Not if it's good sex

I can make you suffer for some sats anyday.

A few walks today for 7km #31days

I finally got my kafka test working. Woo hoo! 🎉

😂 Took me three whole weeks. Geez. What a monster.

„Matred“ if you do it with your significant other

I don't have any follows.

I don't have any mutes.

We don't have to cope about the buggy weirdness of putting every damn thing you ever write in an event out on the open Internet, anymore.

We can just use AUTH relays, with an appropriate instance of a community-oriented client, like Jumble, Alexandria, Chachi, ZapChat, etc. and just get over it all and move on with our lives.

This is for my day job.

Testing databases so big that you need databases to test them. 😁

Good practice for testing #Alexandria. That's my next mountain to climb. Needs a full, automated suite for the deno builds.

I was curious why this won't set precent for future cases, so if anyone else is wondering, here's what I found:

Here's why that often means it won't create binding precedent:

Guilty Pleas Skip the Trial Process: When defendants plead guilty (as Keonne Rodriguez and William Hill did here), they're essentially admitting to the charges without contesting them in court. There's no need for a trial where lawyers argue over evidence, legal interpretations, or the application of laws like the Bank Secrecy Act (which regulates money transmission). Without that adversarial process, the judge doesn't issue a substantive opinion that could interpret the law in a new way.

No Detailed Judicial Opinion: In a plea deal, the court's role is mostly to accept the plea, ensure it's voluntary, and impose a sentence. There's rarely a written ruling that analyzes the law deeply enough to serve as precedent. For example, this case doesn't create a "landmark decision" on whether cryptocurrency mixing services (like Samourai's Whirlpool) qualify as money transmission under federal law—it's more of a resolution based on the specific facts and agreement.

Lack of Appeals: Precedent often solidifies through appeals, where higher courts review and affirm (or overturn) lower court decisions. A guilty plea typically waives the right to appeal on most grounds, so there's no opportunity for appellate courts to weigh in and create broader case law.

Plea Deals Are Fact-Specific: These agreements are negotiated between prosecutors and defendants, often to avoid the risks of trial. They're tailored to the individuals involved (e.g., the developers' roles in operating the wallet) and don't necessarily address bigger questions, like the legality of privacy-focused crypto tools in general. Future cases could still argue different interpretations without being bound by this outcome.

Broader Context in Crypto Cases

This isn't uncommon in cryptocurrency-related prosecutions. Similar cases, like those involving Tornado Cash or other mixing services, have sometimes gone to trial and set more precedent (e.g., by clarifying what counts as "money transmission"). However, when defendants plead guilty—often to get lighter sentences or avoid harsher charges—it limits the case's impact on the legal landscape. The article might be highlighting this to temper expectations that the pleas will "change the game" for crypto privacy tools.

White people need to rethink socialism. They see it now as a scam which steals from their families and gives to ungrateful, destructive, non-functional, and endlessly multiplying Brown people. And, indeed, that's what it is in terminally sick America. But what socialism could and should mean is White people, united, organized, pooling some of their resources, and working for the best interests of our families and the next generation.

Meh. No marriage is perfect. Rather each is marriage is specifically imperfect for each person. It is in working through these imperfections that we grow and mature.

A young woman, or any other woman, may seem desirable because there are no imperfections yet in the relationship. But it’s a matter of time.

I’m of the belief that any man and any woman could marry and have a happy loving relationship. But it takes work.

My best advice: marriage before sex avoids all of these issues.

Are you meaning ages? I would look at it as adult vs. Child; I’m not interested in the edge cases and legal definitions.
