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!
gooooood moooorning :) Where is the new saloon for today? :)
Feels are weird. A few days ago I had no idea if we would ever drop below 100 sats/vB again, yet now we have fees as low as 50 sats/vB on some transactions. Wacky. I need to just stop trying to predict onchain activity
I've learned that it'll always go down eventually. However, it'll probably rise to a higher low when a significant increase in adoption happens, and these ordinals things are simply temporary usage pumps, not a significant increase in adoption.
I ate too much but the Packers won!!!!! Love me some Bitcoin!!
Happy Thanksgiving Stackers!

Please don't put @k00b into the oven. We still need him.

I bet you someone prominent in the list is going to lose their cowboy hat today...
Any guesses who?

Hello there!!! Little Friday is here and you know what that means, the weekend is about to begin. What a beautiful day indeed, time to step it up and give it our best today and always. I wish you a spectacular Thursday, may it be filled with success and profit my friend. Remember that you're awesome and you're important. Who you are and what you do matters and it's cherished so thank you for being. As always, be well and stay frosty my good friend!!
Did @davidw's masterpiece on Uruguay break SN? I've been getting multiple hangs this morning, very rare at any other time.
mhh, did not experience anything different so far 🤔
👀 Oh dear. Hanging as in other pages don't load?
Yeah, it does the progress bar on the top, and it crawls, and then just stops. But then if I reload the page it usually sorts itself out.
If this happens again and it’s not a ton of trouble, open up the browser console and see if there’s anything weird in there.
We had someone report a bug recently that identifies itself as a bug in react so now I’m kind of anxious we’re doing something that triggers this bug nondeterministically.
You got it, chef!
How's your internet? This kind of progress bar to nowhere behavior usually happens when my internet is spotty
It's good -- at least, to an informal assessment it's good. Not noticing other issues. And not noticing it atm, so maybe it was some mysterious weird thing.
When a @davidw article comes out it's like Taylor Swift tickets going on sale, so I can understand why my mind went where it did.
Seems like the right thing to do is detect internet issues and report them with a retry message.
I'll open an issue.
I've noticed this when running a VPN sometimes too. Sometimes restarting or switching location resolves it
A good short documentary:
view on www.youtube.comThe EVIL History of our Education System
programming is a crime mystery where you are the victim, the culprit and the detective
considered not posting this since it's a copy pasta and i have a reputation to lose (lol) but it's so true it hurts and i was just reminded about it looking at my code from a few months ago.
I grew to take writing good comments very seriously, and one time, after re-approaching code I had written a couple years earlier and forgotten everything about, I was so grateful for it, and resolved to always be maximally nice to my future self on this account, and then doubled down on the practice.
Some time later, I got a "fan letter" from a dev who had inherited a project that I had written. He talked about how much he enjoyed reading my comments. I then realized that in addition to helping your future self, commenting can be a literary form.
i used to write comments for everything like a true novice:
// do X x()then I realized (or read an article, idk) that comments should explain why you're doing something, not what you're doing. i think my comments got a lot better after that.
but now i struggle with telling what will stay obvious and what will become a mystery as time goes on, lol
Wow, that's so nice from him!
I hope my colleagues at my previous company like my test suite of the project I wrote from the ground up over the span of almost 3 years.
I think I tested the shit out of this code, lol. Every bug needed a corresponding test case such that it never happens again.
Tests can be annoying when you refactor something but I hope they can look at all my tests to help them understand what the code is even supposed to do.
Tests are also part of a good documentation imo.
Documentation that never gets out of date.
and regarding
that's a good way to look at it :) I try to write good PR descriptions now. It also helps myself with understanding what I did, haha
In general, good writing is an art in itself - but that's not a surprise :)
I think that's a pretty typical journey. Well, for those who arrive at the endpoint it's a typical journey. Many people never graduate from the 'do x' comment. One of my first bosses, the most talented guy I ever worked with, called this "commenting at the level of intent" which I always remembered.
Yup, you can write anything, no matter how boring, in a thoughtful, artful way. It's a superpower.

Howdy partner.
If I had to chose a character: I am the guy with the white beard standing at the bar.

I hope you won at least. Lol.
I am the cat
Cat? Looks like a dog to me. Lmao.
Maybe there is also a cat? :)
Happy thanksgiving to all Christian friends. ⛪
I will wait your congratulations for the ramadan later next year.🕌
Agreed many of us have much to be thankful for. I feel so blessed to live in America and try to give back whenever I can. Bitcoin helps even the playing field for the rest of the world!
note2self: I need to try fasting next ramadan.
It is good to have fasting. But there are many ways to celebrate ramadan as you know.One of them is to feed a poor person. I think it would be much nicer to celebrate in this way.
and do charity - I donated some of my clothes last Bayram:)

It's true. I got it after I had written it. We are also secular state in Turkey. But we celebrate all religious festives here as a Muslims.
In my opinion, every person has his/her own belief system in order to live such a complex life. I call it religion. Therefore, there can be a secular state, but not a secular man.
When we look at those who celebrate Thanksgiving, we see that the majority of them are Christians.
Again no problem, If I were in US I would also celebrate it. Just like we celebrate New Year's Eve here...

