Latvia passed a legal requirement in 2023 stating that Russian citizens needed to pass a Latvian language proficiency test to attain or keep permanent residence permits.
I noticed in my history that all my zaps are only 90% of what was zapped to me. Where did the 10% go?
All my 21 sat zaps are 18.9 now @ek🤔
Does it go to the reward pool?
Eg the following image shows what was originally a 69 and 10 sat zap respectively

The amount that I want to visit Iceland just did a 10x. Looks like such a beautiful country.
My daughter just told me "No! You are not strong. You are heavy."
Better get back to the pushups.
My children speak truth to me too.
Same and we have some good wrestling matches!
I started them on jui jitsu classes and on w my boys choke me in painful ways. It's kinda painful.

My daughter already chokes me painfully when she's climbing on my back and that's without any jiu jitsu classes yet.
I'm over 2 weeks late on this month's investor update. I need to automate the boilerplate of it or this is going to keep happening.

Is Ellis island near the statue?
Our immigration slogan today should be Revis Island
Revis Island. He fell off a cliff completely from being that lock down corner to out of the league in like 1-2 seasons.
Tbf happens to a lot of great corners. Xavier Rhodes went from massive to retired in the space of a season.
Future HoFer Patrick Peterson aswell, dude was a stud, he's still been playing good football but prime P2 was a game changer.
Prime Revis was better than prime Peterson
From 2009-15, Revis was the best shutdown corner
This is not a football discussion. Notice that I brought up Revis island in the context of Ellis island and immigration.
USA needs a shutdown immigration policy. Close the border with Mexico. Deportation would be a pick 6. Blitzing is apprehension and incarceration.
Can't disagree with you there. I was just reminiscing over great CBs, and I forgot to bring up Sherman. We've been blessed with some great players to watch. But yeah I agree, prime revis might be, for my money, one of the best to ever play that position.
As a non US citizen I can't comment on US immigration policy.
Interesting, because you have lots of comments about USA gun policy
What’s the immigration policy in your country?
You watch American football and you don’t live in North America?
Interesting
Sherman used PED.
It is very close, but I didn't get a shot. Revis Island! Good memories. My buddy and I were talking about Freeman McNeil earlier.

When I was a kid my uncle and father piled the kids into an old station wagon to drive across this bridge the day it opened. There were flags and bunting everywhere. It was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time. The toll was 50 cents.

Be careful what you answer... godzilla might destroy the bridge :)

Yes, but I was on the bridge, looking at the water, when a big gust of wind blew the paper with my seeds written on it right out of my hand

On- and off-boarding are by far the biggest drawbacks of cruising. I don't think there's any reason it has to be as bad as it is.
Not too bad today. The whole thing took less than a half hour. The emergency procedures drill is time consuming, though.
Good. I think it's usually taken like 3 hours for us.

You forgot to put a nude picture, that's why they didn't send sats :)
I did put a nude picture... And that's why they didn't send sats. 🤢
Did you put a nude picture from yourself? Did they send you an invoice?
Honestly, Darth is a walking experiment in the things we want to try and experiment with but are just too scared. Impressively fearless
I did many experiments with Bitcoin in all these many years in Bitcoinlandia.
I like to play with people's mind when you show them the power of Bitcoin.
Especially with kids.
That image in the forest, was part of another experiment game I did with some kids.
Like a geolocation game, they had to find the treasure, loaded with sats.
80% of locations were found, but this one remain there, undiscovered. So I let it be, for years, I wonder when somebody really understand it.

