The one thing I regret about adopting a teenager instead of having my own child is the experience of only giving them retro computers at least until middle, if not high school.

No child should be deprived the joy of Congo Bongo or learning that code, not Robux, is what makes computers do things.

Good to know. I've been a bit out of the loop as Bitcoin podcasts took over the time I used to spend listening to Backpacker Radio.

All right, it did occur to me I should be including reused addresses which use a hash rather than exposed pubkey. Don't have those numbers in front of me but it does seem likely we'd at least get in your range.

This album's always one I like to give a listen to the segment on solstices/equinoxes.

GM folks, and happy winter solstice. For those far south enough to do so, make sure to catch a glimpse of the sun today; we won't have it for long!

GM Gigi, beautiful shot.

Not that I'm opposed to some new softfork to make a new address type. It'll probably have to be done eventually, and may as well be worked on sooner rather than later (though, frankly, CTV and CSFS seem a far bigger priority). It'd also not do any harm to have as long as it's done without opening the door for more inscription nonsense. Might be nice to see something used even less than taproot for a change :-D.

Between P2PK and P2TR addresses combined, there's about 4.15 million BTC. Not sure where you get the 30-50% number from.

I think you're often wrong and a pretty all right dude.

They're neighbors that live across the corpus collosum from each other.

Especially merino.

Wool actually isn't as hot as you'd think in summer. It wicks moisture, and is breathable. Most clothesclothes intended for summer are thinner/lighter weight.

Twitter and MSM.

The trick to a happy childhood is low time preference. 55 seems like a great time to be a happy child, provided you keep your health and jump on the Bitcoin lifeboat.

Seeing the problems in the system only sucks if you don't get to fix them.

It can be overwhelming sometimes though.

Opti and Nico be like '6,7?'

That's what a cheerful Bostonian looks like in the morning. He even got all dressed up and took off the customary sweatpants!

Calling Cubans incompetent is rich.

You don't keep 60 year old cars on the road with no access to imported parts through incompetence.

The fact that anyone survives at all despite the communists and the American embargo speaks to immense competence.

Have you SEEN how many uses they can find for something as basic as a condom?

I only remember there are ads on YouTube when I'm on my phone and accidentally open something in the official client.

Netflix.

What, you never heard of 🏴‍☠️?

Just carry around a bag of acorns or peanuts and toss them. Distances start long at first but if you're patient they'll eat from your hand. City squirrels are MUCH easier. Doesn't hurt if you can make the sound they make, they get curious.

'nO hYoOmYn Is IlLeEgUlL!'

Yea crows are known to have LOONG memories.

I want ravens, ever since reading Kill Decision...

What about just sauteeing them? Is there something key lost by that cooking method?

Only time it ever have mushrooms boiled is in soup, rarely. I prefer sauteeing them down, maybe with some garlic and onions, and slathering it all on steak (add bleu cheese for heaven).

But who would have the heart to eat it??

They're using a side universe? Like BitVM? 😄

They had good memories too. Showed up a year later and a bunch still recognized me.

I used to have a flock of squirrels I fed on my lunch breaks with acorns. Even had one that'd climb on my pant leg for 'em.

It confused the crap out of people when I'd be out without my acorns and 15 squirrels would follow me around the park...

I was big on reminding my professors that schola was the Greek word for leisure...

I'd love us to just get a soft fork for a new address type that people who want to can use.

I don't assume many would as it will cost more.

But it'd solve the problem and let us focus on something more important like CTV and CSFS.

Was it at least a creamy soup?

I imagine it'd be pretty nasty in like, miso soup...

No joke I was told I'd missed it when I bought in at that price.

I'm still waiting for $130, $140 was too expensive.

In an alternate timeline.

My issue is most merchants using Square who sell things I like sell things I learned to make for myself because I'm ...thrifty.

They could at least suggest you do something self custodial with Zeus or Alby. Custodial lightning is not something that needs more encouraging.

Price suppression is about keeping it low enough to buy more.

It's done with derivatives, using leverage, and is a reverse pump and dump. No price can be suppressed in perpetuity, and they're not stupid enough to try.

Nothing but bitcoin can buy Treasury solvency.

It's true they don't want it to be money, but they sure want it as collateral.

It bugs me that this weak argument is what is leaned on so much rather than the clear disregard for stewardship from the core team.

But then as far as I'm concerned it's not Core vs Knots, it's Core vs everyone and Knots just happened to be there as the main alternative.
