Too much #Bitcoin content

10 years ago maybe, certainly not the case today

You can either do it in post processing or install a separate camera app (e.g. BlackCam, Hypocam)

Enabling RAW export in your Pixel is advisable for post processing btw, but even Google photos can give decent results

Urban vs Jungle: continuing the black and white experiment.

Simple phone camera (Pixel 6a) to force myself to focus on the light and composition and not get distracted by too many options

It's 100% an attempt to counter China and stay relevant in the Pacific. China currently far outweigh the US in ship building capacity

NWC is a seemingly small, but really massive improvement in zapping UX. It's going to bankrupt me 😬

Experimenting a bit with black and white photography during the morning walk. Looks like this could be our last day of winter ❄️

Bonus tip: elderflower syrup 😋

Super easy to make and delicious in summer! Kids love it

As long as you're not in the tropics or the polar regions there's probably a species suitable for your local climate

Here in NL nearly every house in the countryside has one or a few elderberry's planted close to it. Most people forgot why, but it's still very visible especially in May when they flower (elderflower syrup, yummy 😋)

If you're going on a "super long and challenging mission" doubling (or even quintupling as you suggest) the payload makes it exponentially harder and more challenging.

But also, NASA doesn't have the "freedom to fail" and learn while doing in the same way that Space X has for example, because it's taxpayer money instead of VC money and politicians don't like explaining failures

Cavity search? 😬

Government don't need a Bitcoin reserve. They need to make it legal tender and cancel capital gains taxes on it. And if it's not too much to ask, please also ditch the FATF 😁

Today I find myself agreeing with Peter Schiff. Strange times we live in...

We (the people) certainly don't need an XRP reserve. We (the Royal we) use it to extract more wealth from plebs

Time to stay humble and stack sats again....

It's legally not US govt property. Normally it should be returned to Ross Ulbricht (he's received a full pardon, so the SilkRoad BTC is no longer criminal revenue) and Bitfinex. But I'm sure Trump will find an excuse to steal it

This would be a real blessing... the longer the US Govt keep their tiny little hands off of #Bitcoin the better for everyone

But yeah, tell me again that the FAA, USAID and NOAA were full of "fraud, waste and abuse" but XRP, SOL and ADA are fine 😂

He seems to be utterly confused about things like value, insurance, investment and cost, to start with...