Things are looking up, frens
@k00b please can you make all the "stackers in hiding" to show also "hidden" in all comments?
It doesn't make sense to show in "top stackers" as hidden. Why not hide them totally.
BTW I think that stats for "top valued stackers of the day/week" is flawed.
What does it means that "value"?
I can't believe a stacker with only 8 comments is more "valued" than DavidW or all those from position 11 to 16, when they have many more activity and sats flow than anybody else.
The stats displayed have no sense whatsoever:
This morning was this:
https://m.stacker.news/21245
And now is this:
https://m.stacker.news/21247
Most of the ranking weirdness you see is caused by the way the current day is added to the scores. If it's early in the day, it's not very competitive so on a relative basis some people are high value. As more people start gaining value it "normalizes" everyone's score for the day.
It's intended to mean that for the given time period, that person added the most value, which we define as zapping well and posting/commenting stuff that people zap. Value is the word we chose for rewardability.
I tried to understand that ranking, but it was just too confusing. I'm going to spare myself the headache and just ignore it. Haha.
It's a hard thing SN is trying to do: use money to provide signal about content. Problem is if you only use money, you get a bunch of ads. So SN also uses some amount if 'trust' or something (I think). There is definitely some weirdness in the SN zaprank, but I think it is trending in the right direction.

It was so much fun. Ireland takes their music very seriously but not seriously all at the same time 😜 and that's what makes it good craic!

Basketball is all fun and games til you sprain your ankle and then find out (as i did today) that there's a bone splinter and the reason your foot has a fracture is because a cyst in your bone made the bone thinner and more fragile.
Yikes!
I largely quite playing pick-up a few years ago, because the sprains and soft tissue injuries were really piling up.
Ouch! Take care!
Good morning stackers. Wish everyone is having a great weekend.
Day 49 of 100 push ups till $100k completed.
Due to being away from home, I won't be able to post my weekly hiking post this week. Hiking post will resume next weekend.
Yesterday's weather was very nice. We enjoyed our time driving along the Pacific coast. Hoping for similar weather today.
https://m.stacker.news/21196
Dang, you're up early.
Day 46 of pushups for me
Day 44 of squats
Day 34 of calf raises
(All counts are approximate)
Long drive today and we wanted to make it to Charles M Schulz Museum before closing, because my kids really want to see it. We left the hotel at 5.30am and drove almost 800km south to Santa Rosa.
Fortunately, weather today is super nice and I'm glad we chose to take 101 instead of I5. The views along hwy 101 are simply beautiful!
Good job on your reps btw.
How I Plan to Spend 10k Sats
I won Fun Fact Friday this week. It isn’t often in life that you get an unexpected windfall.
Actually, I received a 10k zap earlier this week. I withdrew and zapped as usual. Nothing really memorable happened.
To derive maximum utility from this 10k sats, I plan to use my 10k sats in the following ways. It’s counter-intuitive because I like being spontaneous & going with the flow. But the chance to create indelible memories trumped other considerations.
There you go. My plan to spend 10k sats!
Ah, so now I understand the reason for your question in #467790! Congrats! That sounds like a good (and much more detailed than I'd have come up with) plan for the sats.

Woo hoo. How are you feeling about the current price?
Back to where we were a couple of weeks ago. Still wouldn't be surprised about $100k before halving lol
Oooo. Still the most bullish bull in the bull pen then?
Apparently I am...! You guys were all waaaay too bearish in the betting thread.
I change my mind like a bipolar bear..
Weird how market psychology works like that.
Doesn't really matter TBH because timing the market is a fool's game, but it's fun to speculate.
It’s fun to joke about though…. Makes no difference in the long run.
moon soon..
Hmmm. Gonna take a little longer…
The morning routine is disrupted. The animals are aware of it.

Damn impressive off the top of your head. My brain is racing, worrying about things not to forget. I forget I'm going to be on a floating city with all the creature comforts.
There aren’t many things that rhyme with siggy (as we found before)
The problem is you will forget something simple and then have to pay $15 for a $1 dollar item…
I know. I also know I won't spring for it out of sheer stubbornness
And the fact they don’t take sats..

You won't believe this, but the first thing I did after seeing the riddle was zooming in on the sun!
how come I verify that 👀 haha
Impossible. You either have to trust me or not. But when I clicked on the image, I immediately noticed that there was something in the sun. I have also done overlays with the sun and the bitcoin logo before.

What do you use to do image overlays? A bitcoin logo on a sun for example, or better yet, a bitcoin logo on a full moon.
