Politicians can slow BTC adoption for some. But I believe a Bitcoin standard is inevitable.
Campaign speeches are strictly for entertainment. They all lie to get in office. After they get into office they work for the central Banks.
If the success of your household can be disrupted by a stranger living at some address in DC that you have never met. It is your responsibility to mitigate and fix this.

Only to be disappointed because nostr keeps nostr'ing.

Paraphrased text exchange with a friend yesterday.
Friend: hey running Man, Nvidia up 25%.
Running Man: def do some profit taking. Do you know why it's up?
Friend: I don't have any yet, I've been watching it for a few months. Thinking about getting some, there's more room for growth. Blah blah blah something about AI.
Running Man: call me later.
For wanna be day traders.... #FOMO is a #MOFO.
SMH.
I used to be in the club. Haha.
Yesterday, I call my wireless provider....
"Hi, I will be unemployed effective Monday. I need to lower my bill."
20 minutes later my mrc are reduced by 32% and I have some credits coming in the next bill.
WTF. Should have done that isht much earlier.

Good morning NOSTR fam!
It looks like it's going to be another beautiful day βοΈ ποΈ in the #KeystoneState ποΈπΏ.
Let's hope this trend holds true through the upcoming #MemorialDay holiday weekend.
Headed out early this am to try and catch one of those #sunrise #runs . Our goal is to get a fast 1 hour run. So we'll probably keep it on the main paved trail.
Make today the best Thursday of 2023 so far friends.

Good morning NOSTR fam!
Looks like it's going to be another beautiful Wednesday in the #KeystoneState πβοΈπ³πΎπβπ¦Ί. We are on a streak.
We logged just over an hour long #run this morning at a respectable pace. The trails were a little busy, so the #pooch was on leash most of it. But we'll get her back out for a lunch time hike to make up for it.
Today's hit list should be pretty easy. A couple items already crossed off as completed.
I wish you all a banging #HumpDayWednesday.
Sending some good vibes and nice weather your way via this note.

Good morning fellow Nostriches!
It looks like it is going to be another beautiful day in the #KeystoneState.
The family left this morning, so it's back to BAU for the pooch and I.
I've budgeted for 2 hours of fiat factory work and 4 hours for investment in self. We'll see how that pans out at the end of the day. ππ
Seven years ago this morning I was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident. One where I broke both ankles and would be wheelchair bound for the next 6 months.
During this time I learned the real value of family (read....close friends included).
It's never been easy for me to accept help or charity from others. I learned during this time, that people who come to your aid in such times. Do so, not out of obligation or duty, but out of love and care.
Said differently....your true friends LOVE that they are in a position to be helpful to you in your time of need.
That realization blew my freaking mind back then.
For 6 months I was not allowed to lift a finger. I learned the real meaning of "family".
I've never forgotten and I cherish these family members to this day.
Well that's my random thought diarrhea of the day.
Hope you all have a wonderful day. Call a friend today for no reason other to tell them you appreciate them and ask if they are ok or need help with anything.

Good morning fellow Nostriches!
I am pretty amped about the day/week ahead.
I have some binness to tend to early in the day then plan on enjoying the rest of the afternoon with fam as they will be heading out early tomorrow.
The weather in the #KeystoneState is looking quite cooperative. πβοΈ
No miles ran this morning. But we hit the weights for a little solo shred seasion ποΈββοΈ ποΈ to get the blood flowing.
We'll make up the miles later in the week.
Have a banging day to kick off a banging week friends.

Good morning NOSTR friends!
I hope this note finds you all well and in a place of peace and serenity.
It's a cloudy and rainy morning in the #KeystoneState . But the pooch and I got our miles in...pre-sunnup and rain. We got an above average pace for almost an hour on a technical trail (aka ankle-breaker).
We didn't encounter any Humanee until the tail end, so the pooch was off leash for the majority. More steps for her when she's off leash.
Exchange of the day....
Sis: Pop, you not worried about the gangs is isht.
Pops: No, God walks with me.
Me (silently and to myself): Oooookay.

Good morning and happy Friday NOSTR friends!
This morning's run was.....well I was going to say "fast and short", but too many jokes can come out of that one.
So instead, I'll describe this morning's run as a "pretty fast" 45 minutes.
As I write this note I am thinking about all the things that got done this week.
I'd say an overall productive week and enjoyed every minute of every day of it. That's a new realization. When on full blown hamster wheel mode, these two factors have typically been mutually exclusive.
Productive week = stressful and unhealthy week.
Fun week = unproductive week.
Horrible way to spend my time, thinking back on it.
"What do I need to do to ensure this week becomes my norm?!" #ThoughtOfTheDay
The longer I am off the hamster wheel and the fewer hours spent on the fiat factory, the more obvious and clear are the opportunities to me. It becomes easier with every passing day for me to identify the path I want to take.
On that front, I did budget 3 hours today for the fiat factory, totalling about 12 hours for the week. Next week's fiat factory hours are expected to be < 8 hours. Eventually ending the month with zero hours budgeted for fiat commitments.
Oh and someone on the trails this morning (a gentleman clearly younger then I, greeted me with "good morning young man!" Yeah. That brought me a smile. Haha.
Having a banging day friends.

