Non-text media is still kind of centralized. Primal is hosting your video. It could be censored either by the owner of that server or by a DNS take down. My suggestion is to include a transcript or highlights in text form when posting a video.

FWIW I never heard of you until seeing a post here on nostr about you joining and bringing other folks in.

I wonder the list of pardons contains clues for further investigative journalism.

Man Economy and State is missing.

Maybe something like "how to field dress animals" or "how to grow food" or "emergency medical procedures guide" would be good. I'm assuming you come out of the bunker someday, of course.

Thanks to you and nostr:npub1ajv7m32k0cpgzha32qszsh304qusjvwwmavus0ttktzldms4xzusuftppj for your replies. Is it weird that my first thought is "hmm, two replies both mention the same make and model, perhaps Kingston Data Travelers are backdoored"?

Here's someone doing a longevity test, apparently on the same make/model: https://blog.za3k.com/flash-media-longevity-testing----5-years-later/

I see various posts claiming data only is guaranteed to last one year without powering on or up to ten years ten years or more for flash storage.

I see many variations on Kingston Data Traveler. The easiest difference to spot is some are assembled in Taiwan, some in China, some in United States.

I would guess that less dense components, meaning smaller data capacity in a larger physical space, should all other things being equal last longer, but that's a hunch. Maybe the reliability of smaller and smaller bits is increasing. Maybe the onboard processors and software are getting smarter and smarter.

There is too much depth to this seemingly simple question. In any case, the answer seems to be the same. People like Kingston Data Travelers.

Where are the weather prediction markets that use bitcoin?

It does not solve the situation. See the case with Mr. Ver.

Choices here are to sell 1.5 bitcoin for USD to pay the tax or risk going to prison. But selling 1.5 bitcoin for USD is not using bitcoin as money. There is not exactly a problem but if you want to stick to the principle of only exchanging bitcoin for goods and services a little bit of yourself dies when doing that dirty exchange.

Which brand/model of USB sticks have you found are the most durable and reliable? What about the least durable and reliable? I mean when you get out that USB stick from 10+ years ago and it seems to work flawlessly. For example, you could read the data successfully without errors and you also could write something such as new data or an OS that successfully boots on another machine without errors.

My guess is that this is only discovered in hindsight, kind of like cars, and may not apply to new models from the same brand. At the same time, the brand probably does matter, because the brand affects QA.

Directing fluid from a floppy meat tube is not as easy as those clever bathroom signs suggest.

They try stuff that would occur to no other humans. Wow.

Take out the trash that contains the burnt oatmeal. Open all the windows use fans to direct air out of a window near the burning episode. Bleach the area. Cover the area with baking soda, let sit overnight, and vacuum it up. Spray ozium. If all that fails, use several chlorine gas bombs from the auto parts store with all plants and animals out of the house.

Nothing wrong with a Beretta 92. See also CZ 75 and SIG P220. The three of these came out in 1975/1976 and I've heard this marked a huge improvement in semi-auto reliability. The same story says police almost exclusively carried revolvers until these came out.

Matthew 6:6

New International Version

6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

anyone who prays in public is a scumbag piece of shit liar

and as per philippians 4:6-7 you must speak your prayer out loud

so, that's two consistent points in favor of the idea you need to pray in private, out loud

if your social situation denies you this privacy, you need to change your situation

I've never heard that you must pray out loud. I guess it could be true for the Lord's Prayer, "when you pray, SAY..." But where in Phillipians 4:6-7 is the "out loud" part?

Suppose you want bitcoin to be money. Suppose you'd like to spend 10 bitcoin but only have 0.1 bitcoin worth of USD on hand. The tax rate is 15%. How do you send the 1.5 bitcoin to the tax man?

Sixteen years ago the second bitcoin block was mined, creating the first peer-to-peer electronic cash blockchain. For eight years an increasing number of people used bitcoin as such, as a medium of exchange, and they did so in an increasing number of exchanges. The hope that bitcoin could become the people's money against government wishes increased as well. Then a block limit was reached before a solution, whether temporary or lasting, was created. Transaction fees higher than legacy payment system fees prevailed. The people who used and promoted bitcoin split into many factions. Altcoin season began eight years ago and bitcoin has not recovered. Ironically, the flight to altcoins eight years ago relieved the pain for people who still use bitcoin for its original purpose. In a sense altcoins rescued bitcoin while privacy and scaling solutions are explored. Happy sixteenth anniversary, bitcoin blockchain.

Interesting comment — they’re not lumped together.

“Unprecedented human progress” coincided with the discovery of liquid and gaseous fossil fuels and the invention of the internal combustion engine. Our progress should be attributed to those, not fiat credit expansion.

Debt is a priority claim on an asset. Equity is a residual claim. There will always be a market for priority as there is less risk on priority claims. Therefore there will always be a credit market. The size of future credit markets, though, will be much smaller than it is today.

Coinbase is fractional reserve banking bitcoin. The more deposits they have, the easier this is. The exact % of reserves they’re holding isn’t clear but the larger share of the bitcoin market they have (with IBIT ETF, other ETFs, and MSTR they are probably over 1% of the total bitcoin supply, and a much higher percentage of the current Bitcoin issuance schedule). As the chance that there is a “run” on these coins is lower the more coins they have, they’re able to have fewer and fewer BTC on hand to meet market demands. This will only get worse with time if most new bitcoiners aren’t custodying their own coins.

Inflation is about the size of the numerator. As bitcoin is successful, that numerator is approaching a fixed 21M BTC supply cap. But if Coinbase and others are using fractional reserve banking than the paper equivalent of those coins will be higher. While this means we won’t experience as much deflation as they otherwise would, we won’t have inflation like we’ve become accustomed to - valued in $$.

IMO the biggest threat to Bitcoin is their ability to blunt NGU…which they’ll do using fractional reserve hodling and is enabled by MSTR and the ETFs not doing proof of reserves. I think it is pretty clear Coinbase is fractional reserving the Bitcoin they custody right now (at some level) and not very many of the bitcoiners on NOSTR seem to GAF…which is very confusing.

The establishment of gold was in response to central banking, fiat money, fiat credit expansion, and so forth. The unprecedented progress preceded the discovery of liquid and gaseous fossil fuels and the invention of the internal combustion engine. The unprecedented progress followed the attempt to acknowledge and embrace, in policy, previously popularized economic laws.
