I am not around dogs very much but met a huge mastiff named gunner today. After he smelled my hand and contemplated my vibe he came in for scratches and rolled over on his back. Owners were very impressed. I am the dog whisperer.

I just slurp it up with a straw and keep truckin.

Idk I just sit there and wait. I suppose I could get an adblocker. The last one I tried stop working at some point.

I watch YouTube with ads AMA

Iowa is looking beautiful today.

Grumble grumble.

Not making any judgements here but Spanish has 15 demonstrative forms for English’s 4. I think this shows that the two languages are optimizing differently in the tradeoff between compression and complexity.

In this case Spanish optimizes for information dense communication while English optimizes for lighter memory requirements.

It’s not this simple!

Spanish is a three-term demonstrative system (este/ese/aquel) while English is a two-term (this/that).

I’m learning that Spanish really doesn’t rock with the standalone modal verbs.

All love for nodak. 🫶

Is La Libertad the main hub down there on the coast? Would you recommend that or anywhere else?

Anything coastal in El Salvador you would recommend? Will be traveling near there soon.

🥺🫂

Would you recommend one for me to watch?

Cool. I’ll check it out.

Ok, I think we agree by and large. I wasn’t trying to convince you to spend your time and energy on something in particular. But you provided a response to a concern I shared so I figured you wanted to talk about it.

You have alleviated some of that concern but I still have reservations.

Also, love that we have Biden’s threads account in this chain haha

Not so fast! I agree that we can’t predict the future, but it is a choice whether to give attention to a transition plan. Isn’t a smooth transition something worth investing in?

Interesting. I guess I’m not sure why monero has to be an independent thing instead of a bitcoin L2 type deal. I see value in the privacy and MoE, but it presents a whole new system that would have to be vetted -things like fixed supply, pre-mine, security structure, etc…

Watched. I can certainly imagine an America that uses bitcoin instead of usd. How that transition occurs seems to be an important question. You think it will go smooth?
