The memory carried on the smell of wet grass hit her hard. Dad had mowed the lawn every weekend, but that particular Saturday after it rained the night before had been the one that stuck to her. Maybe it was because of how frustrated he'd been. Every couple of feet he'd get stuck in the mangy wet grass and have to shove the mower with his foot. On every pass he'd tip the thing over to scrape the collected muck out of the bottom. The whole job usually only took him ten minutes, the yard wasn't all that big, but that time it took him over an hour. She'd watched him from her second story room, face in her hands, elbows on the sill. The whole scene played clear as the day it happened any time she encountered the smell. Mom walked back in from the hallway bathroom. "You alright?" 'I guess." Joan turned from the open window. "The grass." Mom pushed a lock of gray-white hair back behind her ear. Joan took a seat at the kitchen table. "Yeah."

How do Keynesians square this? 1. Inflation is transitory 2. We are trying to target X inflation 🙃🫠

Stack SATs for your last name, not your first.

I've gotten this question a few times: "How can I orange pill people?" My answer: "You can't. All you can do is better educate yourself so that when people come to you with questions you have answers, or know where to send them."

I'm so glad I learned about Bitcoin when I did. If I had bought 100s or 1000s of coins for pennies back in the early days there's no chance I would have held.

Stack for your last name; not your first.

What's the best desktop nostr client?

If you build it, they will come.

I block prompted tweets so fast. You're paying to be erased from my universe. Thanks, I think?

The nostr bots are getting bad. Is there some way to stop them?

I've spoken with multiple people all over the age of 40 (some over 60) and asked them a series of questions that led to: "Why isn't Bitcoin part of your investments?" The answers vary, but can be summed thus: 'What I have is working, why change it?'

Zap SATs and Slap ass

If you had any doubt of the rot that is a fiat standard, spent 5min in Twitter and note the ads. Not just how many, but what is being sold. Chuck-E-Cheese prize wall tier trash.

Working

I've been giving the whole idea of voting with your wallet/feet a lot of thought. I've come to the conclusion that I can't live in two worlds at once. If I want to channel the American spirit I don't get to stay in Britain (the current realm) AND be free. What this means to me, in the digital realm, is I have to make some choices. What happened today with Damus and Swan is what locked this thought in for me. I want nostr to work, but I never use it. I'm over here "ya! freedom! Down with centralization!" and checking Twitter every time I take a piss or have 30 spare seconds. I think the answer, for now, is to use both. The digital realm offers us that opportunity.

Stop storing your food in plastic.

This is a test to see if my zaps are working.
