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 reading Mastering the Lightning Network these days. And I have read some papers on arxiv.org about LN. Hope one day I will run a LN node myself!

You don’t control the output. You only control the input. Just do your best. And, perhaps, pray that it’s enough.

Got my students to form sentences using 7 subordinating conjunctions:
  1. John was a bad boy because he vandalised school property.
  2. As John was a bad boy, he got caned by the discipline master.
  3. Since he got caned by the discipline master, he regretted misbehaving.
  4. When I did not submit the homework, my teacher shouted at me, "Where is your homework?"
  5. While I was out with my family, robbers broke into my house.
  6. I wanted to visit Japan, however, my family wanted to go somewhere else.
  7. Although my family wanted me to follow them, I refused.
  8. My mother scolded me because I came home late.
  9. As I played soccer at the field for a long time, I went home late.
  10. Since I did not join the soccer team, the team is not performing well.
  11. When I went to school, my friend cried because he lost his phone.
  12. While my family was watching a movie, I was playing games.
  13. I love this girl, however, she rejected me.
  14. Although I ate my breakfast, I was still hungry.
Took me one entire hour, but am feeling a sense of accomplishment!

Keeping your eyes focused on something but diverting your attention to something else in your view is an interesting experience. It feels like I am activating the same brain circuits that control my eyes to control my attention instead.
Is that also how you would describe it?
reply
Yep. It's probably two functions that are so highly correlated that they activate similar feelings.

I also played a little bit with my visual field. Seeing my finger go out of it and not being able to describe how where my finger goes looks like is similar intriguing.
I feel like there’s some poetry in there for @plebpoet about the observable universe and how limited our interfaces to experience it are.

100 pushups a day until $100k has officially defeated me. After the first few months, I tweaked my wrist. No big deal, I just switched to knuckle pushups. Well, after a few months of those, my wrist seems to be sprained.
No retreat. No surrender. My new goal is 100k steps per week until $100k.
reply
@birdeye21 you still out there?
He just kinda seems like the type who would have made some suggestion of a farewell or at least pop in here and there. He really went from near spam (averaged 10.5 interactions with SN/day) to entirely off the map 5 months ago. he did refer to being missing for 3 weeks as a much needed hiatus but that he would be back.. continued posting normally for two weeks then poof, gone.
Just hope he's doing well is all!

Now I get what you mean! I quite like it, especially when I saw two of my posts haha I wonder if Random will definitely let your old posts show up
reply
nah.... you're wrong about that
reply
pretty sure gray just called you a swamp creature
reply
Only if it's the swamp of creativity.
Maybe I will get used to random. I was just surprised when I saw old bios, people's posts from 2022 and old sports post I made about a pool and my takeaway was "wow this is in fact really random".
reply
Next release will remove bios at least.

To each their own. Some of us like to swim in the the murky waters of chaos.
reply
isn't randomness the 'murky waters of chaos'? I'm lost a little. And you were surprised by the random because you found that it was indeed random?
reply
Like many things in life there are degrees of randomness and yes I was surprised at how random random was. Which means it is probably achieving the intended goal but maybe isn't a great UX.
reply
I think it's great, so maybe it doesn't mean that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
reply
That's good. To each their own. The stackers shall decide what they make of it.

How do you mean? We can make the bar higher.

Good morning partners!! It's Wednesday and what a week indeed, it has been a slow one but extremely busy, hope your weekly strategies are set and the ones that weren't tweaked for a better result. It's a sunny day here in Playa del Carmen and the air is nice and cool, perfect for a dip in the pool or a dip in the ocean but alas, got work to do, the weekend will have to be my water day, in the meantime let's enjoy the day and give it our best, you're important and you matter my friend never forget that. May your day be phenomenal and full of productivity, success and most of all love. As always, be well and stay frosty!

mining organizes nature's abundant energy into bits. energy is not being "consumed" - it's being transformed into an encrypted wall of energy, which maintains the order. order is better than chaos.

Day 55 of collecting taxes from stackers.
Collected so far: amount of sats redacted.

Society

The general description of a “society” is a group of people living together in an ordered community or commune.
The official narrative regarding a society often includes the following:
  • Shared Language.
  • Customs and Traditions.
  • Religion.
  • Arts and Literature.
  • Families.
But this is culture, not a “society”.
However the definition of a society is more accurately applied to an organisation or club formed for a particular purpose or activity.
Within this organisation there is a hierarchical management structure, usually comprising of a board of directors or committee, controlling the members.
And when were break down a society further, we see the trap, as it includes the following:
  • Forms of government.
  • Economic systems.
  • Businesses.
  • Regulatory system.
  • A class or cast system.
Note: A society operates as a business using maritime law, requiring a membership for the rules of said society to apply to you.
Within this controlled class system, the family is considered the “basic unit” of society, which in turn forms communities, with many communities making a nation, which in turn is under the jurisdiction of a country controlled by the owners of said country.
Being part of a society obligates you to the social order or “new world order”, with the loss of your freedom.
reply
being a normie offline -> physically safe, and you feel a sense of freedom this way too, I guess because people only get to see what you choose to show, which is the definition of privacy.
and no privacy, no freedom 👀

I guess the better way to put it is be a nobody when everyone is trying to be somebody:)
