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!

Edit: wait, didn't refresh the saloon for one hour apparently... lol
OK I will close the saloon for today with the 200th message.
May The Bitcoin Be With You all guys !
Reset the Saloon for later!

oh I see, thank you. how bad is that? people don't like to discuss about languages and stuff? I remember to post something about Crystal lang with honest curiosity but no one answered lol

I got it! my bad, was referring to tech stack lmao
of course we shouldn't say a word about our money stack, ancient knowledge =)
Lol, thanks for the clarification @nemo
Does anyone here do sector rotation strategies for stocks? If so what is your opinion on current phase/transition? Seems to me we're about to move from the "late/moderation" phase and about to go into straight recession.
I am basing this on the fact that index which tracks the proportion of TSX energy stocks above their 200 day average, it's hit a peak in 90%+ range and and looks like it's about to dip. Seems like a good time to grab things in the next phase (utilities, healthcare, consumer staples)?
Thoughts? Too early? Just right?
Jaguars and ravens go down… all those picks in the survivor pool lol
it was indeed a massacre. i wonder how many rebuys we get
I went down in flames
It’s ok, I’ll forever hold the title of “only person to lose in the first week”
so far
I guess the silver lining is the pile of sats gets bigger
Yep!
lol, I walked so much the last days that running actually hurts less than just walking. Different muscles are used I guess.
Don't get me wrong, walking does not hurt much. But running does hurt less, haha
Running and walking do use slightly different muscle configurations but suspect this is more ‘above the neck’ than below lol.
Trying hopping on one foot.. hah
What personality type is the typical stacker?

Kind of expecting SN to be skewed towards INT*.
Yes yes I know the tests are a bit silly.
Myers-Briggs was invented by the daughter of a Manhattan project spook, so I gather it's adapted from military aptitude/personality stuff. I remember on Lex Fridman, one of his CIA guests mentions they do use it for understanding and manipulating people, so it can't all be hokum. Similar to the ancient Enneagram tbh.
I already did and responded here with a detailed result

Yeah those results fit you quite well. No surprises!
@supertestnet what have you done with your testing !

ᕦ(ò_óˇ)Day 9 of exercising everyday before the saloon opensWoke up because of a nightmare at 7AM. Was hard to get up at 8AM today. In fact, I got up at 9AM and realized it's too late to do the 1h30m walk up the hill where the local gun club is. They opened at 10AM. I could come later since they're open until 12PM but I didn't want to show up later. I was quite excited yesterday. And now I didn't want to show up at 10AM just to sleep longer? Nothing good ever came from ideas like that.
So I took the train at 9:30AM to the hill and then walked up the hill.
I was then allowed to shoot some rounds with the air rifle, air pistol and .22 LR rounds:
air rifle on 10m:

air pistol on 10m:
https://imgprxy.stacker.news/ZgD9OjxuQLpiWMQX5V50JgCqfU79Nhw7cZfUxyZVNSE/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLnBvc3RpbWcuY2MvbTIzTmJ5UWMvc2lnbmFsLTIwMjMtMDktMjQtMTYxMzMyLTAwMy5qcGc
the range for shooting .22 LR rounds:
https://imgprxy.stacker.news/YOP0Fv-u0Wl2zUL_MNNvJf7CNGhbfvWy2M3osGJxKeA/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLnBvc3RpbWcuY2MvVkxQV1FWYlEvc2lnbmFsLTIwMjMtMDktMjQtMTYxMzMyLTAwNi5qcGc
.22 LR rounds on 25m (9/15 on target):
https://imgprxy.stacker.news/UAkjxTwT1LSBgcDIdMwF5j1WBF7eXal8rickpENSU7k/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLnBvc3RpbWcuY2MvV3B5YmhCd0Mvc2lnbmFsLTIwMjMtMDktMjQtMTYxMzMyLTAwMi5qcGc
I also learned that at the beginning, it's more important to "group your rounds" than to hit the center: if you consistently hit the same spot, it's easy to hit any spot since you can adjust your sights accordingly - at least with the air rifle, not sure about other guns.
Also, I learned that in Germany, anyone over 18 is allowed to buy an air rifle. I thought our gun laws would be stricter.
The recoil from the .22 was also interesting. I never felt recoil before. Now I am looking forward to try out 9mm or 5.56x45mm. Maybe next time if I am allowed. When I showed up, I wasn't sure if I could fire any live ammunition.
Paid 5€ for the expenses and walked at 12PM 7km back home. Got home quite late again, around 3PM. But I also stopped at a Subway to have some breakfast.
I think I'll go to the calisthenics park tomorrow. My feet need some rest, haha
Well done. That’s a good day! The principles of firing air rifle etc extend to larger calibres.. it just gives a bit more of a kick.
Aiming, as for fitness and any habit, rewards through consistency and adjustment where necessary.

