Recently got linen bed sheets and I can’t believe it took us this long to use them. So much better!

Is it not crazy that the rallying cry for pro-choice advocates is “my body, my choice”, which is the the complete inversion of what Christ promised us when he said “this is my body given for you”.
Evil proves Christ as Lord. They can’t help but mock him.

Many problems arise from the fact that many people refuse to admit that humans are inherently religious beings. We all subscribe to doctrine and dogma even if it’s not formal.

If your discount rate is anything other than historical bitcoin CAGR, you’re doing it wrong.

Right, I’m sure it’s due to the containment levels of treated water, but it still blows my mind a bit.
Really not dissimilar from the nourishment we put in our own bodies, tho.

Have you ever noticed how much more healthy & alive plants & vegetation looks after it rains versus when you have to water it with sprinklers?

Your financial advisor isn’t serving you as well as they should.

There is definitely something to this whole baking soda prior to a hard workout. Felt like I had unlimited energy during my intervals.

2024-08-12 18:09:40

Increasingly convinced that most running shorts are a scam.
Unless you’re running for a long time (1+ hrs) or it’s very humid/raining.
I’ve been running in $15 cotton shorts for all my runs this summer and have yet to have negative side effects.

We’re going to be the first financial advising firm to adopt sovereign tools for clients.
Self hosted & encrypted communication.
Use our Bitcoin node instead of running your own.
File share direct to device via Syncthing.
Maybe even spin up a nostr relay specifically for clients for broader comms.

Same goes for echo chamber. The underlying assumption is that those you surround yourself with who hold these same biases are inherently wrong.

How does unemployment tie into the Sahm Rule?

2024-08-12 04:02:01

We know that God gives us free will and he does so through love (which he himself is) by the ascension of his son, Jesus Christ.
Before ascending back to heaven, Jesus tells us that it is better for us that he should leave. Why is that?
Because by ascending, he not only then can send his Holy Spirit down upon the apostles, which is now our inheritance, he then allows us to live by and in faith.
If Jesus were to remain on earth then we would not live by faith. We would live by force. If God dwelt among us and that was known, all would eventually have no choice but to surrender to him. That is not free will, that is slavery.
God does not desire us to be his slaves, but his sons.
By ascending, he shows that he grants us free will to choose him and he does this because he loves us.
You cannot love someone whom you force to love you, as that is not love. Love must be freely given & received.
In the ascension Jesus gives us a glimpse of the essence of love.
Once we, freely, make the choice to love God, he grants us an outpouring of his love via the Holy Spirit.
It is better for us that this happens, instead of Christ being here, because him ascending back to heaven is the only way in which we are able to then live as Christ desires us to.

The most exciting thing about Bitcoin is that in can allow for life that is rightly ordered between leisure, useful work & useless work.

2024-08-11 12:50:51

Go to mass today. Jesus is really present there & he really does want you to go.

2024-08-11 12:41:55

I don’t think it’s possible to explain the freedom that comes from get on zero until you actually make the leap and do it

The primary reason physical training of some sort is so impactful for the Christian is that the training mimics what it’s like to follow Christ so well.
In training, there are few low days, even fewer high days, but there’s a ton of nothing days. Not high, not low, just go out and do it.
We can use the same mindset used throughout this training to (correctly) continue turning towards God when, for the most part, it feels like nothing.
Of course in reality it’s not nothing, in training or holiness, but that only becomes clear after years of leaning into the nothing.

2024-08-10 20:12:06

More & more I am seeing the benefit of hard work for hard works sake and nothing else.
Hard work with and end in mind other than the work itself is centered on that other thing.
Hard work as its own end forces one to live in the present and nothing else. And in that is where God is found.

Can we all agree that hardback books look way better without their covers on?

Every time I spin up a new node, or resync an existing one, I’m reminded of just how awesome Bitcoin is.

Anyone have an opinion on Framework computer as compared to System76?

Most financial advisors: either sell your bitcoin or be prepared to lose it, it’s funny money.

Great, we have several partners that can get you up & running. Yes, we’ll talk through the trade offs of No KYC vs KYC stacks. What should you do if you’ve got a huge stack? We’ll talk through estate & tax strategies to help you.

Might be better for your physical health (still debatable). Definitely worse for your mental & spiritual health.

Show me the ratio of:
Your Annual Expenses
———————————
Your Bitcoin stack
When you took the leap of faith or went all in on your idea.
And I’ll tell you how bullish you are on Bitcoin.

Infinite banking - but instead of a whole life policy you have a Bitcoin backed LOC & you use the LOC to finance miners. Repay loan with miner profit.

The best thing about being extremely fit at some point in your life is that it establishes a high anchor point to which you’ll continue to compare yourself. It forces you to desire being great & not just good enough.
