"A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight."
My kid just asked if she should buy more. I was like "Hell yes!"
"But I just bought a shit load! What if it drops more?"
"Then don't buy."
"But it's never been this low since I first started buying."
"Then buy more."
"Do you think it's gonna go lower?"

Trying to figure out what the heck kind of connector is on this Meshtastic when I find this gem:
"Wi-Fi equipment manufacturers have widely used RP-SMA connectors to comply with specific national regulations, such as those from the FCC, which are designed to prevent consumers from connecting antennas that provide additional gain and therefore breach Part 15 compliance. However, by 2000, the FCC regarded the connectors as readily available, though delaying its ruling indefinitely. As of 2018, leading manufacturers such as Netgear and Linksys are still using RP-SMA connectors on their Wi-Fi equipment."
The radio industry definitely doesn't have enough antenna connector types. We should try to double it to say, 300 million 🤡

Is there anything better to stress test a phone's WiFi connection than a podcast?
What bitrate are these guys using anyway, 768kbps?
Who's the bigger liar, a politician or the WiFi signal strength icon on a phone?
On-chain fee estimates don't seem very accurate. Wallet said 3 sat/vB was high, I bumped it to 4, and still waiting for a confirmation 40 minutes later...
Thank God for Lightning 🤦♀️
Someone combine a Bitaxe with a not hideous table lamp so I can get the wife to buy one for every room 🤣

As long as my paycheck is a fixed quantity of fiat, not sure it makes much sense to buy goods or services priced in a fixed quantity of sats.
Sure, the long game is get paid a fixed quantity of sats but until you reach that goal, you're just paying an ever increasing price for the same good or service.
I thought "everything" is supposed to fall in Bitcoin terms, not just the purchasing power of my paycheck.
When you stop and think about it, it seems like an insult to UK taxpayers that the MoD would even employ the kind of people who need reminders like these. Then again, if it's prioritizing 'carbon footprint' over its primary mission, the very MoD itself starts to seem like an insult to taxpayers.

It would be nice if a client could hide reposts of a note you've already zapped or reposted yourself so your feed isn't full of reposts of the same note.

That's better than my initial thought of get someone to invent a set of wireless USB-C dongles 🤣
Me on the path to figuring out how this Meshtastic stuff works 🤣
I gotta stop watching NotaRubicon's videos.

Look at that, I'm a trend-setter after all! 🤣
Actually, for me it was diet change more than financial hardship.
Once you commit to Keto, you realize the dine-out juice just isn't worth the squeeze.

50-year mortgage on a house that was built 50 years ago means you're gonna need money set aside to repair and replace things like quest plumbing and stab-in 120V receptacles. Never mind all the aesthetic upgrades that the better half will try to bankrupt you with 🤣
Own nothing? ✅
Be happy? 🤡
