My wife, who is a human, is fluent in japanese. She says these are "powder sheets." Basically, scented baby wipes for your body.

I've said many prayers in the church of iron too, bro.

Ah... "I Am Mother" might be right up your alley then.

Not sure I've seen anything that beats 2001 Space Odysee. T2 and The Matrix are good runners up.

I saw one of those motivational notes on a coworker's desk this week. Can't remember verbatim. But something like:
"To really live, you must risk dying.
So yes, live... But remember you might die trying."

I think it was Rodney Dangerfield who said, "The best thing about babies is making them." God bless the disgusting thing.

Truth. I'd also add lifting and jogging to this, though.

You seem like the kind of person who would appreciate a fire piston. Might add that to your list.

My favorite part was "Right now, bitcoin payments are new." 🤔

I get the feeling my IQ varies. I'll review my day's activities and there was a high of 110. But then there was definitely a low of somewhere around 85.

Arch is the end game of distro hopping for most of us. Beyond that, it's something like gentoo or LFS if you want to dig even deeper into how stuff works. But arch, IMHO, is the best way to build a custom system with minimum hastle, learn how Linux works, and have time left over to read a book or not neglect your children.

"Sovereignty requires effort." I like that. Whenever I talk to friends and associates about this kind of stuff, aside from looking at me like I'm crazy, they tell me they don't have the time to learn about the tools. So I guess the follow up is, "Effort takes time."

Great recommendation. Thank you.
Haven't read the first book and will need to look into it. Might be a little early for them to read Kiyosaki. But not too far off.
I sort of started them on budgeting by keeping a hand written ledger. I give them allowance for completing their chores (also a written tracker).

I saw a video recently similar to this, as a Japanese habit. Every day is a drop in the bucket.

My boys started middle school this year. Along with this began the slightly more serious questions about what they should be when they grow up.
I'm in my 40s now. According to 10yo me, I'm supposed to have all the answers, which is laughable. I have no idea what to tell them. I don't even know whether to recommend college (leaning towards no).
Instead, I started compiling a list of things to learn to prepare for an uncertain future. I figure nostr is a pretty good place to ask for recommended additions/removals/changes to this list.
1. Fluency in higher level mathematics
2. Learn how computers work (learn a programming language, networking, or something)
3. Study history
4. Study and practice leadership
5. Learn some kind of field craft (carpentry, gardening, something that interests)

Good morning, #nostr
Raining and no treadmills available at the gym. Off to a rough start to my #plebchain day.

Good morning nostr. Arms and chest day done. Time for coffee and another day in the plebian life. God bless.

Late post today.
Leg day successfully completed. Coffee consumed. Zyns had. Work day finished.
Time to chill with the family.

Good morning, nostr, from JST. He is risen!

Gm, nostr. Deadlift day. Time to enjoy some coffee and a zyn.

Thanks for fixing this. My first successful bug report. And my first zap. 😊

#AskNostr
When I select Profile and view followed tags, I can only see 11 of 37. #Amethyst doesn't seem to allow further scrolling.
Is there a way to scroll through all followed tags?

Hello, world. Just seeing how this nostr thingy works.
