Using nostr to share what I have learned.

I respect that.
EMPs are pretty localized and for a brief period of time though, right? I don’t know much about EMPs.
Even if all your electronics became permanently disabled, you’d still have your seed phrase you can restore from.
Do you other concerns?

GM!
Think your own thoughts and make your own decisions.
Have a great day!

Best horror movies you’ve seen?
I’ll go first.
In no particular order:
Exorcist
As above so below
Terrified (Not Terrifier)
House of a 1000 corpses series
The Ring
Ritual
Wailing
Hell House, LLC series
A lot of South Korean movies
Talk to Me - was pretty solid
Signs - I’ll squeeze in here for the few jump scares have to rewatch and see if it holds up
I distinguish between horror, gruesome, and thriller.
For gruesome/thriller I pile in Terrifier series, Saw series, Parasite, Train to Busan, Halloween series, Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity, etc.
Some of these may not qualify traditionally in these buckets but just doing a quick mind dump. Guaranteed I’m forgetting some.
Unpopular opinion: not a fan of the alien or living dead series. I did like Prometheus though, maybe the cinematography?

I believe the higher quality LED lights with high CRI and R values solves a lot of this with quality of light.
This full spectrum lighting would only really be useful for grow lights and current LED grow lights are designed to have those wavelengths for photosynthesis.

I think this is partially true.
LED’s are just efficient showing only wavelengths you can see.
Traditional halogen and incandescents are just controlled tiny fires. Most of the energy is wasted in heat rather than visible light.
I wouldn’t say LED’s are an inferior product based on that.

Whipping up some healthy ice cream while I get the smoker up and going.

Anyone have any issues updating an email address with @strike?
No way to update myself, have to contact support within the app.
Received a reply today asking for:
- Phone number
- Previous transaction details
- Bank info
- Reason why I’m changing email address
- New email address
These I’m fine with, but they also ask one last item which I’m uncomfortable with:
- Photo of myself, holding an ID, and a hand-written note with my request. (Aka the hostage photo)
I hesitate to send the photo because of data breaches and leaks (for example Twilio data breach less than a week ago). I would prefer to not have even more of my info out there, especially to just update an email address.
I’ve updated email addresses with banks, brokers, and other exchanges in the last week and haven’t had this requirement come up.
Anyone else experience this? Can you help @npub1cn4…3vle ?

Do you think Michael Saylor’s ‘orange check’ plan would work better on Nostr? Seems like a better fit here.
