Monthly reminder that hosted #bitcoin mining is a scam.

Buy bitcoin itself, or pickup a side hustle and convert profits to bitcoin, or buy equity in bitcoin miners, or mine at home with a whatsimmer or #bitaxe

But absolutely do not get into hosted mining. You will regret it

NEWS: After 56 years, the FDA today officially banned the use of Red Dye No. 3 in foods and beverages in the US.

Food manufacturers will have until Jan. 15, 2027 to reformulate their products. 3,200 brand-name food products contain Red 3.

"The FDA cannot authorize a food additive or color additive if it has been found to cause cancer in human or animals," Jim Jones, the FDA's deputy director for human foods, said in a statement.

-Boosts sensory abilities beyond normal (eyesight, hearing, etc).

-Boosts IQ or some other meaningful metric of intelligence and computation, thereby increasing your competitiveness in multiple fields. Becomes basically necessary for some fields due to many others doing it.

-Lets you enter VR with all five senses in a way that feels like 80-90% realistic but can be any environment/context. People make increasingly awe-inspiring virtual experiences/worlds, only accessible this way.

Today we celebrated the life of Aunt Terri.

She is a saint.

The room was packed with people who loved her for myriad reasons. All spoke of her grit, her kindness, her humor. I spent no small part of my childhood running around her house with my cousins. It was a couple blocks away along residential streets. We ran those streets all times of day and night on bikes and boards. Aunt Terri always kept an eye out. The smell of cigarette smoke, fresh coffee and newspaper wafted out the cracked window that opened with a crank. She sat at the table looking out, reading. Always a smile and cackle but zero tolerance for bullshit. I am grateful to have had such an explary example of being a rock solid foundation for family and community.

We'll miss you Aunt Terr.
