Good morning Nostriches!
I was just looking out the bedroom window and I remembered the time I saw a dog run through our yard and then moments later a young kid chasing after it.
That was about 15 years ago… That kid is now an adult!
I’m old 🤦‍♂️

I’ve been struggling for years to find a reliable way to download heavily DMR videos.
My use case usually has to do with clients loosing their originals or wanting to otherwise edit videos they no long have saved (for whatever human excuse applies) 🤣
Likewise I’ve paid for several courses over the years, only to have them be sunsetted and I have to scramble to retain ownership.
Usually I could find updated web based tools to get the job done, especially when its a one off thing.
Now I’m in a situation where there are over 1000 vids I need to catalog and backup for a client.
Enter Terminal (command line for my Windows friends)…
Dug deep into the archive from my days of BASIC and early HTML to accomplish this one.
But using Terminal with Homebrew and ultimately yt-dlp has led to success.
I even figured out (with a little help from Grok) how to put the files where I want them and name them how I want.
Lots of work in front of me but finding the solution was half the battle!

It is with an exhausted mind and body that I bid you Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Night.
Normally when I wake at 3am its because my brain turns on and I can’t fall back asleep.
I also usually get to take a late morning nap to get me through the day.
Not this time…
The 3am wake was a phone call from my frantic mother in law, “PopPop had fallen and all he can communicate is moans.”
So into action my wife and I leapt.
20 hours later of shuffling family to and from the hospital, and a 4 game basketball tournament admist…
We are finally home and ready for rest.
The prognosis is unclear but based on initial tests, PopPop suffered a double stroke.
His mind is working but he can’t verbalize other than grunts and “mmmmm”-es and his right upper body is currently paralyzed.
Obviously still early in all of this and your prayers are appreciated.
We are working to transfer him to a better hospital ASAP as we’ve already encountered issues at the current one.
P.S. Son had 17 points, 3 assists, and 1 rebound in the second game. He hit a clutch deep 3 to send the game into double OT!
God bless

Ok…so what if we don’t look at this literally and rather practically.
In application, I could zap more times, just with fewer sats, than the amount of sats I’ve received via even a larger quantity of zaps received.
Regardless I think this exercise is getting stuck in the weeds.
The point is: our heart should be to zap more. Give, without expecting in return.
Maybe that means on our personal ledger we have to convert additional fiat to sats.
Even if at this point in time that’s what I have to do so that I can propel the cycle forward, to your point, eventually I will have paid it forward enough so that my net gain in sats is larger than the sats sent.
I get mathematically that is what you are saying; I just think we are not yet at the tipping point and so the nore we can build the habit of zapping (regardless of sats sent) the closer we move to the desired outcome of a Bitcoin Standard.

Good Morning Notriches!
(I think 😏)
Well, there isn’t any other way to say this than with an image.
After all, a picture is worth a thousand words they say…
They also say, “happy wife, happy life”.
Or as my wife specifically said, “It’s time for the mid-life crisis to be over…the beard has got to go.”
So…for my proof of work this morning, I present to you “old Jason”.
I had my beard short for 30 years and I was really hoping to have it long (with a cool mustache of course!) for the next 30 years.
Turns out I’m only allotted 3 years 😬
So here’s to the next few decades of a happy wife.
Cheers and God bless you this morning!
P.S. I’m probably going to keep my profile picture with the longer beard. If for no other reason than to remind myself how cool I once was 🤣

2026-02-09 13:05:48 CET

Good Morning Nostriches!
I love the Word of God.
Each time I read it, something new jumps out at me.
How many people have read Revelations?
(Not many…)
Pastors tend to stay away from it in corporate gatherings and individuals (if they read their Bible) usually stick to the more well known passages.
If one does read Revelations, they prefer the flashy, prophetic, end of the world verses.
But you know what? In just the first few sentences we are told
“The one who reads this is blessed, and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it are blessed, because the time is near!”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
How cool is that?
Now I believe that the Angel of the Lord (speaking to John in this verse) is communicating to not only read the book of Revelations but the other scrolls and manuscripts that are now a part of the canonical Bible.
But even if He intended it only to be the words within Revelations, if one desires or is is otherwise in need of blessing, they simply have to read scripture.
God is good and He makes loving Him so easy!
Amen.
Have a blessed day Nostriches!

Perhaps…
What happens though when sats become worth so much more in fiat terms?
Do people get pay reductions?
I don’t know…but in theory they would not longer need pay raises if fiat price of what they are being paid in is consistently increasing (due to it’s deflationary nature).
Interesting question to ponder for sure!

Fair sentiment but this entirely ignores adoption curve and more critically, relationships.
We have to earn the right to be heard with an individual. How we do that is by meeting people where they are.
So optionality is the more relational way to do this.
If they want to learn how to pay in Bitcoin, awesome! Otherwise stop being a lazy merchant and just convert it on the backend if the goal is to stack more sats.
But if the goal is “to make people healthier” demanding they stick a damn needle in their arm with Lord knows what in it…well that’s not very relational now is it?

