Oh wow, they finally figured out what was fucking obvious to everyone with a conscious since the very first day…

I mean, I guess this is good news but it really only makes me hate them more. nostr:note1y9e22zxxas5pqc94es5jeu246qzcgapew6we7u9ca4l4u8sv3m4smurcfq

It only works on a short term time scale. On the long term if they are obligating themselves with paper debts that they can’t fulfill, then it will bite them in the ass. #Bitcoin doesn’t care

That

I don’t know how some of you actually watch the debate and think there’s anything meaningful to extract from it. It’s deck chairs on the titanic. Elected officials don’t even run the govt.

Case in point, we don’t have a president, and nothing’s changed.

It’s literally reality TV. It’s governance theater. Your vote doesn’t matter. If it did, you wouldn’t be allowed to do it.

There is no way to ship unrefrigerated meat and nobody should eat that after it’s taken 2 days to get to a bunch of people without any power 😂

Sigh... this was supposed to be nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs's post about chocolate bitcoins for halloween, but Primal has been super acting up for me lately and it will constantly post the last thing i posted in the "repost" despite clicking it on a completely different one 🤦‍♂️

omg, I'm totally doing this too. Someone is about to make a killing selling these 🤣

1000000%

It's so wild how powerful it is for funds to flow as easily and quickly as conversation. Thank you so much for your donation, I'll make sure to get as much out of every sat 🙏 🙏

(all my zaps for the next month will continue to be forwarded to the recovery, fyi 🧡 )

Of course it started to rain, lol. but tons of people were lined up donating. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

I just wanted to say thank you guys so much!!! I’m adding all the says I had in my wallet to it, but in BTC on chain we’ve got about 1.8mil ($1200 worth), and on Lightning we got another 500k sats or so ($600).

(NoBoDy UsES LiGhTNinG BtW🥴)

Nostr is such a demonstration of the world we are building. Multiple friends and family are blown away that I could just make a post and people from anywhere in the world could just donate instantly and sats start streaming in.

A number of people in our home towns are also getting together church donations, packing them up and heading to the mountains. The in laws even sent a Lightning donation! (One of their very few Lightning transactions, so that was fun)

They are going to need help for a long time going forward, but luckily NC (and honestly the south in general) has a really strong sense of community still and I know they will get help. My friend is doing well, got a few hours sleep and is back out with search and rescue. He knows about the funds now (he’s also a bitcoiner) and is finding the best place for them and I’ll update everyone when I get them delivered. ❤️❤️

Seriously, thank you guys so much 🙏🏻🫡 nostr:note1sgkm9zhplgn0808yszsdhgu9y6lkqygcwspqs30qalclwyr93shsfuly3n

I’ve always used hardibacker screws because they hold so well. Anytime I have some place to repair that’s what I use. Granted I use screws for literally everything. I have like one box of nails and honestly don’t even know why, lol. Haven’t used any in years of building stuff 😂

My brother just updated with a Facebook post of someone who found a path into/out of Asheville, NC!

For those in the area or trying to make their way in or out save this info and share it with friends!

"!! UPDATE ON FINDING A ROUTE HOME:

*if you are in Asheville, trying to get out (and have service to see

this post) listen up*

We finally found a route home!

We started on 240 West

Made our way down to 19 and 23 West

Took the Upward road to Hendersonville (exit 53)

Then turned left onto Spartanburg Highway

Turned left on 25 North to 26

Exit 8 onto 26

Exit 67 to Columbus

(Hendersonville, East Flat Rock, Columbus)

*there are places to get gas in Hendersonville but that's the

closest to Asheville we saw*

THIS IS NOT A QUICK ROUTE. ITLL TAKE YOU A FEW HOURS

BUT IT WORKS.

After that you should be in the clear!"

Yeah I always think of the mountains as not at risk of this sort of stuff having been on the coast all my life and living in "hurricane path." But then you realize that if the mountains get hit with torrential amounts of rain, it isn't just some extra water covering the roads. It's torrents of water crashing down the side of a mountain and taking out roads, homes, entire towns, mud slides that take whole sections of the mountain, and every other terrifying thing you could imagine. And even worse is that because its on a mountain, they almost invariably have just one or two roads to access the there places. So it's so easy to get completely cut off with barely any options.

A lot of these towns are literally only accessible by helicopter right now.

I had no idea how bad it was until finding out that my friends in Asheville haven't been in contact with anyone since 7:30AM.

We suspect they are ok and we know that my best friend is out with the search and rescue crew in the area, but his wife is at home with a small baby without power and hopefully with enough supplies to make it through. But the whole area in Western NC looks awful and we have no idea how long before they can even be reached. I've tried to collect as much as I can quickly for what's going on.

Blowing Rock and Boone, NC have been hit seriously bad, we literally go there every year, its one of our favorite places in the world.

Chimney Rock has been essentially wiped out and there is still danger of the Lure Lake dam breaking, but so far it seems to have held even though the water is flowing over it. I haven't heard anything new from that and hopefully the biggest danger is past now.

My friend's parents are trapped in Black Mountain, NC (not far from Asheville) but we've gotten word from them they the road has been destroyed and they are trying to figure out how to get to my friend's wife and get out, but it seems there are no roads accessible. It's all just an asstounding mess.

A lot of these places literally have just one or two roads in and out of them, and it seems like main accesses all over the place have just been decimated. Praying for these guys.

There is a gofundme that is specifically regarding efforts in Boone for anyone who wants to donate. If you zap these posts I'll pay it forward to them if you want to use sats.

lol, I'll be sure to forward the message. I needed that actually 🤣

Jonathan will get a kick out of it when i tell him. Thanks man 🙏🏻

Damn dude congrats!! nostr:note1shez9mjkxlddk8uhc0dvajadp4qsn8smk459js40u4ucc85qs5esywgwhp

I honestly wouldn't have known. Unless this is literally a scam and not ai, (arcads), i had no obvious way to tell it was fake.

And it doesn’t matter if you want to sow division or not, when you say “as a straight, white male” to preface your position, you sow it regardless. Because you literally establish the mental framing that this is a critical part of your argument, and the next time the reader listens to someone else, they immediately think “I wonder if this is a straight white male?” Because you taught them to.

How you think about the problem precedes the solution. EVERY time

I don’t see how it’s relevant. Bitcoin uses CPU power to establish a global consensus or “canonical truth” of Bitcoin’s history. Nostr and spam aren’t really relevant, other than PoW could maybe be used to protect against spammers flooding a relay by having non-paying or non-invite or non-WoT users provide a small PoW in order to broadcast to the relay specifically.

Otherwise the idea of competing processing power doesn’t apply unless we are all trying to find a single global state and agree on which is the “real” one.

I’m gonna get one of these for my adjectives.

Gonna tell people they have to refer to me as “genius Guy” today. nostr:note1d27jmsp65vpujvc8peg6g248f77z522k4455kaztkw5e3rajkrnq89ms9m
