WOW WOW WOW
Winnipeg Jets trailing 3 - 1 with minutes left in 3rd period game 7
Winner take all.
Tie the game with 00:02.5 sec on the clock to force OT.
It took 2nd overtime to decide a winner.
Congratulations Jets!!
Dallas Stars up next in round 2.
That's 3 Canadian teams through to the 2nd round, Jets, Leafs, Oilers
If there's a Hockey God, Winnipeg or Edmonton come out of the Western Conf to play Leafs who get through in the East. An all Canadian Stanley Cup Final, for the first time since 1989.
Still lots of hockey to play...
Come on... it's all we got up here. Carney is going to turn Canada into Cuba. Please let us enjoy some puck.

Blossom is a sleeper. Huge potential to change how V4V could work. Publish original content to your own blossom server, get it hashed and send the blob out to the world.
Challenge:
Is there a way to put a unique identifier in the hash that calls home (the originating blossom server) and brings up the creators npub to zap? (or something better)
Would it be a "kind"? How might this function as Nostr native?
We are so close to making something new which challenges the Spotify model of artist exploitation.

Before you're accused of being inflammatory and a conspiracy theorist, the facts you've stated are publicly available and corroborated through the investigative journalism of Sam Cooper author of "Wilful Blindness: How a network of narcos, tycoons and CCP agents infiltrated the West,"
Sam has a newsletter with frequent updates that draw conclusions from factual evidence rather than editorial assumptions.
Canadians have been placated by a housing bubble, giving a false sense of financial security. They've recently recovered from some seriously harsh Covid mandates (Stockholm Syndrome)
But the recent distraction du jure, "Trump" has created the most concerning mass psychosis. Needing an enemy or bad guy to focus on, Canadians have rallied around a false pretense as they are about to collectively shoot themselves in the foot and seal their fate by electing China's co-conspirator Carney, into the highest public office.
Once China has the Canadian beach head and a sympathetic Government in their pocket, the next phase of aggression against the USA will commence.

I appreciate your explanations and quotes. As scripture was translated and revised, do you believe that whole passages were deleted or changed? Sanskrit scrolls suggest that reference to our own power and ability to connect to "universal energy - the creator" has been removed from the Bible. If this is the case, by whom and why? I will continue my discovering with an open mind and thank you for sharing your wisdom.

2025-03-26 21:52:05

Thanks for this info and I will delve into it.
I don't feel that gnostic accurately reflects my sentiments. I also do not believe the world was created by a lesser divinity. I do challenge the King James bible and terms such as "Lord" or the use of the personal name of God being Yahweh. I'm of the opinion that these words depict a second entity to which we are mislead into believing to be the Creator. God is. There is no personal name to be associated, that name is given by the deceiver, to convince us that he is the supreme being, as is the term Lord, (as in a master ie, Landlord) Heavenly Father also fits into the duality and misdirection.
There is one God and the way to him through Christ is accendance in spirit and truth. Our own power is a part of that truth and God wants this for us. Man in seek of the power to control us, distracts us through dogma, symbolism and doctrine. God's word is pure and can only be truth. No man has a place between us and God. So if scripture has been manipulated for the goal of securing power, we then must listen to our hearts for the spirit of truth, all the while being aware that there is a battle for our soul.

Rode Go II uses a USB-C connection and should be compatible with iP 15. Not lightning cable but USB-C
The receiving end is connected to your iPhone and the subjects have the wireless mic pack (small clip on block)
As long as both are charged these should pair easily and handle the audio. Each mic also records, so you have a backup if needed.
Tripods are subjective but a Manfroto TwistGrip has a standard universal connection that threads into a basic tripod stand. Maybe find an ultra lightweight tripod that packs small.
Lighting depends on environment. Night vs day, so tough to recommend anything but LED light rings can work in certain situations, again small and easy to pack. Light ring won't have a long throw, so this would be for close up shots.

Not excusing boomers but coming from the viewpoint of GenZ which has had access to internet (good and bad) there are many more options and ways to obtain data today. Then searching for alternative takes on widely accepted policies of the day was not easy for boomers. Yes they were indoctrinated but those blind spots were there due to the previous generations as well. For example, The silent generation did not question. It took 50 years to begin awakening, thankfully.
Boomers were sitting ducks for food pyramids, vaccines and Fiat games.
It is going to be the fourth turning and the next generation to undo the damage which boomers in many cases unwittingly left behind.
Now... try to convince a boomer of these facts, different story. In this regard...

