A very disturbing thing I discovered is that the dude who patented the content suggestion algo for the likes of YouTube spends his time raping kids, and uses the royalties to pay off the victims.

The same guy founded Tether, and appears to be working to subvert the original spirit and intent of Bitcoin and crypto.

Is an asshole like that active here? How deep does this rabbit hole go?

Incredible, amazing coincidence and good luck that the technology hedge funds sold out of this market just days before this happened.

I know a lot of parents in Canada who did so that their kids could play ice hockey, and they could go on their spring trip to Cancun.

I spoke to quite a few of them. It wasn't news to them when I told them about the dangers. And they all justified their decision by dismissing the risks and minimizing them. "The plane could just as easily crash, or we get hit by a car crossing the street"...

Their normalcy bias and cognitive dissonance was palpable. They would refuse to research the topic because it was clear that they didn't want to discover something that ran opposite to their position.

There is simply no helping people like that. And it's a tragedy that their kids will pay for it along with them.

I know someone who worked for Pfizer. She got all the shots and is now fucked up. They fired her along with a bunch of other people, but she is still in denial that her employer would inject her with something so dangerous. And she still refuses to read the literature.

Here is something to ponder...

An Orca's brain is quite a bit larger than a human's brain, and it has higher inter-neuron connectivity and cerebral cortex folding density.

In the ways we currently measure intelligence in a physiological sense, Orca's are a superior intellectual being.

We know that higher intellect beings exist on a different level of sentience than lower intellect beings, and so we can say that the Orca exists on a higher level of sentience than we do.

And just like a dog can never comprehend the mind of a human (because of this higher level of sentience) , humans can never comprehend the mind of the Orca.

That also happens to be one of the attributes of a god. A superior being that you cannot know the mind of.

So we have this physically and intellectually superior being swimming around the ocean that will chase, catch and skin a seal alive just for fun.

And for us humans this sets up a serious cognitive dislocation. How can a being superior in every way to us, even god like, do something we consider cruel and immoral?

Something is broken in either our understanding of how this universe works, or in how we define sentience.

My TA is indicating there is a ways to go before this correction is over. 70K is easily on the cards.

Technically illiterate decision makers and parents confused using gadgets to digital competency.

I'm a tech guy and there are no gadgets in my home. No gaming consoles, mobile phones, or recreational computers.

My eldest child just got their driver's license and so he now has a smart phone, but his time on it is limited.

I talk to parents and hear their conversations about this topic, especially when my kids were young. FOMO was a huge driver for parents to fill their kid's life with gadgets, and now the conversations are related to their kid's digital addictions (an emotional outbursts), as well as an inability to focus for more than a few minutes which the parents turn to medicating their kids with meth in order to counteract.

This week I'm glad I'm not going into space as a test monkey in a trans polar orbit.

We have a monster sunspot with magnetic complexity rotating in, and if it launches a sizeable X-class flare, then the solar protons will be funneled in through the poles via earth's magnetic field.

The radiation could easily kill the crew in a situation like that.

We live in a natural world of incredible abundance, inside an artificial system build upon scarcity.

Here is a photo of the lettuce seed I collected from one lettuce plant last year. From that one seed, I have who knows, maybe 10,000 seeds.

I've been growing the same lettuce for 8 years, each year collecting seed and each successive generation becomes better and more abundant.

Remember when SpaceX first launched? I do. At the time, Elon's promise was to go out and mine asteroids. They were going to go get a quadrillion dollars in gold or something ridiculous like that.

It was clearly fake and gay. But people fell for it. And when he failed to deliver, he launched a car into space as a publicity stunt.

If you look closely at his track record, Musk doesn't often deliver on anything substantial. Until starlink, the only thing he had produced as promised was that flamethrower.

Elon is not a man, he is a product / brand. The individual you see on the TV is simply the front for a much larger operation.

Black King Oyster harvest today. Some stats about this harvest:

I spawned 1lb of colonized grain to 10 lb bags of sawdust/soy hull gourmet substrate (thanks nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpq00rse6q23xxvfvlp05ye97shyexlrz8peqrtvrk4gsjw3dql26rqwldl06 for supplying!) on 02/19/2025. That means it took 37 days for these. Probably half of that time it was colonizing, half it was in the fruiting tent.

After pulling the mushrooms off of the block the total weight was: 4.716kg

I trimmed up these mushrooms to remove less desirable parts:

Good looking mushrooms: 3.506kg

Compost pieces: 1.21kg

So about 75% yield there. Which could definitely be improved by me harvesting at a better time, and maintaining better environmental conditions.

There is something in mushroom growing called "biological efficiency" (BE) which tells you how well you did. Each species of mushrooms has a range of acceptable values here.

Biological Efficiency = (Fresh Mushroom Weight / Dry Substrate Weight) × 100% Biological Efficiency

-> (3.506 kg / 5.443 kg) × 100% Biological Efficiency = 64.4%

I did the calculations based on a couple of difference dry substrate weights, which gave me a BE of 48.3% to 77.3%.

This is lower than the ideal (100-150%), but also my execution wasn't really ideal either. Its good to get this all written down so that next time around I have a goal to beat!

I just ate some of these from a bag I made 6 months ago and it stubbornly refused to fruit.

And then just like that it decided to escape from the bag lol.

That statement points to an imminent currency revaluation.

When the dime gets demonetized then it's a sign that a big currency revaluation is a few weeks away.

One of my daughters was diagnosed with a large hip deformation and she was diagnosed to never walk without major surgery.

I won't drop what happened next here, but I just want you to know that I feel your relief and share in your celebration!
