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!
What a day.
I’ve primed and painted 150 cedar boards for our addition (15 today)
Ran two 1.5 mile intervals @ 5:28 mile pace.
And coached my boys to an undefeated soccer season tonight!
Seems like the Knots/Core debate has turned misogynistic and racist.
I should really stop using Twitter...
Saw several personal attacks in a row on Gloria Zhao's gender and race, as if somehow that disqualifies her from contributing to Core.
You'd think that if there was one realm where who you are is unimportant, it would be bitcoin.
Did you see that a PR to undeprecate datacarriersize was merged? (#1243966)
Perhaps now people the yelling will calm down.
It is unimportant in Bitcoin. There will always be racists and even if the racists were a majority then it would still be unimportant.
The most important thing is to not be triggered if it happens to you, which is hard when it happens at scale, and has burned out many a developer, over much less than the toxicity we see in Bitcoin discourse. The sacrifices that some are making are admirable no matter whether you like or dislike the person making the sacrifice.
Don't think the yelling will calm down. This non-eventic feud has become some people's raison d'être.
Most of my success in parenting has come from realizing that my kids will forget what they were angry about shockingly fast. This may sound very paternal, but in many cases where they are worked up about something I know to be inconsequential, my goal becomes brief diversion so that they will move on...and it usually works.
Of course, most people on X are not children, but I still have great faith in the ephemeral nature of human emotions. Give them a month or two and they'll be worked up about something else.
One can hope.
Bitcoin has seen it's share of rage quitters.
Good thing it doesn't matter too much. One leaves, another pops up.

BREAKING NEWS: NEWS WILL BREAK SOON
vomit
If you're trying to figure out what to create, often times the best advice is to create "something you want." However, it's easy to fool yourself into believing that you want anything you yourself have created. So you actually want to create "something you want so badly that you'd buy it even if someone else created a poor version."
This dispels most manipulations. Namely:
How about you unapologetically become the most epic version of yourself?
Not because your ego wants it, but because the world needs it.
Here is another reminder of our fortnightly appointment, to brainstorm ideas and bring projects forward. Similar to the Stacker Saloon, it will stay pinned in the ~Design territory hot section for two weeks, recursively, giving us time to discuss and provide feedback.
Whatever you are thinking about... A new app? Book? Review your apartment furniture setup following feng shui? Upgrading your 4x4 suspensions? 3D print something for your miner? Redesign your garden yard? What else?
Share it in the pinned post What creative ideas have you been rambling on?
₿e Creative, have Fun!
:D

Not a great day at Steak & Shake. None of the workers recalled anyone paying with bitcoin. On the other hand, one of them said they wouldn't really know how people pay at a self serve kiosk. There are no human order takers. Also, one employee was very interested in learning about bitcoin, so we had a good, long conversation about money, inflation, the US dollar, and a low key orange pill session.
Perhaps the most disappointing thing was that my qr code code got cut in half.
That meant I was
Ineligible to win a labubu
There is no justice.
labubu hahahaha
did you saw the South Park episode about labubu ?
No. I know nothing about them.
enjoy

It be really cool if we could pressure Steak and Shake into releasing some numbers about bitcoin transactions...or maybe it would just be depressing.
And it turns out they posted this today:
But it's not exactly clear evidence.
view on x.comYou can still win a labubu, just go back to the store and demand a new receipt.
the important thing from this story is that an employee is interested into bitcoin and not labubu :)
I would if I wanted a labubu
you're telling me you don't want a chance at this?
I'm on my way back to get that qr code.
Seems like you found a way to get a worker canned! Ahahah
I thought of that. Turns out he's the manager, and he has worked there for years. I couldn't believe it. He looked like a kid. Then again, everyone looks like a kid when you're my age.
That's sick. I want one.
Haha what about the monitor
Can't see the interior from this photo, but maybe it's modded inside as well! ahah
how are things on the west coast?
Fine from here. When you don't tie your life to the political system by where you live you can much weather the storms of the crazy people.
I'm assuming something is going on I don't know about. Found out the government was gonna be shut down from my dad last night. I can't handle all this good news lol.
i was just curious, weather in texas is getting colder, we hit 66 last night feel like its going to be cold winter in texas this year
lol, Yeah we have been in the 60s at night and highs are now in the 80s. Nice weather. I love fall.
Every time I feel bad about living in Los Angeles all I have to do is step outside during the day. Especially in the Winter/Fall/Spring, and Summer too when it's not too hot!
No kidding. I have stupid fog in the winter and baking heat in the summer but this was a mild summer. I don't think we hit 110 once. Always a good summer when we stay below that stupid number.
Man, it's a cool 73 out where I am right now. Just beautiful weather.
ya we had a mild summer i think we hit 100 maybe once, does it get foggy out there? i guess the winds huh? whats that like?
In the San Joaquin valley we get what's called Tule fog. Sometimes it doesn't get burned off by the sun and we are socked in all day. In places the visibility can be as low as a few feet. Its more of an issue in rural areas as it has a lot to do with moisture in the soil. They have to cancel school for it a few days each year. Just too dangerous to drive school buses in it.

Ideas so good they have to be mandatory.
off to the gulag with you
Indeed.
I feel like this should be my new response to any of my Christian friends that are afraid of Christian Nationalism. Bro... you both want to use force to make the world in your idea of God's image.
Your's is just one where you steal from one to give to another and you have different rules. You both feel righteous and like the other is ridiculous. Your problem is your politics. You just disagree. Stop trying to pretend you are better than them.
Linux is waiting... once you've had enough.
I still have a PC that I keep it with a Win7, apart from others with Linux (Mint and Debian).
This reply is from that Win7 PC.
Works, but is a pain to keep it alive and well. Especially with browsers that you cannot update them anymore. Many apps you have to keep them old and clunky, but if you do not not anything important are manageable.
I keep it just for fun with this old Win7.
I TOTALLY REFUSE TO USE ANY WIN10 OR WORSE 11... NEVER.
Linux Mint is just fine for regular use and crap. People should move NOW at least to Linux Mint. MS Win is a total nightmare. And this is coming from an old IT Sys admin working almost 20 years in this domain of MS Win servers and desktops.
Get rid of Windows NOW!
Indeed. Helped a young couple move to Mint maybe a year ago and they love it. The vast majority of people do not need Windows at all. Mint works better on old hardware than any version of Windows and its not spying on you or as vulnerable to viruses.
We nerds and advanced users over-estimate how much of the operating system most people even use. I think its actually easier for causal users to switch in many ways.
Yeah and Linux is so much easier than all that Microsoft crap.
one can keep describing the prison cell ad nauseum, with all of its announcements, inefficiencies, poor outcomes, etc. etc. etc. 1000's of video-podcasts can be created with a few clicks in order to describe how bad things are and how much worse things will or might get;
on the other hand, creating real-wold change and stepping out of the matrix is the hard part;
create a small incremental positive change in ur life today!

Happiness Journal 29/9/25
The bane of an English teacher’s life is teaching writing. To combat that feeling of helplessness, I wrote an essay tailored to my 11-year-olds’ needs. This means punchy sentences and simple words because my English teacher used to say, “Keep It Simple, Stupid” and I should listen to his advice.
My stroke of genius was getting five students who are relatively better readers to read each stage of my Story Mountain. Kudos to them for reading loudly and expressively. Hence, even if my students weren’t paying full attention, they were still aurally bombarded by the important bits. Just the way I had planned it!
It’s examination season, but ironically, I was in a conducive headspace to ask the five of them to take a photograph with me after their ‘performance’. First photo I have ever initiated with this class.
