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!
Why is anyone in the world at all ever in any way publishing something as a pdf?
PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It’s supposed to be the USB for documents.
i sometimes wonder the same thing, but then i remember that before the PDF people would send each other microsoft word documents
Oh lord.
I just...html is so good. Or markdown. Just make something that changes to fit my screen please!
Your PDF reader can’t make the document fit your screen?
Sure it fits the screen, but in the most laughable way ever: pdf readers just shrink the whole document page until it fits.
If everyone is reading electronically, why are we even bothering with a static page size?
The built-in PDF reader in my browser (Brave) has two options: fit whole document, or fit width to screen:
but in neither case does it change the number of words per line. This is my problem.
Ahh, ok
It's especially hard to read pdf on mobile
yeh, it makes sense that everything should be web-native. markdown has my support as the default document format. but it's probably not powerful enough for the corporate-types who like to have fancy looking reports
I will convert it all to web native formats.

Strike is in trouble?

these two things conflict though. if you can't deposit, they have no inbound. if they were robbed, they'd have no outbound.
Maybe is just bad liquidity management or more users are taking out their sats from Strike.
we should have a minecraft server with zaps*

Can’t sleep any more

LOL was pee for me. It’s 2025 and I’m still having to pee 6 to 8 times a day! I thought by now big pharma would have designed a pill to stop this madness
That’s a lot. How about drinking less water instead of taking pills? If your pee comes out clear like water, it means you’re hydrated and don’t need to drink more.
True but gotta stay hydrated!!
Do you take any trace minerals or salt with your water? If your water is purified it might not be hydrating you. I use this:
Sometimes I do but not as often as I should
Yeah, everyone's gotta know how much water they need. Me, for example, half a liter of water a day is more than enough for a normal day.

In Turkey, right?
many places with call to prayer at 5am
How long's the call?
Yet another distinctive day!
The girl whom I had trouble collecting homework from wrote me a book. Okay, strictly speaking, she ran out of steam by the fourth page, but Sensei won’t begrudge her efforts, considering her lackluster attitude towards homework. Suffice it to say that no one has ever been moved to write for enjoyment due to my presence before. She will be a memorable first!
Wrote English phrases and their Chinese equivalents for another student who is offering Higher Mother Tongue (Chinese) to lowkey flex my bilingualism. Actually, in an ideal world, I would have set up my own bespoke tuition agency that specialises in teaching composition writing for English and Chinese. Maybe I could build up my teaching resources through her.
Teaching. Every day is an adventure.
Thank you for sharing your anecdotes about being a teacher; teaching is a wonderful world that constantly challenges you.
Is it normal to reject help from others?
I was getting into a shop yesterday with a friend, and it seemed some tourists were having trouble with the payment. My friend wanted to help, but the person pretended he understood the problem with his card and then left. I also wanted to help, but I didn't like his attitude, so I didn't say anything at the end.
I know city people usually put up their guard to protect themselves, but maybe they miss out on a lot if they're totally closed off to kindness.
For example, I recently met someone on the airplane, and the person who sat next to me invited me for coffee after some talk. I was a bit hesitant at first, but then I kept asking him different questions to get a sense of this person. It turned out really interesting! since he is from a place I have zero idea about. We went to dinner at the end, and he helped me so much while I was there. It's a wonderful feeling to meet a new friend in a completely new place.
I'm aware of the dangers out there, but it's quite sad if everyone is putting up walls to each other.
I would say No. Being from Texas most people help each other, and also going to church you see a ton of kindness, but traveling to new places I usually use my intuitiveness to suss people out, sounds like you did the same.
Destiny will always guide you; we must always see its signs and try to understand the world 🌎.
it's an ordered universe where each being has a specific place and function
deep 👀
Sometimes I feel like some people are there to guide or help you if you're open to experience. It's not the first time I've met someone in a new place who helped so much.
I don’t know if it’s normal, but I know people like that. I guess it could be for all kinds of reasons, we shouldn’t judge! I had a one-legged teacher who used crutches, and every now and then he’d fall, but he always refused any help.
Did you watch the videos showing someone calling many Churches and Mosques for help with her 2-month-old hungry baby?
no
look up Nikalie Monroe
But why need to act like a cold fish? Someone else was only trying to help and be kind. I guess most people are just used to being alone and to being told you are on your own, solve your own problem!
But in the culture where I'm used to, you offer a helping hand whenever you can, and you would be helped when you need.
Yeah, the reaction makes all the difference.
city people are ghosts
It's sad, most of them are doing something they hate, pretending to live the life, yet most are so lonely and disconnected from others.
