To be specific we paid for dinner with the Australian Dollar but a restaurant located somewhere else in the world would not have accepted that currency. If I can’t buy dinner with AUD some place that does not mean the currency is not used transact value.

If you were to drop me in a random country with the goal of buying dinner I would rather have a bitcoin wallet than a wallet full of Australian dollars.

If North Korea and Russia condemn you, you're doing something good.

I don’t wanna pass a final verdict on Israel. I refuse to believe every single Jew is evil and supports the anti-humane and terrorist actions of their government. I’ve seen Jews that speak against it. But the more I learn, the more I start to despise them and I simply can’t help it.

The Israel Defense Force has confirmed that it carried out a strike on the headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) in Tehran. According to the IDF, the facility was being used by the Iranian Armed Forces for military communications under the cover of civilian operations, concealing the true nature of its infrastructure and assets. The strike, the statement added, dealt a direct blow to Iran’s military capabilities.

Israeli officials state that Iran has fired 370 ballistic missiles at Israel. With an estimated arsenal of 750 to 1,000 ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel, this indicates that Iran has already deployed approximately one-third to one-half of its missile stockpile.

A lot of fog of war and propaganda at the moment. I shouldn’t have generalized so hastily.

These attacks have little to do with #hamas, which has mostly been neutralized and much to do with the global risks of #iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.

The fog of war is opaque, but early indications are #israel is hitting military targets while #iran is targeting civilian populations. There are echoes of #ukraine and #russia, respectively, and they reflect the priorities of their respective leadership and systems of government.

It did not start on October 7th.

How old are you that you still believe that when a completely unrelated country “supports terrorism,” and especially one that has had multiple regimes violently installed by the very countries you seem to position as victims here, while the US and Israel have been calling for war with Iran for like 40 years… and you still believe the *exact* same line that got us into the utter bullshit that was the Iraq war?

Do you even consider that what you hear on the news might not be the truth, but just what is most convenient for the establishment?

As a gamer, I've always been a desktop guy and usually every 6-8 years build a new behemoth of a machine. My 8 year old desktop is dying at the moment. I replaced a dead CPU a year ago. I replaced dead RAM 3 months ago. And now I'm once again getting RAM errors. I guess it's my motherboard and/or power supply that's the culprit here. I'm considering my options. Either replace the next round of parts and continue to troubleshoot or go a different route altogether. It might be time to buy a powerful laptop and replace my 8 year old desktop and 8 year old former work laptop.

What laptop are you rocking? I'm considering System76.

actually, going offgrid is a realistic goal.

dont let anyone tell you what you “should” think.

experiment, dream, chart your own path.

My only idea is that you'll likely fry the thing, which is why I don't do it. I think the best option is to have a manufacturer do it on their dime before you buy it. System76 is the only one I know of doing newer systems. Ideally, the market would just go that direction automatically. In reality, you'll probably just have to settle for lesser hardware if you value that highly. S76 isn't all THAT bad, but they not at ThinkPad quality. At least not the last one I bought.
