Thinness as class indicator isn't incorrect, but it's a little reductionist, too. Modern diet is terrible for rich and poor, and obesity is more common in poorer demographics but not by so much as to thinking it causal. Healthy physique (read "at least not obese") could mean dietary discretion, gym girl, wealthy, or a combination.

I think Bitcoiners are unnecessarily suspicious of Trump. True, he's infatuated with the dollar system, and you can't blame him much because it's treated him very well, but he also sees the establishment or deep state like Bitcoiners do. America first policies are good for all Americans. He's also good for less war, which is good for us all.

He'll come around to Bitcoin. He's smart enough to understand it if it's presented well. His VP choice owns Bitcoin, so it's somewhat likely that Vance understands it and could relay to and educate Trump on it.

Woke up to this 🤯 Totally took me by surprise

Case and point.

I think it's more traditional values, but curviness is also an indicator of health, so mate selection bias may be there, too, not only technical fitness. In modern times, moderate thinness is also an indicator of health, so it's not one sided. There's also the balance between novelty and familiarity. It's an interesting discussion.

I like it, but I would say that AGI isn't equivalent to lightspeed. The limit of communication is the speed of light, but the limit of intellect isn't simply superhuman, but something much greater.

Torx (6-lobe) is better for high torque and impact applications. Other than that, spot on.

For too long, everyone was bought and paid for. I argue that the GOP was first to be infiltrated by allies of the people, and very few democrats, if any, are allies. Republican is the safer vote by a long shot, not to say they're perfect or really even a good choice, but they will tend to not hinder the common good as much as their Democrat counterparts.

As it stands, America first policies—the kind that promote our prosperity and freedom and not war and our degradation—are only touted by one side.

Bitcoin is inherently political because it has to do with the monetary interactions within the polity. Not to mean it's divisive or controversial, just that it says something about money, what it is and who ought to define it.

The best way Bitcoin gets adopted in America is to exclude it from capital gains tax. We should campaign for it! It has the dual effect of making it more liquid and unlocking vast cash reserves, and incentivizing investors to put more in it.

Yes, there are two components, however. There's the microclient that can go in a while bunch of places, and there's the WordPress integration to allow for moderation and easy embedding and theming/stylization, which will be mostly WordPress-speecific.

Idea: Nostr-based comments WordPress plugin.

Nostr micro-client built into the comment section for WordPress or other blogging site. Your follows come up first in the comments, but the comments and npubs can be moderated by the site owner when viewed via their site.

I'd love to get that going!

A parallel signing convention could cover both binary and JSON. The JSON and the binary could carry both signatures, so no matter the format in which it arrives, you always have a valid signature. This doubles the work for signers, but it might be useful for better systems compatibility, security, data volume, etc.

America: *soon*

*unless we can boot the senile geriatric and return to America-first policies (including deregulating energy, fixing the border, kicking out illegals, fixing the bad incentive structures, etc.)

Her: "Have you seen your moms? They're very strong"

Girl: "... Ummmm ..."

Her: "If your moms could lift with one hand in the pool, would you still want a dad?"

Girl: "Yes!"

You cannot replace what a father does psychologically to a girl. Even the subconscious effect of a man's presence in a home is highly important.

Well, to get paid to learn would be amazing, but I can't justify too much time to Rust until the rest of my business improves.
