What's your budget?

Someone just burst my bubble, in a big way, is all. 😏

People are going to end up indentured to the people who already hold a lot of Bitcoin because making money off of money requires little effort or talent.

Harden up, yes. But also be wise enough to discern between "the trolls" and "people who just don't agree with you". If someone wants to review the conversation from this morning and find the places where I was trolling or being needlessly rude and antagonistic, they can be my guest - there's no delete nor edit on nostr. There's not a whole lot I would have said differently. Maybe if I knew how sensitive she is I would have couched a few things a bit more, but that gets exhausting after a while.

Easier for everyone for her to just mute me I guess? Let's hope I never have anything of value she'd prefer to see. "Mute" is a pretty strong action - saying that there's nothing you could possibly want to see from this account.

Not sure what you're talking about re: shitcoin communities.

Bitcoin deflates on a schedule, but it has additional attition through the retirement of coins.

what are you talking about. why do you keep changing the topic. we were talking about medical radiographs

they are simiilar but no, that is incorrect. they are not the same. cameras are for photographs. Radiographs aren't the same. you are reaching here if you think they are. I have never once heard of a medical radiography device be referred to as a camera.

there is an important distinction between a visible light source that a camera uses and the ionising radiation made by an x-ray tube

ok, to be clear we are talking about radiographs. not cameras

that was for radiation therapy, not diagnostic radiography. I have been careful to only talk about diagnostic imaging. Also, that unfortunate event is from almost 40 years ago.

Yes, I have heard about it MANY times in the countless radiation safety courses that have interupted my clinical time. This is my point

no, there are not. Our diagnostic radiography equipment is so over-engineered and redundantly safe that it would not be possible to create a meaningful amount of radiation from them.

The problem is that the staff are trained to care TOO MUCH about the imagined dangers. It is a waste of valuable time and resources.

dose of radiating ionisation measured in Sieverts (or rather microsieverts - µSv).

Maybe I'm missing something here, but #amethyst has rendered simple markdown in my notes since I started using it a year ago Feb. Whether they were always tagged as kind 01, I've no clue.

under a certain biologic threshold, there is a dose of x-rays that is harmless

The big issue I have with Primal is that the kyc info they gather from you when you sign up for the wallet is tied to your npub. Big red flag

the real problem is patients who fear or avoid medical/dental xrays.

Knowing whether or not you have an actual infection/pathology is MUCH more important than avoiding some miniscule, almost none existent dose of radiation. the amount of energy and time it takes to convince patients to take a simple xray when they come in excruciating pain is absolutely nonsensical.

That said, I will continue to operate by the ALARA principle. But ALARA for me just means to avoid using imaging willy-nilly. if there is ANY reasonable benefit to be gained from a diagnostic film, we take the radiograph

there has never been and never will be a deflationary currency until bitcoin stops emitting new tokens

just should point that out... the supply of gold increases and has increased at 1-3% for all of recorded history by estimation, based on the sales of new gold from miners

i'm a tail emissions guy, so, my pet theory is that when the current precision of bitcoin is untenable it will be upgraded and emissions will continue at the same rate, most likely, just that previously there was nothing smaller than 1 sat... there is already millisats in LN protocol and as Mises points out, a fixed currency base does not preclude price calculation, in fact it makes it easier

Just a domain I registered to run nodes and relays.

Wow sorry, billions of typos! Fixed:
