Will Primal be providing any options for businesses to advertise their services/goods? I'd rather not look for customers using the same service as Jingle the Cat. Forgive me, Jingle. I want to find customers directly via Primal, but it is so hard to compete with the scammers and the bot accounts. I've been posting free lessons for almost a year, so it's not a problem of lack of content. If Primal has something cooking for genuine business owners, that might persuade me to try another year.

Nah, nothing clever like that! I love seeing how powders/liquids react in strong electric fields. I suppose the little flakes of powder get electrically charged, then fly to the other electrode, then get charged there, then fly back, over and over again. Both borax (.10H2O) and copper sulphate (.5H2O) have lots of water molecules inside, and I do wonder if the water molecules help create this effect.

Plasma propulsion with Macka B in the background. Needs a little shake to get started. At full vacuum, there aren't enough ions to push it round; nevertheless, a Nostrian student mentioned 'reactionless thrust' a few months ago, something that I used to be really interested in, so I plan to put an old electrostatic motor in a vacuum chamber to see if 'reactionless thrust' is still science fiction.

Oh, I see! I had no idea; that must be very frustrating. We both love using HiveTalk, and the1-link-1-click for entry on Vanilla made it really easy to get my students (regular Zoom users) to try something newer and better. Maybe increase the idle time to ten minutes? Or demand a micropayment for idling more than 5 mins? Sometimes (nay, often!) students come to class late, but I would pay a few sats to wait longer. I would happily pay a subscription to ensure my rooms weren't closed.

If any of your students are interested in buying my English courses, I would do a VERY big discount for Thai students paying in Bitcoin (say £2 per course!). Let me know!

I have just used Moonstr, and I am so impressed that I have decided to make this video review. If you have a website, and you want your Nostr video feed (or YouTube/Nostr testimonials) embedded on your site, you must try https://moonstr.com/ . This is how we drag everyone, kicking and screaming, onto Nostr. We need it on our websites.
I have boosted this post on aqstr because I feel in debt to Moonstr (my feed is FREE!), and because I know this is a cheap and effective way to help spread the news. Please help me spread the word, and please embed Nostr on your websites!

4) is unnecessary. Why use Preply as a middleman when Bitcoin and Nostr render intermediaries obsolete?

I speak two languages, and both of those with plenty of mistakes. Judging by your name, you will like this. I built it years ago. I shall return to these daft experiments one day.
