Having a climate discussion on nostr is like subjecting your brain to slow melting 🫠

Not worth it.

Veto overrides are relatively rare in U.S. history. Since the founding of the country, Presidents have issued over 2,500 vetoes, and Congress has overridden fewer than ten percent of them. Here are a few key points:

1. **Total Vetoes**: As of now, there have been about 2,584 presidential vetoes.

2. **Successful Overrides**: Out of those, only around 112 vetoes have been successfully overridden by Congress.

3. **Success Rate**: This means that Congress has overridden about 4-5% of all presidential vetoes.

4. **Historical Examples**: Notable veto overrides include Congress overriding President Gerald Ford's veto of the Freedom of Information Act amendments in 1974 and Congress overriding President George W. Bush's veto of the Water Resources Development Act in 2007.

In summary, achieving a two-thirds majority to override a veto is difficult and rare, requiring significant bipartisan support.

I have some contacts in Russia that work as asset managers and financial analysts. So after the war broke out they were emailing me like, “Well, uh, that’s awkward. But anyway here are some details of what’s happening internally in Russia in terms of the financial system using CNY more and USD less, and other financial changes. Hopefully these are helpful.”

So I was like “thanks guys, let’s stay in touch. Stay safe!”

I wish it would be that easy.

We are currently in an ice age, which is defined as any period during which there are ice caps.

The current ice age began 2.5 Mya. It is suspected that the cause was the gradual reduction in CO2 caused by the weathering of the Himalayas, the migration of Antarctica over the South Pole, and the closing of the isthmus of Panama blocking ocean heat transfer at the equator.

There have been over a dozen significant glaciations since the ice age began. They are likely driven by the orbital cycles of the Earth. In the last million years they’ve fallen into a regular pattern of ~90,000 years of advancing cold and ice, and ~10,000 years of retreating ice and relative warmth. We are in one of those warm periods now. It started ~12,000 years ago.

Winter is coming.

Well if you don't have facts all you have is allusions.

Today I learned that this doesn’t raise in Ruby: a = { b: a }

What the heck, why?

we're waiting on appstore release, but our damus purple testflight is patched atm. sorry we have no control over this.

Well the Prime Minister certainly has a big input into what is introduced in parliament through his cabinet

what do you think Nostr needs most rn to grow?

esp interested in areas that might not have enough attention yet

Basically I'm trying to do BIP-32 but start from a keypair instead of a seed. In order to make it work across multiple clients I'd need to have some sort of standard way of coming up with a chaincode when you're not deriving that from the seed directly.

One if the best ways to spend your Bitcoin is

silent.link - global eSIM

No KYC, affordable rates, data-only option, instant Lightning top ups of even just a few cents, always there when you need it.

Not affiliated, it just saved my ass many times. Thank me later.

Also don't use Firefox.

Don't use Chrome or Safari either. And don't use any derivatives of these.
