Good question, but then why would some not be able to receive.
I did just assume that receiving was an intentional act. Also, it was something we had to do with our pod.
I suppose that doesn't completely rule out that there's a way for it to be automatically activated.

Money Supply Growth Surges to Multi-Year High as The Fed Loosens Policy

> The money supply has accelerated over the past three months and is now at the highest rate of growth seen in 40 months—since July of 2022.
Scott also accepts bitcoin on his podcasts through Fountain. I believe that implies a pretty high level of familiarity, since you have to do something in the app to activate those.
I know the Libertarian Institute and the Mises people more broadly are friendly with Steve Patterson. That may be the source of bitcoin skepticism, beyond just the obvious boomer goldbugs.

Monetary Tyranny: Legal Tender Laws vs Competition

I forgot that Love is in Utah. Do they call him Big Love?
If you call someone an antisemite because they said it’s wrong to kill children, you should rethink your messaging.
It doesn't inherently follow that it would help make anything cheaper.
The US military isn't exactly known for its wise stewardship of resources.
Who will have the top pick in the 2026 NFL draft?
Check out my latest [Predyx market](https://beta.predyx.com/market/nfl-draft-1-pick-1758581254?ref=PREDYXCP2908OJ)
Who do you think ends up with the top pick?
Men are legally required to register for the draft.
I'm not aware of anything women are required by law to do that men are not.
Is "be OK with" a euphemism for "not violently oppose"?
Good point about the extremist bots and cynical rage baiters. I haven’t used mainstream social media in such a long time that I had forgotten about them.

NBA Redraft 7/21: 2009
The Clippers are on the clock and there are some very interesting prospects on the board.
Who should they take to pair with Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan?
Also, give me your top 3 for this draft.
NBA Redraft 6/21: 2008
We have another very interesting draft to evaluate.
The player who had the best career is indisputable, but was it inevitable?
Hop in your time machines and tell the Bulls who they should take with the number one pick.
While you're at it, you may as well rank your top 3 choices for them.

The version that makes the most sense to me (and I'm not saying it's what I believe to be true) is that they weren't sure if the video and pictures they took would work so they prepared backups ahead of time. There were concerns about whether film would be ruined by the radiation belts.
So, the astronauts really took photos of what they were doing and really were recording video. Whatever of that was usable was used, eventually, but they used the backup stuff too.
A Rogan guest laid it out pretty well a few years ago and it seemed to explain all the incongruities I had ever heard of without requiring the entire program to be fake, or even every to be aware of the fraudulent elements.
It's a fun conspiracy theory space, since it really doesn't matter one way or another.
NBA Redraft 3/21: 2005
Alright time machine scouts. The Bucks are on the board and they're about to take Andrew Bogut.
Is that the right pick or should they reconsider?
Based on what you know of how things played out on this timeline, who should the Bucks take?
You nailed it on the opting out point.
Internal alarm bells should be going off whenever someone you don’t know is making you outraged about something you’ve never experienced.