Good morning #coffeechain and #teachain
(Oh! And Nostriches too 😜)
So I’m sipping my coffee this morning, and it has a different taste than usual…almost a floral, elderberry flower to be specific, note to it.
It’s actually quite nice and a bit smoother...which is partly why it caught my attention.
But I’m racking my brain trying to figure out why it tastes like the tea I had yesterday.
New mug ✅
Double ✔️✔️ I used coffee and not tea ✅
Washed my beard ✅🥹
Well…turns out if you use the same French press for your coffee as a high quality loose leaf tea…
That high quality tea flavor and aroma may just linger in the French press way longer than you’d ever imagine 🤣
Here’s to my Organic Fair Trade Single Origin Peruvian coffee…laced with Elderberry 🤪

1. For those of you in the cold, literally, I apologize for anything bad I’ve ever said about people living up North 🙃
It was 30°F here with wind chill below that.
In a few days we are expected to hit 25°F with wind chill of 9°F
My pineapple plants (all 75 of them) are already crying from last week’s cold snap. I’m not sure they will survive
But enough about 🍍… it was, is, and will be freezing (literally) in Florida the next 10 days 🥶
2. Thomas À Kempis wrote “The more humble a man is in himself, and the more obedient towards God, the wiser will he be in all things, and the more shall his soul be at peace.”

“As always, none of this should be considered as legal or investment advice.
You should always follow the law as this has always worked out great, especially for those who “sold” their gold to the US government after executive order 6102 was issued.” - @npub1x9h…6rta

There is an app @nprofile…n8l3 which is a distress pin type feature that may work on UP

@nprofile…rgyv and @nprofile…lwqr touch upon the idea that Quantum won’t affect Bitcoin, above halfway through https://fountain.fm/episode/dJ7ZquoosBLcmhamuBAv
Supposedly there is a 100+ page Whitepaper coming out soon which discusses the topic

So I see the information/data.
I gather the action you want people to take is to stack sats.
But to what end?
I’m missing the connection between the power law chart and hiring a “silent” hourly employee.
Are you saying this employee returns 33% a year and so pick how effective an employee you want (the salary)?
Do that just for a year or for many years?
…I feel I’m missing something

One of the things my wife and I have really been working on over the last year is "grace over grind".
The hustle and grind culture will kill ya!

I've seen the Bitcoin Art Magazine on a view posts. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

Thanks for engaging!
I don't disagree with the additional context.
Perhaps adding the context to your original note would have helped to clarify and thus avoid the potential appearance of a confrontation (which was not my intent 🤝)

Reading @nprofile…0dny's Principles of Economics.
As a business owner I always knew the minimum wage concept and political position is actually counter-productive to human growth (personal development)
I however hadn’t thought of it in the frame that when a minimum wage is instituted, in effect it becomes illegal to hire people who can’t produce more than the minimum wage.
“Wages, like all prices in a market, are not just arbitrary numbers chosen by greedy employers. They are a reflection of the marginal productivity of the worker. As the law now stipulates that a worker must be paid $10 per hour, the employer now has to reconsider whether it is worth hiring this worker. When the government mandates a minimum wage, it does not magically alter the calculus of the employer, nor does it magically increase the worker’s productivity. The employer will still only hire workers whose productivity is higher than their wage.
Thus, the minimum wage law makes it illegal for employers to hire anyone whose marginal productivity is less than $10 per hour. Any worker whose productivity is less than that will now become a drain on any business that hires him and pays him that amount. Either he gets fired, or the business that hires him loses money and goes bankrupt. In all cases, these jobs are eliminated, and everyone whose productivity is less than $10 per hour is now legally unemployable; either unemployed or employed illegally.”

I realize it’s a vanity number, and heck maybe half my “Followers” aren’t real humans or are no longer using NOSTR 🥲
But it’d be a cool milestone to reach the 500 Follower count.
If any of the topics in my profile interest you, I ask you to Quote this Note, add your own thoughts - maybe say what it is you value about the content I create and has kept you following me and engaging with me since I joined NOSTR a year ago.
In doing so you’d be helping a fellow Nostrich reach a small personal milestone.
I believe leadership = relationships and without relationships we are nothing.
Starting first with God, followed by self, family, and others.
Together we can #grownostr !
P.S. Remember if it’s worth a Like, Comment, ReNote, or QuoteNote; it’s worth a #zap

“Every financial crisis is basically a roll failure (not enough liquidity to roll the existing debt at tolerable prices).”
Sounds like the powers that be are merely taking out Options Contracts on the debt cycle.
And when gamma overtakes theta to the point they can no longer roll the Option out in time or up in strike; the inevitable happens.
They get assigned or are forced to pay a short term premium in hopes that “next expiration” they can roll.
(aka they assign us or force us to pay the piper)

Based upon this chart, it seems we have a few more years to go before the next “crisis” is required to bring us back down.

True. Complexity can lead to chaos.

Correct.
Clarity is the first step, the next is Choice.
Choosing requires action.
