That moment when you go to the park to ease back into exercising by starting with some rope jumps, you set a goal of 600 rope jumps since you think you can do 2 jumps per second and want to jump for 10 minutes and then you make your first 20 jumps and you're already out of breath, fighting against mosquitoes and you realize it was a stupid idea to jump on grass because it interferes with the rope too much but you say to yourself you want to do at least 100 then and then you reach 100 while contemplating all your life decisions but you didn't mess up your 100th jump so you continued jumping and when you messed up you also continued because you didn't want to stop on an uneven number and then you do 60 more jumps and almost die but feel smug anyway.

Maybe they are above the deposit limit but we don't expose that for privacy reasons

Ah yes that makes sense.

Sent less and it worked. Problem solved.
So if I zap people it's ok for them to go over the wallet limit but not with a deposit.
When I pay out pool winnings I like to deposit instead of zap to save the fees. But say we have a 200k sats prize for the football pool this year, my only options will be zap or to pay them to an external wallet correct?

I really don't like how people don't use link posts but simply copy the link content and then add the link at the bottom. It feels like they are gaming our attention.
I just clicked on a post where I immediately scrolled to the bottom because I wondered if the link would be there. And indeed, there it was.
Come on guys, you're better than this.

I prefer adding the link in the post so I can make a snarky comment along with the link. Why do you wish to take that joy from me?
reply
I haven't noticed much of that lately, freebie. It seems like we have lots of link posts. I do wish people would add some text to describe the linked content or offer a few thoughts about it, rather than just have the links.
reply
My problem is if they don't do that but hide in the feed that it's not their content but from a link by not using a link post.
At least they include the link at the bottom but it's still deceptive.
We have lots of link posts but we also have lots of link posts disguised as discussions.
reply
Oh, yeah, I have noticed that. My bad.

Day 196 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 868 sats on 30Jun2024! Running total: 118,104 sats!
Just asking because someone who I wanted to Orange Pill denied it because he didn't want to touch something that requires so much technical handling. He asked me if I had something simpler and easier to hold and spend, he would be willing to adopt it. He also said that fiat is very simple to use that's why it became popular as modern day currency.

The biggest hindrance in speedy Bitcoin adoption is the need of too much technical knowledge to use it?

Prefixes and Suffixes

The people behind the system will use the deception and trickery of words to pull you into a legal jurisdiction that they control.
This is done when naive people just assume the meaning behind the word, rather than understanding the origin of it, and therefore not spotting the true meaning.
You must learn to read. This means look for a change in syntax, a change in font or case, detect the difference between symbolic language and one you read, and find the origin behind words and their legal meaning.
One trick used to perpetrate this deception is by the use of prefixes and suffixes.

Affix

The word “affix” means to “attach” or “fasten”, and when applied to words it means “an addition” to an existing word in order to modify its meaning or create a new word.

Prefix

Pre means “former” or “before”, therefore prefix means an addition placed before another word in order to change its meaning.

Suffix

Suf comes from the Latin preposition sub, which is a word-forming element meaning, “under”, “beneath”, “behind”, “resulting from further division”.
Such as:
  • Submarine
  • Subject
  • Subdivision
  • Subframe
A suffix added at the end of a word forms a derivative called a morpheme, which usually changes the origin word to now describe an action, or carrying out the action of.
Morpheme meaning: a unit of a language that cannot be further divided.
There are 82 prefixes and suffixes within the English language, with over 170,000 words. Here are just a few examples.

Con

The prefix “con” means “with” or “joint” or “together”, although “con” comes from the Latin word contra meaning “against” or “opposite”.
This can be confusing so you would need to understand the word in context in order to correctly interpret the meaning.
Such as:
  • Confession – Con “against”, fess “to speak”, ion “action of”.
  • Constitution – Con “together”, stitut Latin for “set up, decided”, ion “process”.
  • Consent – Con “together”, sent “feel”.
  • Convey – Con “together”, vey “way” or to “transfer” or “pass on”.

Tbh, I think 0.5kg / week is still a lot.
Also, I realized in the past that tracking my weight distracted me from the more important thing: how I feel in my body. If you gain more muscle than you lose fat, you'll gain weight, which can be demotivating, even though it’s actually a better outcome. I don’t even know how much I weighed when I was at my peak bouldering performance.
I have also started exercising again, and while I will keep track of my weight, I don’t have specific weight goals. Instead, I have exercise goals like reaching my previous bouldering grade, running 10km again, or being able to do 10 pull-ups. I think my weight will decrease, but I'll be more happy when I can do even one good pull-up. I think I was never able to do that in my life, lol.
