Ever wonder how Gillette is able to keep China from flooding the US with knock-off Venus and Fusion blades? 🤨

Ambulance worker on the scanner said "The patient is hollerin' and carryin' on" God bless the South 😂

Nostr clients are magical. Every time you open one, some meatspace nag comes asking for something. See y'all tomorrow. I hope.

Could A.I. be used by plebs to repay lawfare with lawfare? 🤔

Eight hours later and the funds still aren't back in my on-chain wallet. Does Alby require you to "manually trigger the sweep?" "If Nothing Happens If your wallet hasn't automatically swept the funds after several confirmations: Some wallets require you to manually trigger the sweep (check settings or support docs) Contact your LSP's support - they may need to provide guidance specific to their implementation Ensure your wallet is online and synced to detect and claim the output The 2-week warning in the LSP's message is the worst-case scenario if you had force closed, but that shouldn't apply here."

What's the minimum number of lightning channels for a consumer node? I had two on Alby Hub. One got closed but zaps still not working. I guess the other one was just for looks. Starting to think Alby isn't worth the subscription.

Stephen Heinz Turns Cheap Solar Marine Buoys Into Solar-Powered Meshtastic Nodes Cheap solar-powered marine lights can live a new life as housings for solar-charged battery-backed Meshtastic LoRa nodes. https://www.hackster.io/news/stephen-heinz-turns-cheap-solar-marine-buoys-into-solar-powered-meshtastic-nodes-6146f726a8b4

Somebody tell Bezos more people would select the no-rush shipping option if instead of credit toward a crappy digital product you don't want, Amazon rewarded you in sats.

Tapped a little too close to the upper left corner and it kicked me out of the Meshtastic app back to the app store. WTF iOS has changed so much since my last one in 2013 it gives me a mini panic attack whenever my wife hands me hers.

Meshtastic device suggestion: a physical switch, key combo, or long-press that allows you to lock and unlock the buttons to prevent accidental presses. Also, if you're selling nodes that have the USB charging port on the end of the device opposite the antenna connector (Meshnology Heltec V3), some sort of 90 degree elbow antenna adapter might be a nice accessory to add to the kit, assuming it's necessary to keep the node's antenna vertical during charging.

Based on nothing more than the horror stories I've heard about the software used by government employees at all levels, I'm comfortable predicting that whatever A.I. solution gets implemented by a local, state or federal agency, it's gonna take a non-negligible number of humans to fix all of the problems it will cause. "Why do we clean our weapons so often, Drill Sergeant?" "Because they were made by the lowest bidder, rock head!" 🤣 nostr:nevent1qqs9a8fp2mtqe69pr6c05uw4yjwy5v7mr6elfcktkunpdfvx4kv5gucpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygzd0ppq29uzurflavp569g2ms4khtjwuw6f0pne80l6g69k7kukkvpsgqqqqqqs2am26x
