You're not really storing milk but it's energy. in 2 years my cow could stil not produce milk, so I could repay you in something else, like loaves of bread.

And yeah, if society is destroyed, your energy store is drained. Because it's a complicated system and what gives this battery its capacity is not just GDP but also the "metaphysical" belief and social contract that society places on it. That doesn't mean the energy is not stored, it means the battery is not very reliable.

I don't know if you're familiar w/ occult terminology, but it's an egregore: a metaphysical construct created by public. It has power and we charge it with energy. It stores the energy and can give it back. It is fallable and can fail miserably.

Another example: I can spend lots of energy working for a boss and he could underpay me. The amount of money he does pay me does have energy that I can either store in money or conver to callaries, etc. The energy stored in money he doesn't pay me doesn't just disappear. He still has that money that I made for him by working for him. He can use that energy on himself. Even if he burns that cash, that energy doesn't get destroyed but evenly sprad amonst the other dollars that are left in circulation (the opposite of inflation, the supply of cash decreases, thus increasing the price of the currency).

Not only is it not working, whatever I'm doing is ruining the ports. First the top port stopped reporting the inserted drive to lsblk now the second from top is no longer reporting it either

#Linix is such garbage #operatingSystem. WHOLE DAY today has been spent on tryingto get USB drives to auto mount and it still doesn't work. What a piece of shit.

Just 'cause something is etherial doesn't mean you cant measure it. Money is etherial, yet its value gets measured all the time.

It is, tho. You've basically stored a gallllon of milk withme for two years.

You go to work. You spend energy working. They give you money. You are then able to extract energy out of that money in form of callories (food), electricity (paying electric bill), etc. You can do it at a later date (the energy you have stored in money sits there until you decide to use it. Some of that energy can leak out in form of inflation (just like batteries are not 100% efficient at storing energy).

The capacity of the battery that is money is not determined by an individual, butthesociety at large. This is why currency can increase and decrease in value. If there is one dollar in existence for the entire country, 100% od the energy present in the country can be storer in that one dollar. If someone prints another dollar, now each dollar is worth 50% of thecountry's GDP,etc. It's more complicated than this, but you getthe gist.

Energy is weird and can be stored in weird ways. If you carry a bolulder up a hill and leave it there, the energy you've spent carrying the boulder up is stored in that boulder. It'scalled potential energy. The boulder can discharge that energy by falling. That energy can be used, forexample to damage a house underneath the hill.

Good morning! Cool photo.

Good morning. What are "reads"? How are they diff from notes?

It does though. It stores it using the mechanism you've just described. Energy is an etherial thing, taking many forms, changing forms, being present yet unseen in a lot of circumstances.

You can also think of money as points earned in a video game.

It's a store of energy. Like a battery.

Very cool!

Good morning!

Good morning. Not bad. Lucky.

Good morning! Great photo.

Good morning. Hoping to get some work done. Coding and business development. Maybe do someexercise and meditation? To be seen...

Good morning!

#GoodMorning, #Nostr.

Makes sense.

Wtf. Just saw the first mosquito of the year. Waay to early for these bloodsuckers. 😡
