#asknostr Hey Frens, I'm terminally frustrated.😬 Anybody out there running Amethyst on Graphene (i.e., Android) and able to ZAP freely? Back in the day when I was running Amethyst with Wallet of Satoshi, I could zap anyone, anywhere, all day long, and the zaps went through like rain and lightning falling on parched earth...🫂💖😁 Lately, I try to ZAP someone, and it hangs there for a minute or sometimes much more... more often than not, it won't go through at all...😳 I'm using Minibits and NWC... Anyone using Graphene in some other combination (EXCEPT Primal; I am paranoid about Primal algorithms and centralization😬) and your ZAPPERY working smoothly for you?🤔🧐 What's changed? Is there a disturbance in the protocol? Are there too many users? Why can't I zap freely any more? Will WoS come back to the US now that America is (supposedly) "bitcoin friendly?" If YOU are having a smooth, easy, functional experience, please share your setup... This shouldn't be this hard...!😜😮

Eureka!😃 It works!🙏🏻🫂💖🙏🏻😁 I have a plug-in recharge car that came with a dual voltage portable charging cord. I've been charging it on 120v for years, plugging it in at midnight to get six hours of the lowest possible rates. Recently I bought an adapter to connect the 240v plug to an unused electric dryer outlet and charge the car much faster. Well, that worked great, but I still had to remember to plug the car in after midnight to get the cheap rate... I thought I might try to automate the process with a real Rube Goldberg device, a circuit breaker toggled by a heavy-duty servo, run by a tiny Arduino Nano controller. Then my Son suggested that I look at swimming pool controllers. Sure enough, I found a suitable one that would switch a two-phase, 240 volt circuit. I've hooked it up, and by golly it works great! It saved me a lot of tinkering and experimentation. This is a temporary lash-up where I have connected it and have been running it for three nights now, quite successfully. The next step will be to actually run some official wiring and build an outlet into the wall at the end of the house. The pool timer cost less than 40 bucks, delivered, from Amazon. If you decide to try this, be sure that you get one that will handle the electrical requirements of your vehicle.

What is America?🤔 The President: "I get to make shit up that YOU have to do, or WE will ROB or put you in a CAGE." THIS is how EVERY human state on the planet operates. It is the heart of the government where YOU live. It's time to WAKE UP, people, and admit that you have pledged your allegiance to a system run by demons:

# GM, Frens!🙏🏻💖😁 Here's an original poem I wrote about two years ago, and released first on nostr. I think that now, two years later, there's enough of all y'all who are NEW here and have not yet seen it to justify a reprint. Also, I just needed some inspiration and encouragement today. My creative juices have been awfully slow-flowing lately.😢 Enjoy! NOTE: This poem flows with the tune of "Windmills Of Your Mind" # ***~ Obsession ~*** by Duncan Cary Palmer ***NOT AI generated!*** ~ Like a tire with a flat spot, Or an elbow out of joint Like a ladder with a missing rung, A pencil short a point Like a rainstorm falling on a dime, A lightbulb with a hole Like a jar of jam with one big lump, A broken piece of coal My life is out of balance And my days are all consumed By my latest fascination; All competing thoughts are doomed I've lost all track of time and space, My head's stuck in a hole; Important matters set aside, Obsession's on a roll Life now has a single focus— Normal balance isn't it— I've become a one-track zombie In an epileptic fit Won't you help me? Look! I'm drowning In an ocean deep as hell, Sinking deeper by the minute Trapped within obsession's spell... There's so many things I need to do... If I could just break free... Pray for me... Pray for me! # ***~ FIN ~***

GM Frens, and Happy Sunday! 💥🎉🔥🙏🏻🫂💖😁🔥🎉💥 My Life Hack for today is meant for YOU, if you are a reader who reads primarily in English.😆 Here is a link to what should become your "Go-To" English Bible:

Home | 2001 Translation

"Why?," you might ask?🤔 I'm glad you asked!😜🤣 This 21st Century translation of the Scriptures into English is the ***most thoroughly honest*** translation I've found thus far in my near-decade long quest of grumbling in writing about the egregiously bad choices made by Bible translators:

'The Curmudgeon's Bible' - My Library Shelf | PeakD

I have long been convinced that subtle corruption of scripture translation is one of satan

When I found the 2001 Project and began to spot-check key words and passages, I was both surprised and very pleased to discover that the translation has already addressed a large number of the issues I've written about in "The Bible Curmudgeon" series linked just above. While there are still improvements to be made, I take heart when I consider that it is the explicit policy of the 2001 Project not only to continually improve the translation, but also to accept suggested improvements from ANY SOURCE as long as they are well supported by good linguistic scholarship. I commend 2001 for your serious consideration...👍 May our Lord and King Jesus bless you and yours greatly today, along with the 2001 Bible translation. 🙏🏻🫂💖😁

Is everyone enjoying the Sunday night bump?🤔🧐😜🤣😂🫂😁

Have you read the novels?🤔🧐😁

Hey, Folks! Once again, I've thrown my hat into the ring and am participating in a contest.🎉😁 For my entry, I have proposed to write a new sonnet celebrating the way the ethos of bitcoin echoes the teachings of Jesus, calling and inspiring us to a higher plane of life and accelerating the insurgence of God's Kingdom of Light into the dark crevasses of a dying fiat world.

Open Source Culture Creator Contest #1 Voting – Satoshee

Please look over the seven proposals on that page along with the examples of each artist's work. Should my proposal win and receive the commission, the resulting sonnet will be released as open source into the public domain. I would be truly and deeply honored if you were to vote for the sonnet I've proposed. 🙏🏻🫂💖😁 #poetry #artstr #sonnet #contest #bitcoin #Jesus #Kingdom #light

I bought this very cool, original design Block Clock from a pleb at our local bitcoin meetup this evening... Paid in bitcoin from my Minibits Wallet... Thanks, Derek! It's up and running like a champ.🙏🏻💖😁👍 Let's go, circular bitcoin economy!😁 #BlockClock #bitcoin #CircularEconomy
