This might be a dif view but with the House passing the funding bill it looks like crypto should be up next. Esp. with McHenry retiring at the end of the term!

waiting for funds to clear so I can deposit some sats and be active here more. joined just a couple weeks ago, and been learning all about the lightning network. its been a real hassle, but I think I'm slowly getting it. need to learn Nostr and Github. anyway, I want to post more, but struggling to keep sats up right now. hopefully my funds will clear soon and I can make a deposit here. Thank you all for welcoming me and allowing me to have some fun with you.

Just got finished working on another podcast script
This one is for the Freedom Tech Wrap podcast.
Checkout the next episode on fountain (https://fountain.fm/show/6165928)
......And what are the freaks thoughts about podcasts becoming territories. I was thinking that It could be a cool way to crowdsource latest developments and zap contributing stackers. At this point territories are mainly an expense, but if the expense enables you to create a community it might be worth it. Imagine being the first one to post the latest zeus update to the FTW Territory, it costs 500 to post but TheWildHustle zaps 1k for all updates that are added to the weekly pod.
Let me know what you think freaks!

Part 7 - Induction is now out: #475883
( Submersible is a serial interactive sci-fi story unique to Stacker News. )
Readers vote with sats for where the story will go and guess at the solution to puzzles, riddles, and challenges presented in the story. A 4500 sat bounty was awarded for the last successful solution, and consolation prizes and additional bonuses for other participation.
Influences include Westing Game / Glass Onion / Clue / Choose Your Own Adventure / Agatha Christie / Sherlock Holmes / Ayn Rand
Here is a link to part #1 #446662 so you can start at the beginning.
Here's a piece of part one to give you an idea:
Submersible, Part 1
Mr. and Mrs. Kevin and Rebecca Boseman were on the smooth marble walkway clicking toward the centerpiece mansion of Oceanside Estates. "Beautiful," she remarked of it, and of the manicured landscaping, and of the modern, low-profile architecture ahead. "You too," he replied.
Rebecca was a grounded woman, given her stature; her formals were not entirely comfortable for her. A mostly unsocial workaholic, Kevin strode aside her with a posture chosen to match the occasion. Like the other guests to the billionaire's island, they felt fortunate to have been invited, but were curious and skeptical that no itinerary had been revealed.
The Bosemans had arrived just after a famous vocalist and aspiring starlet named Melody Moods had begun working the crowd inside. Melody's voice filled the lawn through the front door as they approached, supported by ambient sounds of a socialite crowd.
"Ah, the Bosemans. A delight to welcome your arrival. Please," the doorman said as he beckoned for Mrs. Boseman's fashionable overcoat. "My name is Silas, and I am at your service. Please feel welcome, and free to introduce yourselves to our other well respected guests."

reply
The question doesn't make sense:
  1. if is a shitcoin, you do not "invest" in... Are you eating shit? No. Same with shitcoins. You have to be insane to touch them.
  2. The only investment is in knowledge.

Tip of the month (April) - make your own detox refresh

We are about to enter into month of April, the month of flowers and green. So, depending on your geographical region, there's an amazing arbutus plant named Elderberry or Sambucus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambucus
So I recommend you to make your own delicious refreshment with the flowers of this plant. It's easy and is a natural detox for your liver, blood and heavy metals.
In April - May, the white flowers of this arbust are easy to find and collect. Collect them with the entire corona. Then put them on a paper into the sun to dry fro 2-3 days. Keep them in paper bags later in a dry environment.
Recipe:
  • take a big crystal carafe/ bowl, like 5-8L, depending on how much drink you want to make.
  • put a good hand of dried flowers on the bottom of the bowl / carafe
  • add 600-750g of sugar, or honey. For 8L of water, max 750g sugar. Depending on how sweet you want it.
  • add 4 lemons, in slices
  • add 10g of fresh yeast
  • some mint leaves
  • 8L of water
Then leave that recipient into the sun, 3-4 days, moving the content every day, to help the yeast to make its magic. Taste it every day to see if is needed more sugar or lemons, as you feel comfortable. If is too sweet, just add more water.
after 3-4 days, depending on the sunny days and temperature around 20-25C, you will notice the bubbles.
Then filter the juice out from the ingredients and put it in bottles into the fridge. Do not move it 24h. After 24h, if you see a lot of yeast at the bottom of bottle, slowly filter it out into another bottle. Then put it back into the fridge for another 24h.
Now you have an excellent healthy refreshment for your entire spring and summer. Thank me later.
reply
I just put like 30 flower bunches in water with some lemon slices and sugar for some days to make an elder flower juice concentrate. It's the perfect taste of childhood.
reply
My elderberry consumption normally comes in a less healthy form that's not helpful for my liver, but we planted some last fall, so I'm going to have to try this.
(To be fair to our hard liquor cabinet, we also have elderberry tea around the house.)
reply
wow how much alc have that liquor? Yes, from the fruits also can be made wine and liquors.
reply
It's 40 proof/20% alcohol by volume, which isn't a ton for hard alcohol (vodka tends to have double that), but definitely a lot more than most wines and beers.

When I was arrested for "disobedience to authority" they put an "attorney" by default. When he came to me to talk, my question to him was: "If you want to "represent" me as you claim, are you ready to be fully responsible for anything will happen in that judge room? I mean, you will take all the charges on yourself and I can get out free? If you "represent" me then you also pay for anything they want me to pay, right?"
His face got white. I entered into the judge room and I repeated the same. Then the judge asked me: are you representing yourself? My answer was: I am myself, I can't represent myself, I am a living man, that can speak for himself. I am not a dead man or a incapacitated man, that need somebody else to speak/ represent him. Judge: ok, let's continue. Me: We cannot continue this theater until we establish something important here. And I simply asked: "Can somebody in this room prove that have any authority over me the living man? Is there a document I signed myself where I gave that authority to somebody else?"
Long moment of silence and the judge closed the case and I went home free. ALWAYS STAND YOUR GROUND. Do not give up in front of their theater,.

Did you bring your own chair?
reply
we don't have anymore chairs.... we sold them for more sats. And did you know why some bars do not have chairs ? Because if you drink seated at a table, you will get drunk faster. If you stand up, you will drink more. Drink more = more sales for the bar. You get it now?

I have a friend that I used to drink with. Every time we went to a bar, I knew that he doesn't want to pay the rounds, because he went straight to sit at a table, in a corner.
When you are thirsty and your pocket is well enough, you don't go to a table, you sit at the bar, standing up. And order one by one... People that goes to sit at a table will not drink too much, are just passing by.
