Recently came across another interesting perspective on inflation:

As a child of a CODA, it was a beautiful story with highly relatable subject matter for those who were CODA.

Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami. Everything else is just a synesthesia.

I really appreciate your posts. They are enlightening, interesting, and all around entertaining.

Did he just threaten everyone with being crushed by some amorphous entity if people don’t vote for him?

I have watched this man reach into a buffet line of food with his bare hands, take a bite out of what he took, then put it back into the buffet line and walk away like it was the most normal thing to do.

Instead most states have something like this:

Would highly recommend not walking into any food and beverage establishment with 50-60 people on a Monday. They won’t be staffed or ready for you at all.

Give them a call 2+ weeks ahead of time and give them an informal heads up about the large walk in. They can staff up and you and your groups’ experience will be 10x better.

Now that right there is some solid advice.

It’s worth considering that base-10 systems are only one of the methods of counting. Base-12, base-60 and others have existed nearly as long if not longer.

Fun fact, base 60 is still very applicable to human anatomy as well. Using your thumb, touch each segment of each finger on the same hand. 3 segments on each of 4 fingers is base 12.

Using your other hand, you can easily keep track of how many times you do this with 1 finger raised.

12 segments 5 times is 60, just using your fingers.

I’m tired of surveillance capitalism, and you should be too.

Thank you for the thoughtful response! The sliding barn door looks fantastic. Using boat varnish as a strong water repellant exterior finish is the exact type of insider tip that I love.

I get strong Caligula vibes from the effort to wage war on substances.

Can you show us a project you’ve worked on that you have a lot of pride in, then give us an overview of how you went from idea to execution?

Indeed I appreciate nature and collect keepsakes from travels. In the moment, the phrasing of finding a skull while doing chores sounded a bit absurd (discovering an unknown skull would usually be alarming), and my comment was just meant to reflect the comedy of that absurdity.

I hadn’t considered the notion that you were genuine in curiosity, and that my note could be interpreted as mockery.

If you do find out the species, I would love to learn of it as well!

Did you just try to make it sound casual to find a skull while cleaning your house?

Probably another allusion to his idea about network states. Essentially online communities / governments that then have enough money, clout, and people to enforce their laws. His book “The Network State” is quite good, goes into great depths about the subject (though is somewhat repetitive on these points).

Ah. That would be an interesting implementation.

Seems to have parallels to Rai Stones, passing ownership of the value rather than “moving” the value itself.

Isn’t this just Open Dime?

In this case you are just loading a device that carries the unknown private key, only revealing it and enabling spending once it is physically altered, which ensures that spender won’t have a duplicate key.

“Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough: there needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling; against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them; to fetter the development, and, if possible, prevent the formation, of any individuality not in harmony with its ways, and compel all characters to

fashion themselves upon the model of its own. There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence: and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs, as protection against political despotism.”

Excerpt From

On Liberty

John Stuart Mill

“Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.”

Excerpt From

On Liberty

John Stuart Mill

“The will of the people, moreover, practically means, the will of

the most numerous or the most active part of the people; the majority,

or those who succeed in making themselves accepted as the majority: the people, consequently, may desire to oppress a part of their number;

and precautions are as much needed against this, as against any other

abuse of power.

The limitation, therefore, of the power of government over individuals, loses none of its importance when the holders of power are regularly accountable to the community, that is, to the strongest party therein.”

With that description, you are surely in for a surprise.

“Yeah I was mining hundreds of BTC per day on an Athlon 2200. That was the low kilohash era.”

This has the same vibe as zapping entire generational wealth amounts for sick memes.
