 Is Disney+ still showing The Simpsons in 16:9, cutting off half the jokes in the process?

Not to... 
 The pirate bay doesn't do that as well 😉 
 I was wrong about the potency of isotonitazene. It's about the same as fentanyl. 
The RDX video was great BTW.  
 Anarchists, do you wanna fight the police state? Join the military, and stage a coup.  
 Smoking marijuana, eating cheetos, and masturbating? 
 She's too old for you, Gissy. 😉 
 A woman with 3 vaginas? Easy for her to create novelty in the relationship.  
 Good morning, may you cross paths with the sardine of good fortune this fine day. 
 And music competition for prime minister or speaker.  
 I fell asleep listening to the debates. At least orange man was somewhat entertaining. I don't understand how so many people still find it interesting. I'd rather sit and watch the birds.  
 Perfect president. Just signs the documents the corporations put in front of him.  
 How to sync events between nostr relays? 
 Replicate Postgres master slaves.  
 Not sure why, but there is no NIP for inter relay comms. It's gonna make the relay code a lot more complicated. Bridges already duplicate reactions and replies. 

It'd be great if Nostr relays were a p2p network with its own DNS and search.  
 Are you gonna write a reference relay? 
 Lol, just found out Samurai wallet sponsored Lord Miles.  
 Export the AAC files. Use a USB stick to copy to the Pixel 
 VLC supports mp3. Get a USB stick and copy the files.  
 Bill Gates story about "Starting Microsoft on his own in a garage is such BS, the real truth is h... 
 Musk: rich dad
Bezos: rich stepdad
Thiel: rich relatives 

Pretty sure all of them were at least millionaires before they started.  
 Assuming the story is true. I suspect the whole adoption story is faked. Still I like Jobs a lot more than Gates.  
 So Adobe is now literally Hitler. Time to switch to Affinity? Gimp and Krita are too primitive.  
 Yeah, for really simple edits. Still not anywhere near Photoshop.  
 When did it become cloud only? 
 I can't stand GIMP UI layout and flow. Krita wins among FOSS selection for me 
 Should be simple to get the windows version to run in WINE 
 Someone was asking where to buy isofentanyl, so I was curious what it was. Turns out it's isotonitazene. Unrelated to fentanyl in structure. 50x of fentanyl potency.  
 Making a bot that annoys a good chunk of Nostr users is asking to be hated. That's how people work.  
 Maybe Rabble is a trickster and wrote nigbot as well.  
 I'm feeling bittersweet about bird flu / corona 2.0 already. The majority will fall for it again. There will be a higher percentage of conspiracy bros this time maybe.  
 I always share my food with them, so they don't have to sneak on me. I'll bring PCR tests for them next time.  
 Guys the hate that Rabble is getting is entirely not fair, making mean memes and name calling isn... 
 Did you see what he was wearing? He was asking for it! 
 Making a bot that annoys a good chunk of Nostr users is asking to be hated. That's how people work.  
 Is it about bird flu? 
 Hah, the episode after this one is about birds 
 I think I butt hurt nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 because... 
 He labeled your node as not running? 
 We need to start a group. Rabbis Against Rabble.  
 I wonder if he was fired from Twitter after Musk took over.  
 unpopular take
It will take at least 10 years for China to catch up to US at AI but no matter how... 
 What is AI in this context? 
 Easy to make an autoregressive LLM for Chinese. May take a month for training 
 It feels weird thinking about the funeral for my grandma tomorrow. She always said the one thing ... 
 Any funeral services that take bitcoin? 
 Allow customers to buy it in advance with bitcoin. They pay $100. In 10 years it covers all costs, and it's a giant party.  
 Swap in Cake 
 So? You're using your card with your name on it KYC or not.  
 Why Google pays reddit for their API:

"Dear Pharo, I wrote you but you still aint calling.
I left my Jabber, PGP and my XMR address at the bottom.
I sent two transactions back in autumn, you must not of got them.
There probably was a problem with your server or something.
Sometimes I fuck up addresses when I copy em.
But anyways fuck it, what's been up man? How's your celly?
I bet you have his Semen in your belly." 
 Ok the sponsors section on bitcoin only podcast is like 15 minutes long hahahaha come on mannnnnn... 
 Same for Saifadean. 15 different services.  
 Lools like Amethyst dont cache posts anymore? Every time I run it, it syncs everything  
 I'm confused by the new relay settings. I thought it was gonna be like discord or matrix with private relays.  
 I put your relay into the search section, cause it supports nip 50 
 They got a huge grant to implement proof of work, so some sites just make you wait a minute.

 Best approach so far is private mirrors. Still need to do 4 gay captchas to log in. 

Nostr Tor relays will have to do something similar or become paid only.  
 Oh, I looked more at unikraft. They give 2 VPS for free. Any Linux app can be ported. Startup is less than a second vs 10 seconds for containers.  
 Torrent downloader bot for nostr. Or this https://github.com/shazow/ssh-chat 
 A truly decentralized company should have 100 CEOs 
 Why do people pay $500 for a Garmin watch? Poor man's Rolex? 
 Need 20,999,992 more.  
 Snowden and Unabomber were both theatre performers. Snowden was tasked with FUDing. Keeping the goyim in a constant state of paranoia, afraid of their own shadow. Meanwhile the NSA has to hire external consultants to write malware. 

Kazcynsky was tasked with discrediting the technological skepticism. Or rather chosen to promote particular technologies that the status quo invested in. So many good thoughts are discredited by association. It worked. I gotta say that the system's neatest trick is his best work. Perfectly describes pussy ass anarchists. 

I see more and more attacks on air travel. Unabomber, 9/11, covid, Boeing failures. Can't be a coincidence.  
 A dog can live 26 years if fed meat. Almost half the lifespan gone when fed grain. 

Are humans similar? 
 HERE WE GO AGAIN.... EU SECURES OVER 40 MILLION BIRD FLU VACCINES

The European Union has ordered... 
 Vaccine already exists? 
 Ngl, Nvidia has reall f’d up my boomer orange pilling. 
 Nvidia actually produces something that companies want.  
 Follower count doesn't matter on Nostr.

Not only because you can easily spin up npubs to create ... 
 With private relays, it doesn't matter at all. Nostr turns into Discord that way 
 In a parallel universe, nostr is about rare baseball cards instead of bitcoin. Nothing is different except for words.  
 Ubuntu spies with Amazon suggestions (can be disabled). Audacity spies (telemetry).  
 Kali is just Ubuntu with a bunch of wifi software pre-installed. Wifi is not that interesting.  
 Ubuntu without Unity for x86
