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!
Wassup , long time lurker first time stacker. Been listening to stacker news live pod for years. I orange pilled my local bodega and now I buy beer and smokes with Bitcoin. I also sell my eggs to them and earn my Bitcoin back. Howdy!
You're a legend—you pulled off a fantastic deal, hahaha. I wish some of the people who provide services to me could be persuaded like that, too; it doesn't help that they're older folks.
older folks might make it more challenging. it took years of work to finally get the bodega to start accepting my Bitcoin.
Howdy, yourself. I saw @Reed poking around the other day, too.
yeah, we recognize stacker news as a strong community and we want to start participating in it.
How many sats you get for one dozen eggs?
they buy eggs from me for $4-5/dozen so whatever the price is at the time is how much sats I get.
Would really love some fall weather. Almost 100F again today in Austin.
Drill baby Drill.

No Rewards for last day!! 😞
Sad little rewards just dropped
🤣 Have to say engagement on SN lives and does with the rewards.
I repeat: If Zaps are life of SN, rewards are its energy (food).
Whatever it is, its Bitcoin!
My referral rewards were 4 sats.
😲 how?
I'm jealous.
Wouldn’t you like to know?
Yeah sure if you want. I love learning tips n' tricks.

Continuing my grading adventures
Lotsa students outright saying they're socialists, outright saying blackpilled / conspiratorial ideas, outright saying they don't care about this class or college.
Way higher numbers of this than any previous semester I've taught.
Damn... is that in the USA?
But seriously... here in Brazil, ever since I arrived, every time I meet someone and I tell them I'm Cuban, and they say they love Lula or are leftists, I spend my time trying to get those socialist ideas out of their heads... sometimes I've even missed the bus... but I don't really know what's going on, so much leftist propaganda.
The worst part is that none of those leftist students have gone through what we had to go through under a communist regime.
You want Cuba to be a vassal state to the Zionists puppet petrodollar empire?
Slave.
No, I want Cuba to be free and sovereign, and not dependent on anyone.
I want to talk to my parents by video call and not see them getting thinner and thinner, with dark circles under their eyes from hunger and power outages lasting more than 30 or 40 hours.
I don't want to have had to emigrate and leave my country to try to give my children a better life.
Sounds like you want to submit to US hegemony.
Cuba has already been:
And it hasn't resolved anything with any of them... because a country's solution can't come from a third party
Yes a history of subjugation to the current empire.
The current empire it must submit to now is the USA and you want them to.
Ipso facto-
You advocate submission to bullying and imperialism.
Some Cubans might quite rightly want to continue the fight for the right to self determination, but you do not support them in that.
That makes you an apologist for and complicit with US imperialism.
You are not a sovereign individual but an imperialist cuck.
Using your logic you could argue child abuse, genocide, assassination, kidnapping and torture are ok too.
Yes, US. I think the dominant point of view among young people is that the system is broken. I don't really blame them for feeling that way. The system is indeed FUBAR. But because they are not educated properly, they reach for solutions that will likely make things worse.
They reach for solutions that are not fundamentally different from the problem
People are tired of US imperialist hypocrisy and its support for Zionist war crimes.
Trump is sending 40,000 one tonne bombs to Israel.
Murderous fucking cunts.
I'm shocked how many students really think the government has the ability to make things better, and that the chief problem is corporate power. I probably need to build a repertoire of well-identified (and easy to narrate) papers showing how government policies lead to poor outcomes, and then teach those papers more.
It's not just students. I forgive students because it's part of the journey to be wrong... and to find out that you are. And then, when you're a bit older, you'd be wiser. Because you learned that you're wrong, right?
WRONG! Almost everyone I know outside of my Bitcoin frens is like this. And it really bothers me, because at times it becomes impossible to have a normal discussion with almost anyone outside of our little edge scene. It's always that gov-must-do-this, gov-must-do-that. To the tune of an alarm clock almost. How screwed are we if in 2026, all everyone can think of is an appeal to the authorities to effect change?
gov has become so powerful of a force in society that everyone just defaults to praying to it as if it were God
It's happened to me a lot with people at the church I go to... and it's surprised me when we talk in the men's meetings... all their hope is that the government will do X thing or that they'll remove Lula from power in the elections
But they'll only hope for the removal of Lula so that another person can come in for whom it is more realistic to hope that they do X thing.
I don’t blame dumb kids for believing dumb things
Who do you blame?
Ignorant arrogant US exceptionalist morons who know nothing of the crimes committed by USA against other nations.
There's a lot to go around.
Our peers in econ, certainly deserve a share for doing such an insufficient job.
Cynical political grifters are probably the chief culprits though.
the lie of equality and equity that the left tries to convey along with its "social justice"
Inequality is increased by neoliberalism and the crony capitalism that now rules USA and most of the west.
People are tired of the war crimes and imperialism of USA and its support of Israeli genocide.
Daily ~Designer Quote #0026
Got totally mogged by fit women in yoga class again this morning. Does my body even make testosterone?
I don't know what your life is like, but for example, my life since I arrived here in Brazil has been quite sedentary. I spend many hours sitting in front of a computer, and although I go for a run sometimes, I'm not in the same shape I was in Cuba. I've felt it several times when I go out to play with my son in the park; my body isn't the same. I feel that even though I eat a really good diet, it's not the same as hard work, going out to sweat, real work, combat sports, and being out in nature. That's what really raises your testosterone, keeping your body active.
Excessive junk food consumption is linked to insulin resistance and high estrogen levels, which can increase the risk of PCOS and affect fertility in both men and women.
What does it even mean to get mogged?
they made me look bad
I always thought of it as something to do with square chins. That's why I was confused how a lady could mog you.
if they don't like you, is their problem not yours
Mow or Back going to bankroll it possibly? I assume blockstream doesn't have that kind of money lying around, but I haven't looked.
No idea, just interested in seeing how it resolves.

