Ahh that is a good use case. Been strugging to find much of a case where I'm close enough for bluetooth but still want to message people. Could be cool at conventions too.
Worth noting is that Yahya Sinwar agreed with you, and often lamented that the only options they had, in their desperation, involved some non-military casualties (particularly in reference to the rockets not being able to be aimed).
Guess it all depends on what you think people should do when faced with impending doom: accept it, or fight back with every shred of spirit they have left, however imperfectly.
I'm personally not much one for pacifism. Not generally one for the Marxist worldview either (of oppressed and oppressor), but in a case as extreme as Palestine, it does seem pretty clear that if you want the violence and injustice to end, the side of the colonizer has a lot more responsibility in doing so.
Looking at London and DC there, without which the sad attempt at a military that is the Occupation Forces wouldn't any choice but to sue for peace.
I'd suggest maybe looking into the number of "prisoners" "Israel" has been taking for years (decades) prior to October 7. Nothing started with the Al Aqsa flood, it was just an attack that happened to land particularly well when carried out by the resistance.
Also might be worth looking into the ratio of casualties and which ones were actually the "innocent civilians" the media has portrayed. October 7 had lower collateral damage than most any Western military operation in history.
Awesome. I'll have to throw an order in then to give it a go. I got pretty attached to the wool fat but in lieu of that company figure it's worth giving a go.
Anyone try using soap from nostr:nprofile1qqsppdnxpjc82jlm3yn9gawhv7p4nm69a3f80rg5ycw305xned2s0hc28uk0q to shave with? Looks like my usual go tosheep wool fat shave soap doesn't exist after scamdemic wiped out small businesses everywhere (the stuff lasted for around 3 years per bar) so I'm in the market for something new to shave my face with. Been hearing a lot of good things about soapminer, and just curious if it's up to this particular task, as I'm otherwise working through some similarly simple Palestinian soap for other general use. Appreciate any anecdotal reviews.
GM. Remember, when you see everything around you crumbling, it's making way for the things we'll be building, today and tomorrow. And reminding you that most of the things we're taught to think we need, we don't.
We thought we were going to get agent smith, but instead we got a computer version of a college sophomore sociology major with a legendary collection of books by Marx and his acolyted.
Any time. Glad my listening to 40 hours a week of Bitcoin podcasts can help someone other than me. š
Saylor's comments about Bitcoin not being currency followed a few minutes later by talk of billions of payments a day going over L2's and L3's seemed schizophrenic at best. Perhaps I should give the benefit of the doubt and assume he's been advised not to publicly admit that he's involved in a speculative attack on the dollar, but it was weird.
Also wild to see him seem totally unfamiliar with the concept of Bitcoin's programmability as a means of tackling bequeathment of one's legacy. Guess it's a reminder that he's really less a Bitcoiner and more a financial markets wizard that knows a few things about Bitcoin.
That he's not used a Coldcard ever was honestly a bit of a jaw dropper. While it's no surprise that MSTR doesn't self custody, I thought that had more to do with the difficulties of handling complex signing schemes as an institution than that he legit doesn't seem to know the first thing about actually using Bitcoin, just for small personal amounts separate from the treasury. nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 you're doing God's work with a 1:1 Coldcard mentor session with him. Might be worth throwing in some time with Liana so he can see the programmability aspect of things.
Dude really needs help getting the orange pill dislodged from his esophagus all the way into his stomach for digestion. Wonder how he intends to let his Bitcoin die with him without ever making it his coins in the first place rather than a bunch of IOU's...

Curious how BTC/GOLD measures up to it though.
My big issue with the power law, for price anyway, is that it treats dollars like a measuring stick that isn't made out of flubber.
There are other places where it seems sound. But fiat price seem only coincidental, as the Fed/treasury could break that with a snap of their fingers.

Now, calculus, on the other hand, is just what they stupidly teach kids who should be learning stats.

