I agree on junk food but I don’t have any problem with Indian food. A good Indian meal is delicious.

As an immigrant myself, I believe that anyone who emigrates to the US to realize the American dream has a sacred duty to ensure that the dream remains available to future generations. That means embracing the American values that make this country, and the American dream, a reality. Without the American values, there is no American dream.

And you can’t embrace these values if you don’t speak the language.

Plus is rude towards the society that is welcoming you. I lived for 3 years in Finland and made a point of learning some Finnish even though you could get by with English and many foreigners did exactly that.

The internet was invented by ARPA/DARPA (U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), Tor was invented by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and SELinux, which is a vital security component in Linux systems, was invented by the NSA.

Nothing would happen, but it's called analytical thinking, and for a journalist to say this is fucking bullshit.

What would happen if the universe had been invented by the CIA?

If the CIA invented Bitcoin, according to the idiot Tucker Carlson (I'll explain why he's an idiot or stupid at the end), then:

- Gavin Andresen is recruited by the CIA, based on the facts. The CIA sends Gavin an invitation to talk to them about Bitcoin, and when Satoshi finds out, it's one of the reasons for his disappearance, along with Wikileaks.

- After this, Gavin Andresen becomes a bad actor and promotes increasing the block size, more reason to believe he was recruited by the CIA.

- Wikileaks adopts Bitcoin to cancel its accounts, PayPal, etc., and this is more than enough reason for Satoshi to fear for his life, more reason to believe that the CIA did not invent Bitcoin.

- Craig Wright is nothing more than an attack on Bitcoin through the judicial system at its breaking point, the developers, and financed by a CIA informant, Calvin Ayre.

- LND has close ties to the WEF. This is no conspiracy; it appears on their own website and is more than evident when you realize that they are the ones holding back privacy in Lightning, preventing BOLT12 from becoming a de facto standard.

- The CIA has gotten deeply involved in the development of Bitcoin Core, trying to change its nature. You only have to look at people like Petter Todd and his statements, which also prove that the CIA did not create Bitcoin.

Another very different issue is whether the CIA now controls Bitcoin or could control it, but I certainly don't believe it created it. And this is why Tucker is a complete moron and idiot, because he hasn't done the job a journalist is supposed to do.

Gm! Last morning waking up to this view in nostr:nprofile1qqs254dy0xkkjdxsl4u08k7cs52u689q67s3pqfwwyfcp4va7avcjdgprpmhxue69uhkc6t8dp6xu6twvaex2mrp0yhxxmmdqyvhwumn8ghj7am9d33k7mt99ehx7um5wgh8w6twv5hsvt2rwz 🙏

And thanks to all the plebs that made our time here in #CostaRica meaningful. Meeting bitcoiners IRL is a superpower. 💪

You all give me hope and renewed energy. A new way is possible. Change is possible. Community is possible. We are building it in real time!!! LFG, love you all 🤙

Clarkson’s got a point! #PV

you should try great ghee

Just got my AQUA wallet dolphin card and make an online purchase for some biltong. This is too good to be true in the UK, right?

My next #permaculture #bookstr.

Is there any mechanism by which you could leverage this Bitcoin? Eg deposit your pension money into a LEDN BTC 2X account where they custody your Bitcoin, using it as collateral to lend you the same amount of Bitcoin? You have double the exposure.

Is this possible (as opposed to sensible or risky).

I've got a few bigger bones that I rotate into each new #compost pile. I figure it is contributing calcium and any other minerals it contains.

Why the fuck do people think cold calling/emailing engineers is the right way to get your foot in the door at a new company?

First successful Enoki #mushroom grow! They like cold temperatures and high CO2 so these little guys have been growing in my fridge for a few months now.

Ah, thank you very much ❤️ Now I'll have to get round to posting something from the garden or woods 🙂

I am forced to purchase some Bitcoin from Revolut.

I'm now battling to get it off the exchange.

The confirm button greys out when I select it.

I hate banks.

The timing chain in my vehicle is failing. Now every time I press the gas pedal, it sounds like the intro to Audioslave's Cochise. It's hard to be sad about it, when I'm flashbacked into a badass music video every time I drive 😅

There is so much taste inside of elderflowers. Last year I dried about the same amount and my stocks go empty now. Time to restock 🌸 No need to add sugar!! 🤍

The strawberry & asparagus companionship might be the most synergistic planting pair I've seen in action. It's insane how well they tend to each other.

Any recommendations for PoE IP cameras?

I have Unifi at home, but looking for something more suited to vehicles.

Reolink looks interesting.

I'm not going to declare the actual numbers, but this is the actual reality.

My wife contributed £0.45p

The employer contributed £0.45p

At maturity, after 25 years, the pension pot was £1

After tax, we received £0.76p

The amount was not even close to £268,275.

Some pension experience for the younger plebs thinking of starting a private pension.

My wife started a private pension 25 years ago. She paid in a fixed monthly amount matched by her employer.

After 25 years it matured, my wife was given the option to re-invest, but being Bitcoiners, we decided to cash out to become self sovereign.

If we include the matched employer contributions, the pension has lost money. However on just my wife’s contribution, it has made, after 24% capital gains tax, about 60% gain in total.

However, as inflation has caused at least 50% loss of value over 25 years, then in absolute terms it has lost money.

Next, pension companies, like banks don’t like giving you your money. Despite the payout date being the 15th April, we only received the money after a lot of hassle and threats of issuing a wind up order to the company.

We received the money in the bank yesterday.

What seemed like a significant amount of money to my wife when she started the pension has turned into a relatively insignificant payout today. We are putting two thirds of the payout into Bitcoin and will be using the remainder to pay bills and for my wife to treat herself to a spa day or something similar.

This is the reality of the fiat world.

This house water softener continues to be amazing. Such a boost for skin and hair.

If this whole bitcoin thing ends up not working out, then rather than working at McDonald’s I’m going to go into the water softener sales business!
