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’m listening to “The Art of Seduction” audiobook by Robert Greene and while it’s all very illuminating and fascinating to hear stories about how historical figures used to seduce and to be seduced - and the things people did for love and affection - I can’t help but wonder, if and to what extent these things happen nowadays? Almost always grandiose, passionate, and often - desperate - attempts to win someone’s love? Or have we numbed ourselves to the point where most people aren’t even capable of feeling such intense emotions, let alone to acknowledge or express them?
What is the best lesson you learned from the book?
Haven't finished yet + there was a significant gap between some chapters when I wasn't listening to it for a while. But I'll think about that again once I finish it and then hopefully I'll remember to get back to ya :)
Hi, everyone,
I was working on revising my school's course materials and wanted to create notes centered on getting students to grasp the grammatical affixes, such as -s, -ed and -ing. I felt that it was vital for students to get a solid grasp of their tenses so that they have a clear idea of the time references / orientation in regard to time. However, my colleague felt that time should be devoted to highlighting various common affixes, such as -ful, -ly and -ness, so that students are empowered to unpack the meaning of unfamiliar words (when they understand the meaning of affixes).
I would like to convince my colleague to spend more time and energy on the grammatical affixes. Hence, could any enlightened educator out there give me convincing reasons as to why students should know their tenses well?
Thank you for your time!
It helps when learning a second language

🎧 Bitcoin Mining, Solar Power, and Energy Sovereignty with Brad Henderson
This was a good episode
He sure seems to talk about it often. Now I hear he’s talking about a gold backed-token via blockchain.

Is it easier to comment to your old post or create a new post and include the updated thoughts and vision?
It depends. But if your thoughts have changed in an interesting way I'd link to the old post in a discussion that shares the update.
Excited for the new epoch!
Me too!
🤠 how are you doing tonight?
I just woke up

Its wild how quickly people forget. Its not even been 5 years since the world was locked down and told mountains of lies and yet many that supposedly were red pilled still trust the state leaches.
dealing with Fiat platforms really ruin your mood, why are they so good at making things complicated...
It is sooo slow
This was a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJRi2ydxK7A
Thanks. This reminded me about a film I saw years ago but had forgotten. Posted about in the UFO territory.

Had some energy boost today, sharing is caring! ⚡️
I went back to one master who made the best çiğ borek I had ever eat, and I met his daughter this time, then I said your dad made the best çiğ borek! She then said: my dad gets up at 3am every morning and starts preparing and then goes home at 11pm every day. He even doesn't go to cousin's birthday because he prefer working in the shop, and he learned this craft from his grandpa about 7 years old, he then started to work on his own at 20+, and now he's 65, looks seemly healthy and works really sharp! and he said he will die soon if he stops doing it. 😳
I think people who find out what they love to do and focus all their time into it are the luckiest ones.
I agree. What do you love doing the most?
She said YEESSSS!!!! 🧐 https://m.stacker.news/27699

Congrats!
Private key is the way 😂
jk, but I would expect something more meaningful, like a handcrafted something, Bitcoin is indeed cool, but where is the POW?
POW: You have mined these bitcoins all by yourself! 😂😂
Congrats freak!
For some strange reason, TheWildHustle has been married for 7 years. And it’s been a pretty good time.
Did you read this old Bitcoin love story ? Originally was posted in 2014 and updated in 2018. Quite funny story.
No, I didn't. Time to read it now!
Day drinking on a huge cruise ship, wife went to get her nails done, Hustle went to proceed with the separation of money and state, Lets Go!
At least you have wifi!
Now I do 😎
Did you get the unlimited drinks package? I'm assuming you did.
This is the wa(ve)

You are going to be massive like @orthwyrm - he was described by a family member as ‘the size of a door!’ by the end of his challenge!
Good Morning how eas everyones weekends?!
Good morning! The weather was crappy but I cleaned a lot
Hi People, nice reading you all.
I was super excited to post lots of news or discussion in the visperas of the halving, but I've got a flu and I closed almost all communications for a week since I didn't have energy to read nothing.
It was like sleeping and waking up, with a halving in the middle (that only occurs every 4 years). In perspective you remember the price of btc since then and now at 66k and it doesn't matter at all, all the fluctuancy that may had happened in the middle. Long term is the king.
Hope to recover my previous participation when I have full strength. In the meantime I'm watching the effects of the halving... The mempool fee was on fire I see.
I hope you are feeling better, I look forward to what you share in the future.
An interesting point of view! https://m.stacker.news/27671
I dig it.

Day 127's comment
Hi everyone, I'm having a crazy few days, I almost haven't been able to get into Stacker.news, I hope everyone is doing very well here!
Some days are like that, as long as it evens out in the end.
I had to do battle with a huge overgrown shrub yesterday. My forearms are dead.
It reminds me of how I used to feel after a long day of rock climbing.
What kind of climbing did you do?
Mostly bouldering and climbing with a belay partner
Great story bro.

