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!
Day 11 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 863 sats on 28Dec2023! Running total: 9,109 sats!
I wonder if anyone else listened to Fran Finney on WBD? It was oddly emotional listening to Hal Finney's wife talk about him. @grayruby asked me the other day about another satsraiser. Maybe her ALS charity would be worthy. I'm glad MacCormack never asked her THE question. I recommend everyone give it a listen.

Sorry about the delay. I was flying out to Europe and left at 05:00, and there simply wasn't any time to do the push-ups until now...

You had a whole plane ride. πŸ˜‰ Good job for getting it done when you're knackered out from travelling πŸ‘Š

I want to be able to mute territories.
reply
This is a good idea. I like territories but ability to curate a users own feed to only show the topics they are interested in is a better experience.
reply
I'll do my best to ship it today. If not today by the end of the weekend. 🫑
reply
great, is it possible to have the option to mute territories but then at the same time still be able to read some stackers' posts in certain territories?
like, maybe I want to read @birdeye21 posts in Earth or @davidw' post in Privacy πŸ‘€
reply
You will be able subscribe to their posts (and get notifications for it) or visit the territories directly.

Zap to zero day 2 (thanks to @jgbtc for the nice catchy name)

Total satsback so far: 3492 sats (3492 sats yesterday)
does not include people zapping me over the day
Didn't think about territory earnings when I posted about this "survival game" yesterday. I think it doesn't make sense to include them in my accounting of this "zap to zero" experiment. Wanted to show off my territory earnings anyway. Especially my ~crypto earnings. Maybe I already made more from ~crypto than some people ever did with their "crypto", lol.

Total zapped so far: 13k-ish sats (13k-ish sats yesterday)
Not entirely sure since top does not show the exact amount of sats:
I also found a bug in our calendar component. Funny how you can break stuff by just using it in ways in which it might not have been used before, lol. Always reminds me of the joke about a software tester walking into a bar.
But a better way for keeping track of how much I spent would definitely be as mentioned by @elvismercury yesterday:
In service of this idea, here's a renewed call to have SN report the amount of sats zapped each day, in the same notification that tells you how many sats you've earned. Would help with this accounting.
Will try to look into this today. I like to do small stuff in breaks of working on big stuff.

XP points gained so far: +4 (+4 from yesterday)
Had to stay up late just to find content that is worth my last few hundred sats. I wanted to make them count. I also noticed that I don't really want to zap old content with these precious last sats since that old content is unlikely to give me sats back iiuc (yil!) our own reward algorithm. However, I just had to zap this comment when I saw it. To find the comments that I zapped yesterday, I asked satistics for help. And I found another bug, yay! Might be related to caching, not sure yet. Since I think it's funny to see what I zapped (and how much I zapped it) and I like to be transparent, here are the last few zaps that I did yesterday:
The last zap might have been a "Let's get this over with"-zap.
I'll stop writing now. This has already taken way too long to write. And I still need to proofread this before posting.

btw, if you clicked on any links to my file server, I am going to track you through any VPN you might be using.

But how should I call this operation? Operation Going Broke?
reply
Awesome reporting. That must have taken a long-ass time to put together.
reply
Even trying to zap all your sats away, you're still only 4th in spending!
reply
I stacked more than you with only 2 posts and 35 comments though
which in some way makes this even more embarrassing that I wasn't able to overtake you in spending
reply
Even that was pretty close, despite the fact that I had zero posts.
You are outstacking me in this thread pretty substantially, but we both know why that is.
reply
despite the fact that I had zero posts.
I didn't get this tbh. You did have posts yesterday - at least according to my screenshot πŸ€”
reply
I must have misused the top stacker list then and I couldn't remember if I had posted anything.
reply
Mhh, you are right, you didn't post anything:
Mhh ...
reply
I posted a bunch the previous day, but I don't know why that got picked up in your screenshot. Are the dates Texas Standard Time or local standard time?

Aren't snails always late? Or is it just a matter of perspective?
reply
A Frenchman is sent out to get the ingredients to make escargot for dinner, he dutifully visits the marche to collect snails and garlic.
On the way back he is waylaid into a bar by a friends and after 4 hours of solid drinking is completely plastered.
He races home and as he makes his way up to the front door he trips and his wife, alerted to his presence, opens the door with an angry demeanour; β€˜what time do you call this?!?’
The man looks about himself and with the snails scattered on the front step says; β€˜come on lads, you can do it, only 6ft to go!’
reply
I gave you more, but just for old time's sake.
reply
Thanks but I definitely do not deserve that!
reply
So how are things going? Any New Years plans/resolutions?
reply
All good. Quiet one with friends. How about you?
As for resolutions do more of the things that give myself and family a greater sense of togetherness.

Hello. Lack of energy usually comes from over consumption of carbs which raises your insulin resistance. This means the energy cannot enter the cells regardless of how much you eat or drink. The irony is that for example Energy Drinks are packed with carbs and will not help you in that department. Sorry