The idea of CPU mining is nice, though, truth be told, if something like RandomX were used ona global currency in high demand, it'd encourage a degree of wasted hardware (and subsequent shortages) that'd be untenable. That it isn't doing so is simply due to Monero being in lower demand.
Not gonna tell people what code to run, but if it were me, I'd be mining with my CPU to swap into Bitcoin.
Today's Bitcoin Audible had a lot of good comparison data between XMR and Lightning with regard to privacy.
The more time goes on, particularly amid the era ofthe opiod epidemic,the more I think Dr. Leary's linguistic battle of using different language for 'drugs' and psychedelic 'chemicals' is worth reviving. Though, maybe chemicals isn't the best word choice for plant based agents. And nobody ever really took 'entheogen' seriously. Perhaps psychedelic on its own is good enough.
It's not unlike the affinity scam of crypto. Like Bitcoin? Try our shitcoins! Like LSD? Here's some heroin!
Both swing both ways too. Hate fartcoin? Bitcoin's a scam too! Hate fentanyl? Be sure to stay away from mushrooms too!
Probably too much thought in the face of an amusing meme, but nobody accused me of having a filter.
Anyway, just some thoughts as I sip my homemade mud water. Different mushrooms these days, but they're still working for me.
Very interesting given that even Jewish law prohibited usury, though, admittedly, does allow it when dealing with non-Jews.
Though, there are equity based banking models as well. Yield isn't synonymous with usurious interest based lending.
I mean, I guess it's a shortcut to swap through if you can't be bothered to figure out lightning's privacy benefits.
Wouldn't want to hold anything in it for long though.
Ā£6.71? It was Ā£1B last week. How could I lose my Fartcoin fortune?
It should be seen as a US recognition of defeat. Which is perhaps a step forward, as that took 20 years in Afghanistan, and even longer in Vietnam.

Looking forward to hearing more about this. The sheer size of it is well beyond my means but from sheer theoretical stance you've got this down better than most I've heard (and an interview you did on some show or other about mycelium is why I started following your work in the first place). Curious if you've heard of Jean-Martin Fortier, the author of The Market Gardner. I ask mostly because he's one of the folks I've looked at for smaller scale farming, who's really big on organic no-till farming using a walk behind, rather than conventional tractor. Dude was pulling in over a million in revenue on something like 4 acres well before the pandemic. He's got a channel over on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@TheMarketGardeners.
Not quite the same sort of thing you're looking at, especially given some of his use of things like tube houses, but still a focus on sustainability and use of things like hedgerows to cultivate birds and other creatures to handle pest control that brought him to mind when you got into the Cathedral on this show.

As for his stance on homosexuality wherein homosexuals are less likely to have a low time preference because they don't usually have children, this is one of those things that may statistically happen to coincide, but not follow from as a matter of course. There are many ways different people continue their legacy into the future, and while having children is perhaps the most common, it is by no means the only one, or arguably even the most heavily invested. Likewise, many who have children fail to adequately focus their preferences on the future outcome. Ho Chi Minh famously eschewed marriage and children because of his focus on the establishment of a sovereign state for his people, and while I've no regard for the Communist ideology it was based around, I'd hardly suggest he'd have had a lower time preference had he chosen to father children rather than father a country.
There is a stereotype among some that gay people are hedonists -- that they focus solely on desires of the flesh, and that this is a moral weakness. I can see where some of the assumptions come from, and I'd probably say that statistically speaking, it may even pan out. But it is worth remembering that not all who are in a same-sex relationship go without raising children, nor do those who go without raising children necessarily instead follow every passing fancy. We should value traditional marriage, as it is a tried and true path to looking out for oneself and family in old age, advancing the family as a unit, and advancing the species as a whole, but the idea that we therefore need to be intolerant of those who find that they are strongest with someone that doesn't fit the mold of a traditional spouse, or whose "children" may not be of their own genetics or even human seems entirely one born of fear. Fear that stepping out of line will lead the species to ruin. Or fear that seeing someone who makes choices differently from us will corrupt our children.
I don't know about you, but when I see all that fear, I see someone who's a very short distance from a whole lot of other regulations as well. Let's ban drugs. Let's ensure speech is restricted, lest the children engage in wrongthink.
Instill your children with your values, but perhaps almost more importantly, instill them with strength to be able to stand amid free people who make decisions differently from them.
I'm all for people being allowed to discriminate on race -- I just think it unwise to do so. With so many other, more relevant factors in making up any decision, it seems rare that looking to race as a basis in a decision is anything more than a distraction.
There's of course something to be said for shared cultural values. And yes, it takes time for people of different races to come to terms with each other, and forge enough of a shared culture to cooperate in a strong and efficient manner. But those who value strength know that the cost of strength is doing that which is hard, over and over and over again. It's wrong to forcibly put someone beneath a heavy burden they can't lift, but likewise, it's wise to, seeing that you can't yet lift it, take strides so that you can, lest at any point, it behoove you to be able to do so.
Anyway, all of this in reference to Hoppe. He's got a lot of value there, but this is a point which I feel deserves some refutation, or at least, conversation. Fascists, like communists, see weakness as something to shelter, rather than something to root out and destroy. They just differ on which weaknesses they cling to the most.
