So that means it's clean or I'm gonna die?

Is it a bad idea to filter bacon grease through a paper towel? Like could it be leeching stuff that might be unhealthy?

How's your testosterone bro? You getting enough?

Only the troll will think they've won if you stop engaging with them. If they are really a troll than most observers will recognize that they are not worth engaging with.

Blocking someone from responding to you also takes the decision away from me on whether or not to see who you blocked.

Trolls are going to troll. There's ways around blocks so it's not like it solves that problem anyway. I'd rather they do it in the open where everyone can see and react accordingly.

Take the nostr:npub1yye4qu6qrgcsejghnl36wl5kvecsel0kxr0ass8ewtqc8gjykxkssdhmd0 impersonator/troll for example. They have been following her around for days trolling her notes. After gathering more information on Eliza I have come to the conclusion he is a petty vindictive loser that can't let go of some old Twitter drama and muted him myself.

Let's say Eliza was able to block him completely, but he couldn't let go of his grudge. There might be an escalation from there because he has to look for another outlet to seek satisfaction. When he is only muted at least he can still express his point of view with relatively harmless words, and people that see them can decide for themselves if they have any merit. Eliza should not be making that decision for everyone else by silencing him.

Now maybe my opinion is biased because I'm a large man that has never had a stalker or been threatened seriously, but learning about Bitcoin has pushed me heavily into the idea that people need to take more personal responsibility for many aspects of their lives that would otherwise be delegated to other parties, including personal safety. We can't go around expecting others to protect us from everything, and we have the biggest stake in our own protection, so it's on us to be prepared and make good choices about what risks we are willing to take.

nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a technical question for you/ Americans... can't they just buy a Canadian Bitcoin ETF? Or is there some mechanism preventing it? Canadians can buy American USD ETFs... I think?!

So what gives? I think one Canadian BTC ETF also offers it in USD specifically.

Can Americans with a self directed investing account do this?

Thanks.

I tried searching for BTCC on Schwab and it isn't a valid symbol. I don't know the reason, but if a major brokerage like them isn't offering it then there's probably some rule against it.

I don't think it's a conspiracy to push CBDCs. It's just a cost cutting measure.

Too late. All in on stas.

I paid $16/lb at Costco for some strips the other day, so yeah looks pretty good to me.

Big ass storm headed for San Diego and southern California

https://www.kpbs.org/news/local/2023/08/17/developing-hurricane-may-bring-widespread-heavy-rainfall

Hurricane Hilary could be the first to hit San Diego in more than 100 years. The last time that happened was in 1858.

Hitting land and colder ocean water would weaken the storm, but the system is widely expected to bring strong winds and drench San Diego.

I can't sell my tables. They keep my house hot.

Beat me to it.

I've been stacking chairs instead of sats. About to pay off big time.
