Stoke Space is rad as hell.

Actually, while we're at it, how many people on Nostr train #bjj/#jiujitsu? Who's spending time on the mats?

Who's doing/thinking about #evopsych on Nostr?

Read Stross's Accelerando, if you already haven't. People like to describe sci-fi as prophetic, but Accelerando isn't how things will necessarily play out- the world's already changed a lot since 2008. What it will give you a feel for just how deeply weird things are likely to get.

The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip.

How good are current open source CGM options?

It's looking like the rocks do, in fact, float.

If you ever struggle with focus (and if you don't, I envy you!) the always fascinating Elizabeth Filips has some excellent techniques to share: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=brInNApdbL4

Yamana Sozen, the Red Monk. In 1466, with a succession struggle brewing within the shogunate, Yamana gathered his troops and marched to Kyoto: nominally to support the shogun's brother's claim to the throne, but fundamentally as part of an ongoing feud with his son in law, Hosokawa. After more than a year of tense, sometimes violent brinksmanship, with brawls in the streets and wood-and-paper Japanese buildings put to the torch, the conflict would finally erupt into the Onin War. A decade of brutal urban conflict later would see Yamana and Hosokawa both dead, the Japanese Imperial capital laid in ruins, and the power of the shogunate over the provincial lords was broken. The event marked the start of the Sengokujidai, Japan's Warring States Period.

read Varian and Shapiro!

The superconductor news is staying interesting for longer than I initially expected. It seems like whatever this material is, it's got some fascinating properties... https://twitter.com/iris_IGB/status/1685804254718459904

Uh, general #nostr question- is there a good solution yet for mass-blocking shitcoiner bots? It's not that big a deal, but there's a minor infestation almaot every time I post.

I'm a big fan of the folks at Integrated Skills Group, as they highlight some stuff that's often overlooked in the broader prepper community. One thing is in-field weather prediction, and broad weather awareness skills. Knowing a little bit about clouds and weather patterns can really let you understand a bit about the vast systems of temperature and pressure flow that surround you, which is majestic, fascinating. And occasionally, very useful. https://integratedskillsgroup.com/2021/06/level-up-cloud-genera/
