I got myself a copy of Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith for my birthday because I want to get more visually creative with my work. I remember when I first saw this book, before I started a serious artistic journey, I just didn’t get it. I felt inspired the other day to look it up and now I totally get it; it seems like the perfect antidote to my visual/plastic art “perfectionism” (which means not getting anything even started).
Her mantra is “to create is to destroy.” So badass.

Going through my google drive and found an old pic that perfectly describes my mood today! I am in the mood to cause some mayhem but can't find anyone to play with 😂
And yes... I should be working...

reply
No but if you want to make a small sat bet for fun. I will partake.
reply
5000 sats? On whether it is sub 60 or above? You pick.
reply
Still using Kagi search engine. The thing is pretty legit.
reply
Their small web RSS feed (https://kagi.com/api/v1/smallweb/feed) is excellent too.
Did you pay on lightning? I found the flow needed a bit of work.
reply
Havent paid for anything yet, I started using it after they did the AMA on stacker news. I'll explore their other features, but at this point I have a laundry list of freedom tech/FOSS to try out.
Day 134 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 303 sats on 29Apr2024! Running total: 87,655 sats!
There is some truth in this, or not?
reply
What does it mean to worship? When I think of my definition, none of these guys are doing that.
reply
What do you think they are doing?
Absolutely, belief systems come in countless forms, ranging from traditional religions to personal philosophies, ideologies, or even admiration for certain figures or concepts. These beliefs can indeed take on the role of a higher power in a person's life, influencing their actions, values, and perceptions of the world. It's fascinating how varied and deeply ingrained these belief systems can be across different cultures and individuals.

The biggest threat to protocols are influencers. They end up making them permissioned and political.

Good morning stackers.
Day 93 of 100 push ups till $100k completed.
reply
Closing in on 100.
reply
Yes. But I guess day 100 will be just another day of 100 push ups. It's become a daily routine for me now.
Getting paid in Bitcoin on-chain is the best way to stack some sats... no fees!
reply
no fees ?
reply
For the receiver of Bitcoins on-chain, the payer pays the fees.
It's a reversal of the common fiat payments where the vendor pays the fees.
Howdy!
94 days of 100 push ups a day until $100k down. Undetermined to go. 90 days of 100 squats a day until $100k down. Undetermined to go.

Almost two hours later my boss is still locked out of his computer
reply
did you lock him out of it?
reply
Well I was laying on the couch in his office before he got in and I guess my presence startled him and he forgot his password? TBH I am pretty confused by it as this is something I do off and on in his office since its in the morning light lol
Are we going back to daily tmrw or is the madness continuing?
reply
I’m going to switch it back to daily.
reply
We want daily rewards!
reply
Lmao I fucked up already at work and its not even 10 AM. I was laying on the couch of my subcommittee boss and I guess it startled him and he forgot his password for his computer... He has been locked out for an hour now as we wait for IT to come and unlock it.... Needless to say he is pissed
reply
So people are paying taxes so you and your incompetent boss don't know to do nothing than waste people's money... right.
reply
Homie... I don't think that was even English...
reply
It would never occur to me to lie down on my bosses furniture.
reply
Idk our office is definitely different than most. He's my boss in that he is the next level above me but he also doesn't have the ability to hire or fire. Not to mention he does need me for a lot of stuff... I kinda carved out this great little niche of being able to do/fix almost anything within the office and know how everything operates so I can push the limits more
What are you thankful for today?
reply
Thankful for being alive 😂
reply
What is the cheapest way currently to move sats from lightning to on-chain?
Some time ago I think it was phoenix, but I used it the other day and the fees structure has changed, it is no longer a good deal.
Any suggestions?
reply
reply
Good resource, but outdated.
Shows Phoenix with 0 cost from lightning to on-chain when now it definitely charges a fee.
I use boltz but it's not the cheapest. I've never had any problems.

Finally added gym time to my work calendar.

That sounds really good, I hope you tell us about your progress in the gym soon.

I feel for you. That happened to me a few weeks ago and I hated it. It felt like my days were three hours longer than they should have been.
I've been listening to lots of sports pods, recently, because of the NFL draft and NBA playoffs.

reply
Yep, just like when we die
reply
When the truth becomes uncomfortable, most people revert to perpetrating the illusion. That is something that you, as an honest and honorable person, cannot afford.

I try not to smile frivolously.

