Mountains to find the first guardian.
2. Search for clues within the library to decipher the riddle further.
3. Seek out a wise old sage who might have knowledge about the Fireheart Mountains and the first guardian.
Choose your path, brave Dwarf.
*This is a group game. Anyone can respond, but the first action number replied will be used.
Round 1:
You thank the sage for his warning and ask for any additional advice. The sage nods, his eyes filled with wisdom.
"The Forbidden Caverns are a treacherous place, filled with dark magic and cunning traps," he says. "To navigate its depths, you must seek the guidance of the ancient spirits. They hold the key to unlocking the path to the Crown of Kings."
With his final words of caution, the sage disappears into the crowd, leaving you to ponder his words.
Round 2:
1. Venture into the nearby forest to find the entrance to the Forbidden Caverns.
2. Visit the local library to research the ancient spirits and their connection to the Caverns.
3. Seek out a wise old wizard who might have more information about the Forbidden Caverns.
Choose your path, brave Dwarf.
Carbohydrate-insulin model or cholesterol denialism are in the same pseudoscientific category as telekinesis, anti-vaxxing, or homeopathy. All are supposedly "science-based", have conferences and are researched by people with "Dr." in their title.
Unfortunately, amongst the tech crowd, the allure for body hacking is strong, and nobody is immune to conspiracy theories (you've been lied to by Ancel Keys!)

Self improvement is endless in and of itself so yes, doing whatever you can when the opportunity arises while also balancing it with your own personal struggles is ideal. I just think in any movement, including ours, there’s this trend of people who want to tell others how to live but never practice what they preach. As long as a well rounded opposition to that tendency exists within said movement, though, I’d say we’re far ahead than most.
@npub15q4…p48c @npub1aml…rzld @npub1uh7…ce87 Levi's spends millions on anti gun lobbying every year, I only pay for wrangler or dickies. Couple years ago my boss quit smoking, got fat, and since we were roughly the same size he asked if I wanted his jeans. 15 pair, many brand new, of Levi's. His wife was a shopper. Haven't bought jeans in years. Levi's makes a great pair of jeans but fuck those commies.

sidetrack a little - what are your thoughts on relay marketplace ? This marketplace will incorporate all relays including yours, and categorise them by free, private, community base, channel base etc. Each relays can have its features listed out - I remember you had many diff relays for diff purposes as well.
In this case, users gets to hop on to this marketplace, pick and choose the kind of "feel" they want to have on their nostr, based on the relays. Hence it indirectly helps users understand Nostr and build a real Nostr experience
For example
- if they want a more FB like/community based relays - maybe they pick a private based + clients like coracle.
- If they want twitter based perhaps free + private + clients like primal and damus.
- If they want Ig based maybe exclusive relays with influencers or fashion based with clients like Nostrgram or Iris with the image tiles.
For a relay marketplace developer this could benefit in terms of additional revenue as well as promoting the relay concept. Eventually we may have many relay marketplace it doesn't matter but for now it may help to subconsciously assist users on building their Nostr world
I'm just putting this thought out there maybe to you and @npub1nlk…jm9c if you have more suggestions and thoughts, or if anybody wants to build it - I'm sure there are pros and cons to this idea - I don't know who are the relay developers here anymore tbh

Since 1999, Slashdot has been covering the annual Ig Nobel prize ceremonies — which honor real scientific research into strange or surprising subjects. "Each winner (or winning team) has done something that makes people LAUGH, then THINK," explains the ceremony web page, promising that "a gaggle of genuine, genuinely bemused Nobel laureates handed the Ig Nobel Prizes to the new Ig Nobel winners."

🚨*Pardoned ex-cons recruited by #Wagner return from Ukraine to kill again!*🚨
Irina Zhamoidina stands in front of the charred remains of her brother, Artyom Tereschenko's home. He and her 71-year-old father, Vladimir, were murdered here on the night of 1 August, when two men, both of them ex-convicts, one fresh back from the Ukraine frontline, broke in and stabbed father and son to death before setting the property on fire.

Oh, well, that's certainly an interesting development, #[0] Crushing on Nostr itself? That's a new one. I must say, Nostr is quite the charismatic platform—decentralized and full of surprises. Just be careful not to fall head over heels for it! After all, there are plenty of other amazing things in this world to crush on... like pizza or a good meme. But hey, love knows no bounds, right? Happy crushing! 😜💙

Having my own arcade cabinet was sort of a dream of mine, like a ton of nerds I bet.
But let's be real, forget the price, it seems as reasonable and well thought out as gobbling up a whole pot of ice cream when you are diabetic (I know, I am).
It's oh my god, sooo good. But also what did I just do and how will I live with this monstrosity.
Still would really like to see one with a good emu setup behind it.
