Looks great! Congrats!

I really hope he didn't get tortured. If they just killed him though, that man definitely died with his boots on! There are certainly more tragic ways to go...

Witnesses have reported that other individuals also attempted to block the tank column at different points

I've heard stories of the underground church there that sound beyond belief. One can only image the kind of undocumented heroics that have taken place in settings like that.

I've always wondered if he survived to know what an icon he became or if they just executed him right after this.

I didn't know that today was the anniversary. Just last night, my wife and I went to a bowling alley to do music trivia. I remember that a few years back I had seen on the wall a newspaper article in which the bowling alley was featured. But the newspaper feature was from the time of the Tiananmen Square massacre and there were all of these interviews with people in our community about it on the side of the page. It was really interesting reading all of these people's opinions right at the time of the event.

Alas, when I went to show my wife the wall hanging, it had finally been replaced by something newer. I always search for things that shed light on history simply because they've been neglected. It's like being a lay archeologist, but it also just feels tragic when people finally get around to cleaning up.

Sorry little buddy. Wasn’t trying to be rude. Time is finite and I’ve got lots to do! 😅

Food for thought: Be careful defining yourself by what you’re against. If those things are ever defeated, what does that leave you with? Have you ever visited a place worth sharing? Is there someplace in your neck of the woods that we should all look into visiting? I’ve been to some places there that were neat, but nothing like what OP is describing here.

Had not heard of this. The idea of pledging a specific utxo instead of an amount of bitcoin is neat from a fee standpoint too.

Thanks!

Any one of the pledgers can flag the worker for bogus work. The platform never collects the money. It just produces invoices for the worker and sends them to the pledgers. So the pledger isn’t forced to pay, but their reputation gets docked if they don’t pay or flag the job for bad work.

If it catches on, I’ll need to work out arbitration options or something like that.

Yeah, thanks for sharing @leo . I also agree with @grayruby. In addition to everything else that makes it so great, It’s gotta be one of the best cities I’ve been to anywhere in the world for the way they treat music/musicians as well.

I actually I don’t personally see the relevance in this week’s nostr debate, at least not yet. I’m still using the nostr all the time. The title to this was just supposed to be a relevant-to-today title introducing the other thoughts in the post.

Hey, without clickbate I’d have to rely on actually being an interesting writer.

Thank you for this. I hope you gets some thoughtful reads by bitcoiners.

With the biggest bitcoiner profiles on Youtube and nostr actively calling each other names in a manner I don't even allow my grade-school age children to do, it's almost comedic that we're still wondering why adoption is slow in the west...

I've personally stopped sharing anything that wasn't written by me, and only me, to friends because I've had too many discrediting experiences in which the post/video/podcast comes up and my friends are like, "these people behave like children." Half the time, what the bitcoiners are saying is true too... I've had even more disastrous results sharing certain bitcoin-related products (mostly software wallets). I know that's only a small part of what you wrote, but it's the one that's caused me the most amount of angst as I accidentally given a few people their bitcoin vaccines.

Hopefully if folks take this to heart, that may turn around.

Yessireee!

He does that too! I’m just saying that he’s also still doing the water heater thing as well.

Hashrate house is still also selling immersion tanks that heat hot water heaters. It’s basically a hot water heater that uses the home owners’ old hot water heater just for the water tank.

Classic rock fan in Cleveland…did you hit up the museum too?

Vienna, Austria

for sure

I saw this over on nostr first, so here’s my thought on the subject.

In this case I’m saying the POS machine as the user of the network made an error in accounting. One might also say it was me and the clerk for not watching more closely what the other was doing. Lightning just did its thing. The accounting implementation by the POS was just too cutting edge and still had a bug.
