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!
Saddling up for another day down the rabbit hole! Listening to Pysch on the dish on his pod today!
Do any other postgres people recognize this legend?
I've learned so much from him.
.... and that's it guys!
This is the 200th comment on today's Saloon!
I was waiting for it.
We have a new record for the Saloon!
And I break it.

The saloon is fucking lovely wild west saloon.
sorry. Sat tap spilled!!
@k00b petition to add ‘sats spilled’ counter to the post preview instead of nothing or the regular post ‘sat’ counter (since we cant zap the saloon post itself), just tracks sats spent in the saloon comments (14.3k rn), shows it off to whoever is reading the home page
I dig it. Need a better term that sats spilled though.
could just say spent. Spilled just let’s you know how rowdy the saloon got that day!

Does anyone else read Twitter/Nostr and imagine negative vague tweets may be about them/their work?
I find it a fun random seed for self-reflection. "If this were about me, what would it mean?"
e.g. Replit's CEO tweeted something to the effect of "Companies sink deeper into sunk costs by default" and I began considering what SN's sunk costs are.
I think it’s fair, everyone does it to some extent. I try to make sure only to do that if I am only willing to say that to their face and that seems to help me gauge on whether I should say it or not.
I do the same, but with anything I read online lol
That's normal, I guess... there's no way to expand your practical knowledge without comparing your activities to the others. The hardest part is just separate lessons from pure negativity. That's tricky because, while comparable (companies, in case), situations will differ on all levels.
it's good practice to self reflect
I just think that SN Saloon is going wild.
Is all that matter right now.
Your comments often make me do that lol
lol fwiw none of the critical/whiny ones have been.
Lol I didn’t actually think they were, but that’s where my mind goes anyway
It's really fun right?! I'm probably just crazy, but I find it a super useful delusion.
I’m not sure if I’d use “fun” to describe it, but I definitely find it useful haha
lol true I've just tricked myself into thinking it's fun
OMG is just september and the saloon is getting crazy.
When I will be fully back from "building", hold your horses guys because I will come hard on posting.
This is nothing what are you seeing now...
The force is too STRONG, and Darth can't resist I sensed.

ᕦ(ò_óˇ)Day 5 of exercising everyday before the saloon openshttps://imgprxy.stacker.news/tghN45w_u5-QvDsGT-bRzKOZb5bYteaVLvOu2FcvbBU/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLnBvc3RpbWcuY2MvM1IzTnZkN2cvc2lnbmFsLTIwMjMtMDktMjAtMTIzMjA0LmpwZw
Oh, oh, I got late with posting this. Got too distracted with notifications and the Pay It Forward Initiative and then some more notifications.
I went for a run today. It took me 31:37 to run roughly 5km.
In German, we actually call it "joggen" not "rennen". I looked up if there is a better translation than "run" (since you don't really run if you try to "run" a long distance or for a long period of time). There is also "to jog" in English. But it feels like this is not used much? Is this more like a trap where you can notice if people use "to jog" that English is not their mother tongue?
Anyway. When I run, I don't try to run for a specific period of time. I try to run a specific route (with a specific distance) with checkpoints in mind.
I do this because I think it makes it easier to "not cheat" by just running very slowly. Anyone can "run" 30min+ if you just walk. Running a specific distance is therefore imo a good benchmark. This way, you can also make a competition out of this by measuring your time.
This always brings me to this question: What is the fastest way to travel a specific distance, therefore optimizing for least time? And what is the most efficient way to travel a specific distance; optimizing for least energy expended?
For example, if we keep the distance fixed, we can expend energy to travel the same distance in less time.
But when we start to target long enough distances (for example, 10km), it becomes obvious that we can't expend maximum energy all the time since we will get too exhausted. And then we will probably be a lot slower since we still have to travel a long distance even after all our energy is already depleted.
So what is the optimal speed for least energy expenditure? And at which point do you start to run as fast as you can to achieve your fastest time?
That's my watch... simple and effective. They say that it's also the al-qaeda's favorite. Could be because it's cheap? Precise? Both? dunno
I used to have one too
but then it blew up? haha
Battery ran out.
ah, oh. just thought about the battery too here
deleted by author
A true bitcoiner watch. I think I bought it 5+ years ago for 10€.
But that was before my bitcoin time
I also heard that Al-Qaida part, haha
One reason why I posted a picture of the watch: to see if anyone knows this story
just noticed i never changed the battery of that watch. not sure how long such batteries usually last, but is this the nokia of wrist watches?
now we're ALL-qaeda hohoho ta-da!

