Hello! I'm back, and I'm bringing with me my new Noob Lightning Review. I've been sick lately so I had to postpone it a little bit. But I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed doing lots of research to bring a really complete review for you!

Darth would you rather run into a tax collector or a shitcoiner in the woods?

reply

hahaha good question. I think a shitcoiner. Is easier to convince him to use bitcoin. A tax collector is just a "orders follower" so is useless to try to convince him to use bitcoin.

Never underestimate the universe's ability to surprise you with even more idiocy.

@k00b, @kr, @ek, how am I supposed to pay monthly fees, if my balance can't go higher than 99999 sats?

I get an error when topping up to 100k. My wallet currently has 99999 sats...

reply

Hit the pay button and an invoice will pop up

reply

Which page? Does it work on mobile? I don't see a "pay" button. Let me toggle off auto-renew (?)

reply

It’ll work on mobile. When your territory is due, you’ll get a notification and it’ll have a pay button.

reply

It's due in ~1h. Is there some kind of grace period? I'm out of the house right now.

reply

Yes, grace period is 5 days iirc

I have the strangest relationship with food. I have no trouble not eating, for days even, but if I do eat I don’t want to stop until I’m 100% full.

reply

The same here. Also, here in my country, there's a tradition that wives only eat food either with their husbands or after them. So, wives force husbands to eat, no matter you're hungry or not. πŸ˜‚

In summer, I only eat once a day and I've been practising this for more than 10 years now. My health has no impact whatsoever. It seems that by eating less frequently but by drinking more frequently, I feel healthier and energetic. It's also a truth that in the past 10 or may be 20 years (actually, I don't remember) I've not fallen ill or been diagnosed for anything serious.

If there's some mild issue, I know a bit about Ayurveda and Yoga, and I always get back to normal again within sometime.

reply

Hustle has been eating steak eggs and fruit for 4 days. The wife is impressed, but it’s pretty fun and easy.

reply
I have the strangest relationship with food.

You are not alone! My relationship with food is quite similar! 😁

reply

do you make it a point to chew you food very well?

reply

No

reply

I've noticed a marked change in my life, as someone who used to very consciously chew the hell out of my food, that I've gained wait, and started eating a lot more, since I stopped chewing my food very well. And it wasn't until reading your post that I realized that this is what is going on. All my friends knew I was the slowest eater, and would generally be the last to finish any meal. I haven't thought about it in a while. My recommendation is that you make it a point to chew the hell out of your food. Don't let yourself swallow unless you've made every bite of food into a liquid. Update me in two weeks. (I'm going to start doing the same!)

reply

one of the interesting theories I had read is that humans used to just need to breath, drinking and eating was started for pleasure, but as time went by, now eating 3 times a day, because the body adapted to that way.

reply

What! Can we just go back in time then?

Good morning stackers.

Day 98 of 100 push ups till 100k completed.

Shilling my weekly hiking post. This week we head to Alexander Falls in the middle of winter. Yes, another frozen waterfall, check it out.

Today is also race day. I will be running my 5th marathon today; it is one that I'm least confident and most nervous about, because I'm out of shape and did not train enough for it. At this point, I'm just aiming to finish the run without injuring myself. Wish me luck.

reply

Next week we celebrate the end of the third year of Bitcoin Brunch in Miami with #156. It will be part of a Bitcoin Vortex starting Thursday with Understanding Bitcoin Source and Miami BitDevs and Saturday Bitcoin Day Miami. Monday after tomorrow we have the Broward County Bitcoin meetup, and finally my friend's open mic where several venders will be accepting bitcoin!

I practice tai chi predominantly the Yang style and I teach a class on Sunday mornings. I’ve been learning since I was 20 - I’m now 45 but I have only recently begun to use online platforms to promote myself.

The internet has really opened up the chance to find high quality tai chi from around the world and see what other practitioners are doing. As it’s such a vast art there can be a lot of different approaches and different skills that result.

If you’re a practitioner feel free to comment and let me know what you practice and who your influences are . Thanks. πŸ™

reply

I really enjoyed the tai chi classes that I took in undergrad. I've fallen out of practice, but it did permanently change my body mechanics, so in a sense I'm also constantly practicing.

reply

πŸ’― yep I know what you mean, once you get the basics down it can become a daily practice even just in the way we stand, walk, sit etc.

reply

I have long been curious to try a Tai Chi practice.

Pancho Villa and his Crew

reply

I'm not an expert on Pancho's history, but I know he's a very controversial figure. Some people see him as a hero, while others view him as a villain. Maybe it depends on which side people are on. If I'm not mistaken, he was the only one who attempted to invade the United States of America, right?

reply

Correct. General Pershing, of WW I game got his reputation during that conflict. Pancho is a hero from the Mexican side. In my opinion the American story is likely propaganda.

reply

Good morning stackers. Got a zany idea. If this post gets 1000 sats I’ll reveal the idea and put it into action.

reply

I am in

reply

If it is a bad idea, are going to give the sats back to stackers? 😁😁

reply

That’s the risk you have to be willing to take. But if you know me it usually means I am parting with my sats in some way

RespectRespect

It is often quoted that you should give respect to people or just β€œrespect others”. However, the correct term is consideration and not respect, as respect has to be earned over time.

The origin of the word respect comes from the ancient Latin word β€œrespectus”, which is the combination of the prefix β€œre” meaning β€œback” or to β€œredo”, and the Latin word β€œspecere” meaning β€œto look at”.

This means that over time you β€œlook back at” the actions of someone and make a judgement, and if their actions are just, you can give your respect to them.

When you meet someone for the first time, you give them consideration whether or not to give your respect, making you β€œconsiderate”.

Once your judgement has been reached, and you find the person to have good qualities, you may then give your respect in a feeling of admiration, or in honour of their achievement.

Respect must be earned over time, and not just given away.

What about giving respect to your parents and elders in your family. Do they also be taken into consideration or should they earn respect before actually getting it.

I'm mostly agree with today's Wordplay or word knowledge except for the thought that I just mentioned. Kindly enlighten further if I've missed on something.

before age of maturity, father and mother are guardians, and must obey them. after it's your freedom and responsibility. afaik

reply

What about giving them unconditional love and respect without consideration?

respect without consideration?

it's not respect. respect is to look back at previous actions and act accordingly

reply

Ahhh, okay!!

I get it now. Sorry arguing for nothing. This is clearly mentioned in your definition. If parents want respect they should so earn it by taking care of their kids in the best possible way they can.

reply
Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned.

β€” unknown

reply

You got my "respect" for this meaningful information.

reply

I really appreciate this breakdown - the amount of times I have been told that I should "respect" a person and asked why? I am happy to be kind and show them consideration however I will respect them once I feel I want to, and I have taught my kids the same thing. I have to earn their respect, I cannot just expect it.

reply

this, same goes to attention and trust.

But I’m Asian. The cultural norm here stipulates that I must treat my elders sincerely, out of respect. N tbh, I expect my students to regard me with deference, out of respect too. Haha

reply

Is this respect that you are giving and receiving or is it a certain type of behaviour that you are expected to abide by?

EXACTLY that I told to a judge once. He said something "you have to respect people in this room" and my answer was: "first they need to EARN my respect... and they didn't do anything about that but the opposite".

It was 1 min of silence in the room.

Judges are inclined to force you having respect for the others, that’s why it was 1 min of silence in the room.

I don't think respect can be forced.

I agree, but judges think they can.

Totally agree. It is fine that sometimes we change paths during our lifetime. If we think another path is good and maybe better, we should go for it. Circumstances change. What is not good is to not do it and be the rest of your life wondering how would have been and if it would have been better.