hoping to have things lined up for drop 365 so that i can carry the torch forwards to 1000 and beyond.
@k00b @sox, any chance we can have some kind of filter in the notifications page? Like by notification type and date? Thanks
A year ago, I tried to implement filters but completely failed the design. I think that they would be nice to have. Here’s the issue: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/1035
That's exactly what I mean. A simple dropdown would help.
Can you explain your use case more?
I don't log in often, and when I do the notification list is extensive, need to click on "more" to keep scrolling. I probably miss mentions and other relevant notifications. A filter by type (mentions/zaps/new post/new comment/etc.) would help.
I turned off zap notifications, which reduced the volume quite a bit.
Did exactly the same.
Do you see the man just living his life?
Does the man speak Frisian tho? (or Ostfrieslandisch)
I don’t know, I just say Hoi! and then they say Hoi, and that’s usually enough
Knew it. I recognize the color of that grass any day haha.
Ha, I thought it was the horizonvervuiling that made it obvious:
Once you start noticing the wind turbines everywhere, you can’t unsee them haha. IIUC, they came up with horizonvervuiling specifically for the issue of visual pollution from wind turbines on the horizon, especially at sea, haha.
Those are MUCH worse across the eastern border, and then again worse at the south-eastern border of that.
Is it a camper truck?
Although it looks more like a cargo truck.
A closer look:
with some curious cows:
I think you saw the gate
Well, it seems so, huh?
lol I don’t know, I’ll have to check when I’m back. You guys see stuff I didn’t see myself haha
hahahaha
I see two, one cycling, on sitting on a bench looking at the far horizont.
Oh, I didn’t see the cyclist haha
The sitting man is painting!
How delightful. I’d love to live in a place like that somewhere close to the city, or perhaps a large town that looks like Hobbits.
Another impression:
It is a beautiful plain. Do you have rivers and waterfalls nearby?
first thing I thought of too... weird (sad?) how windows desktop is more seared into my memory than natural landscapes
many years watching it
Haven't seen crap that since last century.
Linux gives peace of mind.
Windows is corporate state surveillance.
It's nice to cycle around here and mess with the sheep, but don't ever miss the bus or forget to call it if you want to visit civilisation
It looks similar to where I am currently raising a handful of calves Fresian-Hereford cross heifers.
Though where you are looks more managed and perhaps further from mountains?
I am halfway between the Pacific coast and the Southern Alps.
Here winter has ended and spring has begun.

