Just made delicious ramen at home . So amazing. My favorite. 横浜家系. Made my wife a more generic 豚骨 ramen. Accidentally I prepared double portions for each of us! So obviously ate hers too, totaling three portions for me. AND then I finished the soups off by adding rice as a “risotto”. I am dead. But happy. #foodstr #ramenstr #japanlife #pleblife

Drinking a ice cold beer in the dark in a hot bathtub is the best

Going to be weird when miners pay bitcoin for their electricity in order to receive bitcoin for their mining.

In the future I can imagine myself having multiple wallets, be it Lightning or ecash, which I segregate by use case and use some app that abstracts these being categories like “groceries” or “entertainment” etc, allowing me to budget each month by just automatically topping up each wallet appropriately at month start from a main Bitcoin wallet. I can imagine working in layers of decreasing liquidity like this. Almost like the storage/memory layers in computers. They get bigger and slower where you access them less frequently

How does gravity work to flat earthers? Is it based on the same physics? Surely if you're near the edges of the flat disc, the gravitational pull would no longer be downward but have a diagonal pull. Things wouldn't fall vertically in places like Australia or South Africa.

Anybody have recommendations for podcasts about #QuantumComputing ?

Laziness is an enemy of improvement. Don’t give up on things because they’re inconvenient. If you believe in them, work to improve them

二千百兆 the maximum number of sats to ever exist. 21e14. In Japanese 10^8 is 一億 (oku) so 1bitcoin is 1 oku sats. But with 21m Bitcoin, that means 21x10^14 sats. 10^12 is 1兆 (chou) in Japanese. So we’d have 2100兆 sats ever created. You can write 2100 with characters for “two thousand hundred” 二千百, so altogether it’s 二千百兆 (ni sen hyaku chou) sats

I wonder what the trends are like so the regard to engineers starting on Bitcoin projects vs shitcoin projects now compared to 4 years ago. Are people starting to realize the shitness and see where the real value is yet?

Land of the free. The US is a joke. They are nothing of what they claim to stand for. There are wonderful folk in the US, but the leaders are disingenuous charlatans. At least with every step they are showing their true colors.

Writing fresh C++ for the first time in like 10 years. Decided it would be fun to have some Gtk notifications on changes certain network / mempool stats (using the my local mempool.space instance's API). Initially wanted to make a top panel widget, but that didn't seem as easy. So notifications should work.

I'm trying to find documentation around the rationale of Capital Gains Tax and how it came to be a thing. More and more I'm asking "why" about taxes... I can't believe how my whole life I'd just accepted all these taxes as if they're a law of nature without questioning their justification. CGT is basically enforced donations to the government. I read how CGT was introduced so that it share the burden that had been covered my Income Tax only up until that point. As if Tax as a whole is some given thing. It's all just so annoying. If the government provides certain services, let me opt in and pay for the value I get. V4V. wtf is this arbitrary percentage of gains nonsense.

20years ago when I was a kid into punk music, going against the trend and at the same time learning how to code and messing on the internet… I wish I’d learned about about the cypherpunk movement. Or actually, any time between then and now! I would’ve loved to have gone down that rabbit hole

Was looking at #flockstr, but can't see how to filter by location. Definitely excited for it as an alternative to "meetup"

Great... I updated my profile description on Highlighter.com and it seems to have erased all of my profile details #highlighter

If you wish you’d bought more when it was low, you will probably wish in the future that you’d at least bought more at the current price. Don’t waste time. Don’t wait. Gain your financial freedom for the future. I wish I’d bought more at lower prices but I know we’ve got so much further ahead. It’s not going to depreciate like current currencies, so just store your value “bit” by “bit”
