So I might've just injured myself... A nurse on the phone was saying "go to the ER" and I'm like 😒 that seems excessive. I was practicing with my new scooter, which is a way of riding I've never done cuz its the standing kind, like a skateboard with handles, and I crashed.

So weird, like a line going straight down my middle, and tingling or numb everywhere from one eyebrow to my toes. Its still tingly, but not as much. I don't think I'm going to the ER.

And not just DMs - privacy is currently backwards : currently the general rule is, you get the privacy you're willing to pay for ; it should be, you get paid to let go of your #privacy selectively. This should exist, and it should run on #nostr.

I've been saying it since I first grokked bitcoin - its success and our adoption of it is a matter of national security. And hey, someone who matters seems to agree. View quoted note →

So I'm noticing something... After drinking hot chocolate made from scratch (no nasty packets!), I have less aches in my body. That crick in the neck I woke up with is almost gone, that spot on my back that is otherwise a constant pain... I'm feeling relaxed, almost like I hit a joint. I'm about to interrogate an AI about this. View quoted note →
