This is the most ridiculous shit I’ve ever seen. They’re charging Maduro with “Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States”

By that logic, the Heads of State and Army of every other country should be charged by SDNY.

This is real clownshow stuff. Team Murica World Police on full display.

Warning: do NOT use travala.com any more, if you did.

They directly stole my money.

Here is my response to the customer service agent:

(Customer service agent),

> Sorry for the delay, im ahmed from compliance department, for refund or either processing the booking, the verification is a mandatory step, we require the minimum and basic info for that, and you can pass it easily through the following link :

Let's establish the facts: I have been a regular customer of Travala for years, have done probably a hundred or more bookings through your site - mentioning this *not* to claim some status as a customer (which I do not want, and do not have), but to point out that ZERO times on the website or through any of those transactions was it mentioned that you could simply keep my money and provide no service - i.e. STEAL my money - if I did not pass a verification process -handing over extensive and intrusive personal documents - that you never documented anywhere. And indeed for this booking, again, no such advance warning was given.

So you (that is to say Travala, not you personally!) act exactly as a kidnapper: to give me back the money which is mine, you insist that I hand over security sensitive information. Which I will not do. There are an endless stream of documented violent theft events of cryptocurrency holders, so spreading one's personal information is stupid, and any claim you make to "keep my data safe" is ridiculous, given the equally endless stream of reported hacking events. I do not trust your company with my personal information because I don't trust *any* company with it.

I have been doing Bitcoin development work for over a decade, I will make sure that a lot of people in the community know that Travala steals its customers money, directly, with no apology.

Feel free to pass this message to any management, I would appreciate that.

Do any Rizful users have suggestions for features to add to Rizful that would be useful, for our 2026 roadmap? Thanks!

Bitcoin solves a problem the anti-Federalists warned about.

In the first Expanse book, Leviathan Wakes, there is a scene where a detective is looking through space port logs.

There’s one ship called The Badass Motherfucker. It’s owned by the MYOFB Corporation (presumably, “Mind Your Own Fucking Business”).

They don’t elaborate. The detective passes over it and eventually finds the ship he is after. This particular ship and corp never comes up again.

I feel like we need a spinoff covering whatever the hell these guys are up to, lol.

Is there a greater gift on Nostr than that of the zap? Not a chance! Every comment receives a zap back! To the season for giving. #ZapBack #ChristmasZaps

I've been slumping on my fitness this past month.

It got cold, so I stopped my daily biking. Then I got sick, so I wasn't hitting my basement gym either. Then even when I recovered I just wasn't doing it. Best I was doing was walking outside to get some sun and fresh air.

Yesterday I got back in. Stretches, push-ups, squats, bag-punching, deadlifts, dumbbell routines, and a few treadmill sprints. I'm super sore today, and my cardio is shit at the moment, but it feels great.

If you've been slumping a bit this winter, I'm right there with you! Use today as a catalyst to get back in. You'll be glad you did.

Good morning!

I forgot to say good morning because of all the nonsense I read.

- Islamists who think they're so important, as if they contribute anything to the world other than hatred and backwardness.

- Western elites obsessed with repopulating Europe.

- Bitcoiners now embroiled in the debate of the month, quantum computing.

- People praising an unscrupulous braggart (an Islamist, by the way) like Andrew Tate, who should be the model not to follow for any man.

- Epstein's list that never comes out, the Bitcoin reserve that never comes out, BOLT12 that is not implemented in LND, Star Citizen unfinished, GNU HURD without Wayland, and I still don't have a fusion reactor, let alone a quantum computer.

Another week and no positive progress in the world.

They screwed up for all of us. Is Wasabi a money transmitter? Well, Scamourai pleaded guilty to being one without a license. Thanks, not.

you can actually just ignore the current thing

Any idea what else they accused him of?