I've wondered if what we've been told is the 2nd coming, a physical return, is not that at all but rather a recognition that Christ is in each of us. To quote "we see him face to face" is to understand that we are created in God's image. God is perfect, so we must be as well. The realization that we are connected to God through Christ whom is within each and every one of us completes the holy Trinity.
When the world is ready - enough people make this connection, Christ returns.

Use it or lose it.
Canadians have proved too complacent. The overreach of Governments clearly demonstrate that they have no fear of the public. No push back after the trucker protests saw Trudeau invoke the Emergencies Act. Not only did Canadians sit ideally by, they're likely going to re-elect the same tyrants that foist it upon them. All because Trump said something mean.
pick and choose your battles but staying silent while only a handful of others do the hard work isn't a winning strategy. Canadians are getting what they deserve but this can change in our collective favour, through action and will.

The worst kept secret in the country is the money laundering that occurs from proceeds of fentanyl and meth. It goes directly into the housing market which governments tax. This stream of income has been a boondoggle for the governments and they are addicted to it, how ironic.
Distract the public from this inconvenient truth by bloviating concerns around the tariffs. The issue of illicit drug manufacturing and movement could be resolved in months but there's a catch. The government would then lose capital it relys on to pay compounding interest debt to the BIS and banking cabal.
So there's no will to change the status quo. Government and bankers are in cahoots with the well organized criminal elements that keep this gravey train going.
Trump shines a spotlight on this and the cockroaches in political costumes scramble into clandestine meetings where this offensive strategy (Ford's ultimatum) is the best they've come up with. It's pathetic and weak but unfortunately it has most Canadians distracted in an anti-Trump tribalist chant.
Meanwhile, the CCP captured Liberal party has shuttled their stooge Justin to be replaced a cabal banker Carney. The Trump distraction allowed for perfect cover while the Chinese Communist Party maneuvers it's useful idiots into position.
Canada has been overtaken by hostile anti-American factions. Trump (administration) knows this. Tariffs are the shiny objects but the battle that really matters that's hiding in plain sight, goes unaddressed.

UI / UX.
How we interface drives everything.
Eg 1
Before cable TV, the user had to physically turn a knob to the signal (channel) they wanted. Cable would never have scaled under this method. Solution: the remote - simple UI / UX = 10000+ channels.
Eg 2
Digital payment adoption. A plastic card that inserted into a device which had a familiar UI. The number pad looked like a phone dialer, press 4 - 6 digits, payment made.
Eg 3
Swiping a screen - iPhone changed everything. A baby knows how to swipe. Intuitive UI / UX.
=====
This is the challenge for Nostr apps. It's why Bitcoin ETFs broke the cardinal rule "not your keys". Users are creatures of habit. In order to scale anything, it must be braindead simple.
I love Nostr, I think Amythst is an awesome client but I can't onboard grandma to this tech the way I could teach her the remote, the bank card and how to use the phone to take a picture.
=====
Is self custody the hurdle that drives most toward centralized services? Solve the custody "lift" keeping key pairs and seed phrases safe and without the brain damage and the world will beat a path to the door.

Firstly, he'll need to get a Nostr npub, then a lightning wallet. If he goes to Coinos dot io and sets up an account (non kyc - just an email) it will create a wallet (it is custodial) and it creates a Nostr account (the npub) at the same time. He can copy that npub into a client like Amythst, Damus etc and set up his profile, point his lightning wallet to the Coinos user (something like - hisusername@coinos.io)
That's it. He can now communicate with the nostriches, try zap dot stream for a live show and find services like Nostr dot build to host his library of vids.