If you are in your 20's or 30's.
Grab a notepad and pen and watch this episode. Some of this stuff I didn't figure out until like....basically last week. π― Haha.
Wish I had seen it when I was much younger.
Good afternoon NOSTR fam!
It's a beautiful day in the #KeystoneState. Enough so that I will transmit some of this beautiful weather to your corner of the globe if it is cloudy.
Much on the brain this am. Apologies in advance for the diahreah of thought.
This morning's miles were a casual hike. I woke up a little sore and wasn't sure why because I hadn't done anything different....so I thought. More on that at the end of the note.
I'm back in the city, 3 days earlier then originally planned. I learned early this morning that sister #3 (the youngest) is coming through with pops for the weekend.
I had to get back to the city and make the house presentable. Translated means ~change the sheets in the spare bedroom and wash dusty towels in the spare bathroom (both are used 2 maybe 3 times a year).
Pops lives primarily in Haiti but comes through once a year typically for about a month to "put eyes" on family, as he calls it.
During that visit he puts eyes on his kids, grandkids, his siblings (my 2 aunts) my mom, and maybe a few other close friends and family members.
It's been this way for about 15 years. Since he moved back to Haiti from the Empire state.
This year I'm looking forward to this visit more then any previous year for one main reason. I need to interview him.
In the last 12 months sisters (number 1 & 3) on different occasions have "accused" me of behaving very much like our father. My initial reaction in both cases was...well not good.
My initial thoughts following both instances were of all the ways my pops and I were different.
1 - My pops has never in his life set foot in a bar.
As for me, from the age of 25-35 my livingroom was a bar on most weekdays.
2 - Growing up my dad would drink and get silly 2 (maybe 3) times a year and it was always at home, a party he planned and only open to family.
In retrospect, I think he mostly did it to make mom happy. She liked to see him let loose and be silly every once in a while. Few ever got to see that side of him.
As for me getting tipsy or drunk is just another Saturday, sometimes maybe a Tuesday. Still even today if I'm honest with you all.
3 - My pops has never said the words "I am sorry" or "I was wrong". Even when he was.
As for me, I always own my isht. Especially in situations where mini me and her mom was involved.
4 - My pops has never had a traffic violation, a ticket or been in trouble with the law.
As for me. Well just say, not the case.
5 - My pops spoke the words "I love you son" to me for the first time when I was 21 y/o.
Growing up I never doubted he loved me, it was just never spoken. He spoke those words to me for the first time when I was going out on my first deployment, I didn't know how long I'd be gone and he picked up on unspoken hints that I thought I'd covered up.
He was worried, "I'm a radio nerd pops. I'm not going to be near anything that might get me hurt." It wasn't a lie, just not the whole truth. He knew the deal.
I on the other hand speak those words (I love you) to mini me every single time I speak to or meet her. I say it to my friends even when it makes them feel uncomfortable. Hah. Especially when it makes them feel uncomfortable.
It's been that way with mini me since before she even knew what they words meant.
As for that first deployment...it ended up being a nothing burger and it was over pretty fast. I was very lucky.
Unlike so many of the generations after me. Back to back tours and multi-decade long conflicts. Woooosa! I'll stop there.
And lastly....
5 - there's a tyrannical side to pops. It's his way always. Conform or leave.
As for me....well. I don't think the pooch would agree that I am this way.
So these were the initial thoughts that came to mind on both occasions from 2 siblings when they accused me of having similar traits/behaviors to pops.
My feelings have changed much since those initial "accusations" (last September the most recent case). I no longer see my sisters remarks as an "accusation".
I think I get why they see some parts of my pops in me, and I'm both honored and humbled.
I plan to get the pair drunk this weekend, find out what they really think, and maybe I'll share this note with them.
Have a bangin day friends.

Some of the bots on global, are obvious bots to me. Think temp or dm snitcher...I mean reporter.
But others......I'm sort of giving that side eye. Thinking the one going by the name of d a v

It's quite possible it is a real person and is just really really quick with optimizing search engine query/formatting.
Keeping a close eye on that one.