I was scrolling the other day and happened upon a clip from Joe Rogan with a guy chatting that piqued my interest....
Turns out he is Zak Bush MD, filmed couple months back, he said something like:
Similar to what Marcus Aurelius says.... What a pleasure it is to wake up and be able to breathe and love etc
So I carried on listening and Rogan says, there's never been a time when there was total peace in the world, to which Bush says, there was one period during King Solomon
So Rogan pushes back, saying there's no way Solomon could have vision of what was happening all around the world
Then Bush says, there was.... Pyramids, they were an ancient form of communication
I was like, time to get the waders on, bro's going deep 🤣🤣
this, indeed. I was watching some videos from Gaza, I saw how happy some kids were when they got food, simple happiness.
idk did you watch a video asking what kids want? One side is kids from the US: money, fame, etc.; another side is kids from Gaza or somewhere (I forget where exactly) all they want is a stable home and to be around family.
What's something that makes you happy in this current messy world?
purchasing beautiful things from farmers market vendors
yesterday got a bar of goats milk soap and a special beef cut I’ll enjoy for dinner tonight :)
...my daughter. I don't like cooking, but today for breakfast I tried making flower and heart shaped pancakes, because I simply want to be a better person for her.
The center has banana and some strawberry.
plants. especially weird looking ones.
what's the weirdest one you had ever see?
i have one of these madagascar palms, which I'm particularly fond of right now.
but I'm also partial to tobacco -- I used to grow an ornamental variety that had the most beautiful scent at night.
That in any moment everything is perfect and as it should be.... See my comment in a bit, just writing it now
This also brought this to mind
Hahaha
I loved it...it just needed to fold and have a door like this.
Hi! 👋🤠
Don't forget.
"keep it simple and stupid".
Exactly.

“Due to a severe manpower shortage, our student care centre will be closed today.” The notification hit me like a sledgehammer, sending me reeling.
Dejected, my heart sank like an anchor. An overwhelming wave of sadness washed over me. There went my free afternoon! Now I had to take care of my son. So distraught I was that tears almost welled up in my eyes. I forced them back, swallowing the lump in my throat.

Trump to send 40,000 x 1 tonne bombs to genocidal Zionist war criminals in Israel.

End times of the Zionist puppet petrodollar empire.
https://m.stacker.news/158262

Trump is a Zionist war criminals puppet.
Ukraine war was and is a challenge to the petrodollar empire post GFC when it became clear that China is now the dominant productive economy supporting the global economy. The IMF was forced to accept China onto the exclusive board of reserve currency issuers because the Yuan and China were the major pillar preventing collapse of the petrodollar empires global institutional framework and protocols.
China is still the only member of the board that is not both a monetary and military tribute state to the USA.
Iran war is the USA pushing back against Chinas growing challenge to the petrodollar. With the development of mBridge and CIP enabling Yuan denominated oil trade and that trade expanding to more and more gulf states who joined mBridge protocol.
How much fiat debt issuance has USA expended upon the Iran war?
Would the US petrodollar be able to even launch the Iran war if it operated on the Bitcoin Standard and was already $40 T in the red? No.
Iran war is last hurrah as the petrodollar empire is flogged like a dead horse by its Zionist puppet masters as they launch their Greater Israel land grab to build a regional hegemony resistant to Chinas emerging dominance.
Bitcoin fine as a refuge - a virtual tax haven and SoV hedge against the insolvency and collapse of the petrodollar...but it does not and cannot enable you to debase all citizens savings in a war and that is a fatal strategic disadvantage for any nation state where control of territory and trade routes is fundamental to both credibility and ultimately, survival.
