what a cool story

What is happening to #twitter? Does it have anything to do with what's going on in France? Shutting down the most popular and fastest source of live reports from the streets!? <- pure speculation on my part

Also they could cover the ship with solar panels and connect them to a giant fan mounted on back of the ship blowing into the sail. Trust me, it will be worth it if you subsidize it enough.

You might think that central banks would pull out coins of small denomination from circulation when inflation makes them worthless. Wrong! This one tiny #fiat coin is worth about 8 sats and was issued in 2022.

They might be getting to a territory where the metal is worth more than the face value which would technically make them backed by metal. How based is that? πŸ˜…

Getting sick of modernist/industrial interiors in cafes.

I would love to see a postapo movie where survivors use Bitcoin as currency. Imagine Max Max had antenas on his car.

Thinking about it now, most post apocalyptic fiction forgets the need for trade and assumes it just wouldn't happen, when it's obviously a solution. Although less interesting that having to eat the other guy.

beauty > comfort

Don't you think that the eco people should love burying plastic instead of recycling it? Since that puts muh carbon back into the ground. πŸ€”

Last 3 nights I had vivid dreams thanks to eating lots of honey.

Good point. Especially when no one can censor content, "piracy" will be easy.

On the other hand we see elsewhere that people don't make a pure economic calculation when it comes to choice to get unauthorized copies. For example you can torrent films at a click of a button, yet many still get a subscription for a service where you have comparatively limited choice plus ads on top of it.

Simplest explanation of this would be that people get subscription because it's the "right thing to do".

Perhaps solution would then be to allow creators to signal to the reader what the correct price is (even in a situation where there is no paywall). Then reader could Zap The Recommended Amount. He would have an indication of what the "right thing to do" is.

We wouldn't be in a situation where people Zap 50 sats and think "hey, I am helping!"

Trying different #nostr klients. Bitcoin has conditioned me to feel uneasy about simply copying private keys around - it just feels like a wrong thing to do.

Thanks for liking my post. You gave me a dopamine hit while I achieved absolutely nothing.

The first one? Does it mean that all the previous ones were just Potemkin houses made for marketing videos?

Looking into distant history people seem to have no problem understanding that purpose of war is expansion of the empire - accumulation of power over more people and territories. There is understanding that the soldier is a tool of a Machiavellian ruler.

When it comes to modern history and present, sentimental narratives dominate. Most find themselves in a fairy-tale where Good is fighting the Evil. Well, at least we are lucky that we happen to be on the right side. πŸ€”
