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!
Till the morning comes, it'll do you fine.

Just woke up from a nightmare.
I was caught outside late during the night and then a slenderman stalked me. He got closer and closer and I knew he wanted miy bitcoins.
To survive, I tried to touch him first. Or did I throw an axe at him?
I don't know, when I touched him weird stuff happened. As if time started to flow backwards ...
Dreams are weird, the feelings you have during a dream feel so real.

lol, no time to think
And how should I have called you? Ping you in the saloon that I am about to get murdered? lol
Maybe @nemo's warning yesterday did indeed hit home. Now I am getting followed by slendermen in my dreams, lol
And maybe I should have made use of my meme. Should have told him I spent all my sats on SN, lol
I need to get back to listening to guy swann again.
reply
Me too. There's something about that theme song that gets me going. Most podcast theme songs make me want to turn it off. I like the concept too. He finds interesting articles. Off the beaten path.

I think that when he built that AI computer for his experiments, he put himself inside and now he can't get out anymore 😂😂😂

There are two types of comedians: one that blames the audience when they don't get a laugh and another that blames themselves. Which type do you think gets better faster?

Does this Saloon have the Oregon game on?
reply
You’re referring to the football game? If so: yes!
Some day! I'd love to get a text based oregon trail or something in here.
Or a card game

Big fan of the Oregon trail

Who here is using Cursor.io code editor as their daily driver?
Very high productivity improvements my end, never going back

Good thread on it here

Did you link to the right website?
@k00b @ekzyis does it make sense to update the donate-to-rewards action to be invoiceable? That thought came to mind as I was working on this PR. If so, I can work on that (in a separate PR).
reply
100% yes

Today is my mother's b-day... 71 for this great lady whos has gone through A LOT in this world but never lost her charm and beautiful smile. I'm blessed for having her, my family and friends... just wanted to share that with you guys who are becoming my new cyber-fam

HBD mom!

Thank you!

happy birthday to her!

Thank you!

The safe strategy is to overestimate people because you're conflicted to believe otherwise. The most obvious tell for a weak ego is underestimating people by default. If you really want to fuck with the weak egoed, provide everything they need to underestimate you.
reply
I swear, I have to read your thoughtful comments over and over to fully digest them.
reply
I'm sorry lol.
Also I wasn't very good at commenting until I was forced to do it a lot on here. If it's something you'd like to try on, I'd casually recommend just starting. Main downside is that writing is time consuming but it does feel less time consuming as you do it more.
I've grown to appreciate writing as a form of async inter-process communication between me and other people ... you can upgrade from a monolith to a micro-service connected to a bunch of other amazing micro-services.
(h/t @plebpoet reframing networking as "interfacing" for me)
Maybe in tech. Try to run a low skill labour driven business for 15 years. If your default isn't expect bare minimum and hope to be pleasantly surprised you will be on the fast track to an early grave.
We can get into a debate about nature v.s nurture, educational opportunities, systemic poverty and all the other factors that may contribute but the chasm between the highly educated/highly productive and the barely employable has never been greater. For me, the overarching theme is decision making. People who end up successful tend to make good decisions or at least learn from the bad ones they make, while people who struggle all their lives tend to do the same dumb shit over and over in all facets of their life (work, home, health wise, financially).
I can't tell you how many times I hired people for jobs and they just never showed up or showed up for a couple days and never returned, without even the courtesy of a phone call. I can't tell you how many times I woke up to a phone call at 2 or 3am in the morning and had to rush somewhere because someone didn't show up, or did show up did half of what they were supposed to do or screwed something up I had to fix.
Not trying to drag down your optimistic outlook. Just sharing my experience.
reply
I can see this being true. We don't disagree. I'm not saying you should invest in randos using this logic. I'm mostly trying to dissuade people from shorting randos who are operating independently.
If someone has something to gain from your estimate of them, you should probably tend toward withholding judgement with a heavy pinch of discounting them.
Newsletter and code review. Go.

ᕦ(ò_óˇ) Day 8 of exercising everyday before the saloon opens
Went for a 14km walk today again. I got up at 9AM but the train took a while so I was at the beginning of my walk at 11AM. The saloon opens at 12PM for me so seems like I am testing the boundaries of the streak definition: "exercising before the saloon opens".
I'll have to get up earlier. It's also getting quite late when I get back home. My original idea with the streak was to always be back when the saloon opens!
I mentioned here that I would try to find my way using the sun. That worked quite well! I only got slightly confused when I have seen a highway sign for my destination which pointed in the opposite direction. But I realized I am not a car and thus it's not meant for me.
No pictures today in the name of privacy - also there wasn't anything particular interesting except a bigger hill I thought about capturing for @DarthCoin because of his comment yesterday.
Tomorrow I'll go shooting at 10AM. Have to think if that counts as exercise. Maybe I'll just walk there, too. It's 6km and up a hill - actually, that's quite a big hill, so maybe it's actually not that flat around here? ;)
reply
Crushing it! Keep getting after it!! 💪💪
reply
Great job. That’s a great distance! Keep it up (and 6km uphill counts!)
reply
50 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 23 Sep 2023
Just the last kilometer is up a hill. I am just afraid I am starting to make excuses again, lol
I'll just also walk or run back, then I shouldn't feel bad.
I don‘t think we should separate things between personal and work, public and private is better.
reply
are you working on a new "hit piece" meta post on SN? 😂😂
reply
no, not yet; I'm writing my yearly reflections 🫣 and most of them are public haha.
reply
hmmm personal = private work = public
When you go to work, you wear clothes/hat for that work, right? When you come home, you leave that "hat" at the entrance and you change your clothes with something else, right?
Just think about that.
reply
I think it would depend on the work, what if some people's work is based on their personal life experience?
Back in Miami. had a nice sleep in my bed, woke up without needing an alarm as opposed to the whole week at the conference. What did I miss?
reply
It all kicked off big time, punches were thrown, someone was on fire and an earthquake hit. Not much compared to normal!

Stacking them snail sats. Why the snail have veins popping out its neck? Must be working hard to get them sweet sn sats.

Yes, he had a tough night today [-0.1%] so he's going hard towards the target ;)

Slept late again. Maybe I'm simply no longer an early riser.
reply
Lol. Don't worry. You're earlier then most. I'm more than an hour late.
reply
Now I have to handle all my morning work in between posts. Maybe I'm better off moving to a time zone more Stacker Saloon appropriate
Siggy... I found the perfect crystal ball for your wife. If I would find it to buy it online I will gladly send it to you. https://streamable.com/17ji7s

@k00b - another proposal. Take it or leave it. Just my 2 sats.
I suggest that all comments in the Saloon will not be counted for each stacker into the main daily reward piece of pizza that will receive. We are 90% shitposting, not real thing. Yes sometimes are good posts in the Saloon, those maybe we can select them as "best comment of the day or something".

I think you are trying to say that comments in the saloon are zapped too much by people, right?
You've proposed a solution, but without describing the problem you're trying to solve enough imo
reply
No is not about zaps. Anyways forget it, people don't like that idea and I am not so convinced myself now.
reply
Agreed.
