What did the fight entail? I messaged our Chief of Police and got a relatively boilerplate response back. Figured I’d start there and then figure out next steps when I’m back in town.

Why do deranged liberals insist on looking so fucking ridiculous at the airport?
Extremely weird text on t shirts
So many colors of hair
The least appealing tattoos imaginable
Fat but insisting on showing skin
The weirdest part is how I *know* they are liberals only from their sense of style.

Pretty convinced that the no alcohol movement is a psyop.
Of course there are exceptions.
Of course drinking isn’t “healthy.”
But social drinking with friends or family creates stronger bonds and builds trust. And in general, it helps people be social in the first place.
Do your part. Drink a beer with a friend today.

This is why I own bitcoin. If society wants to improve on these shortcomings, bitcoin HAS TO BE part of the solution. I am 100% convinced.

I’m not going to push back very hard because I do largely agree with you.
However. There are exceptions. My best friend’s dad lives in Iran. It’s all true. He is extremely thankful that the supreme leader is dead.
We’ll see what happens next. But killing the supreme leader and his buddies is seen as a blessing by nearly all Iranians (per source, obviously I can’t verify).

I’m no fan of war either but let’s not pretend the Iranian regime didn’t kill 30,000 of their own citizens a month ago.

2026-03-19 11:46:49 UTC

I started a group text with some of my pledge brothers that are also dads.
Very good friends of mine, but it’s easy to lose touch throughout the years. This has been such a good excuse for us to regularly make contact.
All we do is send pics of our kids to each other and talk about the ridiculous things they do.
Highly recommend. Quite wholesome.

Now they admit lyme disease is man-made?
Feels like there is a new absurd headline every week where regular people just trying to live their lives are significantly negatively impacted.
It’s relentless. Just one after the other.
It’s like a mass learned helplessness experiment.

2026-02-28 19:53:40 UTC

Let’s not forget that the Iranian regime are terrible people.
My best friend’s dad moved back to Iran full time a few years ago. He says the people hate the regime and would want nothing more than for them to be eradicated.
So while I don’t like the idea of foreign intervention, this may be the most acceptable intervention possible.
Where do you draw the line? I have no clue.

2026-02-28 13:53:36 UTC

I keep asking Claude to stop saying the word ‘genuine.’ He says he’ll stop then like two messages later he’s right back to it.

Anyone else got ideas?

Apparently the fast was more difficult than I thought because it was 72 hours, not 36. On day 3 I was getting numbers mixed up the entire time. So there’s at least one observation!

I would be open to doing more 24-48 hour fasts, but I’m not sure of the health benefits. Through my research, seems like ketosis really sets in around the 48-60 hour mark. But is ketosis the only/primary objective? Idk. I really am not that well-versed in any of this.

2026-02-20 22:01:41 UTC

36 hour fast is wrapping up.
It went well, but I don’t have much interest in doing another. I’m not that hungry, but I truly miss the sensation of eating food. 🤣
Could be convinced with data showing it’s a slam dunk for health reasons, but until then, I’m good with 16:8 intermittent fasting every day.

ROI means different things to different people. Money return on money spent is probably very bad, but time/effort/frustration saved on money spent is through the roof.

There are soooooo many things that AI will help with to make it easier to become more sovereign *if you want*.
I think about all the apps on an umbrel or start9 that someone like me with zero technical knowledge could only dream of using before. Now I’ll have the AI to help me set up and monitor things like lightning channels, self hosted home security, e cash, and so much more.
I’m wildly bullish on AI bringing back sovereignty to the common man.

2026-02-17 14:14:31 UTC

72-hour fast begins tonight!
Last meal:
Braised short rib
Mashed sweet potatoes
Baked asparagus
Bring on the ketosis.

That’s why I don’t love the Whoop. It basically shames you into removing all social or “enjoyable” activity.
While we shouldn’t be doing those activities every night, I think the Whoop now makes it easier to decline friends or otherwise enjoyable activities to preserve a number on a screen.

2026-02-13 18:51:29 UTC

I’m doing different challenges each month in 2026 to switch things up.
February is no X.
Couldn’t have been better timing.

2026-02-13 02:11:08 UTC

I got a start9 with a shit ton of memory space and migrated my bitcoin node to it. Now I have an umbrel with nothing on it.
Even though I’m a level 0 with technical skills, I’m kinda pumped to actually start looking into some of these open source self hosted apps. Something I would have never dreamed of doing not that long ago.
Anyone got recommendations?

2026-02-12 01:59:54 UTC

Three day fast to kick off Lent next week. Will be my first. Looking forward to it and achieving ~ketosis~.

Thinking about my financial goals while I look at a bitcoin price that is 50% off all time highs.
I don’t really have any immediate goals.
The only things I care about are 1) retiring my wife to stay home with my kid (and future kids), and 2) ensuring those future kids have optionality in their lives. Helping them avoid the debt-fueled rat race.
I’m pretty unbothered today. The ego took a shot, but other than that I feel largely numb.

My wife is an ICU nurse. I’m not exaggerating when I say I would bet that no less than 50% of her patients are:
1. So morbidly obese/unhealthy there is zero quality life after hospital.
2. Absolutely mentally fucking insane.
3. The most rude pieces of shit you can possibly imagine (I guess sort of fits in with #2).
Can you imagine how much money we spend as a country keeping these people alive? And for what?
I know this is not very Christ-like of me, and for that I’m truly sorry. But we are a nation teetering on the edge of desperation; financially and spiritually.
I just felt the need to post this and get feedback.

Maybe this is a stupid question. But why do we not hard fork #bitcoin as soon as possible to avert the year 2106 problem?
Wouldn’t it be significantly easier to hard fork now while bitcoin is still <1% global adoption and only *really* used and understood by actual bitcoiners?
I’m surprised to see the lack of urgency for, what seems to be, a rather uncontroversial modification.
Please tell me why I’m wrong!
