For most of us, this is a few friends, some family, and maybe a few dozen acres of geography, if that. Anything you don&#39;t observe yourself is only as trusted as the source (so Aunt Patty spewing whatever was on TV news - complete bullshit, and Aunt Patty probably shouldn&#39;t be in your circle of trust.)<br/>2) Even if you hear something true, there is fuckall you can do about it. This where area of influence comes in hard and heavy. You might relay information, but that is not really useful outside of your CoT. You can send money, but better than fair chance, that money won&#39;t get to where you were hoping, or have the impact you were hoping it would, if the problem is even legit and the solution is money, both of which are often enough false. Unless the problem is directly affecting those in your CoT/AoI, chances are the best thing you can do to react is nothing at all.<br/>3) So what CAN we do? Don&#39;t react, prepare. Assume all possibilities you hear (and even ones you imagine or dream) are true, and prepare for those. This isn&#39;t necessarily prepper shit, buying bottled water and tubs of shitty &#34;food&#34;. This means preparing for a reality where you may need to harvest your own resources, purify water, hunt, etc. And if you stockpile, you may need to defend - so stockpiling may not be your best preparation. I think the best preparations are learning new skills, and doing the mental work necessary. Keeping your mind in a healthy state of readiness. Assess your threats and your ability to respond to those threats, and make adjustments where practical. Your threats could easily be from within your CoT/AoI, so you must assess those as well - and make adjustments.<br/>4) Preparing isn&#39;t about reacting; it is about acting first, every day. If you live in a state of preparation and action, others will notice. You may gain their respect; or worse, their dependence. But you can mask some of your preparation, if you are careful.<br/>5) Some things I did to prepare - bought, then learned how to ride, amotorcycle. I see mobility as an issue in most adverse circumstances. If I can commandeer any vehicle, from a quad or dirtbike to a dump truck or fishing boat, my mobility options increase. I should also learn how to properly ride a horse, although I&#39;ve never been a fan of horses. Smaller motored vehicles take less gas and need less roads. Horses need neither, but do need to be fed. Or they can be food, I suppose. I also bought a diesel truck. Utility, power, and I bet I&#39;ll find diesel sources long after gas is gone. I also wanted to learn more about diesel engines, and keep up on manual transmissions, hadn&#39;t had one in a while.I bet anyone that saw me buy the bike and truck just thought mid-life crisis. This is the masking. Bitcoin is part of preparation, and so is gold, some cash, bullets. But more important than having them is knowing when and how to use them, and how to hide them. Nostr is also a preparation, because this is at its roots a communications system that can be implemented over any network. A relay can be on your phone. Your phone can be on wifi, which can be on a LAN, which can be expanded over satelite, radio, LoRa, whatever. There&#39;s also a ton of information here that could be valuable, even if it is historic rather than contemporary. I think Wiki projects are important, as would be any cataloguing of information, recipes, 3d prints, whatever.<br/><br/>Paranoid? Not at all. I don&#39;t believe anything bad will necessarily happen. The point of my preparation is just readiness, for whatever may happen, good or bad. Learn. Act. Conceal. Prepare. Frankie MacDonald and the Boy Scouts weren&#39;t wrong about being prepared.<br/><br/>Then you can laugh! Most of what you see is comedy, farce, manufactured drama, and complete horseshit. Laugh at it! This is how you remove its power over you. Don&#39;t take things so seriously, because you know that you have already prepared for far worse, and will likely experience far better. Yes, by preparing, you become free to enjoy the better outcomes, the good times, the relief.<br/><br/>There is no single thing that is more important than the mental and emotional fortitude and attitude of constant learning and assessment. Be ready for the worst, and hope for the best! If nothing happens, which often happens, at least you will have learned some things, done some things, and probably met some good people along the way. This is living your best life.<br/><br/>Learning things doesn&#39;t have to cost money, although I don&#39;t regret any money I&#39;ve spent on learning things. It is all attitude and the desire to learn; if you want to know something, you will find a way to learn it eventually, even if it does end up costing you.<br/><br/>Do. 2024-11-26T04:27:14Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2htfw3mafq2lym87dsqyg634kmmtuqw6th543kggrmsxmlrw24ugzyptvch90rhwnzgv9jy8fhsrnrd992xty2w6rl7j329xu82lltvlvzzvgr9f Ge nostr.<br/><br/>Whatever your plan may be, whatever you are thinking happens next...<br/><br/>It often doesn&#39;t work out that way.<br/><br/>Don&#39;t believe the hype. 2024-11-26T02:47:21Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp54ulr657l4y2gfdlkzve8h6sw62qfn36j6wspv2emcusf2r73pgzyptvch90rhwnzgv9jy8fhsrnrd992xty2w6rl7j329xu82lltvlvzr86y8l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg2jehjfwat4pngmv8x6g63ktmxtnhhrse4ketfqfhakygva6m9xg6q5n7z'>nevent1q…5n7z</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Personal debt.

