For those of you who don't have LinkedIn anymore, when you're applying for jobs, what do you put in the LinkedIn address field when it's required to have a profile? If I can get work without having to have a LinkedIn anymore, I'd like to do that.

I understand stacking sats, but I also want to make sure I'm stacking letters.

I just left Andrew Tate’s The Real World after being there for almost two years. I’m not sure how I feel. Kind of freeing, kind of sad. Released.

I paid my rent for next month. In Bitcoin. 🎉 I'm glad the tech is available that enabled that ability (Strike Wallet). I didn't want to spend any of it, but I had to, and I'm glad I could.

Writing by hand effectively is vital to learning, communication, and being able to think and analyze for yourself. It's something I cannot get enough of. I write by hand when: - Researching at the computer - Detailing dates, times, locations, and odd observations in log books - Creating "morning pages" - Brainstorming - I need to vent - I'm thinking of missed loved ones and missed connections - I trace the Arabic letters of the Quran - Keeping key reminders during presentations - Making a list of things I must do the next day Writing by hand is your connection. Without it, life begins to fall apart.

Generation Z is losing a skill we’ve had for 5,500 years: 40% are losing the ability to communicate effectively

A University of Stavanger survey reveals that almost 40% of Generation Z struggle with functional handwriting¹, threatening the cognitive deve...

Severe storms blew through last night. The alert on my phone said “severe” for flash flooding. A little while later, another alert ranked as “severe”. BASEBALL-SIZE HAIL was in all caps. In both cases there were no cautions to stay home but instead direct orders to take immediate cover. It’s rare they label these warnings as “severe” here. Trying to fall asleep and looking at the sky, all I saw were flashes. Constant flashes. With the wind and the torrential downpour, my instincts spoke one word that I dread: tornado. The last time the sky looked that way, my son and I were living in my van, parked at an RV park in the Florida Panhandle. We had the choice of staying in the van or fleeing to the little bunkhouse for “shelter.” It was mostly made of glass. With one bar of cell signal, my friends at the time were trying to tell me about its path. It was after midnight. You couldn’t see it and the radar on the phone weather app wasn’t working. On its approach two miles coming directly at us, it split from one into two. Both strands went about a mile around on each either side of us. A miracle. A pure miracle if you ask me. But I never forgot the sky or how I felt. As I laid in my bed last night, I tried mentally prepare myself for baseball-sized hail crushing my van, and along with it any options of getting to a new job or training for a new job that I’ve been trying to get but don’t yet have. I tried to stop my mind from haggling with insurance adjusters that don’t exist. My text to my son indicated he as already home when the storm hit. He hadn’t gone out with his friends. Howls. Torrential rain. Flashes upon flashes through the curtain. This morning, I found that we were under a tornado watch and then a warning. I didn’t want to look last night. Like in the van, there was no place else to go or be or to flee to. Being scared wouldn’t have helped. Had things had gotten louder, I would have taken the dog and we would have sheltered in the bathtub with me, but it didn’t. I slept well. According to the reports, there might be more of that today.

After my aggressive job search while seeking technical writing roles (I'm up to around 500 applications into mostly technical writing and related content/documentation positions), I'm seeking assistance for job search resources at my local Texas Workforce Solutions office. I'm glad I went as their only goal is to get you employed full-time. They have innumerable resources available to the job seeker, two specific ones I hope pan out. Don't be afraid to seek out local job hunt sources at your local employment/ unemployment offices. You might be surprised by what you find!

I canceled my Alby subscription and my Alby account. Posting from Yakihonne as a test. I set up a Coinos wallet but it looks like I did that wrong, and now their website isn't loading? 👀 I'll try this all again another day.

Just to confirm: There is no other way to send or receive sats over NOSTR other than opening up lightning channels in some way, shape, or form, is that correct?
