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!
Just want to say you guys are awesome! Thanks for being here and Good morning! ☕🧡🌞
Good morning all. Tuesday is hear and looking good, I hope you all have a wonderful day no matter what you have to do today.
Date ranges are still messed up. Dang time zones. Need to make client<->server strictly utc ...
Okay, this might not be as interesting to others as to me, but I at least found it very interesting how I just discovered old content without even realizing how old that content is:
So I was looking at the front page and have seen that Taking a sabbatical from Bitcoin FOSS has new comments.
The new comment was this one from @031ef7d322:
I thought:
mhh, that's a good point. @031ef7d322 seems to be knowledgeable about lightning attack vectors. Let's see what else they have posted.
So I went to their profile and found this comment, a quote of something:
That caught my interest. So I decided to see what this is about and clicked on #271120.
mhmh, more interesting
Looking at the root item, I found out it's from the Weekend book recommendations post from 30 Sep. So over a month ago!
I also realized I already zapped some comments in that thread so I must have already seen it before, lol
But somehow, it caught my interest again and I think I really need to read this Designing the Internet book now. So I need to read Broken Money faster, lol
I sense a seismic shift.
Calm before the storm?

yes, NPCs will start taking CBDCs
I sense an edit… lol
My Wizard Of Oz reference might be a little long in the tooth. I feel like SN is undergoing a major growth surge. This will be interesting to observe.
Wizards of Oz, now that takes me back to my childhood, the carefree years that we will never get back.

I also should mention a bizarre coincidence (?) Some people believe Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was oddly synced to the scenes of the film. It's pretty entertaining. Just go on YouTube and search Pink Floyd Wizard of Oz. Yes, we were pretty altered in the 70s.
Definitely looking into this!
I'm no expert besides the fact that I watched the film once a year as a child. Dorothy turns to her dog Toto after the tornado knocks them into Oz and says "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." All the kids loved that line. Lots of iconic lines simply because it was a shared generational experience, I think.

Posts i like are getting zapped with enough sats to bring them to the nearest round number.
Might be early onset OCD?
lol, I do the opposite
I zap prime numbers or until it's a prime number
(to be fair, I don't actually check if it's a prime number. As long as it looks like one, lol)
Over the Veteran's Day weekend, I say a Trump flag and I realized that promoting politicians is a lot like promoting Bernie Madoff. Politicians make promises that they can't/won't keep; and so did Madoff. But at least Bernie Madoff isn't responsible for killing other people (unlike all US presidents).
You don't see anyone putting up signs saying "Madoff did nothing wrong," but you will see signs saying that some failed presidential candidate is the real president.

Started a 21-day challenge in which I aimed to learn something new about Bitcoin or interact with its ecosystem every day. I would also record my progress on Stacker News.
Day 18 - Was about to download the Bitnob app when I found out that the Alby address I created when I downloaded the Alby Browser Extension (soulsensei80@getalby.com) enables me to receive sats. I need to promote my Alby address more proactively!
Will do! Thanks for the welcome!
Finally! Welcome to the hive :)
Let us know if you have any question regarding Alby!
This!
That's awesome. Keep stacking those sats.
Keep us posted on how the Alby wallet performs.
Visiting Atlanta with my family. Off to sight see!
That sounds nice, enjoy the sights with your family, cherish these times.
Enjoy those precious moments buddy. That's what life is all about. Spending time with your loved ones and blocking out all the noise that's going on in the world right now.
Thanks my boys are 4&5. Aquarium time!

Lol, that's the spirit, weeks are going fast, today has been so far a great day, let's see how the rest goes but I'm sure it will go as planned. Have an amazing one as well my friend
Ass crack of Dawn to walk for 1.5 hours. Got some boomers joining me and I like it!
I sometimes imagine Stacker Saloon as a place we can all log in early morning, enjoy a fresh brew of coffee or tea, and not feel guilty spitting on the ground a little. I tell ya hwhat.
Spit all you like buddy. No one will judge you or clean up after you. Go nuts!

Damn chilly out there.
Don't forget your scarf. We don't want you catching a cold on your very first day of the week.
I have never worn a scarf in my life. I'm just not a scarf guy. I will wear a hat to cover my hairless head, but it's not cold enough for that yet.
You are a cravat guy aren’t you? I bloody knew it….. lol
You're on to me.
Yep. I've never worn a scarf either. I wonder what it's like.
Really annoying… you put it on, take it off and then are convinced it’s dropped out of your pocket so you keep checking you have it, until it actually falls out of your pocket and you lose the thing.
That’s why they are popular Christmas gifts i guess; constant replacement.
Lol. Now I'm glad I don't have one. That would drive me insane having to constantly check if I still have it on me. No thank you.
A shemagh is a useful item in some environments -although I wouldn’t advise wearing one at present unless for religious reasons.
Wearing those in my country aren't really an issue. I've never worn one myself but I've seen many people wear them even tough they are from different religious groups.

