Today there won't be anything about dreams, fortunately for those who aren't fans. I'll just say that in my dream we were driving to the Daugavpils Fortress, exploring abandoned places. In the process, I was explaining to some woman that you can make money by buying an NFT sneaker and walking in it every day.
Oddly enough, this isn't sleep-induced nonsense, but a real project, STEPPN. It works like a mix of a growth startup, a mobile app, a pyramid scheme, and blockchain. I'm thinking of checking it out myself, if I find the time. I walk all the time anyway.
Because yesterday all my energy went into figuring out whether the Garmin Vivoactive 4 watch can broadcast heart rate to a phone for arbitrary apps. Turns out, via Bluetooth — no, only via ANT+. This is done for vague marketing reasons. Even though the watch costs 250 euros. Yet my 65-euro Amazfit Bip watch did it in a snap. That's the world we live in. As a programmer, I cannot approve of this.
But I do approve of same-sex couples adopting children. I recently had a lively discussion about this. The trigger was that our Saeima is passing a civil union law, and all sorts of fossilized elements don't like it.
The main argument in the debate was that two men cannot give a child what a woman can. Mothers "smell special and touch special and are generally special special". What makes them so special wasn't explained, aside from appeals to intuition. Like, I reason with my brain, but I need to use my feelings. In that case, why shouldn't I trust Putin's feelings, since we're deciding with feelings, and not with the brain?
