I cook it in the air fryer, both steak and jalapenos exactly like this for about 12 minutes. I like the semi cooked jalapenos slices with each bite, kind of like chips to me, little added texture and heat. I may have overdid it in this picture because this is two jalapenos, my mouth was on fire and my eyes were watery. It makes the drippings spicy.

How Bitcoin Can Succeed Through the Lens of Machiavelli's "The Prince": Practical Steps for Everyday Individuals
Niccolò Machiavelli's "The Prince" offers insights into power dynamics, leadership, and strategy that can be applied to the success of Bitcoin in the competitive landscape of cryptocurrency. By aligning Bitcoin's principles with Machiavellian strategies, both the cryptocurrency and its users can thrive. Here’s how Bitcoin can succeed through key concepts from "The Prince," along with practical steps for individuals to implement these ideas.
1. The Ends Justify the Means
How to Do It:
Focus on Long-Term Goals: When investing in Bitcoin, prioritize long-term growth over short-term gains. Develop a clear investment strategy that aligns with your financial goals, even if it requires patience during market fluctuations.
Support Strategic Initiatives: Advocate for and invest in projects that enhance Bitcoin’s infrastructure, such as scalability solutions or security improvements, even if they require significant resources or time.
Be Pragmatic: Understand that the cryptocurrency landscape is competitive. Be willing to adapt your strategies based on market conditions and emerging technologies to ensure Bitcoin remains relevant.
2. It Is Better to Be Feared Than Loved
How to Do It:
Promote Bitcoin’s Security Features: Emphasize Bitcoin’s robust security and decentralization to instill confidence among users and investors. Highlight its resistance to censorship and fraud as key selling points.
Manage Public Perception: Engage in proactive communication to counter negative narratives about Bitcoin. Use social media and community forums to share success stories and educate others about its benefits.
Establish Authority: Support and promote thought leaders and experts in the Bitcoin community who can articulate its value and defend it against criticism, thereby enhancing Bitcoin's reputation.
3. Know When to Be a Fox and When to Be a Lion
How to Do It:
Be Cunning in Strategy: Stay informed about market trends and competitor movements. Use this knowledge to make strategic decisions, such as when to buy or sell Bitcoin, or when to engage in discussions about its value.
Adapt to Circumstances: Be flexible in your approach to investing. If market conditions change, be prepared to adjust your strategy accordingly, whether that means holding, buying more, or diversifying your investments.
Utilize Deception Wisely: While honesty is important, understand the psychological aspects of investing. Use strategic communication to highlight Bitcoin’s strengths while downplaying its weaknesses, especially in discussions with skeptics.
4. The Importance of a Strong Military (or Community)
How to Do It:
Build a Supportive Network: Engage with the Bitcoin community by joining forums, attending meetups, and participating in discussions. A strong network can provide support, information, and resources.
Advocate for Bitcoin Adoption: Promote Bitcoin to friends, family, and colleagues. The more people understand and use Bitcoin, the stronger its position in the market will be.
Contribute to Development: If you have technical skills, consider contributing to Bitcoin-related projects or open-source initiatives. Supporting the development of Bitcoin’s infrastructure strengthens the entire ecosystem.
5. The Role of Fortune
How to Do It:
Prepare for Market Volatility: Understand that the cryptocurrency market can be unpredictable. Develop a risk management strategy that includes setting stop-loss orders or diversifying your investments to mitigate potential losses.
Stay Informed: Keep abreast of news and developments that could impact Bitcoin’s value, such as regulatory changes or technological advancements. Being informed allows you to act quickly when opportunities arise.
Embrace Opportunities: Be ready to seize opportunities when they present themselves, whether it’s a dip in Bitcoin’s price for buying or a chance to participate in community initiatives that promote Bitcoin.
Conclusion
By applying the principles from Machiavelli's "The Prince," Bitcoin can enhance its chances of success in the competitive cryptocurrency landscape. Everyday individuals can also leverage these insights to navigate the complexities of Bitcoin investment effectively. Focusing on long-term goals, promoting Bitcoin’s strengths, adapting strategies, building a supportive community, and preparing for market volatility are all critical components of a successful approach. As Bitcoin continues to evolve, these Machiavellian strategies can guide both the cryptocurrency and its users toward a more resilient and prosperous future.

Niccolò Machiavelli, a Renaissance political philosopher, is best known for his work "The Prince," which offers insights into political power, leadership, and human nature. Here are ten key lessons derived from Machiavelli's writings:
The Ends Justify the Means: Machiavelli famously argued that rulers may need to engage in morally questionable actions if those actions serve the greater good of the state. The effectiveness of a leader is often judged by their results rather than their methods.
It Is Better to Be Feared Than Loved: While being loved is ideal, Machiavelli believed that fear is a more reliable means of maintaining control. A ruler should strive to be respected and feared, but not hated.
Know When to Be a Fox and When to Be a Lion: Machiavelli emphasized the importance of adaptability in leadership. A successful ruler must be cunning like a fox to recognize traps and strong like a lion to scare off wolves.
The Importance of Appearances: Machiavelli stressed that perception is crucial in politics. A ruler should appear virtuous, even if they must act immorally behind the scenes. Maintaining a good public image is essential for political stability.
Understand Human Nature: Machiavelli believed that humans are inherently self-interested and driven by desires. A wise ruler must understand these motivations to effectively govern and manipulate public opinion.
The Role of Fortune: While Machiavelli acknowledged the role of luck (or fortune) in success, he argued that a skilled leader can shape their destiny through preparation and decisive action.
The Necessity of Military Might: A strong military is essential for maintaining power and protecting the state. Machiavelli believed that a ruler should prioritize military readiness and the loyalty of their troops.
Avoiding Hatred: While fear can be a useful tool, Machiavelli warned that a ruler should avoid actions that incite hatred among the populace. A ruler who is hated risks rebellion and instability.
The Value of Pragmatism: Machiavelli advocated for a pragmatic approach to governance, where leaders make decisions based on practical considerations rather than ideological beliefs or moral principles.
The Importance of Adaptability: Political circumstances can change rapidly, and a successful ruler must be willing to adapt their strategies and policies in response to new challenges and opportunities.
These lessons reflect Machiavelli's realistic and often cynical view of politics, emphasizing the complexities of power and the necessity of strategic thinking in leadership.

