Anathem does that thing that I dislike in any book at the start, narration with a bunch of names/words/people/events that haven’t been motivated at all. It’s like sitting at a bus stop with a stranger and having them tell you about their family reunion by listing off a bunch of names, chuckling at named jokes and events, describing the inside of their aunt’s kitchen for seemingly no reason, then their brother’s basement, more names, and named events. What of this is relevant? Spare me your warmup to the universe/story. Tell the story and describe the universe as it becomes relevant. Keep the warmup in your notes where they belong.
note: I know nothing of writing. This kind of thing just pisses me off so much I begin thinking I must know something

I went to the beach with my family earlier today. While we were walking, a lady pointed to my kids that there was a seal lying on the rock sunbathing. It took us a while to spot it, and would probably have completely missed it if the lady didn't point it out to us, because the seal was completely camouflaged. Interesting how animals develop natural camouflages to avoid predators. The genes that help survival gets passed on and the ones that don't help survival gets eaten. Evolution is indeed a very powerful force, especially over a long enough time period.
Can you spot the seal?
reply
Sure can, but I would have missed it if I didn't know it was there. Did it move at all while your family was looking at it?

It would move its head and tail slightly from time to time, but it was mostly lying there just chilling. Not afraid of the passerby at all (although everyone kept a reasonable distance).

Very cool

There's good lazy, where you're lazy to the benefit of everyone and it's like positive sum laziness. Then there's bad lazy, where you're lazy to the detriment of others. Bad laziness can be excusable but when it's pursued consciously, it's sleaziness and nothing depresses me more.

Just to recap, because I lost the train... those mining earnings are from the apollo and other types of hardware to mine, or are related to "mining" in a way to get sats from platforms like this one?

It’s from an Apollo and BitAxe

When you're posting in the outer territories, you don't always get the eyeballs you're hoping for. That's part of community building, though.

Is that what it is? But the subjects I post are kind of odd...art, bikes, movies.. Not everyone enjoys them.
reply
I think it's both. If it's content you like making, though, keep promoting it. Eventually, stackers will find it.
Are you cross posting to nostr? Sometimes there's an audience there that isn't on Stacker News yet.

Been thinking about selling my house lately! But it’s tough to let it go. It’s like i finally achieved the American dream!
reply
Could be a good decision timing-wise. If the market is still liquid. I've been trying to sell a decent car in Australia for a few weeks and have had literally 0 people interested. But in general, really depends on your life plans/situation. If you like to travel around and not be tied down to one specific place, go for it. If you have a wife+children and maybe a job or business that you run in the area, it's certainly a bit different...

Poets . . . make the connection between the concrete and the universal. When we make that connection, there’s suddenly a great leap of meaning, an understanding that it’s one world. The very word “metaphor,” which comes from two Greek words, means to “carry across.” A good metaphor carries us across, and we don’t even know how it’s occurred. . . . If we’re reading a poem too quickly, between two urgent meetings or other hurried spaces, we probably won’t get it, because we don’t have time to release ourselves. We need quiet, solitude, and open space to read poetry at greater depth. Then and only then do poems work their magic. -- Richard Rohr

Hospital Records

When you are “live born”, the statistics of your “live birth” are catalogued, using the birth notification form, creating a “manifest”, which in turn creates hospital records, which are then used to create a bond.
These “bonds” are sold to government entities or the Vatican by the hospital, as the child is now a “ward of the state”.
Note: Most if not all state hospitals operate as trusts, with the board of trustees of said hospital in full knowledge that “hospital bonds” are being created with every new birth.
The certificate of live birth is a “trust instrument”; with the modern day version being modelled on the American version that was applied to the children of “freed” black slaves after the 14th Amendment was passed by the Senate on June 8th, 1866, and ratified two years later, which granted the slaves “citizenship”.
Note: This birth certificate or “trust instrument” is legal tender, and the foundation for all legal tender used as money throughout the world.
There are four parts to the Birth Notification form as used by the UK Corporation, as follows:
  1. White Copy; is sent to the Registrar of Births.
  2. Yellow Copy; is sent to the director of public health and medicine.
  3. Green Copy; is sent to the National Perinatal Reporting System (NPRS), and the Healthcare pricing office (HPO).
  4. Pink Copy; stays with the hospital for their own records.
Note: Perinatal means relating to the time, usually a number of weeks, immediately before and after birth.

The state, being a legal fiction (person), can own only it's created legal fictions (all caps name). Men are equal. Human being is a person, a legal fiction.

Being married to a Japanese lady, I picked up this book to refresh my understanding of Chinese customs because ofc I romanticise Japanese culture like nobody’s business. The fact that this book is superbly easy to navigate, with colourful pictures on the left and large, simple explanations on the right, made me set aside time to dive into my heritage.
I have to confess that I remain woefully ignorant of my culture. For example, I never knew that red packets arose from an ancient custom involving parents tying 8 coins together with red string; I never knew that those large pieces of cloth displayed outside Chinese funerals are called blankets; and I actually didn’t know that couples eat pomelos during Mooncake Festival because they hope to bear a son. Oops. Culture quiz FAIL.
Okay, maybe I exaggerate because I do know the rationale behind the remaining 17 customs.
I’m surprised that the custom of Chinese hanging 福 (prosperity) upside down on their front door during Chinese New Year didn’t make it to the book. I would say that that is the quintessential Chinese custom!
I would be interested in a follow-up book that explores the extent to which the Chinese in different nations follow these 20 customs - and whether there are variations in the practices. I will also be interested to read a sequel that explains why different societies celebrate the same custom. Case in point: Okinawa people celebrate Qing Ming (Tomb Sweeping) Festival. #proudtobechinese
