This is an interesting statement - can you elaborate?

Vehicle maintenance is mandatory. I want to keep this car until after the next halving.

The 21-Foot Handgun Drill is Bullshit, Always Has Been

This drill unfolds as follows: a guy with a knife in hand initiates an attack and usually "wins", meaning he touches the gun guy with a fake knife before the gun guy can fake shoot the knife guy.

As if that is a "kill". As if the gun guy can't now shoot the knife guy many, many times. But that isn't even the real bullshit.

Have the knife guy put the knife in a scabbard, and let the gun guy initiate the attack. The bull 💩 becomes instantly obvious. The real lesson is that the attacker, in all situations, tends to have the advantage. This is true from a street attack all the way up to state-on-state military conflict.

The attacker doesn't always win but, statistically, wins far more often than not. Look at every major war in history, and you'll see this is the case. In fact, the nations that we often say "lost" — like Germany in WWII — only lost when they stopped being the attacker and became the defender.

Some reading this won't like it because it grates against the "taught truth", but the taught truth is taught because it's seldom simply true. It is, instead, a construct that generally is false. In many instances, it's the truth hiding in a lie, as it is here.

What the drill should teach you is that having a gun doesn't guarantee you'll survive or win in a fight, even if your attacker doesn't have one. Substitute a hammer for the knife, and the attack becomes even more potentially deadly. You're more likely to survive a stab wound than a blow to the head with a ball peen hammer that can be bought in any hardware store for under 20 bucks.

You could be a Navy SEAL, a Green Beret — it doesn't matter. If someone wants you dead and you don't know it, you're likely dead. The most badass soldier you know can be approached from behind and hit in the head, resulting in death in less than a second. People hate this type of truth because it makes them realize how at risk they really are. That's the point of the 21-foot drill, but most people who teach it don't understand the real lesson.

just dca a tiny portion of what you're wanting to smash buy every day (or hour) until you hit your target, then dump the rest in.

thats the smart guy advice. my real life pattern is more like fuck it, just buy some. and then maybe some more tomorrow if I have anything left.

When I say 'we' here I mean the majority of society, to the extent that permission was therefor granted to the State to carry out the full folly of covid.

Sorry, I can't create an image :(

“We?”

Who has read the bitcoin whitepaper—I mean really read it?

Would anyone be interested in starting a Nostr Nest where we just read it out loud, line-by-line and discuss it?

🚨 BREAKING: IN THE PAST 24 HOURS EVERY US LAWMAKER RECEIVED A #BITCOIN  BOOK ON THEIR DESK

535 US lawmakers and 2,000 of their staffers were introduced to #BTC  yesterday by an army of plebs and there’s a copy of a Bitcoin book sitting on their desk. This is The #Bitcoin  Social Layer at work.

It’s easy to say “oh they won’t read it”. That’s beside the point. Whether they read it or not, surely more US lawmakers are talking about #Bitcoin  today in the halls of the capitol than any other day since the inception of #Bitcoin .

Doubtful anyone can change that fast 😁
