That's what I thought too but then I googled it.

https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm

There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.

Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," states: "United States coins and currency [including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve Banks and national banks] are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues." This statute means that all U.S. money as identified above is a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor.

I’ve heard it explained that the payments of debts are through disputes in the court where a debt needs to be paid and not at point-of-sale.

The most spam I get is some air drop reply bot that I don’t even notice. I guess that counts.

Hate bullshit I see if I browse “universe” on open relays but that’s more opt in. Same with porn.

I might be bias because I’ve had a year (I have to look to see if today is my nostrversary) to curate my follows and relays. 🤷‍♂️

I’m currently writing in JavaScript for a side project for something nostr adjacent.

I haven’t written code professionally for over a decade.

So my horrible code is just me getting back into things and also moving away from common JS to ES6 standard.

It’s the web browser (and other things)

There is something ridiculous about how we turned a document browser into a virtual machine. The amount of bloat is carries is pretty bad.

I mean I’m not opposed to web technologies but I think this and the associated “anyone can code. Don’t worry about doing it right” thing.

This is speaking as someone super rusty at writing code that is currently writing horrid code.

Funny enough St Louis Fed website has some decent analytical tools to look at debt. It looked like it was over a trillion from Q2 to Q3 of this year but I’m on mobile and the interface is a little klunky the more I zoom in. I also don’t think we have accurate numbers for “right now”.

But yeah “a trillion here, a trillion there”

Pyramid of Giza built in 26th century bc. That’s about 46 centuries ago (check that?)

36525 days in a century

36525 * 500000 * 46

Gets you 840,075,000,000

Quick math but someone can double check.

I think that just depends on stranger/acquaintance/friend level and is very contextual from my experience.

If you’re on your way somewhere it’s “empty” or cursory. Unless something is very wrong it’s just a human syn ack.

Meeting friends or stopping for a few minutes it means something more.

I guess ymmv and I can’t speak for the rest of the US.

Best “nice try Fed” response.

Which autocratic region are you in?

Syria? Iran? New York? North Korea? Libya?

Some people pop in an action movie to unwind. Others just want 10000 short movies. To each their own.
