I don’t think tipping should be expected at places that use this system. No one says hello when you sit down. No one takes your order. No one (employee) talks to you. Someone just hands you your food/drink.
How is this different than a worker at Burger King with respect to tipping? They are all just tipped food runners. https://image.nostr.build/0b3d35e7316379c0e735dcae24d06fec78425650e1614e5e8eb260911a08cd4c.jpg

I think good nutrition and diet are manufactured to be complex for nefarious and indolent motivations.
Nefarious on account of promoting fad diets is a relatively easy way to turn a buck. Especially if you’re an attractive individual in the context of social media “influencers”
Indolent because most of us shy away from applying any effort to determine what works and would rather just be told what to eat.
I propose it’s far simpler, both in terms of content and execution.
1. Eat foods at the perimeter of the grocery store and stay away from those in the middle. Said another way - eat whole foods and avoid processed ones*
2. Eat when you’re hungry
*yes, I know this is cost prohibitive for many given the effects of our fiat based economy

In five years Saylor and the loudest mouthpieces at Bitcoin Magazine will be leading the charge to increase block size. They’ll say it’s needed to accommodate all the great new things (spam) they’ve put on chain.
They’ll reduce the decentralization by making impractical for plebs to run a node.
They’ll claim it’s for the better for #bitcoin when what they really care about it ROI.

2024-05-02 11:31:23 UTC

So Saylor’s plan to fight spam is to spam the nodes. 🙄
The orange check service looks to require a centralized server so inscribing to the chain is gratuitous.
This is shitcoins coming to Bitcoin. The comments on X are ridiculous.
