How did silver get to be worth so much more than Bitcoin? #asknostr I thought Bitcoin was worth more than silver 1 year ago.

Canadians first received their $2,000 CERB payments in early April 2020 so we are up 1244% also, but I think any new CERB payments will have to be over C$3000

I think Grok 4.1 does a great job or writing what I was trying to say. He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? In the shadow of swift machines that answer questions before they are fully asked, in the strange hour when old skills dim and new prompts rise, when the ground shifts beneath coders and searchers alike— what does the Lord still require of you? Not to cling in fear to yesterday’s tools, nor to curse the coming change, but to act justly— to build and use these powers without exploiting the vulnerable, to ensure that no one is discarded like obsolete hardware. To love mercy— to extend kindness to those whose roles fade, to share knowledge freely, to lift others as you yourself learn anew. And to walk humbly with your God— remembering that neither Google nor Grok nor any future mind holds the final word on meaning, that wisdom is not measured in queries per minute, that your worth is not found in what you produce but in the quiet integrity of your heart. The machines may take tasks, but they will not take what matters. Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly. That has not been automated, and it never will be.

I find myself using grok to solve problems. So I have started to pivot from being a google search person to an AI input person. It is strange to witness my skills not being to needed anymore. I guess that is what blue collar workers feel like doing the industrial revolution. I think we have a year before AI replaces us IT people. Micah 6:8

Emily and Edna Amendt say Merry Christmas

Nope. We just got our country road plowed out. 5 days of isolation.

It looks to me like we have finally broken the trend line. If we can get a few days over 92,000 we should be off to the races again.

Good on you for finding Robby's LNURL most people add this to their profile like we did for your Damus NOSTR app. Any note can be zapped (sent bitcoin) just by clicking on the lighting icon and telling the app how much you want to send.

! Alberta is going to have a referendum in 2026 1) Should we have our own pension plan? 2) Should we control our own immigration? 3) Should we regain the powers Ottawa took away from us? 4) Do you agree that the province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state? 5) Should we maintain the status quo? #cdnpoli #abpoli