I always take the dog with me to put out the garbage. She walked out the door, turned around and gave me a WTF? look. She wanted to go back in.
Lol. Smart dog. No need to step out in the cold to take out garbage. That's why you should get you a butler with your SN earnings. Lol.
No matter what these sats can buy some day, a butler isn't in the plans!

Woohoo, monday! let's hope for great things!
At least the saloon is alive today. That in my books is a great start to the weekend.

Yes yes yes! Press press press!
I think you meant to say: push, push, push ;)
That’s the American version ;)
internationally called press ups :D
I'm African and we say push ups as well.
I’m just joking around - the terms are pretty interchangeable. I must admit I only tend to use the term press up but o think that is what we called them in the military. The true reasons are probably lost to time….
My time in the military they called them press ups, because it is a pressing motion. But push ups works in civvie street because well... You are pushing up... But I guess the press part of it comes from the motion similar to a chest press/bench press. Like you mentioned they're pretty interchangeable.
I've never really questioned this before. I've always accepted push ups as the term one uses when pushing his body up and down, Lol. I think both press up and push up is self explanatory to be honest. If you use any one of those terms in a conversation, the person will instinctively know what you're talking about.

Yes. I had many onboarded people that simply lost/forgot about the sats I gifted them.
It's really sad. That's why now I select very careful my targets.

I thought @nemo was a fish this whole time. Lol.
That racoon ate @nemo in his fish form but it was his plan to take over the racoon
Now @nemo is controlling the racoon from the inside as a fish
it is known
Yes, this will be fun!
I'm trying to understand how @nemo managed to hide all these - I didn't see any new features 👀
Can you check my profile. I've activated some settings to hide mine as well.
still showing 296,282 sats stacked.
wow @carlosfandango too, wait - it seems mine are done too 👀
Lol. Better sort that!
Strange. I guess I'm missing a setting. They must be the chosen ones.
check mine!
Working.

Do locals use the term ‘Türkiye’ or is it interchangeable with ‘Turkey’?
deleted by author
I wouldn't mind learning how to speak Turkish, the langues always sounds so exciting to me.
deleted by author
Wow you speak Turkish. Turkey is a complete mystery to me. When I was a kid I always asked my self why is a county named after the bird.
Lol, that is funny. Kinds really say and think the darndess things.

Are you visiting or are you planning on putting down roots there?

That's lovely. I've been there once during my return flight from Netherlands and I enjoy it. The people seems friendly and the food was just as nice.
Interesting. Funny how non-nationals get upset about people not using the formal name…
deleted by author
I was thinking more Western leftist types… the people least tolerant of honest misunderstandings are those who use it to score political points.
Like foreigners using the Spanish term ‘Hola!’ as a form of cultural appropriation. (This type of thought speak was even dropped in the recent Barbie movie when a father of a mixed-race child was called an embarrassment for trying to learn his wife’s second language.)
Oh and don't get me started about cultural appropriation, lol
I was once asked by someone that's close to me if it's okay if they wear traditional clothes of my country to a traditional party of my country
Damn, that started an argument about cultural appropriation, lol
I was bewildered that they asked me first
Who am I, the ambassador of that country? lol
I mentioned how I think that's not solving racism, that's actually racism itself, lol
To say who should be allowed to wear what
And assumes you have it in your wardrobe ‘good to go’..
why don't they just wear it 😂
I like wearing other cultures' traditional clothes.
I know what you mean, I encountered similar things with gender pronouns.
For me, it seems to mostly just be patronism. They want to help a group by protecting it since they feel they are in the minority and thus need protection.
I tried to argue that I think these groups can speak for themselves and it's mostly virtue signaling if everyone starts to change their language to accommodate them. I think that makes the situation even worse for them since they will be the scapegoat of the public. "We need to change our language because of them?!"
But I am not sure if the majority of the minority even wants to be treated specially.
If someone changes their language to not hurt me, I would be pretty pissed lol
Don't you want to be treated like everyone else? Isn't that what equality is about? Not that everyone gets their special rights?
This is the final death act in extreme liberalism… anyone can be anything unless someone else says so and then it is their right to be that thing regardless of utility…
Wow. That experience sounds amazing. People are often drawn to those with a unique aura, and you my dear must be one of those individuals with a special kind of aura. I hope you enjoy the experience.

That's great. You must enjoy it and besides, that's a really nice compliment they are giving you without saying it. Sounds like lovely people.

How's school going?
Really well, first assignment in last week and working on the next.
Usually get studying time in the evening although some days, like today, they don’t need me at work (weather is awful here) and I can do a bit extra.
Good to hear. If I would have gone to school later I think I would have gotten more out of it, and enjoyed it more.
It’s hard. Very little interaction from your tutor and all self-motivated, although I feel quite spoon fed material at times.
It has left me almost no time for writing. Hope to do some more over Christmas.
It will be worth it.
