Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.

Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!

We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

At last Alby 1.19 is out.
Which means the Execute Node command bug is fixed (so could not fire off restore).
My cashu sats are now unstuck.

I have been silently a non-zapping moocher for about 1-2weeks.

Bless the "zaps failed" notifications, I can now go back and make it all right.

Retroactive zap spree commencing

The points system set up by his teacher is an ____ for him to work hard at his studies

  1. prize
  2. treat
  3. reward
  4. incentive

Crafted this question for my fifth graders. What do you think is the answer?

reply

1-3 are retrospective (for his having worked hard in the past)
4 is forward-looking, matching the sentence (for him to work hard in the future),

reply

Thanks! You make me motivated to continue to come up with questions!

Sometimes I read the notes in my own journal and I’m like:

  • Who writes these?
  • Whoa.
  • Am I listening to too much David Goggins?

Case in point:
May 7, 2025:
Remember: on the path of the Warrior, there will be no comfort, no certainty, no glory. You will suffer like Jesus did, but without the followers, without the Divine guidance, without your name ever being written in any history book. Perform without a cause; sacrifice without redemption. Taking that path and taking those risks though - it’s the only way to truly live, to truly evolve and individuate. Perhaps there is something there along the journey, but you cannot expect that. You must accept suffering for the sake of suffering.

I wrote a 3 page email to a colleague about the awful shit they're repeating online (about a project we're both maintainers for)

I didn't like my tone so I deleted it all, rewrote and then it was a 2 page email.

Then it hit me: wtf am I doing?

So I deleted the entire thing and didn't send any email.

At least I got to train my pianofingers.

Each of these stories describes a near-future character in a highly advanced technological world. Their trusted relationship to the tech is unquestioned and right and good, yet somehow unsettled/unsatisfied.

"Plan your actions from beginning to end".

A brilliant ending is the corollary that emphasizes all your actions.
Plan your path, taking into account all possible consequences, all obstacles, and all twists of fate that could negatively impact your hard work and bring glory to others.
Planning your entire process from beginning to end will prevent you from being overwhelmed by negative factors and allow you to know exactly when to stop.
Manage your fortune carefully and determine the long-term future.