Welcome to the Nostr. There's a thirsty audience that awaits quenching with quality content.
Spotify is a gatekeeper and walled garden, the antithesis of freedom and fairness. On Nostr you'll earn more sats while you sleep than you ever will on Spotify, even after promoting the hell out of your pod and having it hit heavy rotation. They steal your content and your creative energy.
The poor souls suffering from Spotify and iTunes induced "Stockholm Syndrome" are now getting the last laugh. Nostr breaks out from the seized RSS protocol, and ensures creators can once again recognize the promise that early podcasting brought.
Publish through applications like zap. stream and fountain and the appreciative listening audience will send you "likes" in the form of sats. They'll share your links with others through a web of trust, enhancing the validity and impact of your content.
Happy to follow you and enjoy your contributions. 🤙

I wish more people would take this into consideration. Not to digress from the matter at hand but the same sentiment can be applied to the "business of cancer". For 50 years we've been told that the "cure" is just a few million more dollars away, keep funding the cause. Yet the rates have risen each and every year. People are called survivors if they extend live beyond 5 years and 1 day. CEOs and big pharma have taken in billions of dollars to fight the cause.
A simple campaign to eat much less or better yet zero seed oils and ultra processed food, will do more for health and wellness than all the other remedies and high tech interventions.
There's no money in healing. A sick population is a cash cow.
A fearful population, awaiting boiling oceans and sea level city extinction, will contribute in the same way a pink campaign works. The folks getting wealthy from these doom-porn campaigns do not care about the public or the cause. This is about filling their fiat bags and laughing at the ease with which a stupefied public hands over their hard earned money.
Bitcoin *does* fix this. Never give your precious Bitcoin to climate or cancer charlatans. Educate oneself, think independently and take personal responsibility for your health and eco footprint (whatever that might mean).

@nprofile…mnmj is a Chad. Took radios to El Salvador made sure they were distributed where they can do the most good. I'd love to see his work take off. Dude volunteers selflessly at events, never asks for a thing in return. Let's blow this up as a nod to his great efforts and build out a mesh network in the process.

JPow basically said the election will have no "near-term" policy impact. That could be taken as no move. The baffle gab speak is meant to confuse. The rate is now 4.5%-4.75% after 25 basis points.

The energetic waves are palpable. This IS a big deal. Not so much for the outcome of the election but it is a demarcation point. The tipping point is upon us and the sensations we experience are from the last epoch and the new one we're in, converging simultaneously. They are a vortex at the moment.
Bitcoin doesn't need Trump and Harris won't be able to stop it, so for that we can be optimistic.
As for the spiritual battle that rages, we have some more darkness to bear. It is our final test. Do we cave in and succumb or do we remain vigilant and fight for truth?
Universe is prepared to provide us with which ever option we choose.

Orange pilling is another word for marketing. Bitcoin has no marketing department so how are the public made aware of the features and benefits?
To truly understand the benefit of self custody the new-coiner must have some prerequisite knowledge. From my experience, many of these people have done little to no work in acquiring that prerequisite knowledge. They buy Bitcoin anticipate NGU and look to sell for a "profit". As we know reverting Bitcoin back into fiat profits is high time preference but without a full understanding of the benefits that saving in Bitcoin offers, the new user isn't interested in learning.
On boarding a new-coiner even with a custodial wallet is marketing the feature of peer to peer money. We know it's not the white paper gospel but the new user gets to test drive the network. Some could care less of the features and aren't convinced that Bitcoin is any different than ApplePay or Venmo. "If they don't get it, we don't have time to try to convince them". Others might become curious and look further into the features which potentially leads them to discovering the benefits of hard money. The rabbit hole awaits.
So I am of the opinion that we get as many people as possible, the exposure to Bitcoin. From there, what they choose to do with it is on them. As we know, people will get Bitcoin at the price they deserve. Some ETF holders may sell that IOU back into fiat rather than converting into self custody Bitcoin. They, like many from the class of 2013, will look back at that profit taking and lament. Only then, will they understand.

