the form factor is less important for the core capability, but does have tradeoffs on convenience, attraction. Make it a dull grey metal to reduce the likelihood of having your hand chopped off

Hadn’t crossed my mind but that’s a cool idea! I thought for the charcoal to filter things you had to do some steaming process that “activated” it? I’ll have to look into it :)

I want to see if I can make charcoal out of pinecones because we have several… well, around 20 pine trees and they dump pinecones, and those typically just get burned in a burn barrel. I would be more interested in converting them to charcoal for later. I also have heard that you can use them in a garden if you turn them into charcoal, so that could be interesting as well.

There was a study where people took turn ratings songs on a fake music review website, 1-5 stars. Each person could see the reviews from the people before them. Justin Bieber is widely disliked, but the study found that if the first participant rated the music highly, like 5 stars, it would continue to be rated more highly be other participants. If they rated him low, he would stay low.

The moral of the story is that an initial group of people can set the stage and perception of a thing, in the beginning. Right now it's Bitcoin. But Bitcoin isn't even that bad! Honestly it's one of the best online communities out there.

We need a few more nice communities like Bitcoin before we attract a mainstream audience.

It still blows my mind when I don't get hungover after drinking a bunch of wine. 🍷

Two nights ago I went out for dinner, had 2 maths and woke up with a disgusting headache.

Last night I had all too much wine and woke up with a clear mind even after staying up late.

How do people become alcoholics with crappy booze? So much pain.

My favorite poster of all time was a patagonia(fuck patagonia btw) of Dean Potter slacklining that read "their is a leisure class at either end of the social spectrum".

So true!

and the dipshits in sprinter vans from Boulder don't fit in the low end spectrum btw

I do enjoy my Call of Duty. I’ll find some time & we will battle.

When you say court, do you mean a men’s tennis court or a fairies pickleball palace?

Tell me ur gay without using the word gay. 👆

My friend, it sounds like you need a few pickle ball matches to get you fixed up. The people in your note too, but you also as well too
