I am traveling to Chicago to to attend a conference and meet a bunch of people. Will be there for the next 6 days. I would love to meet up with any fellow Bitcoin plebs who happen to be in the area!

Do I know anyone from Austin, TX here on nostr?? I might be considering a move there and have location questions. I hear there's some good Bitcoin culture? Is housing affordable?

Feeling accomplished. I just ripped open my new @msiUSA laptop and added another SSD drive to it. 🧑‍🔧😁 Only some minor case maring. Everything works fine and I now have another 500 GB of local storage.

If anyone out there is interested in trading Bitcoin for a brewery or brewing equipment... we need to talk.

I'm getting interested in potentially running my own relay. I see I can do it through Umbrel, but what are other options? What should I know or be reading? 📚 🤔

Ok, ok, I'm reading The Forth Turning now! 😆

So at this moment I don't know who I'm going to vote for. I'm probably going to vote for RFK Jr. I'm not voting for Trump. I wasn't going to vote Biden. But now... Might the DNC actually put someone else decent up?? Harris seems too close to Biden for me now, so she would really have to distinguish herself well and fast on all the issues. Where has she been the past few years? It feels like I haven't heard from her since she joined the ticket. DNC should go open primary. Now I'm actually going to have to think about my vote again.

Just spun up my secondary node because the network needs me tonight...

I just had to draw a QR code by hand! 😂 That was kinda difficult, but I'm enjoying my Jade so far!

I just learned about Hodl Hodl. Put my first offer up. Still learning about how it all works, but I might really enjoy this site...

I was on the fence about a smash-buy last night. This morning I'm glad I did!

Proof of bread! 🍞 Seriously, real bread is about $8.00 now, and it's really easy and satisfying to just make it myself. I'm going to endeavor to bake bread weekly now because it's just better for my family all around.

Back in the lab Monday morning after the long holiday break, and suddenly it's an emergency that we don't have any Liquid Nitrogen for immediate use??? Come on grad students, give me a day or two... 🤦

I feel like cutting firewood with my son this weekend was the most fun and meaningful thing I've ever done! We both had so much fun!

Even if you are not into fishkeeping, the aquarium test kits are an inexpensive way to check the water quality of your tap water or other drinking water sources. 🚰 I have multiple ways of keeping tabs on my water quality, but I'm often amazed at how easily these little kits tell me when I have an issue.

My grocery store just KYC'd me. OMG, this world you guys...

Someone zapped me 10,000 sats last night, and I have no idea who or why. Thanks!

New to running a Lightning node here. I'm guessing those 0s are a problem?

Today, I'm planning on opening several more Lightning Network channels on my node. I have a few ideas, but I need to do more research. Does anyone have any advice or want to open a channel with me??

At the Mass Adoption Bitcoin meetup currently. Great people here!
