No I get it. I try my best but it's fucking hard out there lol

That's how I ended up with a metal kettle and glass pour over (with metal basket) for coffee. The coffee makers all had weird plastic smell/taste (and I'm skeptical of hot water through plastic anyway. I found one from Bunn I think but it was industrial and ridiculous for my kitchen. 😂

The new Samourai Wallet indictment truly is a phenomenally disingenuous piece of garbage 👇

https://www.therage.co/samourai-wallet-new-indictment/

Likely filed to reflect that the Government is no longer pursuing federal licensing violations – the new indictment removes all references to “unlicensed,” except one – SDNY seems to have taken the opportunity to make their indictment even more confusing to the judge.

Entire paragraphs are moved around, language is changed, and most importantly, the new indictment seems to make zero distinction between Samourai Wallet the entity and Samourai Wallet the software.

Take these two paragraphs for example, the first from the original indictment, and the second from the new one:

"The cryptocurrency is 'cut down'", and leftover funds "are placed in a separate address and provided back to the Samourai user."

"Samourai 'cut down' the cryptocurrency into correct sizes for a chosen pool," and "Samourai returned back to the user any leftover funds from this transaction that were too small to enter the Whirlpool by replacing them in a separate address.”

So instead of correcting their technical inaccuracies, SDNY chose to double down on them.

Imo, this means that prosecutors either somehow managed to get even more stupid over the past 1.5 years, or that SDNY is intentionally attempting to mislead the judge on how the Samourai Wallet software worked, making it look like the developers had more control over funds than they did in reality.

They call this “justice,” my guys.

Isn't Trump one of the few people who assisted in that investigation? I'm no Trump fan, but this shit seems baseless.

Yeah we saved on that too. I can't stand wearing jewelry and my wife didnt want the stress of worrying about losing or damaging it. But, if she wants a ring now, I'd happily buy her one. She's always been the frugal one though 😂

I like how Amethyst puts my follows at the top. Or at least it seems to. I've never noticed a problem until this. I like the idea of an explicit icon though.

I've wished for that for years. Lol Gave up on it. I was happy to see more teams work with the base browser though. Such as Mullvad. I'd be extra happy if Tor just took over the entire thing and made current Tor a profile or something. I don't know exactly what I'm talking about. Browsers are complicated and beyond my scope. I'm sure running their development is hard too. LadyBird seems like a cool promise. Maybe we will end up with an open, neutral base at some point

I guess it doesn't matter either way. Does Graphene accept financial contributions? I couldn't find anything on the site

The harassment is probably state funded too. How can we help?

I want in on that psychic juice so I don't feel so retarded 😂

We chose to rent and invest, but yeah, a down payment is a lot fucking smarter than debt for a wedding. A lot of people are out there getting low down, high interest loans on top of wedding debt. Cars, boats, RVs. I see some WILD shit in real life.

My wife and I were broke when we got married.

We saw our friends starting their marriages in wedding debt and decided to officiate our own marriage in her sister's basement. We bought like $100 in beer and everyone brought a dish. A witness signed the license after us. A picture session for the boomers and everyone was happy and debt free.

It's absolutely retarded to put a wedding on credit. I'm not backing down on that. If your potential spouse demands it, run. You'll probably end up divorced anyway.

Never bring a wrench to a gun fight.

I'm starting to think multipurpose things (with few exceptions) are shit coins.

I gave up on can openers a few years ago because they're garbage these days. Most manufacturers can't even do one thing right these days.

I'm returning to specialized equipment that is built simply to do one thing very well.

Using the can opener example, I've been using this little guy (it opens bottles too, sue me).

Increasing the number of components to do more things increases complexity, which seems to usually lead to higher failure rates. Many manufacturers don't bother making things repairable, probably because it's impractical at a certain point.

There's no need for spare parts for this can opener. It's composed of two metal parts held together by two metal pins.

This Cuisinart electric kettle has worked for years (you could use the stove and a thermometer for less complexity). It doesn't make my coffee. It doesn't grind beans or froth milk. It just boils water to a specific temperature. My simple pour over coffee pot handles it's one job.

(Should I clean it? 😬)

These AquaTru machines just filter my water. They don't measure cool the water. They don't tell me the weather forecast or require a stupid app with a data connection to work. They just filter my water. They have a "connect" version now. I don't want it. These have been chugging along (with proper maintenance) for about 5 years.

Keep things simple. One job. Maybe two. I do this as much as possible (simple vehicles, no smart TVs, etc) and I rarely have to replace things.

I guess I should have prefaced:

Buy whatever you want that works best for you.

If you want a spork, go for it. I prefer a separate fork and spoon. They work better separately.

If you want want a vehicle that's packed full of expensive technology and components, buy one!

Those things aren't wrong for you. They are for ME.

I'm happier with simpler products that are minimal, durable, and simple. *I* value that more than more functions.

If you value more functions, then that's probably what's best and we just disagree. Cool.

I don't like to throw shit out just because it's too complicated or expensive to fix. And that is the case with many products today. That's just my value. To each their own.

And I simply disagree. I used to do the "many things" appliances and they never did anything well or lasted very long. Plus, I hardly ever used most of the things they did. My kitchen has very little in it now and I'm not missing anything. I never said everyone has the same needs I do.

My kettle is almost entirely metal. The parts that aren't are pretty solid. I've had it for years and will probably use a stove top one when it breaks. Avoiding plastics entirely is almost impossible. I'll spend energy doing it where I can, but I'm not losing sleep when I can't.

As for the water machines, I would buy an all metal one if you made it. Until then, I have to go with the best thing for my needs that is available. I'll take plastic over what my water would otherwise be. Same with my shower filters.

Hopefully the barbed wire stops them first, but I figure the tape will once they get a good taste lol

I found capsaicin tape. Gonna try that and some other harmful stuff this time

If I parked in a garage, perhaps.

Sure, but there's even less when you route it to the wrong phone number. That was my only point. I'm not defending SMS. I can't change that it's used.

I wish AI would take developer jobs already if it can do better than shit like this.

Password and email fields should have been solved by now ffs.

By the way, I appreciate you reaching out. It's helpful to bounce ideas for this shit. Especially on newer cars.

What are your thoughts on allocating sats to the Lightning network to earn fees?

I think there is some time delayed communication between the switch and the computer too, which is probably the communication error. It sees me driving but never hitting the breaks I'm guessing 😂

Yeah that's what I was thinking. It actually kind of makes sense if they did that on purpose. That combo of problems is probably easier to diagnose than any one code. That's a guess anyway. Could just be accidental on their part.

But from my research, the Frontier can lose brake lights, throw ABS codes, disable cruise control, and show a traction light with a faulty stoplamp switch. All of which I have going on. Seems reasonable to start there.

I doubt both went out at the same time. And both stop brake lights at that.

The cruise control turns on, it just won't let you set a speed.

I would never recommend a 38 special revolver to a woman. There are much better options for anyone, especially most women.

To each their own, I just don't see how it's necessarily propping the system up any more than debitting fiat from a bank account. Youre in the fiat system less by doing it the way I mentioned. And youre getting a higher percentage back to buy more Bitcoin with lol At least I do with my particular card. So in a way, am I not draining the system faster?
