Explanation

See? there are levels of understanding.  In everything.  And to someone without understanding a wise man appears to be a fool.

You realize that vaccine shot is not AT ALL free, right?  (By the way, I am NOT anti-vaccine, though I am very MUCH anto mandates.)

Most of the midwits that talk about Ethereum on twitter are basically defending it with the EXACT same logic we have heard for 5+ years.  That it has "features" bitcoin does not have on the base layer and therefore is capable of different things.  For example:



But TINA gets it 100% right here, though he's also taking a "toxic" jab.

The thing missing from Gretta's understanding is "Why Blockchain?".  The fact this is still even a topic of such widespread magnitude is MADDENING to me.  Ethereum has made a fundamental design flaw. There is no reason to put the "whole world on a L1 blockchain" unless what you really want is a massively wasteful panopticon.  (Certain meglomaniac sociopaths might actually find this attractive, sadly).

I do not think it is even possible for Moore's law to ever bring us to where this is a good idea either. Because as we store more data in these immutable databases the data we are storing is increasing just as the computational power to store and process them is.  We will always have more data to store than easy ability to do it, and in the end the right way to DO Ethereum is for it to be run on distributed networks ANCHORED on a blockchain. Liquid is a possible other compromise here.  It's fedarated model anticipates some centralization, and if Liquid is actually used that blockchain is gonna get BIIIIIG.   Why store the entire data on the blockchain if you can store the hash of that data though?  I suppose the argument would be to never lose that stored data.  Which means the entire world "database" also has an endless undo button as it branches out ridiculously in every direction forever.

I dunno... maybe I am an idiot. George Gilder has actually sided with the lunatics (in my opinion) on this one... which actually scares me.  He's a fairly brilliant bastard.

I doubt you really meant that.

It's called society (from: social, ) for a reason.
Therefore it's not called conformity or uniformity.

I take it you don't normally indulge in a Subway mystery meat steak bomb with extra American cheese food product.....

Personally, I'll take top blade (flatiron) over either ribeye or striploin any day, although I do eat all 3.

It's more tender and more flavorful than either. The only thing more tender than the flatiron (infraspinatus) is the tenderloin (psoas major) which is seriously lacking in flavor.

I also consider medium rare to be overcooked.

As for the beef itself, I prefer grain fed and barley finished Wagyu, Longhorn/Charolaise cross, Limousin, or Hereford, but Angus will do in a pinch.

It absolutely must be humanely harvested, preferably on-farm, and dry aged for 21 days. I think 21 days is the sweet spot. Too much fear in slaughterhouse beef. It affects the flavor.

They've already spent your future tax boy.

I will. Have fun being a lab-rat.

Haha. I forgot, unless you shove your spending down people's throats in a bitcointalk thread you're poor. Good one, Bob! Good luck with the ranch.

Have fun staying an asshole

Considering everything I've been through, pretty fucking good. NGL.

HFSP.

Stating a fact or asking a question? They are two different things, Bob.

Again, what does it feel like being a self-righteous prick?

I'm merely stating fact.

You think that's informed consent you have?

Lol. How does it feel being a self-righteous prick?

I don't want to sound brave or controversial, but how does it feel being a laboratory animal?

Explanation

I really need to get back into Lightning again.

Running an Umbrel node that I'm super happy with, but just haven't had the incentive or desire to play with Lightning again - Too much other stuff going on in my life sorta thing.

Half debating surveying for natural gas deposits around 2025'ish on segments of our ranch, and see if I can't start doing some of that waste-emission-based mining with some of the new offerings available.

I mean, we'll have at least 50kWh of Solar available to us, but not enough to run a serious mining op - Will be entirely dedicated to powering the ranch/home needs.

Anyway, back to playing FFVIX I guess... Sorta kinda having a love/hate relationship with that game getting a Summoner up to level 73 so far...

And anti vaxxers are, independent thinking libertarians?

There's always a choice. I can't imagine the misery you live in if you hate every aspect of society.

Pro-vaxxers and Covid maniacs are just sheeple. Plain and simple.
