We are debauched 😂 🫂
Really?
Yes, it's the best 👍
I buy Tiptree ketchup in a glass bottle these days.
There was a scientific experiment a few years ago to identify the best way to extract the ketchup from the bottle.
For glass bottles the technique is to tap the neck of the bottle with your wrist after you have inverted it before opening the lid.
Oh I didn't say it wasn't important, I just understand the argument and have made my own mind up, more or less along these lines:
I like Heinz Ketchup, but I refuse to use it unless it comes in a glass bottle with a screw cap.

My driver be allowed to drive me to school in the spare Bentley instead of that shitty Rolls Royce my parents gave me 😂

No, I don't bother following anymore, I got dragged back in cos of this:
They also didn't schmooze the guy from TripAdviser when he came to review them and hired a cigarette company to do their PR and media
It's the attention economy, everybody is trying to shout louder than their neighbour to be heard 🥹
X is getting brutal, especially over Knots vs Core 😂
Yeh, my house was built in 1751, it has a lot of history, there was even a book written about it and a political scandal took place in it.
I've tried cycling many times, it isn't for me 😢
That's about £550K, doesn't seem too bad compared to the UK tbh.
I know a lot of things in the U.S. are expensive compared to the UK, but housing has always seemed pretty cheap.
Ironically, £556K is the average house price where I live in Oxford:
I think there's a business opportunity to be the European importer for NOSTR products:
and others 🤔
The way you write this, I get the impression I'm not supposed to like those houses 🤔
I quite like those houses 👍
Do you know the most stupid crime I ever heard somebody commit?
Somebody stole a canal boat 😱
Police struggled to walk the 4 MPH needed to apprehend the criminal 😂
Today my VPN is coming to you from the delightful country of Estonia of which I am an e-resident, so legally allowed to VPN there 😂
I have the game on my Xbox, I nearly made the leaderboard once 😂
I'm learning about the place by riding around it at a leisurely pace.
I also have a friend that rides his motorbike from Oxford to it every year.
Don't be so sure 😂

Not on the Isle of Man, I have been researching 😂
Until you realise that all the good stuff is sold off book to buying agents working for their wealthy clients 😂
I have yet to go down the seed oil rabbit hole 🤔
Also, your geeky friends were always technically right, but got everything they did spectacularly wrong, including getting girlfriends 😂
Yes, we need more than Knots which is a soft fork of core with as few hundred setting changed.
I always think of Linux with its almost infinite array of distro's, all of which are essentially the same, but each one different in its own unique way.
Porn and cat JPEGs are the cornerstone of the Internet’s success 😂
Yes, that is one of their achilles heel
It was a historical post, but technically no. Blockstream runs data centre hosted federated nodes, so you could consider that big blocks would benefit them.
The historic tweet pre-dates the blocksize wars. Everybody was in favour of bigger blocks, it was the hard forking that was the enemy. The blocksize wars are correctly referred to as the fork wars by those in the know.
Do flies like cheese? 🤔

Imagine if Core and Knots worked together to reduce spam as much as possible, then mitigate the remainder.
I'm not sure I can explain it any more it's gone so far.
But news in brief:
Core is physically attacking Knots nodes with malicious code, asking to start a new node sync multiple times crashing targeted nodes.
Knots is approaching 18% adoption despite this.
Mechanic is suggesting that Core V30 is going to cause the intentional death of Bitcoin and Core is still saying if you can't stop JPEGs you might as well mitigate them.
Adam Back is playing devils advocate saying the network (consensus) always win and Mechanic has found an old tweet of Adams from pre blocksize wars days advocating large blocks.
It's really heating up, Luke and Mechanic are now both attacking the voice of reason that is Adam Back 🥺
The phrase "storm in a teacup" comes to mind.
Or this little pied de terre in London 😂

It would suit my name and age 😂
I tried reading it, I got about half way.
For me, he is so full of vitriol that it is difficult to read.
We Bitcoiners don't fully admit the valid argument on the big blockers side and big blockers don't admit the arguments on our side.
Sadly, the winner gets to write history and so we don't acknowledge the valid reasons why you might want big blocks.
The TL;DR for me is everyone wants big blocks, but if you adopt them to scale for Bitcoin adoption, eventually it only becomes possible for large centralised companies to run a node. At that point you are trusting a corporation, which is what we do with fiat right now and it becomes extremely possible for a government to shutdown or censor a company. It's why Napster failed, but BitTorrent won.
You should definitely try to read it, but also the Blocksize War by Jonathan Bier which gives a very balanced overview of that time.
You should start a nail painting business 😂
The Bitcoin lost in landfill is still ongoing!
Not interesting and misleading. You are flawed & if you did research instead of reading posts you would know why you’re flawed. & why this is really not true. Run them searches boy & when you do learn.
Come and join us & post it up with other nostriches on 0xChat the only true anonymous app you should be using 😂
The trials and tribulations of IRC has many echos to NOSTR today:
Have you tried thinking as an alternative hobby while driving? 😂
It’s very precious. I only wear it on special occasions.

Oh yes, I should probably mention my wife won first prize for her flowers 😂
I won 3rd prize in the village flower show for my apples 😂
