@Bitman - bonded over a common love for Japan. And he used to share this philosophical fable about the Sun, which has stayed with me till now. If you are reading this, mate, I hope your health is better now.
@Satosora - He worked in Taiwan before as a teacher, so it was fun swapping insights on education with him. Our children are of similar ages, so that’s another area we bonded over.
@handsome_latino - literally changed my view of parenting by sharing his superhero fatherhood tales. Reminds me to take challenges in my stride.
Who do you miss?
A few days ago I was going to say @jasonb but he's back and evolved into a clickbaiter now lol
FREE MINING MACHINES
Sounds like a worthy project! Welcome back!
Thanks!
The Universe has answered your heartfelt wish lol
Yo @jasonb! 🤘
My first question following cryogenic thawing: Is the experiment still ongoing?
Indeed, you're currently set to win, as long as nobody else comments within the next 24 hours!
@supertestnet.
Rumor is he left SN over cowboy credits, yet can be found on Nostr, a kakistocracy of ECash dilettantes and grift...
Lord see us through this darkness.
Must be a bit weird seeing his presence on Nostr when he has all but disappeared from here
Hahahah this is a good one! Hurt my heart to see super leave in the manner he did
Definitely @Satosora's on my list. He was one of quick response stackers and it always felt like a nice casual chat.
I know they're not exactly completely gone, but I miss the glory days of @elvismercury and @Natalia.
@Natalia's posts were excellent
More than that, she was a really fun presence
@elvismercury led me to have a paradigm shift when he shared that adjectives can sometimes be considered weak writing. Since then, I have tried to use powerful nouns to convey my ideas
@Natalia’s tales in Turkey are always fun to read!
I miss @DarthCoin he’s still here he just ignores me now 😭 thought he would be really proud of me for being part of a full government shutdown 😭
you don't have to say your name, although give some hint narrower than "538"
Never mind. Sensei is proud of you.
How’s the fire fighting?
@nemo, @mallardshead, @Satosora, @Natalia are a few that come to mind. I don't count @davidw and @elvismercury as missing yet.
I used to miss @nemo but now that he has been gone for so long, I have kinda forgotten the vibes he evoked in me. I only remember his habit of deleting his comments.
Speaking of which, I hope to see @carlosfandango more often!
Deleting comments is no different to a conversation in real life….
Whispers on the breeze, Carried by restless wind, And leaving no trace.
And @nemo is around every once in a while.
I should tag you randomly more often to jog your muse and get more personalised haikus
Supertestnet and the Mutiny guys. I think they'll be back sooner or later.
@benthecarman is lurking, you just need to say or ask the right things to get a reply from him haha
👀
I have never interacted with supertestnet before. Seems that he impacted many Stackers here
My heart longs for @Bell_curve and the massive amounts of links that @Rsync25 used to post
@Bell_curve comes on n off. I’m sure he will grace us with a Wikipedia-like comment on some random thread sooner or later haha
I wasn't around for the prime days of @handsome_latino, but I really enjoyed what I did get to read from him, and all the cool tools he made to track bitcoin stats.
It’s amazing how multifaceted people are - and how different people are attracted to different facets of our personality
Where is @Shugard, I loved hearing his classroom tales
also cocktail recipes!
He was super consistent wrt that!
I’m sure he will come back when his baby grows up
He orange pilled a couple of them, didn’t him?
Now that you mention it, I recall the conversations the three of us occasionally had about teaching. Always an energy booster
@frostdragon a great the puzzle solver and founder of ~FiresidePhilosophy
I admire how he put sats behind his conviction and paid one year’s worth of ownership for his then-territory
I miss who are here! 🤠
Gotta cherish what we have right now
bullseye!
@orthwyrm
A marvel of consistency (for the snail) and frequent intelligent comments (on economics)
And I hope he is still exercising… and ‘getting as big as a barn door’
I remember the banter you guys always exchanged whenever the Saloon was opened!
Great fun seeing who could post first.
‘Where snail?’ lol
Also where's @birdeye21
I miss how he can ask thought-provoking questions out of seemingly everyday stuff
I miss @mallardshead
Never interacted with him before. Looking at his comments, he seems to be someone with encyclopaedic knowledge
Was assuming SN was still growing. This post gave me pause.
SN is, by almost any metric charted, not growing it appears:

But comments (green) remains strong. Fascinating.
thank you for not closing the circlejerk!
spirals might actually go places.
@jtwoodhouse - I really enjoyed reading his thoughts.