I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

Preparing for a job transition and getting fixated with left-field interview questions.
Are you a lucky person?
My answer: Throughout my career, I have benefitted occasionally from being in the right place at the right time. My latest stint at NorthLight School saw me being groomed to become a literacy coach because my colleague was intending to leave her job. This meant that I got to use my training funds to attend the online Orton Gillingham course. However, I think that my inquisitive attitude and diligent nature help me gain substantially from my luck. I regularly visit r/Dyslexia on Reddit and read books on dyslexia to beef up my knowledge. I also take the initiative to consult my contacts from the Psychological Services Branch and have them clarify my doubts.
reply
I think this answer is awesome! I love how honest it is too! It has been far too long since I needed to answer questions like this in a work setting and I am not sure I would have beefed out the answer quite as eloquently as this... I would have probably answered with, "I create my own luck", which I don't think would go down quite as well!
reply
On the contrary, I think “create my own luck” is a catchy tagline that will help interviewers remember me better. In fact, I’m going to weave it into my answer above. 👆🏽 Thanks for commenting!
reply
We get so busy worrying about the future that we forget the good things right in front of us. A kind word, a cozy blanket, cool breeze, cloudy sky, a beautiful sunset, there's always something to be grateful for. Tonight, solovely before bed, think of three things that made you smile today. End your day with gratitude, and you'll find even more joy tomorrow… Guaranteed! 😉

Thank you for the reminder!

Just the positivity that I need after realizing last night this business I tried to do with my friend is falling part. Thus making me poorer over the next few years

Finally installing Zeus. Will neutrino sync in the middle of the mountain with a 3G connection? Or is it better to do initial sync on a fast connection first in a city and then use it on 3G later? Or doesn't matter?
reply
May take a few days but should work, but it could reset.
reply
If you click on that hourglass icon, you could test your neutrino peers. If the results are higher than 150-200ms ping then you will have trouble syncing. Is enough to have one that under those values or better 30-50-70ms and you will sync just fine.
If none of those default neutrino peers will not give you good ping, it means you are too far away from their location and/or you are using a VPN that is filtering those IPs or the port.
Try other ones until you find a closest one. Or connect to your own Bitcoin node, activating neutrino on it (is just a line in bitcoin.conf) if is closer to your location.
Here is a list to find more neutrino peers: https://bitnodes.io/nodes/?q=NODE_COMPACT_FILTERS
reply
Thanks. Sorry I didn't reply right away and then I forgot. It got synced in about 5 minutes without any problem. The ping is 390ms. But it works :) I like this. It seems there are advanced settings everywhere for the advanced user but also works well with default settings for new users and the LSP seems like a great thing.

free your time, free your mind
reply
Yes! Yes! Yes!
How do I deal with them?
Thank you for your input however I choose not to have you in my world. I simply do not have space for those who do not align with my values.
How do they tend to reply?
You are SO toxic and egotistical!
I would rather they think that of me and lose them from my life instead of being dragged down by the energy they emit!

Mr or Mrs

Applying the word Mister, which is commonly abbreviated to just Mr, is a title used before your surname or full name, and is used to address a man without a higher or honorary or professional title.
Mister is derived from the term Master. It should also be noted that the term “master” is often applied to, or used in addressing politely a boy, who has not come of age, and therefore cannot use any other title.
Mrs has the same standing as Mr, and comes from the word “Mistress” which is the counterpart of “Master”.
However, both titles are only making reference to your legal name, and have a status lower than most other, if not all other, titles within a “court of legislation”.
Accepting the title of Mr or Mrs enters you in the jurisdiction of “Mercantile law”, which is also known as commercial law or trade law.
This is the law dealing with persons, the corporate sense, and businesses engaged in commerce, which deals with both private law and “public legislation”.

Esquire

Esquire is a legal title of respect, and acknowledgement of a man with a higher social rank.
Historically Esquire refers to a young nobleman, who in training for knighthood, will act as an attendant to a knight.
In legal terms it moves the status of a person higher within an administrative court, often applied to a Lawyer, who is now above the Plaintiff but still lower than the Judge.

Subject

When you are referred to as a Subject you have become a person or thing that is being discussed, described, or dealt with regarding an issue.
You are also subject to all the rules, codes, regulations, etc. issued by your master.
Your status has been dropped to the lowest level, that of a person, and only refers to your legal identity.
