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!
I saw the word “spill” and thought that I would teach my students an idiomatic phrase - “spill the beans”.
They taught me that Gen Zers use “spill the tea” to refer to gossiping instead.
The teacher is now the student. I love this feeling.

I talk with Prince Filip of Serbia, a prominent Bitcoiner, and Chief Strategy Officer at Jan3. We talk about Prince Filip's work at Jan3 engaging in high-level conversations about Bitcoin with nation-state leaders as well as his thoughts on monarchy, democracy, and culture.
We discuss the role of Bitcoin and sound money and the chance presented for smaller countries such as Serbia and New Zealand to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.
I also extend an invitation to Prince Filip and the Jan3 team to come visit and help spread awareness about what Bitcoin could mean for New Zealand, in particular its connection to energy and infrastructure.

This is the thing that very few bitcoiners (real ones) warn about. Shame on all others that are focused only on ETFs and "get rich".

Did my first set of 40 right after I got out off bed. Going to do the second set of 40 when I get home from work. Seeing you guys talk about clap push ups make me want to try to do the final 20, which I'll do after dinner, with claps. Will report back on how it went afterwards.
reply
Did 40 regular push ups right after work. Did the final 20 with claps just now; the first 10 was straight forward, 11-15 was starting to get tiring, started to struggle on 16, and barely got high enough above ground to do the clap for 18-20. 20 clap push ups felt much harder than 40 regular ones. But yea, another day, another 100 in the books. See you guys again tomorrow.

Whoop whoop! You gonna be massive!

If I could get back to the physique I had two years ago I would be happy. Was in good shape working out at least 5 days a week. Now I would say I am in ok shape.
I had a herniated disc in my back a year and a half ago and that really slowed me down. Didn't do much besides walking for a couple months and then when I got back into exercising it was just lifting light weights 3 times a week. Now I am lifting a big heavier, but still not heavy, 4 times a week. Hopefully the daily push ups give me some momentum to get back to my routine from two years ago.
My son has a daily workout he does for taekwondo which includes kicks he practices, push ups, sit ups, squats, planks and 30 mins on the exercise bike. I did it with him a couple weeks ago and was able to complete the whole work out but I was sore for days.
reply
It’s really good you are back into the routine of exercise - a disc prolapse is no joke either physically or mentally.
As with any training it’s about overload to allow you to improve. As the total number doesn’t get any larger (with this method) the number of reps per set needs to increase or the rest between sets decrease.
And always remember; sore today, strong tomorrow….
reply
The mental side of it was a big component. Being willing to test yourself but know your limits as well.
Good advice.

What happens after 100k?
Do we need to do 200 push ups until 200k?
reply
Not sure. Just saw the challenge making the rounds on Nostr and Twitter and thought it would be a good thing to try on SN. I guess after 100k we come up with something new. I vote for 200 squats.
reply
I did mine yesterday, only at 20 for today.
reply
Why not 21 ? 🤠
reply
Obviously because I'm too weak
reply
Anyone who turns 20 will also turn 21, and it is a much more beautiful number 🤠
reply
I'll get there as soon as my shoulder allows it
reply
reply
I would be happy if I could do 1 one arm push up between now and 100k.
That's my bum shoulder though
Start of a full week on the Fiat side. My wife was just involved in a hit and run and the jerk fled off. We had to get a tow and will be out our $1000 deductible fiat insurance is a joke!
reply
I learned the hard way that insurance against uninsured drivers doesn't pay out if the uninsured driver flees the scene.

Day 8 of Fountain clips Sats Stacked: 168 (fountain only, I'm not keeping track of SN and nostr) Follower: 6
Today's clip is from Part of the Problem episode 1085 Domestic Imperialism.
Guest Keith Knight makes an interesting argument that if the state raised money voluntarily (like a market based corporation), instead of coercively, then progressives would hate it for all the same reasons they hate other large corporations.

Do you have a particular goal in mind
I want to learn the song that I am reading from a sheet
do you just play for fun to your heart’s content?
But also this. It's also relaxing, especially when your muscle memory starts kicking in. It's like your body is playing on its own and you can listen to live music lol
reply
Good job!
reply
Thanks :) I wonder who will be the first one to recognize the song. I have learned only the first two parts for now.

You didn’t fuck up because you did some reflection and identified how you could maintain your routine. Slip-ups are common, even necessary. I hope these sats put a smile on your face
