Politics divides. Trade brings people together. Destroy political power & set trade free.

What would it look like if there was a compressible electro-magnetic ether that exerted force on things which displace it, like planets & people & atmosphere.

And how do radio waves travel through space if there isn't some sort of ether?

Lol, bro stop looking at short charts & imagining nonsense

Zoom out.

Post halving chop could easily continue all summer. It may break up, but that would arguably be the unusual move at this point.

It's what nodes do when they check the history for a complete path back to issuance for any Bitcoin you receive & for the Bitcoin in any transactions you broadcast or relay.

That is very interesting πŸ€” thank you!

Anyone sim swapping their #GrapheneOS Pixel on a regular basis? I have to travel out of the country & am curious if there is anything I need to know about the process?

Any nostr Canadians know much about the immigration process or know anyone good at navigating such matters up there in Canookistan?

Well, getting poop on everything would be a problem because poop is loaded with potentially harmful stuff. Hygiene is important because I think there are certain levels of viral or bacterial load that can become more dangerous. But if you sterilize a container & put sterilized or freshly cooked materials in it it keeps very well. If you put biodegradable things in a container that hasn't been sterilized then things will grow pretty quickly. And we did bacterial tests of different surfaces in highschool. All of which seems to suggest that there are low levels of potentially harmful things everywhere. Which makes sense, there is also visible dust & pollen & bugs everywhere (you generally have to wipe off a seat that's outside every day, sometimes more than once in the same day), why would it be any different on a microscopic level? They just don't matter most of the time because our gut (and the rest of our system) is good at either putting them to work in the digestion process and/or keep them out of the body.

Having some awareness of Keet & Pear stack development, the state of open source Ai tools, as well as Nostr & Bitcoin all provide many reasons for hope. I'm not on Twitter anymore, but the 3d printed gun stuff there was always very interesting & entertaining. Keeping up with general open source 3d printer developments on youtube is pretty great too.

Guns Germs & Steal is a decent read. Reading about & studying health stuff. Spending a lot of time browsing health groups & forums around dietary advice & other things. Paying attention to gardening & permaculture stuff. The same patterns are everywhere. The names for "diseases" people get are mostly just bullshit that someone made up. There are a handful of things that happen when people get sick. There are a handful of things that happen when plants get sick. The root causes have more to do with some sort of damage or deficiency that makes the infection possible.

For example, it seems pretty clear that Polio was the result of lead arsenic pesticide poisoning which permeated the gut lining & damaged lots of body tissue near the intestines, the most important tissue being the spinal cord. Damage to the spinal cord in the gut region makes them unable to walk. When something passes through gut tissue (creates leaky gut conditions) it can shuttle in all sorts of pathogens that are almost always present & would otherwise be harmless. So the problem isn't the pathogen it's the substance that granted the pathogen access to parts of you where they can do harm. But blaming the pathogen allows pesticide companies to escape liability & pharama corps to sell a new treatment.

Oh jfc, they have named something "American Miss" instead of "Miss America"...

Fuck all of these people.

The symptoms we get when sick are rarely characteristic of any one sort of infection. Our bodily systems respond in a similar & rather general fashion to all sorts of things.

And we do adapt & coevolve with diseases. That's why it's dangerous to make contact with remote tribes. People of european descent all have ancestors who lived in close quarters with their livestock for many centuries. We now carry around all sorts of things that would have been dangerous to people at some time in the past.

The people who are celebrating her for being fat have reduced her to nothing. This whole thing is to make themselves feel special for being the judges who "see through to the person" in an effort to virtue signal harder than the state that just awarded the guy who thinks he is a girl. And you are playing the same stupid game. You don't know anything about this person, except that she obviously doesn't take care of herself at all, & you are trying to pretend that there is something beautiful about it.

It's like people who prefer Obama to Trump because Trump said mean things while they ignore that Obama bombed more countries than any president in history. Which is worse, offending people or killing people?

What you don't seem to get is that the people celebrating this fat girl are killers. In the Milgram test they are the ones who push the botton every time. Social status & acceptance matter more to them than any person & they are demonstrating it as plainly as they possibly could.

This stupid "beauty contest" & its results are actually a pretty great illustration of the philisophical corruption that is wrecking the western world & I do think the altruistic bullshit preached by people who consider themselves "good Christians" has played a significant role in moving the US & others toward collapse.

Evolution is definitely not random mutation, it's a sophisticated epigenetic dance of adaptation & sexual selection.

The world around us is the body of God. To study it & learn how it works is to get closer to God.

We are made *IN* his image. It's delusion & ignorance that separate us from reality.

And what if Baptism actually means to immerse yourself in the studying of Jesus & philosophy & all of creation? What if the rituals & symbols we have created for things now have very little to do with the things themselves...?

Every individual still has to choose to follow, & I personally think making sense of the trail Jesus left us is not as straight forward as most would like to believe. People have a way of twisting stories to fit bad ideas.

Robinhood is a good example. There is a dramatic difference between the man himself & most of the surviving stories.
