Planning a family trip to Costa Rica for 7 nights. Flying in and out of LIR. Two members are senior citizens (so even moderate hiking is out).
Thinking of spending 2-3 days around a volcano/hot spring/forest and the remainder by a beach town. Ideally all within a couple hour drive of LIR.
Any tips/recommendations are appreciated!
That’s gorgeous. I’ve wanted to visit for a while (a 1-2 month trip). Is it difficult if you don’t speak any Portuguese?
I tend to stick to places where my English and very broken Spanish get me by…

What are some open source options I can run locally on Linux?
Hmm I find it interesting how peoples standard for evidence change from topic to topic. God is one of the most interesting examples. Only explanation I’ve come up with is that brainwashing from a very young age, particularly by parents can last a long time.
Castro understood the power of brainwashing the kids into communism in elementary school.
Random question, do you believe in god?
These predictions are pretty dumb. Not sure if you’ve ever worked in forecasting, but this seems to be a very useless model you’ve built.
Big fan, but wanted to provide some honest feedback.
Many people are traders for a living. Many don’t run their lives through your moral lens. Just starting facts. I also hope for a Bitcoin standard, but am willing to admit I don’t know when it will happen, and it’s possible it happens after I die.
While alive, I’d like my money to buy me things (the only point of money). So taking the probabilities into account of what may happen during my limited life seems important to me.
I don’t follow you and yet all your notes show up on my timeline? I tried
Gold isn’t the final answer. But when central banks have hoards of it, they’ll certainly prefer it to btc. I’d be shocked if there isn’t a short-medium term trade to cash in on gold when/if they push in that direction.

That was well written. Wonder if #[6]​ has any response
Also a spy device on your arm.
I will write here the same I wrote under Matthew's video...
...on this one I have to disagree. I think your view on this particular matter is very black & white. Let me add something to it:
1. It is completely voluntary to use coinjoin feature in Trezor.
2. Nobody, not even the coordinator knows who you are. (As you are hidden thanks to tor and block filters)
3. I spoke directly with nostr:npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt and listened to people from Trezor ( nostr:npub16lcw8ytugeh3ug3na93yl0tdf0gnjtduljhn2a852atf6jtvkucs7pruje and others) explaining their point of view on coinjoin with WabiSabi.
- zkSNACKs/WabiSabi was chosen because - as stick put it, it is superior coinjoin to the Whirlpool in the sense that WabiSabi coinjoin is a superset of Whirlpool. Meaning WabiSabi can do everything Whirlpool can (potentially) but not the other way around. So from a future point of view, in regard to potential functionality, this was a better coinjoin solution to go with.
- Both Max and people from Trezor would much rather use coinjoin which does not follow OFAC transaction censorship. It's disgusting. Everyone agrees. But as zkSNACKs is a company that could and already was harassed by law enforcers in Gibraltar, it was decided that - at least for the time being - it will follow OFAC regulations to avoid this while providing pretty good privacy feature to the masses.
4. Another kind of "feature" is that Trezor users can for free check their UTXOs if any of them is blacklisted by OFAC. (If it is, it will be refused when trying to coinjoin it) This will tell users upfront and they will know to be potentially careful to not send such UTXO to exchanges to avoid freezing of their funds or even an account. And they will know that such UTXO should be handled differently - eg. leveraging the lightning network. (I guess that should help...)
I really do not see this one to be so bad. Trezor works just as it did before. But on top, it enables pretty damn good, one-click strong privacy feature to all its users. This feature does not leak information about you to anyone. But it does not let you to use this feature when your UTXO is on OFAC list. You will find out for free, without any issue and you can deal with such UTXO separately.
On point three, it’s similar to US companies saying we’re going to keep selling oil to the Germans during ww2 because it makes us money, we don’t really have any control of what they do with that oil in terms of killing allied soldiers, extermination of Jews, and wanting to take over the world. (Btw, they did do precisely this for the cash)
If trezor finds the decision ‘despicable’, why are they integrating with a project that literally pays the enemy (chain surveillance nazis)?
Cuz money trumps morals?
