May well be all there's to it, but he has inextricably tied himself to their cause and has a lot riding on Israel staying relevant if nothing else

I'm not so sure, their drama is kicking up a lot of resentment towards Israel by drawing attention to closely related issues - can't be what anyone involved wants

It wasn't in the world, and now it is. And that's better

You have to find a relationship where, at least some of the time, you will go and join the other regardless of what they are doing

Almost ready to start growing in my small basement room. Last year I put hvac all over the house and bought my first miner, which has been keeping us warm ever since.

Now that heat will also go towards producing some greens with the help of home assistant automations and a lot of DIY learning 😁

Are you thinking they'll be speculating or otherwise distorting prices perhaps? I don't foresee them staring to eat my cheese or buying up all the toilet paper

Sexiest two guys I ever saw

I do! I think that will come about by people producing things for me to purchase, which they by the way were able to do for thousands of years without a government telling them to by fiat

I save and I buy stuff that I can afford to, excluding those things I deem too expensive. I will not be buying upgrading the RAM on any of our PCs in the near future, as our fiat hasn't kept the price of it very stable recently and I therefore am priced out at the moment

Oh, and Samurai swords. Starmer was very proud of that one! 😅

Mises was one of the first to point out that socialism is not only a failed economic system, but also a manifestation of resentment. In Human Action, Mises argues that socialism is driven not by a genuine desire for justice, but by hatred of others’ success. In his analysis, he identifies what he calls the “resentment of the mediocre,” an attitude that seeks to destroy those who excel instead of lifting those who are below. Socialism, according to Mises, is a rebellion against the natural inequality of talent, effort, and merit; it is a doctrine that attempts to impose by force an equality that human reality denies.

Friedrich Hayek, in The Road to Serfdom, warned that socialism not only leads to political totalitarianism but also to the moral degeneration of the individual. For Hayek, collectivism eliminates personal responsibility and fosters servility, rewarding obedience and punishing autonomy. Central planning, by suppressing the spontaneity of social order, also suffocates the virtues that sustain civilization: effort, frugality, honesty. In this way, socialism not only impoverishes materially but also corrupts spiritually.

Murray Rothbard was even more forceful in denouncing the immoral nature of socialism. In his writings, especially in The Ethics of Liberty, Rothbard argues that socialism is the very negation of natural law. According to him, those who promote it do not seek justice but institutionalized plunder. Rothbard emphasizes that socialism is based on envy: the desire to appropriate the fruits of others’ labor, disguised as altruism and compassion. Instead of dignifying the poor, it turns them into an instrument to legitimize state violence against the productive.

Jesús Huerta de Soto, following the Misesian and Rothbardian tradition, has described socialism as a “spiritual disease of modernity.” In his lectures and writings, Huerta de Soto argues that socialism is born of hatred for individual freedom and a nihilistic attitude toward life. For him, behind the socialist ideal lies a destructive impulse, a will to power disguised as social justice. The socialist, in his analysis, does not want to help the poor: he wants to destroy the rich. Socialism is, therefore, an ideology of resentment, of rancor toward the natural order that emerges from the free exchange among free individuals.

It seems to me interesting that at the same time that we have this rampantly spreading growth of states and socialism within them, we also have an unprecedented concentration of wealth in a very tiny population.

My wife works independently in the beauty industry, and she has almost exclusively middle aged or older women as clients, none of whom are likely to have any experience in bitcoin.

I have been mulling over the idea that it might be possible to set up purchase orders on robosats that her clients could transfer to rather than pay her cash. Any thoughts on the feasibility of that, or better services to use for something similar?

**Bitcoin mining air-conditioner proof of concept!**

https://v.nostr.build/Dzl2wLzEWCEKvApl.mp4

A S19 KPro running at 1400w on 110v power blows hot air past a radiator coated with wet zeolite clay inside an empty s19 enclosure. The moisture in the wet clay aggressively evaporates as the hot dry air blows past it creating a cooling effect. The cooled water from the radiator is pumped to a second radiator which absorbs heat and humidity from the air creating a cooler ambient air temperature. This is just the initial setup to see if the concept even remotely works. It's clear from a few sort tests that it is working so I'll continue to iterate on the design.

Badass. Interested to see how effective it is!