Will I ever not be obese? Time will tell. Will I ever not be addictes to sugar? I doubt it. <br/><br/>I will say that oils were not that hard to give up. I assume that I still consume some when dining out, but not enough to matter. I&#39;ve definitely experienced benefits directly related to not having oils in my diet, including a much higher resistance to sunburn.<br/><br/>I was reflecting today on how many ways people poison themselves, gladly, in the name of health. I don&#39;t care if someone wants to eat a plant. Sure, they are ingesting whatever plant toxins it has, but hopefully in a very low amount compared to what may cause harm. I think processed &#34;foods&#34; are possibly the worst offenders, along with &#34;supplements&#34;. Saw a jar or powder claiming &#34;Fiber - with real sugar!&#34;. To me, that reads &#34;cardboard, with real cocaine!&#34;. And to be fair, cocaine might be preferable, and do less damage! People consume this shit because the govt and pharma tells them so, and poison themselves as a result.<br/><br/>So go ahead, eat some berries. Maybe some lettuce or a cucumber or whatever. I choose not to, but you do you. If you&#39;re not a sugar addict, maybe have some honey once in a while. But don&#39;t eat shit out of boxes, plastic bottles, etc. Your food should be recognizable as its ingredients.

It seemed complete enough I decided to share the result.<br/><br/>I think it is interesting that apparently our eyes are accustomed to seeing rectangles. Moreso that rectangles are rare in nature. That must be recent. Maybe it is that we associate modernity as being in opposition to nature, so unnatural shapes such as rectangles fit with our conception of modernity, which we have been trained to value as good. Obviously there is a lot there. And now I&#39;m considering tall vs. wide rectangles.<br/><br/>Imagine that the television could be seen as a window into someone else&#39;s life. Windows are rectangles, in most construction. Also imagine the television as a visual adaptation of a stage, which is framed as a rectangle by floor and curtains.

This is because the manufacturing process involves cutting and shaping glass or plastic to fit a rectangular frame, which is simpler and more cost-effective than creating a curved or round shape.<br/>2. **Aspect ratio and content**: Most TV content, including movies and TV shows, is shot and edited with a rectangular aspect ratio in mind. This means that the majority of programming is designed to fill a rectangular screen, making a round screen unnecessary.<br/>3. **Geometry and viewing**: Rectangular screens are more efficient for displaying rectangular shapes, such as text and graphics, which are common in TV programming. Additionally, the human eye is more accustomed to viewing rectangular shapes, making them a more pleasing and intuitive format for TV viewing.<br/>4. **Historical development**: Early CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) TVs were initially round due to manufacturing limitations, but as technology improved, designers shifted to rectangular shapes to maximize screen area and reduce waste.<br/>5. **Practicality and design**: Rectangular screens provide a more stable and durable design, with fewer corners and edges to compromise the display&#39;s structural integrity. This is particularly important for large screens and heavy CRT TVs.<br/><br/>While there have been experiments with round and curved screens, such as the Sony Trinitron WEGA KV-32FS12 (2002) and the Samsung &#34;The Frame&#34; (2017), these designs have not gained widespread adoption due to the factors mentioned above.<br/><br/>In summary, the combination of economic, practical, and design considerations has led to the widespread adoption of rectangular TV screens, making them the standard for the industry. 2024-11-07T04:29:24Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd7mqfczxg6nhdnpq5evz8hsahs3jy9nsx0frd6sdaw9lase306hszyptvch90rhwnzgv9jy8fhsrnrd992xty2w6rl7j329xu82lltvlvzfncxf5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdul06cay5znynkwldu830zf2fzf2yw8vdj84688u8f7lgpducgjcwt7fmu'>nevent1q…7fmu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>So much for not wanting a technical solution. <br/><br/>- Changed the notification for texts to something else so I would hear them different from emails (which I tend to ignore on my phone, since I see them on my computer)<br/><br/>- Figured out a text forwarder that takes my wife&#39;s texts and emails them to me.

