You are confusing purchasing power with price in fiat.

no, you have divergent opinions that conflict with one another.

good photo! but how about showing 3-5 wallets only, too much can be confusing? 👀 or people need to do the work themselves to figure out what they like?

The notification in SN has been acting weird lately, and a bit slow.

For example, if I open a new SN tab and read the notification, the red dot in the old tab used to be gone once I read it, but it's still there now 🧐

If i write 08:20 you read it as 20 minutes past eight in the morning.

If i write 813785 you have no idea it is the block height until specified.

What unit/denomination or whatever could we use to understand it at a glance? bh?

813785 bh bh 813785 ... b813785h?

If i write 08:20 you read it as 20 minutes past eight in the morning.

Mhh, usually people add AM or PM, no?

If i write 813785 you have no idea it is the block height until specified.

Mhh, depends on context. If I see this number, it looks very similar to the number I saw the last time I looked at blockheight. So I think I could actually guess that the blockheight is meant. We also don't use any unit in our carousel at the top. It's just context and familiarity that tells you we mean blockheight.

I'm not American and we follow ISO8601 here hehe. 24h time. But I figured you'd figure it out either way ;)

We also don't use any unit in our carousel at the top

Which is what birthed this question because I couldn't figure it out for a long time, since everything was price related.

I don't want to make a full post about this, but does anyone know anything about bit pay? The reason I'm asking is that my wife went to buy tickets for the new Scorsese movie and saw that bit pay was a payment choice. I then checked it out. I guess you create an account and you can make payments with bitcoin and a bunch of shit coins? I thought it was unusual to see that option, even though it's a crappy app.

Bitpay is the enemy of Bitcoin. I can list here a lot of reasons. Stay away from them.

I could tell once I googled the company. It is interesting that a major US theater chain is accepting bitcoin, though in a shitty way. Maybe it won't be long until we can pay on LN.

Bitpay hates LN because they were the main supporters of S2X in 2017 block size wars. Bitpay will never implement LN.

They can do that but will have to implement their own payment processor with BTCPay server and dump any intermediary.

I want to have a dog at some point in my life but it's not easy to tell if I am ready for it.

I asked the local animal shelter if I can walk some dogs to get experience but they only want experienced dog walkers since their dogs aren't easy to handle :(

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @siggy47 25 Oct 2023

It sounds silly but getting a dog changed my life. I was in my late 20s, having too much fun and no responsibilities. Getting that dog made me a caregiver to another being. I had to tend to her needs. Feeding, walking, etc. It made me more reliable and productive. The wild card is how much you wind up loving the critter.

I've wondered for a while if there are health enhancing smells. Basically, are there compounds that are healthy to inhale the way there are compounds that are healthy to eat?

156 sats \ 0 replies \ @Natalia 25 Oct 2023

Yes, from what I learned there, people used to burn incense in the hospitals to calm the mind, e.g. jasmine, rose, gillyflower smell, etc. and different smell have different benefits; Food wise, I know that adding rose water to food is a normal practice, even till this day in Turkey, so something in common so far is rose?

Maybe I can try sharing more after I digested my notes.

26 sats \ 6 replies \ @siggy47 25 Oct 2023

Exactly. I can't really warm up to either. I did find Jim Carey funny early on in "In Living Color" days, but I'm sure that show is dated and seems pretty offensive now.

I was a big Andy Kaufman fan. You either loved him or hated him. Carey did a good job. I actually like him better in his recent unhinged state. Maybe that's cruel.
