Can’t recommend the seed oil free restaurant Naked Farmer in Florida enough! Highly suggest if you’re ever in Miami, Las Olas, Sunrise, or Coral Gables 🥑🍄‍🟫🥩 #foodstr

Currently reading The Ancient Way of the Mind and thinking about the default mode network (DMN) — the idea that when the volume is high, experience can feel like rain hitting a pond: so many ripples at once that it’s hard to tell which sensation belongs to what. Meditation seems to turn that volume down, sharpening perception and interoception — less “me narrating myself,” more direct experience. What’s interesting is that some athletes describe THC similarly during movement: feeling more in tune with the body, breath, and subtle signals. The book also frames psilocybin as another chemical way of accessing something similar — almost like remembering a more primal meditative state of mind. Meditation through trained attentional stability, THC through CB1 receptor modulation, psilocybin through serotonin pathways… different doors, but I’m curious where all three overlap in the brain. @Sydney Bright Link to book on Amazon:

An Uber driver just told me he often sees Uber keep ~40–45% of the fare. What’s interesting is Uber itself says there is no fixed percentage — their formula is: customer price – driver earnings – third-party fees – operational costs = Uber’s service fee. Uber also says that “at the end of the week, Uber never makes more than you do.” (Uber) But in practice, many drivers report keeping only 50–60% of what riders pay, and some report Uber’s cut reaching 45% or more on certain rides, depending on trip length, surge pricing, airport fees, insurance, and local market conditions. (Reddit) That’s why a Nostr + Bitcoin peer-to-peer rideshare model feels like one of the clearest real-world use cases for this ecosystem: • rider pays less • driver keeps more • instant settlement • no giant intermediary extracting the spread • reputation + trust could live on Nostr This seems like an an obvious perfect use case for mass adoption of Bitcoin / nostr. Am I missing something? Is anyone seriously building this yet? 🟠🚕⚡ Never coded before but this makes me want to learn to build on nostr. #asknostr

“I’ve come to appreciate the fact that I’m not 100% certain about many things.” Sermon notes from Easter Sunday that I found in my jacket pocket this morning when I boarded my flight - even those who saw Jesus resurrected still doubted that it was real. Doubt is not unbiblical.

Built a fire pit today and forgot how satisfying trade labor projects can be. There’s something deeply rewarding about working with your hands and ending with something real. @jack mallers has said he expects an art renaissance in the future — more people creating, building, and leaning into craft. That future genuinely excites me. What would your trade be? Oh and happy Easter. Feliz pascua 😇 #POW

We just made our second gluten-free loaf, and overall this one turned out really good—I liked it—but I’d still love to get a little more airy, fluffy texture if possible. I know gluten is what helps hold air and structure, so gluten-free bread naturally turns out a bit denser. For those of you who have experimented with gluten-free bread—have you found ways to make it lighter, or did you eventually decide that clean, quality wheat worked better for you? I’m realizing that if you’re not celiac or truly gluten intolerant, maybe thoughtfully chosen wheat doesn’t have to be off the table. 🍞✨ #glutenfree #bread #sourdough #asknostr