The funny thing is I was looking to buy a pair earlier and then I asked one of my family members if they had an extra set of headphones, they left the room and returned with a set of wireless earbuds. The universe delivers again. 🙏

Zap.stream | I streamed for 94 minutes, paid 937.175 SATs to stream, as a newbie, super easy, and made about 10,000 SATs. So it took approximately a ten percent cut to Livestream for this round. But if Nostr grows, this percentage could go down. Plus zap.stream is currently giving out a starter amount. So it helps you build, then you can work from your own SATs made during Livestreams. Essentially it's free to start.

I'm super stoked because the first recording for SoupBox is pretty decent for my first solo long form audio interview. The sound quality is not bad. I edited out some dead air and random ums and likes that were not connected to a sentence. There is still a lot of need to practice not saying so many ums or like. At one point we were really flowing with the conversation so that made me sound more relaxed. The conversation was very reciprocal. My first guest was perfect because they were in it as much as I was, and they knew some bizarre facts. This podcast is fun, while I'm editing I'm learning more about tidbits in the world. This is so exciting to me! I want to interview you all, and it doesn't matter if you only make steak everyday or you own fifty companies. I really just want to sit down with you and have a chat over a snack, a cup of coffee, or a bowl of soup while the mic is recording. I'm obsessed with podcasts.
Anyways, I am feeling super grateful for Nostr. It is nice to have people have the same kind of love for life and understand my brain or openness to letting me be myself.
I love you all. Night xo

Thank you universe for this random find in the freezer. I wasn't even looking and was watching a family member cook burgers, they were looking for bread, digging through the freezer, and all of sudden a sack of kids ice cream cups were unveiled. It's a miracle. I don't need my drive thru convenience store after all.

This week's tarot reading:
In this ten-card tarot spread, the cards reveal a complex narrative about emotional introspection, relationships, and the pursuit of balance. The current position, represented by the Four of Cups, suggests a state of contemplation and dissatisfaction. You may be feeling disconnected from your surroundings, possibly overwhelmed by emotional options or opportunities that seem unappealing. This card indicates a need for self-reflection and a reassessment of what truly brings you joy and fulfillment.
Blocking this current position is the Two of Cups, which signifies the importance of relationships and partnerships. This card suggests that a significant connection or the potential for a meaningful relationship is being overlooked or not fully appreciated. The presence of this card indicates that the key to overcoming your current emotional stagnation lies in recognizing and nurturing your relationships. It may be time to open your heart and engage with those around you, as they could provide the support and connection you need to move forward.
The atmosphere surrounding you is represented by the Eight of Wands, a card of swift movement and progress. This suggests that changes are on the horizon, and events may unfold rapidly. The energy of this card encourages you to embrace the momentum and be open to new opportunities. However, the underlying influence of Justice indicates a need for fairness, balance, and accountability in your actions and decisions. This card serves as a reminder to consider the consequences of your choices and to seek harmony in your relationships and endeavors.
Looking to the past, the Six of Cups reflects nostalgia and memories of happier times, possibly indicating a longing for simpler days or past relationships that brought joy. This card suggests that your current emotional state may be influenced by these memories, prompting you to reflect on what you truly value. In the near future, the Eight of Cups indicates a turning point where you may choose to walk away from unfulfilling situations or relationships in search of deeper meaning and emotional satisfaction. This decision, while difficult, is necessary for your personal growth.
In the future, the Seven of Swords suggests a need for caution and strategy. This card can indicate deception or the need to be wary of others' intentions. It may also reflect a desire to take a different path or approach to achieve your goals. How others perceive you, represented by the Ten of Swords, indicates that they may see you as someone who has faced significant challenges or betrayals, possibly leading to feelings of defeat. Your hopes and fears, embodied by the Queen of Swords, suggest a desire for clarity, truth, and independence, but also a fear of being too detached or harsh. Finally, the Knight of Pentacles as the outcome card signifies a steady, methodical approach to your goals. This card encourages patience and diligence, suggesting that while progress may be slow, it will ultimately lead to stability and success. Overall, this spread emphasizes the importance of introspection, relationship dynamics, and the pursuit of balance as you navigate your emotional landscape.

Is there a thing as an autistic extrovert? Because I am starting to think if you are Neurodivergence then you require a different kind of need to socialize.
Two categories: Neurodivergence & Neurotypical
1. Neuroedivergence
a. Extrovert
b. Introvert
2. Neurotypical
a. Extrovert
b. Introvert

Remember that we have an opportunity to create content FOR the kids and not exploit them for followers. This is why I believe having clients for kids could shift the addiction of "fame" and create ecosystems where parents are making content for their kids. You know?
We could be the change.
How cute would it be if all those tiktok stars were creating something they want their kids to learn. Kids watching their parents teach.
Yes, TV sucks, yes too much of this and that. Duh. This is how you could change that. It's about healthy balance and fostering a new concept outside the box.
My two cents.
