In 2024, there are an estimated 4,514 delegates: 3,770 pledged delegates and 744 automatic delegates—more commonly known as superdelegates.[1]

To win the Democratic nomination, a presidential candidate needs to receive support from a majority of the pledged delegates on the first ballot: an estimated 1,886 pledged delegates.[2][1]

Superdelegates are unpledged delegates to the Democratic convention, meaning that they aren’t beholden to the results from primaries and the caucuses (the way pledged delegates are). They are, for the most part, current and former Democratic politicians. Former President Bill Clinton is a superdelegate; so is current Sen. Bernie Sanders.

And please stop attacking the people working on Bluesky !

You don’t like the project, that’s your right !

If you want to help nostr things grow, criticize ideas, not people !

NGL, had a random encounter with an #ETH bro who tried to shill me #Bluesky and it all made so much sense…from a #shitcoiner

Needless to say we didn’t have much to discuss after I mentioned I was #bitcoin and #nostr only

Good nevertheless to test/validate/verify the merit of ideas even when talking to those who haven’t quite figured it out yet

I love that here I can post an article, and someone can strongly disagree, and they actually talk to me about it. And even when we just fundamentally disagree, nobody calls anyone a name, slanders their character - no, they leave you with food for thought.

I know it won’t always be that way, and that experiences will vary, but I have truly had more of that here than anywhere else, and I’m grateful.

Ok nerds. Going to see if your radio knowledge can help me with a vehicle question. Here goes;

Is an ohm resistance of >1 better than an ohm resistance of <1 for heat generation and why?

Situation-I have glow plugs that are designed to generate heat when activated through a basic coil like a controlled short. I have two sets; one that measures 0.7 ohms and one set that measures 1.7 ohms. The more heat the better. Which set should I use to get the most heat?

In the halls of finance, where money reigns supreme,

The Federal Reserve holds the key to the American dream.

Through boom and bust, through war and peace,

The Fed manages the economy with expert ease.

But across the ocean, a conflict rages on,

In Ukraine, where bullets fly and hopes are gone.

The world watches on as tensions rise,

Wondering if this crisis will end in compromise.

Inflation is a specter that haunts us all,

A hidden tax that can make our fortunes fall.

The Fed must balance growth and stability,

To ensure our dollars retain their viability.

As the global economy shifts its gaze,

To the rising stars of the BRICS phase.

New powers emerge, new markets grow,

The world is changing, and we must know.

But as gold value rises, and Bitcoin ascends,

The old order trembles, as the new one begins.

Digital currencies, decentralized and free,

Are changing the game for you and me.

The biggest obstacles to nostr adoption from Twitter users is a Twitter and it’s addictiveness in all the wrong ways. It takes quitting cold turkey to realize this. nostr:note1hptklflt7sl92rsws4u6s2mfl26tmq6myc3dpuejy3kml3tq5zxqaahfnn

Hadn't logged into LinkedIn in a long time. Dang, I missed so many messages. I should visit it from time to time.

We Bitcoiners love the Matrix. Probably because the revolutionary act of trading fiat or labor for Bitcoin feels like (and is often compared to) “taking the red pill.” In other words, being “unplugged.” But consider this:

In first Matrix movie, being unplugged was a revolutionary act. It meant one could get out of a ubiquitous system of control, and be truly free from the shackles of that system. It was of, course dangerous, but at least for most the danger was worth it to “be free.”

It’s not until the second movie when we realize the revolution is just another tightly supervised system of control. In fact, what being “unplugged” did was give the system the ability to identify that small (but escalating) minority of people who would reject it. And rather than allow that minority to grow within the system and eventually destroy it, they just let them leave.

Yeah, machines fought them on the outside and on the inside, but it was all part of the plan. And the function of “the one” was not to set people free. But to rebuild once the planned destruction of the city the housed the “revolutionaries” was destroyed again and again.

It’s interesting to think about in the context of Bitcoin. Because I think we all feel like we’re being unplugged and opting out of the system. But what if the system is merely creating a honeypot of the financial assets of all those who might reject it, so that when the time comes, they can send it to zero (thus neutralizing/hobbling the biggest “problems” of their planned future society).

Not saying it is what will happen (or even suggesting that it can). But it’s kind of crazy how we all love the Matrix, and we all feel in some way like buying Bitcoin is “getting out,” but we forget what “getting out” meant in the Matrix.

Thoughts? (And no I didn’t watch the fourth one because everyone said it was horrible)

Leave the city? And pay a $7 toll and burn $5 of gas to save a couple $ for a steak?
