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!
Why do spending Sunday and fun fact Friday only happen sporadically? The names suggest they happen every ${fri/sun}day
Oh wow, just seeing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page for the first time. Might be a nice default tab for me given I'm already excessively on SN.
I want to finish up participating in part 2 of the Broken Money book club but first I want to merge pending prs and deploy personalized feeds.
I need to clean my laptop screen. I thought for a second @k00b had added wizard hats, but it was just some dirt perfectly placed above one of the cowboy's hats making it look pointy. Haha.
wizard hats... idea for a new feature? hahaha, I like wizards
I think the ordinals wizards ruined wizards for most stackers.
Good point... I am too much into rpg hahaha and maybe I was lucky to don't know a thing about ordinals.
@k00b petition to add a "pin comment" to top of post replies for OP? Could be useful in case the OP wants to add additional context later for people to see, or highlight and correct fk ups (in my case)
Petition granted.

Also watching F1 Academy races building up to the US Grand Prix with my son. He's mostly playing Roblox! 🤣
going through something I don't post or talk about much, but it is getting really rough lately. a custody battle with my nearly six year old son's mother - a narcissistic bi-polar.
rough times...
still I stack sats and seek humility
Sorry to hear that, sending support your way!
Appreciate it!
Damn that's tough. Hopefully in all her flaws she is a good mom. I think the greatest fear for any parent is to lose a child and second to that is to not be able to be around for their child. I have always taken solace in the fact that if anything ever happened to me or if things did not work out between my wife and I, our kids would be ok because she is a great mom.
I hope everything works out for you.
Thanks so much!
For those looking to get their hands on any digital book or article, I really recommend this website…

