Steak ’n Shake goes ALL IN on #bitcoin, creating a strategic reserve, donating to OpenSats, and ditching seed oils for beef tallow.

I tried ordering with BTC at one of their locations and realized they are using two POS providers, one for cuck bucks and another for BTC. Naturally the BTC POS wasn’t working.
War is quickly becoming Enders Game. I don’t know how I feel about it.
Nobody monitors the situation like a toad monitors the situation.
Went through the airport for the first time in a long while. Haven’t experienced the facial recognition in practice until now.
Fuck that shit. Gives me the creeps.
TSA is now the Travel Surveillance Agency.
Bad take.
Since when did productive and depraved become an inverse relation to one another. And how can you assume lower castes are more depraved than the productive? It’s not the lower caste (whatever that is) who is responsible for the boom in AI tools being widely developed and dispersed. Nor are they the drivers of this depravation. Evil leaves its mark on everything it touches, not just those less capable.
To whom much is given, much will be required.
Try viewing people on the basis of their individual human dignity and not according to the classification of their circumstances or abilities.
What becomes of us after the death of all virtue?
Any productivity benefits to society from AI is void by the sheer depravity these tools will unleash. Go look up “Tilly Norwood” and you’ll see why damn near every sci-fi/fantasy novel is set in a time post thinking-machine Armageddon.
We must not blur the lines between the real and the non real. The war about transgender pronouns is going to appear minuscule compared to the war on reality that’s about to be waged.
The more I see AI develop the more I believe these tools are straight from the pits of hell. I used to think there was a balanced argument between the pros and cons and we could walk the tightrope. I no longer believe it’s possible.

One unsolicited marriage tip. You must never talk bad or complain about your spouse to anyone. Ever. If you have a problem with your spouse you talk to her (or him). When you complain outside of your marriage you weaken yourself and damage your spouse. Don’t do it.
A civilization has died when its citizens start having to put their own furniture together. We used to have artisans and guilds for these kinds of things.
It’s the same reason militaries scout terrain before moving troops. You don’t wander blind into an ambush. You map the field.

Did this on a walk this evening. Cameras on every house and every corner. Quite astonishing when you pay attention to it. All fed back to the centralized cloud which I’m sure is riddled with doors to every agency and corporation that wants it.
Socialism is the last stage of democracy
What say you?
I don’t think the U.S. government should own any public or private company. And we should not cheer this.
This is another step towards the Chinese model that we so fervently “fight”.
My favorite part about this is seeing the random dudes on boats in the middle of absolute nowhere.

Bitcoin Exposes Zombie Economies
If the tool has been found, it acts as a forcing function that requires a completely different subset of actions and thought. Whereas, if the tool has not yet been found there’s nothing to change.
I dont think they ever expected the best chance solution to be found in their lifetime, and in a mechanism they couldn’t have imagined, therefore it can’t be it.
In light of the now recent Tucker interview, re: Dave Collum, and all boomers really.
There’s something illogical about recognizing the stranglehold the “deep state” “oligarch” “Elite” -insert whatever name you want for them- class of people have over our society, yet at the same time ceding the most powerful tool we have to dethrone them via the flimsy “well they’re so powerful they’ll never let it happen” narrative.
Why did most slave societies never revolt? It wasn’t always because they couldn’t, it was because they *thought* they couldn’t.
Some videos from inside Russia and occupied Ukraine showing the massive lines for fuel. Ukraine's campaign against Russian refineries and other oil infrastructure is becoming successful enough that fuel prices in Russia are rising and gas stations are rationing it. In some places you need Russian government approval to buy gasoline; ordinary civilians can't get it legally at any price.

It's not hard. Russia's wars end when their economy is collapsed and they can't afford to fight.
If there is any attractive incentive at all for why a household should have a Tesla with an associated solar array and powerwall it is this. If all of your energy needs are reliant on the oil and gas oligarchs you have given over complete control. When times are good obviously this is no issue, but times are not always good.
This is not an economic decision, it is a sovereignty decision. One that should not be ignored.

A Forest Service friend saw some javelina tracks behind his office building so he put a trail camera out. One of the coolest shots you’ll see on a trail cam.

At my company I routinely work with a contractor in Costa Rica. It pains me every time I see our CFO release the international wire transfer to pay invoices.
Problem is he’s 61 and will never understand the utility even as it stares him in the face. Sometimes generations must pass.
How long until we can break the digital gold wrapper?
