Obstreperous Pedant | Came for the casino, stayed for the revolution. Diver tough veteran. LNG. 3D printing and CNC. monoculturalism is our strength.

This is an interesting problem to try and solve. My first thought is always "easy, put up a skull and crossbones.".

but then, in 10,000 years people could think it's just a ward and the really good stuff must be buried here.

They didn't stop beefing up the engine until the transaxle was too weak and had to go. hahaha.

April fool's right guys? They wouldn't just plunge us into the dark ages while lining their own pockets.

Anyone got any good Christian podcast recommendations?

Trying Lord of Spirits atm, it's often recommended. https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/lordofspirits

I know it's not a podcast but also into Father Spyridon's YouTube

https://youtu.be/X5RHgjROP2c

These might be obvious choices.

What's the best way to reach #christian nostr? #asknostr #godstr , tagging nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl

Jordan Peterson has a whole series on Genesis and I think he recently did exodus but maybe that's paywalled at Daily Wire. Took my Bible comprehension to a whole other level.

I crashed my mini 3 pro using the panoramic rotate auto pilot. That thing was out of commission for like 6 months getting parts. side vision sensors must be nice...

They were lost in the Arctic for TWO YEARS and not a single one died. PRetty sure I would have been the first to go...

You’ve probably seen GreenpeaceUSA's Bitcoin report by now, and my response (if you haven't been blocked).

Here’s six things that every environmentalist, Bitcoin advocate, regulator, policymaker and media representative should know about GreenpeaceUSA.

I've had this information for over a year, but have held back on going public with it until now because there were initially signs that GreenpeaceUSA would be open to engaging with environmentalists within the Bitcoin community.

With them now blocking me from commenting on their tweets, all hope of that has now ended. So here's what I can tell you about GreenpeaceUSA, and their campaign that have not been aired publicly until now, and which may surprise you.

Firstly, some context: I’m a former volunteer environmental campaigner with Greenpeace. I once risked arrest to stand up for causes I believed in, including an anti-GMO campaign against McDonalds which was successful within 6 weeks, and hailed as an example of how creative direct action can yield fast results. One of the differences: we talked to McDonalds (something no one at GreenpeaceUSA is currently doing with the Bitcoin community).

I know a number of people in the environmental movement, and I would like to thank them for their honesty in whistleblowing on a thoroughly misguided campaign from GreenpeaceUSA from start to finish.

1. GreenpeaceUSA’s campaign does NOT have the backing of Greenpeace International. In fact, other branches have asked questions of GreenpeaceUSA’s tactics, and even said that their campaign is damaging the Greenpeace brand, and has resulted in the loss of subscriptions.

2. Within GreenpeaceUSA, there are a growing number of voices of discontent. There is a growing division between some of the younger crypto-neutral or crypto-friendly millennial in their base, and the directorship of GreenpeaceUSA

3. As we know, GreenpeaceUSA did receive a $5Million donation from Ripple’s chair Chris Larsen to run an anti-Bitcoin campaign. What you probably do not know is that within Greenpeace, several staff have questioned whether this is ethical, or in the spirit of an organization that says it relies only on grassroots funding in its sign-up pledge.

4. Some members of EWG and SierraClub, particularly younger members, were not enamoured with their organization’s collusion with GreenpeaceUSA’s “Change the Code” campaign. EWG has not engaged in anti-Bitcoin rhetoric since 6 April ‘23.

5. The head of GreenpeaceUSA’s “Change the Code” campaign has stepped down and is no longer any part of GreenpeaceUSA. At the time of his stepping down he was reported by a source within GreenpeaceUSA to be questioning the wisdom of the campaign.

6. Within GreenpeaceUSA, we know from multiple inside sources that the Change the Code campaign has been widely acknowledged to have been “not particularly successful”. GreenpeaceUSA’s campaign got off on the wrong foot right from the start, by antagonising environmentalists within the Bitcoin community, such as me. Here’s its half-time report (TL;DR, the worst performing environmental campaign I’ve ever witnessed). https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/greenpeace-environment-attacks-help-bitcoin… Now, the campaign is in more disarray than ever, resorting to tenuous ad hominem attacks against Satoshi Action, based on the discover that one of their supporters is a climate denier. True. Well, guess what: one of their supporters is also a plant-based, tree-hugging, climate-activist & meditation teacher: me. That’s the beauty of Bitcoin: it pulls people in from across the political spectrum: we are as diverse as society itself, and that’s what makes us strong. As I wrote recently, “when the ship you’re standing on is sinking: it doesn’t matter if you’re on the left of right side of it.”

I hoped GreenpeaceUSA would end their anti-Bitcoin campaign before their credibility and relevance to the new generation of millennials they are currently disenfranchising is completely severed.

But it seems at the moment they are more intent on doubling down on misinformation. Their leadership must change for them to ever have hope of becoming a true voice for the environment again.

I think that's one of the coolest parts about Bitcoin. Even if people have different views on some things, it allows them to establish common ground first. Either you get it and your incentives are aligned, or you don't and will forever be irrelevant. Everything is good for Bitcoin.

Trying to buy a car. Limited out on bank transfer. Thought I could do him a solid and give him an #opendime with the balance. We're not there yet fellas...

Actually that was a great resource. I looked up all the names of people who promote this diet to find out when they died, so I could calculate all-cause mortality of people promoting carnivore versus people promoting any one of (mediterranean, vegetarian or vegan). Most are still alive (and young).

This "study" of mine suffers from selection bias. I have to pick people who are known, known to have strongly promoted and followed the diet, and who died, and we know what age they died at (the reason they died is not included because that is too easy to fake or lie about or requires us to investigate uncertain causal links -- even when we know it was a car accident for example).

I'm happy to add more people if they are famous and the data for them is published, it's an open ongoing study. To counteract my selection bias, I encourage you to point me to more Carnivore people who lived long, or more Vegetarian people who died young. But they have to be famous known people who publicly promoted the diet.

I added my ancestors to the vegetarian list even though they don't fit the criteria, because their data doesn't actually change the number much (makes it slightly lower) and it just makes it more certain for me that this isn't some mistake.

Carnivore (this group just started with your data, thank you):

Owsley Stanley: 76

Vilhjalmur Stefansson: 83

Barry Groves 77

Walter L Voegtlin 71

Blake F Donaldson 73

Atkins 72

Dr. Alfred W Pennington 56

Charles Poliquin 57

Average: 70.625

Mediterranean, Vegetarian or Vegan:

Dame Harriette Chick 102

Caldwell Esselstyn 90

Blackburn, Henry 97

John Harvey Kellogg 91

Ancel Keys 100

Jack Lalanne 96

Nathan Pritikin 69

Jeremiah Stamler 102

Ellen G White 87

My G. Great Grandma Gass 99 (SDA vegetarian)

My Great Grandma Paxton 89 (SDA vegetarian)

My Grandma 79 (SDA vegetarian)

Average: 91.75

Seems like the carnivore people die 20 years younger.

no serious person would try to draw conclusions from n=20
