Overheard two young people on my way to the airport: “If your dog dies, you gotta report it right? Like, how else would the government know?"

Dude, the government doesn't have to be involved in every single aspect of your life...

A really nice thing about lightning is you can fix liquidity problems for other people yourself. The node these Ukraine donations go to had just a single, small, channel and payments were failing. So I opened a big channel, and now donations are going through.

You know, if this were actually true, given how much Dom is hated by the establishment – and the fact that in the US, any distribution of CSAM materials is extremely illegal – he'd probably already have federal charges against him.

But so far that hasn't happened. Good chance there's something else going on, eg he posted blurred images, didn't actually post an explicit part of the video, etc.

The claim is he posted a screenshot of a video, and I've heard claims that the screenshot was blurred. Without seeing the image, we don't know what exactly happened.

If the above is true, saying that is "posting CSAM" gives readers a dishonest impression of what he did. I've personally seen mainstream news agencies distribute screenshots (usually blurred) of CSAM videos before to provide viewers context.

It'd make a lot more technical sense to have a burn aggregator that did an on-chain burn with a merkle sum tree. You could also make it a tokenized protocol to make it possible to pay for it trustlessly.

Looks like YouTube music had a hard time putting what I listen to into genres last year.

(and I have no idea how "Ukrainian Electo" got 4%; I've got, like, half a dozen Ukrainian songs in my playlists)

Part of that is nonsense: there's no reason to think an electric sub would have hydrocarbon vapors.

It is true that the air would dramatically increase in temperature due to compression. But the total heat energy of that wouldn't be high enough to burn the bodies completely. More likely the mechanical forces of the implosion would have shredded them.