Some of this may be seasonal, interestingly enough. I think I&#39;m normally pretty good at getting things done. And it feels like that is slipping, like I &#39;m doing the bare minimum, if even that.<br/><br/>At times I can tell myself I deserve a break or it&#39;s nice to relax a bit, but it stiil just feels lazy, and not good enough. Is everything handled? Sure, I suppose. But I know I could do more.<br/><br/>This is a bad illustration of that. I told my wife at the end last month that I quit Facebook, deleted the app off my phone. That is mostly true, the account is still there because of a long story that pisses me off, but Meta won&#39;t let me delete it. I told her to text me instead of using Messenger (her go-to for all communication). She was annoyed, but went along.<br/><br/>Today I didn&#39;t look at my cell phone between maybe right when I got up (6 am) and when I quit working (after 5pm). She had texted twice (two different topics, several texts throughout the day). I didn&#39;t see them until after I had welcomed her home from work (I work from home, she gets home around 4pm). The first topic, she had eventually resolved herself. The second, she is also taking care of.<br/><br/>Now I&#39;m pretty sure she&#39;s pissed at me. And I get that. This morning I got up at 6a, set up some stuff for work that ran all day, and started gaming (Ark). I did see her before she left for work and wished her a good day (which happens maybe 10% of days). Then I gamed and worked (mostly gamed, checked work emails and messages a few times) all day. Checked on what had been running all day at the end of the day, it wasn&#39;t done, so set it to run all night. Yes, a really easy day at work.<br/><br/>I don&#39;t like cell phones. Don&#39;t like that I am instantly interruptible. But I have to balance that against my wife&#39;s &#34;needs&#34;, and one of those is the need to feel heard and supported. I didn&#39;t make her feel that way today.<br/><br/>With FB Messenger, I had a desktop client that would alert me on the computer when she messaged. Not so much with texts. So I&#39;m sure she is blaming my leaving Facebook, and equating it with leaving her. I can see that.<br/><br/>And I don&#39;t think that this needs a technical solution. I think it needs a mindset solution, or a good talk-through with her, probably both.<br/><br/>But back to the original concept. I feel like I&#39;m not doing enough, even here. Maybe I should be checking my phone more. Maybe I shouldn&#39;t be so distracted by gaming. Maybe I should have done more around the house today. Maybe I should have done something nice for my wife.<br/><br/>There&#39;s plenty of emotions here. Guilt is one of them, actually more than one of them, as there are multiple guilt elements. One you didn&#39;t think about - I can feel guilty I have an easy day of work. Hard to even call it work. <br/><br/>No immediate good resolutions here. This isn&#39;t something that is easy to fix. There may be simple solutions, but they aren&#39;t easy.<br/><br/>And this is why I nostr. So I can write all this out, which forces me to explore it, accept it, manifest it all in a way. If you&#39;ve gotten this far or even if you skipped to the end, I appreciate you.

I did budgeting, again in the standard fiat sense, taking my monthly fiat mine income, deducting my monthly expenses from it, and based decisions on whatever was left over each month.<br/><br/>Now I&#39;m rethinking this. I&#39;m looking at total net worth, total savings, ratio of savings to net worth, total expendable, total monthly liability, and months of runway, all in bitcoin terms.

I&#39;ve come to many of the same conclusions over the past few years, although I have found that by not ingesting sugar and staying as low-carb as possible, I don&#39;t have the need to ingest a filler such as fiber, and the satiety I get from meat is enough to get me through to the next meal, which is often the next day. <br/><br/>You seem quick to ridicule carnivore diets, while apparently agreeing with much of the reasoning behind them. I&#39;m not sure where that is coming from, possibly the cultism of its adherents?<br/><br/>I&#39;ve already lost about half of the weight I was needing to lose to acheive a BMI of 26, where I believe I will start to see the changes I am looking for. I doubt I would see those changes at a higher BMI. My current BMI is 37. My end goal is actually 24.<br/><br/>I would challenge that sugar addiction is the primary cause of premature death and misery in our later years. This includes complications of obesity, as well as heart disease, cancer, and dementia.<br/><br/>Having put my nicotine addiction to rest for now, and hopefully for good, I am now focused on my sugar addiction. Thank you for further validating my conviction. 2024-10-17T01:22:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfjxg3gjd4cytldjzr9macqs2d3pcrxq94ljq3fevgz05xkj4fp2szyptvch90rhwnzgv9jy8fhsrnrd992xty2w6rl7j329xu82lltvlvzrpqp66 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfdst8ar3v8lhkxrs692dk9sc35h6pwh9sl48408v7rl7v0jj3pcq2npxws'>nevent1q…pxws</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ok, I think this captures enough of what you&#39;ve commented. Must be a touchy subject for you. I never said nourish. I also didn&#39;t say anything about eating more or less.<br/><br/>I am morbidly obese. It is one of several goals to correct this, but secondary to other health factors. Adding fiber to my diet, or whey protein, do not seem to me to be a way of safely doing so. I also don&#39;t think eating &#34;more&#34; is a great idea.<br/><br/>So, as I asked politely, how do adding fiber and whey protein fuel and replenish your body while allowing for safe weight loss?<br/><br/> 2024-10-15T23:53:42Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8ldasvq6rd5s45txy46wg677au5ejklz2tl0z9yjxe2trg60wjgqzyptvch90rhwnzgv9jy8fhsrnrd992xty2w6rl7j329xu82lltvlvzsmhqk5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0mecfzp4wljcmj5mrjlty6l5uc2her5fc7l80j2yswvj3fm5lmagq2qdn4'>nevent1q…qdn4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This doesn&#39;t make sense to me - it seems you are basically eating something with close to zero nutritional benefit, just (I assume) to feel full and trick your body into starving itself to lose weight?