Hello Stackers!
The Triumph of the InfiniteThe Triumph of the Infinite
I got up in the night and went to the end of the hall. Over the door in large letters it said, “This is the next life. Please come in.” I opened the door. Across the room a bearded man in a pale-green suit turned to me and said, “Better get ready, we’re taking the long way.” “Now I’ll wake up,” I thought, but I was wrong. We began our journey over golden tundra and patches of ice. Then there was nothing for miles around, and all I could hear was my heart pumping and pumping so hard I thought I would die all over again.

I kinda feel like she'd know how to spell her own name, and that this would be somewhere on her site.
Feel free to disprove it, I wouldn’t be mad.
No so much disprovable as there's just no sign of it anywhere other than as a forwarded image. Senators release these things as publicity things, so the fact that nothing turns up in Google (and her name is misspelled) makes it feel too good to be true. Would be fine (somewhat) to learn it's real.
Pretty much my sentiment too.

Bold claim. Good luck!
Thanks man, doing it for myself. To prove to myself I can set a goal and go through with it even if things get in the way. Starting small.
These challenges are important at a personal level and often to prove something to ourselves. Only 1400+ to go :)

Happy Earth Day!
When my daughter first learned how to sing "Happy Birthday to You" it sounded just like "Happy Earth Day", so I have a soft spot for this holiday.
That's awesome!
https://m.stacker.news/27632
Morning. One thing I didn't mention yesterday was our concern for our oldest cat, who was showing little appetite and throwing up a bunch. Whatever it was, he got it out of his system and is totally back to his normal self today (including butting the other cats out of the way at breakfast). Definitely a good thing to wake up to.
Glad you kitty is doing better.
Instead of buying a new stove I purchased plane tickets to go see my good friend who beat stomach cancer
They will be so glad to see you

Although I'm retired, I have to keep my law license for some businesses I am involved with. Every two years I have to take CLE (Continuing Legal Education) courses online. Of course I'm hunting for bitcoin related stuff. No luck. All these lawyers talk about "crypto". Hearing the word is like nails across a chalkboard.
I think you'll have more opportunities after today.
Be a lawyer for Ross!
Looks like you've found yourself a potential business
Nah. I'm done with that. Once I get past the word, though, I have heard some stuff which might be helpful to people here if they want to start a bitcoin business. That's of course if they are not choosing the "fuck the guvs" path.
Share it please. Let's learn all the paths
I will. There are 3 or 4 classes that are relevant and not hopelessly outdated. When I finish them all and download the material, I'll make a post. I don't know yet how valuable it will be. This will take a while.
Good morning ladies and fellas. Just watering my horse before heading off the fiat mine to exchange for PoW money.

Good evening from my place. You have a good day ahead. :)

Made this poster for my students for them to reinforce the learning of the -ous suffix.
Sent it through the class WhatsApp group. Yes, many teachers have no boundaries these days. Five of them responded with the correct answers:

It’s days like this that make me really love teaching!

(propaganda) indoctrination (badly) disguised as learning we are not gonna make it, are we ;) not even aware that it's conditioning young souls to totalitarian dictatorship
ScholarshipScholarship
The official meaning of the word scholarship refers to academic study or achievement within learning at a high level.
It can also refer to a grant or payment to support the student’s education.
However, the word scholar is from the Ancient Latin word “schola”, meaning “school”, which led on to the Medieval Latin word “scholaris”, meaning “pupil”.
Learning, education and schooling are not the same thing.
Being schooled is not an education.
Further to this, you must consider the one offering the scholarship and payment therein, and question their motives and what strings are attached?
For example: a student would receive schooling to become a doctor, and once completed would then require a licence from a higher authority to practice the program, under conditions.

part of:#586916Nowadays academic scholarship be like " you need extra money"
scholar -ship.... another word related to maritime law
yep, it's all commerce
note that it doesn't say learnship or educationship :)
Very good example !
and you only need a license to do something illegal, otherwise you wouldn't need a license

I simply want to ask how you all are today? It would be really nice to get to know you all a little better :)
Just getting to this so kinda busy.
Busy Busy Busy..... That's how I am today.
I hear you! I am the same today! What is it that you do?
I'm just back home now. I was busy at the office all day. It's Monday, and I have lots of things to be done today. Such a messy Monday. What about you?
I had a day off today and I am working this eve instead - I needed to sort out the kids bedrooms argh! It has taken me nearly a week so far and I am only half way through, I am at the stage where I don't think I will ever finish them!
@siggy47 & @grayruby have some solid advice here for people looking into adoption of once-stray animals but hesitant to take the first step. Their answers are found here.
This makes SN so much greater than Google. I not only know people’s lived experiences, but also understand their thinking processes, motivations n reflections. Solid place
