Using an emoji for a file extension is a 🤦♂️ too.
I’ll never stop despising the underscores and the self parameter. Ugliness is contagious. 
Crypto.com is still sponsoring the UFC? 🤦♂️
Modular is creating a new Python superset named Mojo and Meta wants to rewrite the GIL out of Python.
I suppose it could be worse and everyone could be betting on JavaScript. 🤷♂️🤣
There were lots of low bid inscription transactions in the mempool. It will likely get worse as we clear the mempools (assuming we do).
We wrote almost 3x as many inscriptions yesterday as we did two months ago when everyone was freaking out and fees went ballistic. That was a new record and we could probably set more new records if we can clear the backlog sitting below 3 sat/vB.
The total size of the mempools keeps shrinking and that’s what matters. 🤷♂️
As we clear the backlog of low fee transactions, we set a new record for number of inscriptions written to blocks yesterday.
We cleared a bunch of 3 sat/vB transactions this morning too. It will be interesting to see what happens the rest of this weekend. Two months since the weekend of the falling sky too. 
Imagine taking on a mortgage worth of debt to have this clown teach you about computer science when this is his level of competence.
“I don’t have enough staff to help me.”
Mother fucker, you literally have indentured servants paying you for the opportunity to serve you. 
“If you care about the environment, use my programming language.”
Entire generations have been stupefied but this cult.
The people most disappointed about the possibility of mempools clearing again (besides Odell 🤣) are the people trying to push their favorite flavor of soft fork.
Miners still have the subsidy, which is the only thing they are counting on in the short term anyway.
Gamers are poor on average and the high end gaming hardware niche is brutal. NVidia has bootstrapped the AI hardware business from scratch in that shitshow of a market. I don’t begrudge them soaking the VC funded AI grifters to make some profit from them while they can.
I do want to see them get some real competition because that will reduce the risk of the entire market depending on a single centralized company. I also want to see US based semiconductor fabrication capacity grow as fast as possible.
Everyone will eventually have to compete on price, but there are other much more important goals in the short term.
I’m going to need video of Fink shitting on Klaus Schwab’s desk before I buy that it’s even worth considering he’s anything but a globalist communist ESG ghoul trying to exterminate 90% of the planet and enslave the remaining 10%.
Hell, I might need to see him shitting Klaus’ warm corpse.
I’m sure high diesel prices won’t increase the cost of everything in Europe.
Inflation is probably not going down anytime soon.
If the president’s son is trading state secrets for cocaine, and all the presidents and vice presidents take state secrets home with them when they leave office, we probably have too many state secrets. 🤷♂️
Local Farmers: if you aren’t willing to buy from us now, don’t be surprised if you can’t buy from us when you need us.
Also Local Farmers: I buy the cheapest Chinese made tools I can find because fuck spending more money than is necessary on “boutique” tools.

You get the markets you are willing to support.
Just learned I’m going to be a grandpa again!
Time to break out the good stuff and celebrate right. 
Stack up or fuck off is the right attitude for so many occasions. 
If she doesn’t believe she’s the best person to raise your kids, she’s not.
This is why I give money to FPC. They aren’t trying to win a popularity contest or become a lobbying grift, they just sue the shit out of the tyrants and get their unconstitutional laws thrown out.
This is also how I feel about bitcoin. Fuck your adoption. The right people will adopt it when they realize they have no other choice. Everyone else will just have to work to earn it.
* This was a response explaining why they won’t stop using profanity in their Tweets.
It’s 3 videos, but this is the general idea. Guys using boards for shields and wooden clubs (along with people throwing bottles from windows) to fight off the barbarians. 
Every year, every fireworks display should have been proceeded by speeches explaining that the fireworks celebrate the killing of any tyrannical government’s agents. We fucked up the rituals and people forgot what it all means.
Anyway, happy kill tyrannical government agent day.
nostr:npub1zp9fuqdl487hmzvjqcmt7fdm9rcl5hhy5y3qr7k5vtahnjd4kt5sfckvjd may have a solution, sorry for the tag! 🐶🐾🫡
Unfortunately, my data doesn’t go back past November 2022.
Imagine the home school rates if women didn’t need to work to make the family budget work.
Young men should strive to earn top 10% incomes so their wife can stay home with the kids.
There are aviation and diesel mechanics making $200K with overtime and $150K without OT. Lots of trades are also useful skills that can allow you to run your own business and make plenty of money to support a family on a single income.
The very first luxury we bought when we started making decent money was my wife’s early retirement. She quit working a few years before we even had a second car.
They predicted that climate change would bring about mass migration that would lead to violence.
Then they opened the borders, started endless wars, and debased the currency in an orgy of profligacy. All policies that encouraged mass migration and violent outbursts in developed countries.
“Why is Greta visiting Zelenskyy?” Why the fuck do you think? They need to keep making the connections so the NPCs will beg them for their communist solutions to all their invented problems.
Free use of the internet by all is not possible without ZIRP. There was one 3rd party app making 7 billion Reddit API requests per month on behalf of 800,000 users. ≈10K/user/month for free. That is insane and unsustainable.
I can’t even imagine what is going on at Twitter.
Nostr will face the same problems if it ever gets popular. It isn’t even popular yet and the Damus relay is already unsustainable as a free service.
The answer isn’t to kill all anonymous use and put everything behind a KYC/AML panopticon paywall. The answer is to charge enough via bitcoin to cover the costs of running the services. Let people pay for what they use and force the free riding NGOs, intelligence agencies, and scammers to pay their own freight for their nefarious uses.
He dramatically increased the cost of the API which massively incentivized scraping.
Now he’s restricting the views to increase the time spent using the app?
The Twitter capitulations have only begun.
Funny that the RNG seems to be biased against videos that might offend the woke fucks who work at Twitter. Here’s a video of some commie fucks getting their asses beat in France.
A Twitter Video Downloader didn’t have any trouble downloading the video.
How is Twitter so bad at playing videos back after all this time? It’s been like this for years. It feels like there is an RNG used to determine whether any given video will play or not.
The ATF receiver rule got thrown out yesterday and 80% receivers can be ordered again. That’s a great 4th of July gift. 
It’s so humbling. It’s a quick and powerful way to remind myself how weak I am.
When I imagine an entire village going through Lent together with few artificial distractions I can’t help wonder what that experience must have been like.
People who value fasting should study how Orthodox Christians fast and experiment with that approach, including the focus on the feasts that break the fasts and the rituals and stories around all of it.
Now imagine doing that with an entire community made up of people who are all struggling to do the same thing. Then bring them all together under the same roof multiple times a week to participate in the same rituals together while being annoyed with each other’s quirks and foibles. Have them all examine in minute detail how they failed to live up to their ideals and then expose those failures to someone they trust deeply.
I have fasted many times over the years but never gave any thought to any of that. I definitely haven’t experienced it, but now I find myself thinking about it a lot.
