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!
Thinking about streaming me playing Piano with no face shown and not much interaction with the chat, just me playing and and them listening.
But then I need a camera setup that looks down at my fingers and hook it up to zap.stream or something 🤔👀
Sounds like an interesting problem to solve though!

Is stacker news friendly to all types or is it off-putting to non techy non Bitcoin people?
My experience is that it's a pretty friendly place (I post a lot of weird shit), but there certainly is a cultural slant towards bitcoin which just means you get a little more interaction when you post about stuff broadly in the bitcoin sphere.
Everyone is welcome
except shitcoiners.
I have NO REMORSE for shitcoiners.

Happy Birthday, freak

thank you. :)
yes indeed. I know some people that are on many different networks at the same time and it seems as if that would be their full time job, all the time glued to their phones, and it is sad to see, in my opinion.

sharing for the fun of sharing has been disqualified to 3rd place
its a cut throat world
This is such an interesting question to me: do the sats you earn here decrease the sharing for the fun of it?
I think it's a function of how many sats you already have so individual sats mean less to you.
But there are indeed some thirsty stackers around here 🥵
my bad, for fun too 😂
Over the weekend my son and I did some 3d printing together. If any of you have printers, what are some things you've created?
curious - why not actually MAKE the things instead of printing them?
but then I don't know what you are printing...
Its a headphone holder that mounts under your desk and slides out of the way when not in use. Your question confuses me. What about taking plans, tweaking them. Setting up the tools. Buying materials and then running the machine. Seeing issues. Making further modifications... what about that isn't making?
I'm guessing you have never used a 3d printer. It isn't like a paper printer. Its a tool that requires a significant amount of work to set up and there is a lot of trial an error. Despite the hype, its not an easy button for manufacturing. Actually, the hype around 3d printing from years ago reminds me of the hype today about AI.
nice try fed
Here's the even funnier thing to me about people in the privacy movement and 3d printing. And I mean people that have never done it. From my perspective, learning to grow your own food is far more dangerous to the state, more of threat than 3d printers. When you know how to feed yourself and your community. When you build a strong community with food security... well why do you need the state. But I never hear people being coy about gardening lol. The vast majority of 3d printing people are making crap. Making stupid toys not useful tools. Especially in places like the US. But I get it. Its fun to play into the fearmongering the state and media pump out about how dangerous we all are. Those extremists!
Based on my experience with 3d printing and people that have never done it... there are a lot of misconceptions about it :) It is a powerful tool for freedom but there's a lot of hype about how dangerous it is for society.
I’ve printed a toilet handle, a doorstop, gun parts, and random accessories to the printer.
I’m looking to explore if 3d printing could significantly alter my consumption habits. If @DarthCoin can build a wilderness fortress in 2023, TheWildHustle should be able to have custom pleb designed 3d printed…
Furniture
Gardening tools
Kitchen plates/forks etc.
Random fixes (doorknobs etc.)
Home renovations (countertops etc.)
Shoes
Bikes
Weapons
Music (record player, guitar etc.)
In ten years. “Two weeks”
3d printing should further decrease the sovereign individuals reliance on 3rd party intermediaries, and having all of the prints above in your personal cloud server is pretty wild.
Right on!

Last call for 1750 sat bounty in my interactive serial story. Here's part 5 where the bounties are, but here's part 1 so you can start at the beginning if you're not already caught up.
It's a scifi story that brings together tech, engineering, economics, and TBD/you'll see.
One bounty is for anyone who can guess the riddle in the story. The other bounty is for the best idea of what an acronym in the story should stand for.
I'll be posting the next part in the series tomorrow morning, so bring those guesses and ideas!

Does the free market erode moral character ?
Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-free market, but I'd like to hear from stackers on this topic. Are you in favor of a completely free market, or should some sectors be more protected than others ? What are the limits of morality in free markets ?
deleted by author
What's your thoughts about the ~AGORA?
It's true that there's no such thing as a truly free market. However, there are some sectors where there's more freedom than others. The question goes deeper than that, though: does a free market erode moral character? Where do we draw the line?
For example, in the US healthcare sector, I've heard that they can refuse assistance to someone who doesn't have health insurance.
health care is private (you are part of the club) or public (=government). The best health you can get is the one you get from yourself and the community around you
My Chromebook seems fried. Who’s going to yell at me for using one or tell me what to buy next?

