Last Notes npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Sometimes you can have the best luck with the worst luck. No amount of vagabond gear will outroll a dogpile. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I've heard it has connectivity problems. And the Avalon software is buggy. Is this true in your experience? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl In b4 1 quadrillion. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl UK and EU are nuts. Arresting and taxing their way to prosperity is certainly one option... npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Looking at you Todoist. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl The amount of companies that price their apps at $100/year when they're worth like $10 at most is nuts. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Finally got the chance to try out my Brialetti. Unsurprisingly, it makes good coffee. It's not espresso quality but it is consistent and flavorful. 👍 ☕ npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Seems legit. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Georgeous. 😮 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl That is both ghoulish and funny. Still glad I didn't join up. Not that I was in any real danger of that. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Okay..... npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl No love lost. They can stick to their own economically depressed dystopias and I'll stick to mine. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It's come a crazy long way. I still miss that Golden Age. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I bookmarked this. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I would suggest specializing in one type of news. My impression is FLASH reads like a mixed/general social media feed. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl They don't do anything tho npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Privacy.com saved me again. I created a Brilliant account to see what all the ad reads were about and used a Privacy virtual debit card to access the premium mode under a free trial. Eventually, I decided to close my account within the free trial window and disabled my Privacy card. Later, I found out they tried to charge me $129.50 anyway after I cancelled and closed my Brilliant account, but Privacy didn’t let the transaction go through. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl GM. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Wow nice! npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Very interesting to see if anything useful comes from any of this. Or if the ability to sling more code even faster just results in more broken, unfinished, abandoned apps. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I am interested in this as well. I've literally watched the audible app peak and degrade since 2017. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl https://blossom.primal.net/db500ac1e4c63ade789cc9fd87f49e3906029bc3a3fbd1b0b186a8689c32c87d.jpg npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl https://blossom.primal.net/1fc79ce25896ceb8eb4a29ef7e8d2b4efa572e80c68e26ee3b879580bc774e7b.jpg npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl In the nostr/bitcoin community I feel like I'm always watchibg the latest dev breakthrough get downgraded from "we've obsoleted humans" --->"this changes everything" --->"this is another tool in the developer toolbox" npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 5: Misc photography npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 4: Big Brutus npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 3: Cars on the Route npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 2: Grand Falls npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Had quite the day trip in Missouri and Kansas last Friday. Got to see the Carver National Monument, Grand Falls, Cars on the Route, the Galena museum (briefly. I'll have to return), and Big Brutus. If you're in the Joplin, Missouri area, it makes for a great day trip. You can easily hit four or five places in a single day, easy. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl The flight out of Fresno into Denver is by far the most scenic flight I've ever had a window seat for. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl https://blossom.primal.net/68b8ed8badfffd398ef0223ad50c497ad792552b75d2c4e9630c8ce5c15af2df.jpg npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Skin in the game. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It’s like a competition with these guys to see who can make the wildest prediction on the most implausible timeline. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl We're all gonna be brains in jars in six months. Trust me, bro. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Like a slice of an international airport. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl They don't have to understand Bitcoin because the Bitcoin is just collateral. And they aren't taking any risk. The only risk is on the side of the borrower. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Was everyone in the world already on a Bitcoin standard and I didn't notice? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Exactly. Bitcoin backed loans are a tool to be used responsibly. The people slandering Strike over this aren't offering practical solutions to real problems that real people face, only talk. And talk is cheap. They're purists for a world that doesn't exist and they aren't building anyway. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Even without passmail addresses it's pretty good about identifying and sorting out the spam from the stuff I want to see. Even from the same company. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl https://blossom.primal.net/f554f33924e660c1e74279a10fba9d871cf0b43e92e855f2d41d106a5f5dd402.jpg npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I'm sorry to hear that. That must be hard for you and your sister. My condolences. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Is that cauliflower and french fries? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I do that sometimes. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I travel for work and my job pays for my food on the go, but it's still tricky. 😄 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I would if they weren't 400 dollars. 😄 Not paying that luxury price tag. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl This is your brain on daily wire. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl And the sun rises. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Mood. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Ben has been on this hill for years and his reputation will continue to die there. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl For now we're in the nightmare timeline. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl What is wrong with my country? 🇺🇸 😄 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl For example, I paid off a credit card recently using Strike's Bill Pay. That sold some Bitcoin at a loss that I stacked last week. But I also just stacked my paycheck this recent Friday. When Bitcoin goes back up, I'll come out ahead. It really is a time preference thing. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I stopped being annoyed at price dips when I internalized the fact that sats are fungible. If you're always stacking and you save more than you spend the short term dips don't matter. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Does it matter? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I think the only people who expect Bitcoin influencers to remain faithful to a single social media platform are other high-level Bitcoin influencers. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Airlines have complimentary wifi now lets gooo!! npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl No amount of censorship will ever cover up the evil. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl How difficult is it to get an FFL? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl No. I will not fall for the latest political panic porn. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Google Maps be like "but don't you want to reroute through a major city center to save 20 minutes on an eight hour trip??" npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl For me it's hearing "attack surface" in every podcast to describe any vulnerability whatsoever npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Root: A woodland game of might and right. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It astonishes me that this keeps working 😆 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl VICTORY. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Search will get worse and this'll claw back 50% of that lost functionality. Woohoo innovation. So much growth. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl What's happening now? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Another fork incoming npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl All I could think of when I saw that chair was that it looked very... human. 😌 npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I am so grateful for espresso. I can have the worst night's sleep and it can still electrify me awake. At least for a while. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl That's 100% more npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl No kidding. Totally reckless. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl GM npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl The Shakespeare gif makes a good GM. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Why wouldn't you keep your money on an entirely separate device? Even a cheap one? Why take that risk at all. That and using cold storage or 2FA. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Creepy nightmare fuel. Not a good GM npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Thank you for recommending this. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl prediction markets are something else npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Total carnage. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I would believe that. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I'd say it started earlier but it's certainly fallen off a cliff since then on average. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl If there's a dry spell of creativity in the film industry, perhaps it's best to consider other forms of entertainment. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl That looks like tasty tea. Chai? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It's going to cost as much as a war to keep these stupid companies afloat. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl That magical moment npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Wish I had taken more pictures. Nice little shopping district. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Ain't it the truth npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Truth npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Damn... that's a black pill. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl What the heck npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl They will eat like everything its crazy. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl It's always just about money. What a grift. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Is it good? npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I am at peace. I'm also on Tylenol, which helps. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Awesome. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl GM npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Many bots have been muted. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl A random reply from nowhere that misunderstands your intention while making a swipe at your beliefs and utterly void of any content to respond to. Equal parts unintelligible and smug. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Zero chance this is the full story. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl I may not be very proud as an American, but every day I wake up and thank God that I'm not British, Canadian or Australian. npub1julukexzh9qcthftzhh9sdy5qt63dhy6ta5dwpesdeds6z6hgpes3enazw michaelafriedl Just wanted to say I appreciate your engagement and transparency.
