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!

TheRamblingThoughts: Saloon Ramble #1

Didn't make much progress on NRC (Nostr Run Club) today.

We were short staffed at work, so I had my hands full with the clients.

One of them kept trying to steal frozen hotdogs from the fridge
Another one blew a gasket because we wouldn't give him a soda
Had to write a bunch of notes and have hourly checkups with the other

Hear snow is hitting hard at midnight, I'll probably be walking home from the car when it kicks into gear.

Pretty good day tho.

Productive day at work, listened to some good music, wrote a bit on SN and Nostr.

There was a lot of buzz about cowboy credits today, seems like its a controversial topic, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out, but i'm overall bullish on Koob and Ek making great moves.

Got spanked in chess pretty hard today.

Tomorrow should be a pretty hectic day.

Need to start running again, but snow on the ground is a detractor. Need to get the MVP of NRC out soon

Thanks, Hustle

HFSP is a double-entendre.

One interpretation is a sarcastic encouragement to continue burning one's money on shitcoins.

The other meaning is delayed gratification to excess. If growth for the sake of growth is the philosophy of cancer, what is saving for the sake of saving?

There's a sat earning opportunity when providing SN without outbound liquidity for zaps. We pay up to 3% of non-custodial zaps as routing fees - meaning node operators can probably earn 1-2% of non-custodial zaps to non-direct channel peers by being a great first outbound hop from our node.

It’s exactly about that because you’re not telling us who should get paid how much when you donate. That’s why it’s called a donation.

You pay me. Then I do whatever the fuck I want with that money since it’s mine now. At some point I pay someone else and I decide who that someone is and how much I give them. This is not money transmission.

You give me your money and tell me to give it to that person over there. I walk over there and hand them your money that was never mine. This is money transmission.

Interestingly, sometimes you see things or opportunities that locals don't see - I met a girl while visiting a museum today ( she works there ), and after a bit of conversation, I was like why don't you move to where you'd like? Then she said because she can't find a job there, I was thinking to myself, then I would create things there.

I feel that's one of the main reasons stopping most people from moving to where they'd like, other than the stupid visa things.

There are enough competing pharmaceutical companies that would be happy to sell you a cure to undercut their competitors and enrich their stock prices.

Just look at what happened with Hepatitis C. The pharmaceutical companies made tens of billions. This used to be the most feared complication of needle stick injuries in the hospital and we no longer worry about Hep C because it's been cured. It's plenty profitable.

Hep C has been cured? I had no idea.

when one cures meat, one prepares it for preservation by drying, salting, etc.

in the case of common inflammatory diseases, the commercially available lab-made drugs are curing the body by suppressing the inflammation, so that the body's natural immunity ignores the toxins and poisons. this is how people end up dependent on the pharmaceuticals - as soon as the "curing substance" is withdrawn, the body starts rotting and reacting again, because the poison is still there.

there shall be more toxins dumped into the ground, the food, the water, and the air, until people beg for a "cure as a service" by subscription. their bodies will be similar to the cured meat; this is a mummification of sorts, but of a living body.

Does dehydrating have similar benefits?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @zapsammy 6 Jan

i have not explored the benefits of the "dry fast" and the rationale behind it. i do think that before one attempts a dry fast, it is probably imperative to flush out as much toxicity as possible from the body thru sweat and urination; that is, drink high-quality water until the urine turns clear (and sweat is not salty maybe?), and stop taking in low-quality foods.

if you are asking specifically about drying food for preservation, i am really interested in dry-freezing foods that my friend is attempting to make with the freeze-dryer machine, which is supposed to produce food with a really long shelf-life and light-weight. a simpler product is something like biltong.

Yup, went from incredibly painful, unsuccessful and intolerable interferon treatments to a several week course of pills with pretty much zero side effects. The drug companies were able to get it priced it at the cost of administering and managing side effects of prior unsuccessful treatments, to the tune of ~$1+k/pill.

They were making $10B/year although the market is now shrinking. This all happened in the past ~15 years and was pretty amazing to watch. We pretty much don't think or care about Hep C anymore.

There is plenty of money to be made- problem is finding cures is hard. If you find a cure you can't just sit on it because some other company can do the same eventually and steal your moat and make billions.

And I will say it again: it doesn't matter if SN is using CCs and sats and why they took this decision. It matter if people will fucking learn once and for all how to use properly the LN.

Is SN move a mistake? Yes. And on top of that is cowardice. Nobody threaten them with anything but they took apriori this decision instead of having fucking balls and say NO. That is the most that bother me, not because people are pushed to use LN nodes (that btw is a good thing and some will learn more) or CCs.

The whole idea in this mess is that Bitcoin is DEFIANCE, but SN took a wrong turn.

I think it might be both! The jab contained all sorts of ~~strange~~ unique nano features that react well with radio frequency emanations. So, they might be altering the mode of peoples thoughts and giving them a pro-state bias. Thus, becoming more amiable to the propaganda we are constantly being bathed in.

bitcoin is the uncensorable distributed digital accounting system, which is blind to the ethics of man, and thus blindly recording both the stupid and the smart transactions or the evidence of both good and evil, for the entire world to see. what is to be done with such an accounting system is still up to the rational man to decide. what is certain is that ur actions on the timechain will be accounted for, so bitcoin wisely.