Howdy gang!! It's Sunday funday, wings today and scalloped potatoes with corn on the cob, an NFL game, and let's see what the day brings, just gonna relax and enjoy the day, fully charge my energy so Monday I'll be on full steam ahead. I wish you all an amazing Sunday, may it be filled with relaxation, success and most of all, love. As always, be well and stay frosty my friend.
Coach you must come talk NFL with us some time over on Meta. Who is your team?
I'm a packer fan since 2001. Where in meta???
I do a daily sports post in the meta sub called stacker sports- meta takeover and we do weekly NFL pick em contests.
Sweet, send the link buddy, would love to contribute!!
Do not under estimate fat people.
shut up and pay for his healthcare... https://i.postimg.cc/Z5g5QYKc/healthcare.png
We need to talk about it. Fiat currency is the least of our concerns compared to the obecity pandemic,
Counterintuitively, as long as you remain relatively productive (carry a job and pay taxes) fat people might be ideal for the system... pay taxes into the system, die of an MI in their 50s-60s.
Contrast this with the costs of supporting 90 year old grannie with slowly progressive dementia who retired at 65, has been drawing social security checks and Medicare for decades, living in a long term care home with recurrent trips to the ICU for pneumonia. Estranged kids who don't visit in the hospital continue to say they "want everything done".
Obesity is terrible for the individual, but it is the long term costs of the elderly that is bankrupting our system.
Food for thought (see what I did there). The obesity pandemic is a symptom of the fiat system's reliance on excess consumption.
Obecity is a lack of education, its a lack of accepting something is wrong, and its a lack of wanting to do something about it. So you cant solve anything until you have solved obecity imo.
On a general level there will always be obecity, but when its so widespread as it is today, forget about solving any other problem.
I understand this can make the situation kind of hopeless but maybe thats because it is.
I don't like the name
sn-goapithat I have chosen for a library in Golang to access the Stacker News API.Anyone has a better name?
snapi sndk
sn-gosnapi?
You're not new, you'll find the way, right?
Shot in the dark You didn't give us much to work with.
That's true but there isn't much to work with, haha
It's just a library to use the public but so far undocumented Stacker News API from Go
snapigo, then?
I doubt this is worth the effort.
I like this one.
Imagine you're Satoshi and you show up in a saloon full of bitcoiners and proof that you're Satoshi and then everyone tells you "congratulations, now go fuck yourself" and you get kicked out of the saloon
And then you're proud of them
at least give the man a beer, outside in the desert will be thirsty.
I managed to accumulate enough sats to buy a $10 supermarket voucher from Bitrefill. Small time game, I know but it made me happy to know that there’s one thing I never have to rely on for fiat 🤗
Enjoy that feeling!
It’s horrible having to dip into your tomorrow stash today but it helps the bitcoin ecosystem in its way… and you can eat!
(I work minimum wage and have very little left for stacking but I am hoping even a few sats put aside now will make a difference in the future)
Yes, eating is important! Haha
Hang in there, mate!
If you go, no one may follow That path is for your steps alone
Followers generate followers.
That's it. That's my comment.
There comes a point in time when you realise that change must come from within yourself
A half hour ago this place was empty. Now I gotta stand around and wait for a drink.
Imagine Stacker Saloon but in VR
Day 190 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k. __@_'-'
🫡
👍
Bow to the snail!
And the snail is here. Phew!
Welcome __@_'-' Hope you're having a good Sunday.
Snaily prepares for battle against the establishment. https://i.ibb.co/T2RKH4W/OIG-2.jpg
Looks like anti air snail because of the barrels on the back
Snaily has adapted to the times. Ninja's have to embrace modern weapon types.
Reminds me of the movie: Ninja Assassin.
I want paratrooper snail now!
Paratrooper snail reporting for duty, sir! https://i.ibb.co/WBJgH7R/d9603335-2610-463a-9214-bec0d6e160c5.jpg
‘every snail an emperor..’
I always knew Snaily had royal blood coursing through its veins. https://i.ibb.co/LRKyJ6L/903de52e-f0dc-4748-944e-3d0ada19ea5c.jpg
Awesome!
Thank you buddy. I'm glad you like it.
I'm not at my PC at the moment but I will definitely comply with your command as soon as I'm back home.
Uparmoured robo-snail! ‘You have 10 minutes to comply..’
The future belongs to the snails. https://i.ibb.co/7yM8QXr/OIG-5.jpg
And I would give it to them
Snails are probably one of the animals with the lowest time preference!
Cold autumn morning, wind through trees, dew on the grass. SN, bitcoin; resting..
Nice. Captures the mood. Apropos of nothing, I was watching WC Fields clips last night. His world seems like another planet.
It’s over 100 years. The entertainment world and comedy roots he came from are certainly alien to todays internet connected world.
I was entertained, though the crappy sound quality sometimes made it tough to catch what he was saying. He had that strange delivery.
Many years ago I had a senior, though very quirky, work colleague who had that eloquence / verbosity (I think that is the description) with his words and that delivery which I took for a posh drawl. Now, years later and I often do impressions, with great affection and fondness, of him and I have come to the conclusion he lived his life speaking like WC Fields. And that gives him the last laugh as none of us realised at the time.
He was incredibly talented. I think he wrote all his stuff, his physical comedy was great. He was even a really good juggler.
I heard he started as a juggler. But he was also very rehearsed with his material and that may explain why he was so protective of it.
@k00b the LN-auth is still not working. Did you find out something?
Are there certain reproduction steps? I signed in with LNAuth via BlueWallet yesterday and it worked for me
https://i.postimg.cc/jdYb4Yzk/sn-ln-auth-error.jpg
with alby configured this way (it's an old account) https://i.postimg.cc/Dwb1ksWz/alby-ln-auth.jpg
all this happen after alby released the latest version with onchain swap or something like that. Not sure if is related, but I didn't changed anything in my login settings.
If I use the same alby account configured in Zeus or Bluewallet app and login, it will go to a new SN account not the original.
try with alby using the browser
take out all your cowboy credits. SN is ded.
Back up the mountain you go…
You mean the original SN?
SN is ded... long live SN
Has anyone seen a snail? Short, slow moving, has a big shell on his back?
This is the only snail I've seen. https://i.ibb.co/ZG72074/OIG-6.jpg
It's holding the 30k line...
Emptiness
Yeah. The traffic in the saloon have been very slow these past few days. I guess cowboys don't enjoy drinking rum anymore.
Whatevenis the saloon.
I'm thinking Jim Beam. Does the job for a workingman's price.
I've never had Jim Beam. Johnnie Walker and Jack Daniel's I would consider reasonably priced for the workingman.
I like Jack Daniels better, but Jim Beam is real Kentucky bourbon. It's cheaper than Jack Daniels, and Jack isn't exactly high end either. Johnnie Walker has a little more Scotch snootiness.
I will have to check if the local liquor store sells Jim Beam. Jack Daniel's has a reasonable price range in South Africa hence its popularity.
Same in the U.S. I'm not an expert, but my friends who drink high end bourbon consider Jim Beam good for the price. I have tried their expensive stuff, but I can't tell the difference. I'm happy with my Jack.
Don’t get me started on whisky’s…. I do love a drop of Jack. Some of the high-end JDs are very nice.
Wow. Quiet today!
Yep. I wonder if it's the beginning of a trend
The trend of more quality content in the saloon? ;)
gets kicked out of the saloon
Thanks for dropping…. bye. lol
…This is the trend, my only friend The trend of our elaborate plans…
Oh. Don't conjure Jim. We'll go to dark places
True. I’m walking a fine line there.
Fuuu just a little early to be the first one...

Same. This is what I get for going places with no internet signal.
let's have a humble start again! Instead of thinking "we lost it."
Indeed. Onward with a new streak!!
Welcome to the day one cowboy hat, Lol.
