Life is colourful if you get up early and look in the right places ☀️

Today was my first time shooting a semi-automatic handgun. Lots to improve upon obviously. Prior to this I have only ever shot a BB gun Tomorrow: the recoil is gonna make my arms hurt and I can't fucking wait. This experience was 100% worth every penny I have always said to my friends in London: if I lived in the US I would learn how to shoot and be armed to the teeth. They have expressed shock, some have expressed disgust. But deep down they also know if this was a reality - that being I have guns and know how to use them - then when shit gets real I wouldn't be going to their home, they'd be trying to figure out how to get to mine.

😊 this makes me so happy and grateful. If anyone else would like a copy that you can hold let me know. I'll post it to you when I get back to the UK 💓 View quoted note →

"This is not technically difficult. The hard part is cultural: convincing a community steeped in self-custody ideology that custodial architecture is appropriate for some use cases. The ideology emerged from Bitcoin, where the stakes were financial and the custodians were often untrustworthy third parties. Nostr inherited the ideology without examining whether it applied to organizational contexts where the custodian is the organization itself." View article →

When I lived in Bermuda (I think the population was less than 65k people at that time) a huge number of people rode bikes/scooters. You NEVER left your helmet on your bike. It was either locked up in the bike box or you took it inside with you (your friend's house, a restaurant, whatever). You could never leave a helmet out in London either. Here in Chiang Mai, a city with far more people than Bermuda, many people just leave their helmets with their bikes, unsecured. I don't know about Bermuda, but I remember a time when London was a lot more high-trust. Maybe with the sheer number of people there it was never at Thai levels, but it was certainly more then, than it is now. I miss that

Low time preference today looks like this Instead of spending the equivalent of £7 on a notebook that doesn't look stupid, I spent £1.80 on one that does. Because what's on the outside is irrelevant to what I write inside 💪 It's gonna get covered in @BitPopArt stickers anyway, but I must admit I kinda like Patrick :)

What a great morning we had yesterday exchanging ideas and experiences. @BitPopArt - it was great to meet you in IRL!
