Have I understood this correctly? Cambodian soldiers crossed onto Thai soil, entered a temple, sang their anthem, and then got upset when the Royal Thai Army confronted them about it?

It spite of being fairly mainstream, even for relatively low tech family members of mine, X has started blocking tweets and profile updates with links to Signal.

That's one way to handle things, I guess. You could also, just, not answer the phone in the first place? #meme #memestr #introvert

Poland changes their minimum wage annually, based on projected inflation throughout the next twelve months? How dare they! 😄 #Poland #inflation

Parents and educators alike think that private education automatically fixes issues described in these tweets. However, your fancy private school may very well mimic the same paradigms found in your government schools. This is why more and more families are moving to homeschooling, learning pods, microschools, and the like. #education #teaching #schooling #homeschool #homeschooling #microschool #microschooling Tweet shamelessly stolen from: https://xcancel.com/HannahFrankman/status/1886858364040437785#m

I've been overweight most of my adult life, to one degree or another, and have gone up and down on the scale, depending on any number of factors (exercise levels, diet, fasting regimens, etc.). For a year or two, I kept pretty consistent with OMAD but have found recently that it has been tough to keep up with due to various commitments. It's the usual sob story (or excuses) you'll hear from many a fat man. Anyway, ages ago, I'd heard about dry fasting from Cole Robinson (of Snake Diet fame) but didn't think too much of it. However, something called the "Dry Fasting Club" popped up on my radar the other day, and I've started working through their long-form articles and video series. In one of their articles, this passage caught my attention: "If you're trying to build a weight loss routine that is not too crazy but offers powerful fat loss, you want to look into 36-hour dry fasts once a week. This is a powerful routine that will absolutely change you into a new person over a few months. In a year you won't recognize yourself."

Dry fasting typically results in rapid weight loss, although much of it is water weight initially. The beauty of dry fasting when it comes to fat l...

It made me wonder how accurate this really is, but I'm willing to give it a go. For the next month, I'll be doing at least one 36-hour dry fast per week and will let you know what kind of progress I've made. If things trend in a positive direction (for fat loss), I'll definitely continue beyond that. Caveat lector: Given how much I post about privacy, you won't be surprised by the fact that I won't be posting progress photos. However, I'll let you know how many kilos I've gained or dropped otherwise. #fasting #dryfasting #health #healthstr

Just Polish things. #Poland #Polish

In the last day or two, I've received two zapvertising zaps. The first was for coffee from Latin America, and the most recent was for secure web hosting. I'm not in need of either service at the moment, but believe you me, I'd definitely consider those two before other providers or vendors, simply because they're on Nostr, are using zapvertising, AND are part of the BTC circular economy. #zapvertising

Someone made a BTC vs Vanguard tool, showing your missed opportunity cost if you chose Vanguard instead of just buying Bitcoin. Pretty brilliant tool! View quoted note →

It always boggles my mind why people wouldn't want to set up a lightning address on Nostr. Even if you have zero plans to zap others, why would you turn down free zaps?! View quoted note →

For those using Zoom, GoogleMeet, or the like, do you have a virtual background image or video that you use and would recommend? I've used the stock images on and off for my backgrounds, but it would be nice to have a few other options. Both professional images and comical ones would be acceptable! #asknostr

WhatsApp's new privacy settings allow users control over who can see their profile photos? I'd much prefer anonymous account creation and protection from metadata mining! That's where SimpleX and the like really shine.
