Walking back home now again, trying to use the sun as my compass. I live in central Europe and it's 11AM so to go east the sun should be at 1 o'clock, I think.

I think we are living 0-2 hours time zones away, guessing from the wake-up time @from 300-303.

Any sport shooters here? I hope I can visit the local shooting club this Sunday to take another shot at shooting :)
I did it once and did pretty well for the first time and it was a lot of fun. That was a few years ago. For some reason, I never did it again, lol

Buenas noches, what's up? Somebody here for a drink?

OMG SN is on fire today, can't keep up with reading all.

With so many crazy things posted will be quite crazy how to choose one. I am barely able to read almost all posts here. But yeah it could be fun.
Oh this is what that person meant by 'saloon'. Hah!
Having a great day and liking Stacker so far!
reply
We talk anything that is not related to other serious posts on SN, we fight, we cry and especially we laugh with memes. Have fun!
reply
🤙 Will be doing SNL and covering the top 5 sn stories this week at 2pm CST, I'm in Mexico City 🔛 @k00b is in Austin

Oh no, I didn't watch the last episode yet. Time flies!

Howdy Partners!
Don't mean to interrupt your beer swilling and banter in the saloon but I have to shamelessly promote my little one's fun fact this week. Would appreciate if you would check it out and zap if you see fit. Unlike some who are using chatGPT to cultivate their facts, she got hers from one of her online lessons. Proof of work, I say.
Thanks guys, have a good weekend. Back to bar fights and bitcoin.
Cheers, GR

zapped. good fun fact.
reply
Much appreciated Darth.
Listened to Matt Carallo on TFTC. I like how measured he is on lightning stuff, but it sounds like he doesn't believe micropayments have utility.
reply
Get him on SN for an AMA.
@k00b I think there might be an easily-exploitable flaw in the rewards system. May I have a go at it next week? I promise to return anything I earn. It's not a security vulnerability or anything, just gaming the system.
reply
next week:
reward pool goes to 1M sats
reply
deleted by author
Sure. Go for it
reply
I don't think he got so many sats from few posts. If you go to his profile https://stacker.news/dpl/all not so many zaps to cover 119k sats in one day. I think something is wrong in displaying the top stackers. Maybe is including some of his own deposits ? IDK It should be a clear distinction between sats from posts, sats from deposits, sats forwarded.
Just my 2 sats observation. Maybe I am wrong.

reply
@nemo these are the new "levels" of zapping I am applying to you and to your hidden friend.
1 sat - nice little reply, if is on point and should deserve to be upvoted 10 sats - you make me laugh 21 sats - you make a good meme (not repost mine) 100 sats - you are making a good review of a post and I do not have to do it instead (you save my time and brain cells) 210 sats - you are writing a full meta post with a nice touching story 1000 sats - you are doing something great for SN
reply
Zap codes! I like it
I have this idea for a while but never mentioned it:
I think the lightning strike animation should resemble the zap amount.
So if you zap more, you get a stronger or more lightning strike.
Sometimes, I just zap multiple times just to see more lightning strikes, lol

Goal is to get back into Linux. I have used Ubuntu before (long time ago), so my original thought was to get back to that, but there are a lot of Linux distributors, most I haven't heard of. Any recommendations as to which one to choose? Your feedback is always appreciated
reply
I would recommend Linux Mint, which is Ubuntu under the hood but with a much better interface and better package manager defaults.
It doesn't matter too significantly where you start though. Just get back into it and if you switch later then you switch ;)
reply
You will get a million opinions on here from people who know much more than me. If I were you, though, I would start with Ubuntu. When I first tried it about 10 years ago everything was a pain in the ass-wifi, printers, etc. It is easier than Windows now, if you ask me. Very convenient. Then, you can hunt around for distros to try. I think Darth recommends straight Debian.

Usually I pay for my Dunkin Donuts egg sandwich with a gift card from The Bitcoin Company. Today I got a better, but more expensive egg sandwich paying directly with bitcoin. Unfortunately on-chain.
reply
Boom none the less!

Let's go!
Also, on-chain ain't that bad. We've got to get merchants started somewhere ;)

I went this morning. I'm trying to figure out a way to contact the owner. His workers weren't giving up his privacy and the web site has no email address, just the business phone number.

Can’t wait for the weekend. Learned a lot here about bitcoin this week!
reply
sir, Bitcoin doesn't have weekends... it never stop!
reply
Correct.
There are only high-energy and low-energy days, every day is a learning day.
Going to help to one of my friend for buy bitcoin in person. He just started to learn about bitcoin 2-3 months ago but already changed most of his fiat saving to bitcoin. I always amaze on people who are so open for new things. He is one of them. He called me few months ago that "I remember you said some cool things about bitcoin and although I don't really know what it is after all it made sense. Don't you wanna meet one day to discuss how this works". Obviously I did not rejected to meet with him and introduce hime to Bitcoin. I really enjoyed the meeting especially the first one because he was so open to listen and try to understand. The end of our first meeting I told him that do not trust anything what I said. Go on, dig deep, do your own research and verify the things which I said. He liked that and he quickly started to do his own research. Few weeks later he calls me again. I pick up the phone then he says "you know what?! This bitcoin thing makes lot of sense. This is something that I am searching for since long time. I loving this options that I can verify things. I am in! How can I buy some bitcoins?(he means sats🤣)". Since then he can not resist to send messages everyday about how cool this thing is. HE IS GOING DOWN IN THE RABBIT HOLE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Loving to witness this

Just wait till you tell him about SN :)

This is great. If you don't mind me asking, what country do you two live in?

ᕦ(ò_óˇ) Day 7 of exercising everyday before the saloon opens
As mentioned yesterday, I took the train to some place I haven't been yet so I can walk back 1-2 hours.
However, I wanted to take my chances and didn't get out at a stop which was close to how far out I want to be but still a little too close.
The next stop however took longer than I expected - I didn't want to look at the map to make it more adventurous - so I was now 14km away from home which apparently should take me 3 hours. But this is fine! I'll just walk as long as I can. If I really can't do the whole walk, I'll just take the train again :)
I've gotten a bit late since I still have 8.8km to walk even though it's been 2 hours already since I got off the train. Maybe writing this already took me 20min+ (my phone is slow).
Another reason may be this: While walking, I encountered company premises for a gravel pit. There was a sign earlier but it didn't say that this will be a dead end. I didn't want to turn around and walk all the way back so I thought I just enter and look for another exit.
However, it only went deeper and deeper so I needed to find another way out. I looked at the bushes and found the railway I wanted to follow. There was a track I could continue on on the other side. So when I found a good spot through the bushes with thorns and the slope down to the railway, I took my chances again and crossed the railway. To not take too many chances, I listened for trains coming before taking the leap.
The Beginning of the Journey
So close and yet so far. I had to take another way to the other side. The slope was too steep here.

I do not see anything wrong with a company located in UAE that wants to teach bitcoin. Do you know how many bitcoiners are in UAE and other near countries? More than you can imagine.
Everyone do some meditation today. It can take you as little as a minute. Just sit or lie down with no distractions around you and breathe in deep slow 4 counts with your nose, breathe out through mouth for a 4 count. Repeat for a minute or two, until you reach 10 reps. Or 20 reps. You will feel noticeably different, it works for literally everyone, all races, all creeds. <3 Do not rush.

I'm thinking about driving over to that deli that accepts bitcoin this morning just to do a trial run and check it out
reply
Nice! Let us know how you get on!

Will do. I'm leaving now. Will pull up a seat at the saloon later.