Well done. Re running - it’s a fascinating topic. I am a lapsed ultramarathoner and can talk for days about this stuff.
I can recommend the book ‘Born to Run’ by Chris McDougall.
@kr I heard you run marathons. Any thoughts on this?
Is it just a feeling you get at some point? Like you just know "this is my optimal speed"?
Do you try to optimize for speed in marathons? Or just that you could run as long as possible?
well i haven’t run a full marathon yet (i used to run track/xc in college), but typically the strategy used in all distance races is to be as close as possible to an “even split” for a fast time.
in other words, if you’re trying to run a 5km in 30 mins, the ideal scenario would be a constant 6 min/km pace with minimal variations (even though the first couple km will feel relatively easy).
Oh, interesting, I never heard of splits in the context of running before. But I used to check my time after I passed specific checkpoints to see if I was still "in time" or slower / faster than usually.
Guess I already did something similar, but just didn't think that I should try to keep the same pace. Hilly terrain would make this harder, but where I am now, my routes are quite flat.
But this means trying to give it all at the end is not a thing to squeeze out the last few seconds out of the time?
edit: Oh, I see. That's roughly what negative splits are about, haha
in a perfect world, you’ll be so tired in your last km that pushing to “squeeze out the last few seconds” will actually just maintain your pace.
if you find yourself running your last km way faster than all your others, it’s a sign you probably could have run a better time with a slightly faster pace from the start.
I've been running 5k's pretty consistently, and posting my runs on nostr (#runstr). My last time was 26:28. Ran a half marathon a few years ago, like @kr said, aiming for good splits is the way.

No reason to be bullish unless something bullish happens? And 90% of the threads on SN are not about adoption they are meme threads. Its 2023 and bitcoin cannot survive on memes anymore. Adoption is needed. But its not going to happen? So take care

Opti from Simply Bitcoin podcast
IMO next influx of capital will come from ETFs (unlocking capital from institutions and retirement funds). Retail is too poor right now. So I agree short-term is crabby / bearish.
The funniest outcome would be if the halving does absolutely nothing for the price. I can sort of believe this because a) supply cut weakens with each cycle, b) priced in, c) mEth tried cutting net-issuance to near-zero and it's done nothing for them. I think it would be healthier for Bitcoin if we stopped getting these crazy cycles.
i think ppl are stupidly underestimating what the spot etf will do
have read all kinds of dumb "already priced in" comments
trillions are gonna pour in
BUT ITS ALL PAPER BTC F***
Imagine if BlackRock gets into degenerate trading and subsequently rugs everyone.
I'm not so convinced ETFs are nearly as bullish for price as everyone expects, but it's something.
Preach.

What yall's favorite drink??
Call me sacreligious but i wish the saloon served more WINE!
Sherbet, it is so delicious and healthy.
I like it too.
Also in the summer I used to make a refreshment from elderberries flower.
In mid-may and early June, I collect elderberry flowers and let them dry in sun for 2-3 days.
Then store them in paper bags.
Once in a while, almost every week, I do this recipe:
Drink this refreshment all summer and you will see that:

marked, every time when I see someone drinking Coke or all those sugar drinks, I am like, what are these people doing? there are so many better drinks to choose from.
let them drink that poison... more sats for you 😂😂😂 (because they will die earlier than you)
correct, did you try mixing honey with Apple Cider Vinegar and water, it is super healthy too. ( I found this recipe in an old book.)

I drink also wine and other strong drinks (occasionally), but I always prefer Leffe beer.
You can find it soon in the Stackers General Store

I used to watch Benny Hill when I was a young kid -- it was on public television late at night for some reason, much British stuff was. Last year I re-watched a couple of episodes w/ my wife. I was cackling, she was ... not amused. Doesn't age well I guess.
My father was convinced that Benny Hill was a genius. I never got the humor, but I enjoyed the breasts.
I still dont get it unless it was just titillation. I preferred the Monty Python sketch ‘this man has chosen the manner of his own death’ from Meaning of Life lol
After you guys were talking about Alec Guinness the other day I watched a good chunk of Our Man In Havana. I got the feel for his comedy persona.
Excellent. I think ‘all encompassing’ is a good description. Such a gentle man. A really should read his biography.
He was always revered as an actor in the U.S. My only exposure was Bridge On The River Kwai. My father loved that movie.