Good morning stackers.

Saw this funny sign when visiting Redwood National and State Parks yesterday. Quite a few big trees there indeed!
https://m.stacker.news/21401
Also, this is the "big tree". You can zoom in to see the people at the bottom for size comparison.
https://m.stacker.news/21402
Sequoia ?
I think so. They call it redwood, but I think it's just another name for sequoia.

This big fella has pretty impressive stats.

Interesting info. Thanks for sharing.
It's truly remarkable what this tree can grow into. No wonder it's one of the longest-living trees around.

I'm about to tear into an omelet. Even though I slept late I'm the only one awake for breakfast.
deleted by author
So I ordered the omelet special, which I was told was a vegetarian omelet. When it arrived the waiter said "Sir, enjoy your western omelet." I said "Excuse me, I ordered the omelet special." He said, "yes, this is the special." I said "I thought it was vegetarian?" He said, "Oh yes,we changed it." Now I like vegetarian omelets, but I'm not a vegetarian, so I ate the western omelet. Good ham.
deleted by author
I got the special. Keep it simple.
I can't believe I slept this late. Maybe the high seas cures insomnia.
Sailing is like being in a cradle. We slept like babies.
Yep. It helps knowing that spotty internet will prevent any serious work from getting accomplished.
Take some time to disconnect from the digital world. I usually do this on weekends and it really does me a lot of good. When we come back, we come back rejuvenated.
Seriously, these internet dropouts are helping me disconnect a little. I forgot what the world once was.

My latest fun: https://files.ekzyis.com/public/music/ 👀
The sound rings a bell, but I can't put my finger on it.
5k sats for who finds the song 👀
damn, I linked to the folder not the song but at least I mentioned the filename
I give up! But I'll try my luck with a classic one.
Frédéric Chopin - Noturnos ;)
I'll give it a few more listens to see if it triggers anything.
It was Mayday Parade - Terrible Things:
I would never have found it because I wasn't familiar with that song.
I initially wanted to say 10k or even more because I was pretty sure no one knows this song but then I got worried 👀
I even tried Shazam, but it thought it was Beethoven 😂
Which one should I read next?Which one should I read next?
https://m.stacker.news/21385
Dune, then Red Dragon, then The Talisman. I haven't read those specific Mailer, Vidal, and Lessing books, but they always tend to be worth reading.
TBH, I haven't read any of them. These are my brother's books who has just graduated and specialized in post colonial litrature. I also did M.A. in Eng. Lit. but I always remained side by side with antiques of literature.
NONE of those.
You better start reading more about Bitcoin because you lack of knowledge on that part.
https://i.postimg.cc/2yHJ6qDx/vader-thinking-start-now.jpg
I'm reading about Bitcoin as well. These, I mean literature was my first love, especially classical one. Sorry can't leave them.
Time is running out...
Those books you will have plenty of time to read, when you already have a good knowledge about Bitcoin and stack and you just retire...
but if you retire and get addict to stacker news
you will read no books ever
SN is temporary, for fun
That's nice. What you do is fun and if we want to read literature that is infused with some godly imagination, you stop us and suggest to go all in Bitcoin even for reading.
Great, SN isn't for fun for me. I am learning a lot here and I will take it with a mix of fun and seriousness.

Sure, I will double on my efforts for bitcoin knowledge but I need half an hour of dose of classics. Hope you won't mind it.

It does offer incredible hope and a chance for creative / artistic endeavours to be rewarded (or at least financed) relative to the time and talent invested.
Bitcoin offers safety and peace of mind, all people need is to eat and sleep well, and got all the time to focus on learning and creating!
and keeping up on the safety practices and opsec of being your own bank
