Picking up some sushi rolls. Tuna Salmon and eel

460 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 21 Dec 2023 freebie

Eel is great but I can never tell if it's the sweet ass sauce that I like or the eel itself.

One of my favorite roll discoveries recently is salmon skin. Super fatty and cheap.

I always find it interesting that Salmon was only relatively recently introduced to Japanese cuisine... definitely prefer salmon over tuna in sushi/sashimi.

I don't really trust any device with a camera or microphone that's connected to the internet. I would recommend your friends switching off their Wi-Fi not in use. Perhaps they can download an app that mutes the microphone when not in use.

kinda interesting to think about what happened - people used to build their own houses decorated with beautiful flowers and colors; Now everywhere is building the SAME communist buildings, and guess what is the most crazy part? People working their ass off so to live in those tiny and centralized control apartments.

Centralized control apartments? Haha I never thought about it in that way. There is simply too many humans. No space for everyone having a beautiful house with flowers and garden. Same way with cemeteries. Now there are vertical ugly cemeteries like skycrapers.

Centralized control heating, water and electricity 👀 food from supplychain too.

There is simply too many humans. No space for everyone having a beautiful house with flowers and garden.

I feel like many people are being put into the cities, mostly due to work, there are still many empty space close to mountains and barely anyone live there.

33 sats \ 3 replies \ @siggy47 20 Dec 2023

Agreed. Drive across the western U.S. states if you want to see wide open spaces. Same with giant swaths of Asia, Africa, Australia. Western Europe, I agree, is getting a bit crowded.

763 sats \ 2 replies \ @quark 20 Dec 2023

Ah yes. I was thinking about the space in the cities that we already have. Some cities have no other choice but to expand vertically. In places where there is space, we still don't see those apartment buildings.

But there are always exceptions. Like Whittier in Alaska, in the mountains... yet, the entire town is in one centralized building. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FqLhFoQWwAIE5bg.jpg:large

I just watched a little YouTube documentary on Whittier. I think now they have two apartment buildings, but the one you showed has most of the residents and all the stores. Alaska is a crazy place.

I think Freiburg BitDevs is going to beat Austin BitDevs with the number of participants that showed up on the first meeting :)

I asked around and I already have two people that will very likely show up and some that said they are interested from the existing local bitcoin meetup (which isn't technical) but I am not sure if they will indeed show up.

According to @benthecarman, three people showed up at the first meeting of Austin BitDevs. @benthecarman, was that including the organizer or without?

But to be fair, it's also almost 2024 (and the start of a bull run?). So makes sense that there are at least a few more people interested in bitcoin than 2-3 years ago (?) when Austin BitDevs started. :)

(yes, I just pretended that I live in Freiburg. Or at least in the vicinity close to Freiburg? Or at least in the same country? Or at least in the same timezone? Or at least in the same hemisphere? ... lol)

Starting to realize modern society for lack of a better term is a coincidence and I believe we have passed the point of no return and we will have to experience life how it used to be or worse before we can achieve something better again as a species. This probably wont help anyone. But low tech may be the future. Still probably wont help anyone saying this. But having a low tech hobby could be liberating. Maybe thats the thought for today. Get a low tech hobby and/or skill however big or small.

For example, can you forage firewood? Its not as simple as it sounds and you can save yourself some trial and error by researching with the means you have available TODAY. Spoiler: Fallen logs sitting on the ground are bad for firewood. It should be dead, free standing or leaning and essentially dried by the wind.

Can you forage plants? Do you know which ones in your area you can rely on in an emergency? Find out today. Spoiler: Dandelions may be safe to eat in an emergency.
