Happy Gregorian New Year everyone!
I wish more restaurants were food-oriented rather than service-oriented. Everywhere you go there are super friendly, young and attentive white women serving you the same dry french fries expecting a 25% tip. How do I filter yelp for “bad service”?

People who argue onchain fees are rising because or “monkey jpegs” should have their Bitcoin influencer accreditation taken away.
Panelope, my faithful cast iron pan has improved my life in so many unimaginable ways
Always nice to get a bit of engagement from our soon-to-be Al-overlords

Join us for a casual get together at Mahony's Tavern at the Vancouver Convention Centre. This location does accept sats, so let’s all leave our d...
Got myself some wine with sats from Privato. They ship for free within BC and AB!

I have changed my opinion on this topic every few years, but at the moment I believe banking and bitcoin cannot be reconciled and will remain separate networks until one of them dies. There will be synthetic bitcoin on the banking side and synthetic dollars on the bitcoin side.
Nodes are a bit like pets, they need constant attention and love. As fees are remaining high, please take extra care of your node, it might have lost sync to chain or simply wants to be rebooted from time to time.
Great #Lightning meetup in Vancouver tonight. I feel so privileged we can host it at a merchant that takes sats, and yet it should be the norm 

Midweek BBQ, putting my sauce to good use with these 4h slow cooked beef ribs. #foodstr 

Woah the new @ZEUS looks incredible

Happy Fall to everyone!
I hope you had a fantastic end of your summer and are ready for Vancouvers wonderful weather we'll be enjoying for the next...
Thanks to BTCPay, zaps should finally show up in my posts, without having to use a custodial wallet! Love it!
TIL Charlie Chaplin was English and forced to leave the United States in 1952 and barred from re-entry as a suspected communist. He died in Switzerland 25 years later.
Got myself a new laptop, of course paid with sats! Even I’m surprised at the smooth Bitpay experience. Lightning’s success appears pretty inevitable once you start using it
