We should try and get them to take that out, get as many signatures on it as possible and give it to Ross and his mum
Sparrow? Didn't they used to be HMI or something? I heard their most recent updates were significant and it sounds pretty sound
Oh man I wish! For real I'd love to have what it takes to run core or even use it more often
Bring the noise about our tax theft in the U.S...THANK YOU ELON! this is exactly what we voted for!
I know lightning well, I host a node on alby
Tbh, I don't think I did lol unusual for me but why what happened?
As long as we have good actors running core nodes, which is sadly only around 20,000 around the world, we also have that decentralized aspect.
Wow thanks, got awarded a whole free week of AMC+ in regards to the lawsuit against them 😑
Yes and if the U.S govt was smart they would leverage saylors operation to insure a profitable stance on the global Bitcoin reserve front.
Are you guys doing a full overhaul of the power train? Any body work or interior that needed done? I know this was a JOB BOI! 😓😮💨 OOF
Brad Garlinghouse is officially a
SPOOK
Bitcoin wasn't created for governments. Bitcoin was created for the people.
Bitcoin is not compatible with the way government thinks. They want a high degree of acknowledgement and outcomes with their portrayed contributions. Example, United States will not buy such and such amount unless China, Russia, Canada, Mexico etc also buys such and such amount. That won't work unless those countries all agree to a schedule of holding and withdrawing because they will worry about the other countries profit taking from the other and stunting their growth.
This is why I think it is more likely for governments to establish shitcoin reserves so they have more control and more entities they partner with and control on board.
Let the governments have their shitcoinery, we the people will have our Bitcoin.
Microplastics in Human Brains
A recent study published on February 4, 2025, found that the average human brain contains a significant amount of microplastics and nanoplastics, with concentrations increasing by about 50% over the past eight years. The research discovered that brain samples from 2024 contained higher levels of microplastics than those from 2016, with the average brain sample containing around 7 grams of microplastics, equivalent to the weight of a standard plastic spoon. This alarming finding raises concerns about the potential impact of microplastics on human health, particularly in relation to degenerative diseases such as dementia.
Microplastics in brain tissue: The study found that microplastics were present in all brain samples, with higher concentrations in the brains of individuals with dementia, suggesting a possible link between microplastic exposure and neurological diseases.
Nanoplastic particles: The research also detected nanoplastic particles, which are thousands of times smaller than a grain of sand, in the brain samples, highlighting the need for further investigation into the effects of these tiny particles on human health.
Routes of exposure: Experts believe that microplastics enter the brain through the bloodstream, possibly by hitching a ride with fats from food, and may also be inhaled through the nose, allowing them to travel directly to the brain.
Reducing exposure: To minimize exposure to microplastics, individuals can take steps such as avoiding heating food in plastic containers, choosing glass or metal storage containers, drinking from reusable bottles, and minimizing processed foods.