I agree that self custody is the way. I'm also not so altruistic as to believe the 80% will come around to that way of thinking. That's ETFs and other instruments that the lazy will default to. So it becomes a "win the battle, lose the war" scenario.
I used to argue this with my musician friends who argued that sharing mp3 files was theft. They had a point but no matter how much Lars Ulrich and other prominent music industry types tried to criminalize file sharing, Napster made it clear the world had moved to digital. Ulrich was in a fine spot to be an outspoken critic, he'd made his millions. Other lesser known musicians on the anti file share bandwagon neglected an important aspect of "protection". "What if you could maintain 100% security around your music but no one ever heard it?" Was that the solution? Obviously not. A new way of looking at things was the only way. As the RIAA lobbied Congress, Apple released iTunes. They centralized music and it's never recovered.
I see the same fate for sovereign money. While we argue who has more privacy, the bankers are moving in to centralize and control.
Monero isn't going to stop the centralized banking industry, any more than Lars Ulrich and the RIAA would stop file sharing. Monero doesn't have the network effect even if we all wished it had.
Bitcoin is our way. 80% will never self custody. They are the iTunes users of sovereign money. We don't need any more than 15% to change the world. I believe we can accomplish this and soon.
We must ignore the shitcoin degens and bettter mousetrap advocates and build out peer to peer cash. It may start with Lightning and eCash and lead to advancements in self custody. I have reason to be optimistic that a self custody mint UI/UX is close. Rails between eCash and main chain via LN will need to be addressed but I like that option more than a valient albeit losing effort to get the masses to use Monero.

If you're in *business* the intention is to profit. I'm all for privacy and advocate for it but there's no point in privately going bankrupt. Lightning and eCash are methods to obfuscate transactions if one is so overly concerned.
The bigger picture is holding onto those illusive profits. Many merchants accept Bitcoin and save the proceeds. It's like a forced savings account for the future.
If a merchant accepted and saved Monero instead of Bitcoin over the past year, they will have lost 50% of their savings. This is enough reason in and of itself to accept Bitcoin whether their competitors know it or not.

This seems so prophetic and brought up the thought, "what year was I radicalized?"
Upon reflection it was '92 or '93.
I hadn't grasped the concepts Icke is talking about in this clip but I had realized that I was a sovereign, a natural person and not a legal fiction constructed by and for the state. Those realizations have lead my direction ever since.
What year were you radicalized? 😱

This!
I am a "boomer" I keep getting asked if I want to play pickleball.
First off, I hate the name...
More importantly, the ball and racket are like finger nails on a chalkboard.
There's nothing satisfying from the racket/ball response. It's like catching a dead fish.
Give me Newton's third law, with the powerful feeling of racket strings on a rubber object. Tennis, Racquet Ball, Squash, Badminton. Ping-pong is the exception due to the ultra light weight ball.
Sound plays a roll too. I think that's why there's so many complaints around pickleball courts. The sound sucks!
Pickleball is for seed-oil eating geriatrics with arthritic knees.
Move the bod, last longer, risk blowing an Achilles tendon...

It's not even belief, it's ambivalence. They've stopped learning. The critical thinking muscle atrophies and psycosclerosis (a hardening of the attitudes) ensues. I meet boomers (I'm of that vintage) all the time who have decidedly made up their minds based on misinformation from their past. Asking them to question these "beliefs" is goring their sacred cows. I no longer engage, there is no point. As for confirmation bias through their chosen media, the parroting has become my entertainment. When I hear the narrative repeated verbatim, I laugh, nod my head and excuse myself from the conversation.
Suffice it to say, I don't hang out with many folks my own age.

Do you ever feel like you're being tested by Universe? Tested for strength, stamina, mental clarity, resolve... that kind of stuff? I often do. There is a reason for this test but it isn't obvious, at least not until later in hind sight.
Today is one of those days.
After arriving back from a magnificent month in Eastern Europe (Nostriga, HB24) and visiting by car, 4 Baltic states And with the jet lag finally lifting, the routine begins... without my luggage/cases 😬
All 4 of 4 bags/cases were lost. It's been 60+ hours thus far. A call this morning was reason for optimism. 1 bag was found and delivered. I'm thankful. The other 3 have highly valuable contents and still no clue as to where in the world they might be.
I've heard horror stories of bags being sold to wholesale liquidators within days of being lost but I can't let myself go black. I've got to keep positive.
So I'm going to my favorite beach in the entire world, Wreck Beach - Vancouver, in 32C degree sunshine. I'm grateful for the day, the things that really matter (loved ones and health) and I'll let Universe deliver it's ultimate purpose in this challenge. For now, my test is over, I'll not be brought down in spirit by things that are out of my control. Thank you Universe for this clarity 🙏

What are you trying to test with Coinos and zapping. I've used Coinos for a few years and it's been great. Let me send from Coinos to you or collect an invoice.
Describe the process and I'll run it, (other than my own LN node at the moment) I can copy npub etc into Coinos, if that's what we're trying to prove.
