Is there a way to flash/upgrade a #nerdminer on linux over CLI? None of my machines are recognizing it in order to use the bitmaker site.

I am tempted to think it's more risky to keep paying into a policy I'll likely never need (and which pays out in fiat) than to simply buy bitcoin. The premium amount will go to zero but if I put it into bitcoin it (most likely) will only increase with time.

>A little learning is a dangerous thing:
>Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring,
>There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
>And drinking largely sobers us again.
Alexander Pope, quoted in Esolen, [Out of the Ashes](https://amzn.to/3tw0jum)
>Every single pagan philosopher of the ancient world said that if you wanted to be free, you had to learn the hard ways of virtue and that the worst form of slavery was slavery to your own appetites. That is what the founders of the United States also believed. That is what Christian preachers used to preach. That is what we have repudiated or forgotten, so that now we look to a massive central government for everything.

Sonnet XIX
When I consider how my light is spent,
Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one Talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my Soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest he returning chide;
“Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?”
I fondly ask. But patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need
Either man’s work or his own gifts; who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed
And post o’er Land and Ocean without rest:
They also serve who only stand and wait.
John Milton

No you start counting from the first fall you don't count the original standing position as one of the stand ups
That makes no sense
I object
I protest

This is why our Trivial Pursuit games took forever growing up, my whole family is like me
😂
(I wil see myself out, with apologies to the hostess)
Exactly. 😂
I'm standing.
I fall, I get up. That's once.
I fall, I get up. That's twice.
Repeat five more times, I'm standing.
Unless I fall an eigth time, I can't get up an eighth time.
I get the intent. The math just bothered me. I'm so fun at parties, really. Never mind me.
I'm being playful, no offense intended
But if I fall down 7 times then I stand up 7 times, how can I stand up an eighth time if I'm already standing
Ignore me I'm type A
The Japanese need to check that math
I'm thinking more practical things like getting in shape, learning a new skill, building a thing. Sitting and wanting change doesn't provoke change. Do something. Take action, no matter how small a step. Move.
