GM Moscow. Planning to buy the top with my bonus check on Thursday. Fri seems like a good day for the 58k gang.

Gm nostr. None of what I have planned for today involves or depends on the exchange rate of my strategic reserve.

Ge nostr. Finally got Facebook to schedule my account for deletion. There may be an orphaned Instagram account that I never used hanging around out there, doubt I'll ever be able to access it. I created (and just deleted) a Whatsapp account as part of trying to access the IG account. Fuck it. On a sadder note, also deleted my dead cat's FB account (they wouldn't ever allow me to memorialize it anyway.) That should have me entirely out of Meta except for that orphaned IG account that I will probably fuck with again in the future, trying to delete it. I think that leaves LinkedIn as my only corporate social left. Also, in separate news, wife is pissed (both in the American sense, still; I did try to apologize for missing her texts yd, but it apparently didn't land - and in the British sense, already several tall boys in.) Should be a great night! If I don't survive, count yourselves richer by the size of my stack. I doubt it will be retreived.

Ge nostr. Not feeling like I'm doing that well (although certainly everything is fine). Some of this may be seasonal, interestingly enough. I think I'm normally pretty good at getting things done. And it feels like that is slipping, like I 'm doing the bare minimum, if even that. At times I can tell myself I deserve a break or it's nice to relax a bit, but it stiil just feels lazy, and not good enough. Is everything handled? Sure, I suppose. But I know I could do more. This is a bad illustration of that. I told my wife at the end last month that I quit Facebook, deleted the app off my phone. That is mostly true, the account is still there because of a long story that pisses me off, but Meta won't let me delete it. I told her to text me instead of using Messenger (her go-to for all communication). She was annoyed, but went along. Today I didn't look at my cell phone between maybe right when I got up (6 am) and when I quit working (after 5pm). She had texted twice (two different topics, several texts throughout the day). I didn't see them until after I had welcomed her home from work (I work from home, she gets home around 4pm). The first topic, she had eventually resolved herself. The second, she is also taking care of. Now I'm pretty sure she's pissed at me. And I get that. This morning I got up at 6a, set up some stuff for work that ran all day, and started gaming (Ark). I did see her before she left for work and wished her a good day (which happens maybe 10% of days). Then I gamed and worked (mostly gamed, checked work emails and messages a few times) all day. Checked on what had been running all day at the end of the day, it wasn't done, so set it to run all night. Yes, a really easy day at work. I don't like cell phones. Don't like that I am instantly interruptible. But I have to balance that against my wife's "needs", and one of those is the need to feel heard and supported. I didn't make her feel that way today. With FB Messenger, I had a desktop client that would alert me on the computer when she messaged. Not so much with texts. So I'm sure she is blaming my leaving Facebook, and equating it with leaving her. I can see that. And I don't think that this needs a technical solution. I think it needs a mindset solution, or a good talk-through with her, probably both. But back to the original concept. I feel like I'm not doing enough, even here. Maybe I should be checking my phone more. Maybe I shouldn't be so distracted by gaming. Maybe I should have done more around the house today. Maybe I should have done something nice for my wife. There's plenty of emotions here. Guilt is one of them, actually more than one of them, as there are multiple guilt elements. One you didn't think about - I can feel guilty I have an easy day of work. Hard to even call it work. No immediate good resolutions here. This isn't something that is easy to fix. There may be simple solutions, but they aren't easy. And this is why I nostr. So I can write all this out, which forces me to explore it, accept it, manifest it all in a way. If you've gotten this far or even if you skipped to the end, I appreciate you. This helps.

Ge nostr. I'm struggling to envision how I will begin using AI in my daily life. I'm sure I'll get there, but have no idea where "there" is.

Ge nostr. Still remaining blissfully disconnected. Whatever you're on about, it either doesn't affect my reality (although it may someday), or isn't something I can meaningfully act on. Hodl applies to more than just money.

GE nostr. The US presidential election is not going to make anyone's world a better place, except maybe Ross. Over it. Today I am ill. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better, and do better. Being a sugar addict sucks, for many reasons. My day illustrates some of those. I have some hope for tomorrow, though. 29 days left in no sugar november, I hope I don't fail them all.

GE nostr. When I scroll my feed and realize I don't have context to understand most of what everyone's on about, I feel somethng I'll call JOMO. This joy means I must be doing some things right.

Ga nostr. Opt out. Trying to leave Meta, but it's fighting me.

Ga nostr. I now own a diesel 1-ton pickup truck. It is almost 20 years old, so well broken in. This has been a goal of mine for almost a decade. The utility gained is tremendous.

Gn nostr. Feeling increasingy disconnected from things. And I don't really think that's a bad thing.

GM nostr. Moving between different accounting models. I had been very focused on visualizing everything through the fiat paradigm of assets, liabilities, and cash flow. I did budgeting, again in the standard fiat sense, taking my monthly fiat mine income, deducting my monthly expenses from it, and based decisions on whatever was left over each month. Now I'm rethinking this. I'm looking at total net worth, total savings, ratio of savings to net worth, total expendable, total monthly liability, and months of runway, all in bitcoin terms. As long as I have x months of runway (let's say 6) as expendable wealth, I can save everything else. I'm able to extend that runway as well as savings through additional debt. You might notice that monthly income isn't represented. This is because it isn't assumed until realized. I could probably factor it in to my runway estimates as a forecast if I wanted to. This approach is based off lots of ideas I've taken from Mark Moss, Michael Saylor, and others. I am completely divorcing myself from living paycheck to paycheck, and ramping up to take full advantage of this fiat debasement cycle.

Gn nostr. Exiting fiat.

Good evening nostr. 🤡🌎Voting🌎🤡 ❗🟰 🤡🌎Politics🌎🤡

Good evening, nostr. When I hear someone say something that I disagree with, I can move on without any outrage. That person's take is just information to me, not a personal attack. Even when they may intend it to be a personal attack, it is still information, and only serves to inform me of their position. No need for outrage; let's save that for abuses of power by the state and its agents.

Gm nostr. It's a weekend. Best be enjoying it, I suppose.

Gm nostr.

Gm nostr. Gettin it.

GE nostr. Velocity. I think that is how I would describe life right now. Not necessarily fast or slow, just everything seems to have a sense of velocity.

Gn nostr. I had a notion last night (sort of a dream, I guess) about starting a courier service. I worked as a courier when I was younger. I don't even know if courier services still exist! Anyway, I doubt it will happen, but just in case it does, I mentioned it here - just me timestamping my ideas.
