Seasonal detox. Relax, let ir do it's thing and you'll be clear-minded and creative in no time

People sell them on different crypto marketplaces, check monero market or the bitcoin P2p telegram channel

True story. One day at work, on a break, i was chatting with my coworker Russ. He brought ul David Lynch films and we talked about all the omes we'd seen. As break ended he sent me to pick up a part at the local groundsworker store.

I get there to pick up the part. The guy at counter has to go to the back room to pick it up. As i'm standing there i look down at the shelves below the counter. There was a part on hold, with a name written on the tag. "Lynch, David".

I was surprised, as i waa just talking about the director. Then my sister texts me. It was a link to a video of David Lynch talking about transcendental meditation. Mind blown. The synchronicity. It was as if i was in a david lynch film

I had seen another video with a monero dev discussing how monero itself wasnt quantum resistant, and tgat zero knowledge was, but when i shared this Ruben from Firo said that was untrue. Since quantum doesn't really exist as we imagine it yet, we don't really know

Not to long ago, this was all normal:

People used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken and sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor."

But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot. They "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low.

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

Here are some facts about the 1500s:

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June, however, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!"

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold.

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would

sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.

And, now, you know!

Thank you for sharing, wow. No wonder the world so batshit crazy today haha

I see, thank you. I may just settle for a custodial wallet for the meantime, what would be a good alternative for WOS?

Yes

Is it a seamless experience fornyou or does it take a while?

As a project, GrapheneOS continues to grow with exceptionally loyal users, and it is easy to understand.

We are not some hobby or experimental OS. We are a work of (almost) 10 years of mobile and Android security research, with paid developers, members from many branches of computer and security expertise and volunteer moderators. Everything GrapheneOS has and will implement is added to target the current threat landscape, and is designed to combat real threats. Our security developments aren't to combat irrelevant, baseless 'what-if' scenarios or create easily attacked obscurity tactics and security theater features. We are not scammers who rely on telling you that you'll be "bulletproof" or "untraceable" unlike what came before GrapheneOS.

We are not some average AOSP distribution simply taking the Android base, piling other apps or flawed, insecure additions and treating them as our features. This is not innovation. GrapheneOS changes the AOSP base from all levels, hardening the most exploited components or replacing them with extra secure alternatives that we maintain or have even developed from the ground up. Projects like Hardened Malloc, Vanadium, Camera app and PDF viewer are some users will reap the benefits of in their day to day lives. Other OS's taking such work shows how valuable this work has been.

GrapheneOS is one of the only open-source projects to trailblaze mobile security, from implementing a lock screen bypass fix before Google, reporting numerous security vulnerabilities including ones used by companies attempting to attack us, and adding enhancements upstream to numerous open source projects. GrapheneOS is the first and still the only platform to have ARM hardware Memory Tagging Extensions implemented in production with the Pixel 8 and also the only browser in production when counting Vanadium as well. If you look at the project's socials for this, you will see additions like these have been planned years beforehand.

The foresight the project has for what we should implement should tell you what the experience and skills of the team members are. GrapheneOS is here to stay, and the work done will be around to stay even longer. Even if you don't use the OS you have reaped benefits of the work. It's never too late to understand what you are missing out.

#GrapheneOS

In the last year i have switched to graphene os and linux mint and loved the power, privacy and ease of use of both. You all do a wonderful job, it is evident in every aspect.