The biggest dilemma of a bitcoiner... to spend or not to spend

I’m always spending. I just stack more than I spend.
only spend on the things necessary and worth it, not on junks.
Limited money deserved fine quality.
It has been an eventful morning. I spoke to the guy who owns the deli. Turns out that he was away for the week when I paid my visit. That's why I had to pay on chain. We had a great conversation. He is deeply into bitcoin, to the extent that he wants to visit El Salvador. He accepts lightning, has had meet ups in the deli, and is no newbie. I encouraged him to join SN. There is a whole local bitcoin community near me that I didn't know existed. He said that's because everyone keeps to themselves. There's a lesson to be learned there.
OMG. That is awesome. Kick over the Bitcoin rock and look what comes out. Such amazing news. Get him on SN as a referral!
He says he will join.
A warm welcome awaits. Let’s be honest I am not likely to get to an out-of-the-way NY deli anytime soon (sadly) but I can recommend it to other bitcoiners who might!
I know. Anyone visiting New York will stay in the city. I'm more focused on trying to help build a local community. My next step is to find other local businesses and get them on BTC Map. An example. Last night I was traveling north of New York City. I checked my BTC Map app to see if there were any local businesses around that I could patronize for a cup of coffee or snack. Unfortunately I came up empty, but now I will make a habit of it.
Time to start a coffee shop meetup.
That's my hope. Apparently he has held them in the past. It looks to me like there was some sort of meetup that fell apart during covid/bear market.
A true warrior here!

Beer in a wine glass? Pizza with a fork and knife? Beautiful setting
the AI still didn't learn how to eat pizza and drink beer...
Just a heads up, guys. I just got some good news. I heard back from the owner of the deli I went to and he's interested in increasing his bitcoin sales. @DarthCoin, I really think lightning would be a good first step. Seeing his business, it's very busy during rush hour, so I have a feeling he would prefer a static address as opposed to a more sophisticated invoice type set up. Any recommendations?
P.S.
Sorry to interrupt happy hour with business!
Emergency broadcast! That interruption is very welcome.
Happy to help!
Static address ?
Here is a guide

Thanks. I was about to publish an article about my visit and try to give his business some publicity (local bitcoiners and maybe out of towners visiting Pub Key, although it's pretty far away). It's a very good business located close to a major commuter highway for people working in NYC.
let's pour some bitcoiners to his place...
Maybe my "pay it forward" initiative?
Exactly. That's what I was thinking at first. The problem is it's just the on-chain bar code that I showed in the photo I posted. I'm not sure how it would work logistically. It's also a very busy, typical New York business. People are impatient. It needs to be fast. That's really the way New York is. Not just a cliché!
any other specific help you need, you can contact me in private.
Thanks
100.!

Saloon hours are tough. I'm waking up when everyone else is starting happy hour.
LOL in just 1h we already have almost 100 comments here. Is pure madness
sir, adapt to Bitcoin time... UTC -->BUT 😂😂😂 (Bitcoin Universal Time)
The whole Bitcoin network is working only at this time. All the rest is noise.
my timing works really nice with here, got up - breakfast - time to join the salon.!
I need to wake up an hour or two earlier or I'm out of sync
The whole sleep schedule thing is an arbitrary construct
Lol. You know the real happy hour only starts when you walk through those saloon doors.

Which brand do you normally drink? I'm not much of a drinker but I do enjoy a Heineken if I decide to have a drink.
My forever love is Leffe (belgian beer)

But I normally, daily I drink any beer available.
I buy in bulk, sale offers, cheap (stacking hard sats). Beer never "expire".
I've never heard of this brand. I use to drink Grolsch when I spent some time in Netherlands.
In the U.S. they have started putting "best before" bs expiration dates on beer bottles.

Noted sir. You won't catch me shilling any shitcoins today.
Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame. ...…
Except defeating shitcoiners as those scummbags deserve all the shame and anger coming - completely understandable.
Many people see me as the evil Darth Vader yelling at shitcoiners, but in fact I am just trying to lift them up, to wake them up, doing good with them.
Will take time until they will understand my "method"... they hate me today but will love me tomorrow. Soon they will understand my "anger".

Craft work is true proof of work
More crafts are in the process:) handmade things are really take time, but so worth it.
And under appreciated by many fiaters. I trained as a bookbinder originally - it’s reduced to a hobby project business these days.
yep, fiaters love whatever is fancy and well-marketed, especially now that they are so used to doing everything for the image, they forget to look at the product itself.
THAT is real proof of work!