At Mom's with my son, sister and nephew. Pop is smoking the turkey and I will him him in some day drinking starting with Scotch in my coffee!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Look forward to seeing you slurring your words here in the saloon later. Happy thanksgiving to you and the fam!
Thanks friend.
Happy Thanksgiving. ''Coffee'' with the fam is always a good plan. Enjoy
Thanks! Hope you have a good one!
As a European... not so sure, but we'll try.
Happy Thanksgiving buddy. Enjoy the day with your family. Have another cup of 'coffee' on me. ;)
yes sir!
YEEEEEE HAWWWW ::pulls out revolver and shoots six rounds into the air wildly::
Just kidding, i'm not reckless with firearms nor do I need to do shit like that to make me feel 'free.'
There are quite a few cultures around the world that fire into the air to celebrate. The first new year I really remember was when I was around 9 years old and pops let me fire the 30-06 off a couple times.
We don't do that anymore, by the way. We buy colorful explosives like regular folks. 😁
🧨🎆
Pew Pew...
Pew Pew Pew...and another Pew, just to make extra sure I hit my target.
So, you're telling me, this is not you?

Absolutely not. That right there is a minimum of three felonies and I don't commit felonies.
Anymore....
I guess this is the new you. Lol.

For now I haven't had to split into multiple sets, but probably will have to do so around the 25 mark.
My routine is get to work, do the push-ups, and reward myself with a sausage & bacon baguette from Greggs lol
Sounds like you're having the best time ever.

This would be the sensible approach, but I have already committed publicly to my strategy and can't back out now. When the challenge is over, I'll mix it up like a sane person.

Don't get left behind. People who don't own any Bitcoin in the next 5 years will be screwed. Cracks are already showing in the global financial system. Now is the time to opt-out and opt-in to Bitcoin and embrace Satoshi's vision.

I came from the future, just to do another press conference and tell to the people just few words...
https://i.postimg.cc/JhnHzdRr/vader-buy-bitcoin.jpg
darch conference wen, gonna be real fun
Lol. I'm always hesitant to say Fuck. Oops, I just said Fuck. Lol.
Why do you censor yourself?
I do not understand people doing that. Is not fuck a word in english dictionary?
Fuck... it's true!
So fucking true!
I agree with you. I just don't want to offend anyone whenever I'm engaged in public conversations. People tend to get very offended these days. It would be nice to just let loose sometimes.
It's offending to think people will be offended, lol
Who get offended is THEIR problem not yours...
https://i.postimg.cc/BZHf61Tt/offensive-funny.jpg
That's true.
Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks up in treetops
Just look to see the sights

Is really nice and enjoyable to have a vegetables garden somewhere.
Not just because you have your own healthy food but also to stay outside in the nature, with the plants.
Is not about saving money for not buying vegetables / fruits from the market.
But there's proof of work doing your own garden.
I did it many years for myself, I left big city exactly to have this opportunity to have my own garden.
https://i.postimg.cc/X7X0L50w/garden-2015-015.jpg
You will always learn something new because you have to adapt to the plants, to the weather, to the soil and all of these are changing ALL THE TIME.
You will experiment a lot and there's a lot of fun too.
I really enjoyed doing these "organized" plots, was like a game.
https://i.postimg.cc/6qmggHNC/garden-2015-013.jpg
Then taking care of the plants is also an important thing, each one will have its own way to grow and you will learn by testing, failures, experimenting etc.
I really recommend to all stackers to try it.
Once I will finish my citadel 1st house I will start working on my land, with a beautiful garden.
Never been more motivated to purchase land. Must stack corn as well as grow it.
I want to have my own space to do different experiments and think, living in cities feels like being caged and too "noisy" - I need to stack more skills to be more free.
I feel like I have been living my entire life the artificial way 🤯

indeed, better late than never!
@Natalia and @DarthCoin living their best lives. I'm jealous!
not yet, I'm only getting my first taste!
Still, you have a very adventurous life. I admire when people follow such an amazing path in life. Keep that flame burning for as long as possible because that's true freedom, following your bliss.
You are the captain of your own ship, and remember that nothing stops you from living your own life, but yourself.
Sage advice.
Me too. I had a vegetable garden for many years. We still keep a small one. My family were Italian immigrants who settled in Brooklyn, NY, which was a city. Both of my grandfathers had small patches of land behind their houses. They used every inch to grow all kinds of vegetables. One even had a grape arbour. They would also keep goats! All this in the middle of a city
This was the norm when I was a child... love to garden in the backyard, almost any house have one, maybe I was very luck to born far from big cities.
You learn a lot, patient, nurture, planing, accounting, a lot of skills.
kinda funny right, people used to move into cities for better jobs, now people moving back to remote places to live an off-grid life 😳
There is always a trade off... I get tech and internet 8 years after people in big cities, but now it's more easy to move almost off-grid in some countries.
yes, and Internet and Bitcoin is a game changer ⚡️

Howdy partner. __@_'-' just arrived.
Thanksgiving in the U.S., so things might be slow this morning.
Happy Thanksgiving buddy. Enjoy the day.
Thanks. You too if you celebrate. We're laying low today. Tomorrow the family will be here for the big meal.
Thank you buddy. I don't personally celebrate the holiday but I'm still grateful for many reasons. One of those reasons: being part of such an amazing community of like minded people.

Wow! One man's change of plans created a mess. Although who knows what mischief he could have stirred over here. On another topic, it's amazing how quickly cultures change based on geography. My family lost its genuine Italian culture. It was replaced by a distinct Italian American culture that is unrecognizable to "real" Italians in Italy.
