I had experimented with the carnivore diet a couple of years ago to shed ~10kg of lockdowns excess weight. It went very well, but I've gone a bit astray, the sugar, you know... but now I'm getting serious again. I'm in my third day now. These three filet steaks are going to be my brunch today, in a couple of hours.

The only non-carnivore addition is my ginger starter, a fermented ginger beverage. I have a tiny bit every morning on an empty stomach. Alternatively, I mix it with lemon juice for a few days before drinking it with sparkling water and ice, as a limonade. It's very easy to make and an excellent source of healthy gut bacteria. I wholeheartedly recommend you give it a try as well.

My day was hectic and stressful.

One highlight was I met this lady from Kazakhstan today, and halfway into the call I said "your from Kazakhstan, that's the country with the third largest amount of bitcoin miners" she said, "wow Paul I'm very impressed". It was a nice touch to the day - oh and from conversation I can tell she is a bitcoiner as well.

The quintessential evil of the education system is that it does not reward creativity, originality, leadership abilities, personal growth, or even something as basic as argumentation skills. Instead, it rewards conformity, compliance and regurgitation skills, first and foremost, and alas, this is what society looks like.

Stacker News feature pitch:

“Dynamite”

Enables a user to “blow up” their feed order, promotes randomization of delivered content, diminishes the potentiality for echo chambers.

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 18 Jun

Neat!

That made me think of a less dramatic option: mystery post. When you click on the mystery post, it opens a random post from Stacker News history.

92 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 18 Jun

We have a github issue for that. It's the only other sort that I think makes sense.

42 sats \ 1 reply \ @SilkyNinja 18 Jun

to surface old, fantastic content

We probably don't want this to be exactly random. Meaning we don't want it surface sub-standard content, but we do want it surface content above a certain threshold of quality without regard for time.

I see this, and I also wonder if a hyper-dramatic, legitimately random kill switch could benefit users and the site. Maybe a singular random “dynamite” post (@Undisciplined) could be a good test.

I agree with the idea that maybe it shouldn't weight "sub-standard" the same. Easy fix: use zaprank as a probability weight.

This week I stumbled upon a very wholesome and non-intrusive app to help manage anxiety and life in general.

It's called Finch ¹, and it's basically a Tamagotchi ² for those who used to have one as a kid. However, on Finch, to take care of your "digital pet" you also have to take care of yourself.

There are no annoying ads and despite having a paid plan (to support the devs), they don't try to shove it on you, and said plan only offers cosmetic changes, all the important features are free to use.

I'm not one to usually use those things, but as I was kind of down lately, I think I might be more sensible to this stuff. XD

Anyways, I hope it can help anyone who might need it. ;)

Dune Quote of the Day

Any path that narrows future possibilities may become a lethal trap. Humans are not threading their way through a maze; they scan a vast horizon filled with unique opportunities. The narrowing viewpoint of the maze should appeal only to creatures with their noses buried in the sand.

Good morning Stackers, 👋🤠 I would like to share my quote of the day... "if you don't touch it, it's not yours" by DragonOroPlata from YT. On his channel you find a lot of valuable information regarding hard money, Geopolitics, investment, or other quite interesting topics for the awake people of this community! The first time I heard his phrase, it was something that stuck with me and it is something that I constantly remind myself of, I even reformulated the phrase and made my own adaptation to the Bitcoiner mode, which I try to develop in my life. Now I usually quote "If you don't touch it or keep it, it's not yours." Obviously touching refers to the millennial yellow (XAU) and saving is aimed at being the custodian of your private keys (BTC)... I hope my words help you in some way, dear reader.
Keep stacking and stay in the Pagüer 💪🤠⚡

Last night I read about someone being robbed at home of their bitcoin recently and now things like this seem a bit silly.

20 sats \ 3 replies \ @TNStacker 18 Jun

How many have you read about being robbed by exchanges?

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @_stacktoshi 18 Jun

Quite a few, but at least in that scenario you don't have to worry about losing your own life or those of loved ones. The cartoon shows a loved one being handed over to an exchange, which is nearly the polar opposite of what you're actually risking there. I'm all for self-custody, but to not recognize the tradeoffs is asinine.

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @TNStacker 19 Jun

Home invasion robbery happens every day in the U.S. The fact that one was robbed at home for bitcoin is not a function of self-custody. It is a function of other security failures. Hell, your more likely to be robbed at home by someone who got your information through KYC information loss through an exchange getting hacked.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @_stacktoshi 20 Jun

Fair point, but most people don't store their lifesavings at home though. So self-custody increases the harm of home invasion. Draconian KYC laws are a separate issue. You can still have someone custody something for you without them knowing all of your personal info. Many non-KYC custodians might be more secure than having all of your eggs in one basket, so-to-speak.

Bitcoin moves investments out of the purely financial realm back into a preference for the public good and a willingness to sacrifice, with returns often being tokens of gratitude, special privileges, increased social standing, hopes of indirect business advantage, or promises of treasure in the afterlife, rather than direct returns of capital, or even profits.

When hodling Bitcoin is probably the best or let's say, the safest option, you really think twice or more before doing anything with it ( aka spend ), which means it has to be something really worthwhile, then the interesting Q would be what ppl would do with their Bitcoin:)

And it's the total opposite in the fiat world, you are the loser if you don't do anything with your money.

How interesting!

Irony of the day:

A beggar approached him in the street and said:

Help me, for God's sake, I have seven children!
You may not have had them,- he replied sullenly.
I would have liked to see you in my situation, - replied the beggar, adding, - and what else can we who are poor do but make children... for the rich?
You are right, - he replied, - and for your philosophical thought, take this, - and he gave him a penny, which the good man went immediately to spend at the nearest tavern.

Contract law

The “court” requires your consent to enter into contract with you, so the proceeding can go forth, as this is a “court of commerce” or “business”.

However, within contract law everything must be disclosed, including any payments or commissions from the court to any 3rd party within the court, or vice versa.

Any hidden 3rd party payments or “secret commissions” would be an “illegal contract”, and as this was conducted within a courtroom with witnesses, the people involved would be committing a crime, as the act would be unlawful.

Seems that interviewers like to ask about horoscopes and zodiac signs and spirit animals in my country nowadays:

What’s your spirit animal?

Since I was born in the Year of the Monkey, I relate to monkeys as my spirit animal. Like the monkey, I am agile and enthusiastic as I often manage several projects enthusiastically, finding creative solutions and having fun at the same time. One Vice-principal even commented that my enthusiasm is infectious. Also, I can pull off a rather convincing portrayal of the Monkey God (Sun Wukong) during Chinese New Year!
