I guess just 10 BTC are worth that much now. Wow.


Try living for 2 years without any modern medicines. Maybe you can do that under age 30, maybe not. Many people would be dead or miserable without antibiotics, pain killers, etc.

The ability to defer gratification is highly correlated with success generally.


"There are two potential violators of man’s rights: the criminals and the government. The great achievement of the United States was to draw a distinction between these two — by forbidding to the second the legalized version of the activities of the first."
–Ayn Rand, The virtue of selfishness, 1964

I think the counter-argument would be that your vote does not actually have any real impact anyway. It is merely an illusion that it will and one that keeps the current political parties in power.

Not that I agree with that but a I think what is posted here is not a particularly good argument for voting.

You do realize that the current political parties actually vote themselves tax money to fund their campaigns?


You do realize that the device you are likely posting from requires billion dollar chip foundries to manufacture?

I don’t think this sort of direct but not very clever insult will help Trump.

I don’t know actually. Looks like it.

This does not make a lot of sense. I think I would verify that it really is the same xpub by looking at the starting and ending characters, not just scanning.

I suppose they could be using different derivation paths. That will change the addresses.

Well said. nostr:note14920zmg3d7g66mup5av22macmpwmnkvujvtp27a7sdm7f4utsflqmwjkxw


I guess that is a way to turn some quick cash that doesn’t require a SSN.


More extorted money being sent to others - grrr

Rob, what happened here?


Just had a look at the latest Presidential race polling. It seems the two candidates are within the margin of error in most of the battleground states.

What this means of course is that whomever is declared the loser will start claiming the “election was stolen” again.

But what is really happening is that since neither candidate is any real good, it is being decided by random occurrences.

I have to wonder how many innocent victims of the strike?


Of course population sizes with such organizational principles were perhaps 1000X smaller.

Every day you stay off cigarettes you are substantially reducing your chances of sudden cardiac death. In fact, the first day you quit you reduce it by something like 50%. Congratulations. Stay with the program. The first 7 days completely off are the worst and it becomes a matter of changing habit after that.

A lot of people have noticed this October/November run-up. So it is odd that it continues.

I imagine very challenging. I don’t think we have that in the US but clearly it requires specialized training.

What do you mean by “mountain rating”?


What do you mean by a “tab”? I am still trying to figure out how one created the equivalent of a MeWe group in Nostr - so any pointers appreciated.


Good commentary on the problems with using outdated science in the courtroom.

Yeah right.


Interesting - how does one do that?


Yes, LEOs typically enjoy breaking down doors and beating people up, if they have a legal excuse.


The first thing to do is find a flight school near you and ask for a “discovery flight”.

For completely new people I always suggest learning to fly gliders first. It really teaches you how a set of wings and controls acts in the air. It is also cheaper than learning to fly powered aircraft, though you can later do an “add-on” for powered flight.

See this video for how cool soaring is - https://youtu.be/r7MVnaetYcI

The SSA has a directory of places - http://ssa.org .


Thanks, it is. I always say I never get up and think my job is boring and I don’t want to do it. I sometimes get up and think my job is really hard and I’m not sure I can do it.


Did you mean 140? And you are a tailwheel pilot?

Many people have suggested I should look into experimentals given the cost and regulations on the certified market.


Just a hobby actually. I am semi retired but work as a scientist.


Anyone here a pilot? If so, what sort.

I am a flight instructor in single engine land and gliders and a commercial pilot in helicopters. https://image.nostr.build/c80906ea26ce6a83ff2f9c0cead9e79159b7694c4f4e4e15d5e0ff2ff9c8dd55.jpg


Yeah right. What a joke.
