The experimental vaccines would not have been able to cause the widespread damage that they did, if an alternative treatment had been recognized.
The mere existence of this widely used intestinal patasite drug (ivermectin) threatened hundreds of billions of dollars in profits. The emergency approval of mRNA vaccines was contingent on there being no alternative treatment.
That's why anyone who entertained ivermectins use in treating viruses was so openly & aggressively attacked.

Bitcoin is growing up.
I think that this growing up stage was inevitable but that the Bitcoin emerges from it is not. I think NGU is baked into the incentives so I have no doubts around that aspect, at least over the next decade.
It's more the decentralised & permissionless aspect. Will these b properties continue to be valued as the wider population accepts Bitcoin derivatives over UTxOs? Upholding the principles that allow for it's permissionless use are inefficient but critical for solving the money problem. Will a small group of psychopaths be able to uphold these principles as bitcoiners exercise their newly acquired optionality?
I don't know.
I know the lines that I will not cross.
Blacklisting addresses over QC fears is one such line. It will be interesting to see where this goes & how it's resolved but it actually doesn't worry me. There's something divine about magic internet money that leads me to want to trust the process, however it unfolds.

They were bullshit charges from the start.
Nether of them should have taken pleas for crimes they didn't commit. That was a massive mistake for them & for every open source developer.
Yes - legislation through enforcement is a huge govt overreach. How do you fight it? By taking the uncomfortable path, by taking it to court. Found guilty? Appeal it & keep fighting.
Yes it will be uncomfortable, scary & painful, but it won't be forever.
If you're lawfully in the right, it's your duty as a free human to fight the unlawful behaviour.
Peaceful expression (code) & seeking privacy is not a crime, it's everyone's God given right.
And before you come at me with the expenses, it's now far easier to defend yourself with the help of LLMs. I quietly didn't donate a sat to Keonne & William primarily because they rolled over. If they'd fought the bullshit like hodlonought did, I would have happily donated. I know that was civil & has different risks but the value for me is in the precedent.
I'm not hating on anyone, it was probably some crazy shit to go through. I would love them to be free. People need to become more aware of the agreements they're making with the state though. This will happen more & more.

Yeah most likely came in on an animal. No you're not infested.
I sometimes get them walking through grass & have seen one or two in the house that has been picked up from outside.
They're not like fleas or mites that can infest your bedding. They climb up a stalk of grass & wait for a passing animal. They latch on, get fat on blood & the drop off to grow/digest before repeating.
Get some fine nosed curved tweezers to be able to pull them off yourself it your animals.

I think I'm going to need to do that when I renovate the bathroom.
I should be able to clear the garage out enough to start tearing it all down next week. I've cleared half of it today (all the big chunky things & done a trip to the tip.
I kinda feel like the garage has been a bottle neck since it would also mean I would have a covered work area. It blows my mind to think how long I've avoided doing what is actually a trivial task.

GM
I'm pretty sure I have undiagnosed ADHD which explains certain work patterns I've had since high school.
I'm not wanting a formal diagnosis, just wanting to optimise my life for the meatsuit I was issued. I take on too many things, get overwhelmed & then find a way to justify doing nothing productive.
I'm currently cleaning out my garage in order to pull it down & replace it. I've put this off for about a decade & now I'm figuring out why. The task of cleaning out & throwing away the accumulated stuff is daunting to me. It shouldn't be but it is. Pulling down the garage & putting a new one up feels exciting in contrast. I'm trying to focus on getting to that part.
If anyone has any general ADHD tips I'm open to hearing them. I feel like my whole Bitcoin journey has been getting to know my true self & unveiling my unconscious behaviours. Wild!

"The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao"
I'd say it's a matter of perspective rather than ignorance. There's little to be known here. Most of what you think is real knowledge is part of a subjective story, told by you, to yourself, from your perspective based on your beliefs. That story may be shared by many but that doesn't change the fact that it is just a story.
Since you can't turn off your own internal dialogue I think it best to tell yourself the most non limiting story you can.
'They hold some limiting beliefs' is the most accurate & non judgemental story I can find to tell myself.
I understand your sentiment, I've just been humbled too many times to believe that I'm further on this journey than another.

Yes - seeing things as they are rather than a slight on you or what you see as being important, is a more peaceful way of being.
It's never personal unless you make it personal.
It's OK to have preferences but you can't reject things based on whether they align with your preferences & expectations. This causes you to suffer unnecessarily.
Anger is unavoidable but it's also usually a flash & not a raging fire. It usually requires stoking (story telling) for the anger to persist. The persistent rage you occasionally feel, usually indicates that something you consider devine or pure is being defiled or attacked. This is useful. Find what it is you consider so divine as to spark this rage. This thing is important to you & the rage can be used as fuel for purposeful action. It's in this way that the energy of anger can be harnessed for good.

Judgement is always a double edged sword. The labels we apply to people & the stories we tell ourselves about them are often inaccurate & limiting for ourselves. I try not to judge others for the selfish reason of not wanting the reflected judgement.
I prefer to label someone as limited rather than judging them as a net negative. This is more a reflection of what they believe, rather than who they are. I might say something like 'they're caught in their script'.
Once I realise that there's a scene playing out, I can decide if I want to be a part of it or not, often I do not.
For those that have placed themselves in your life (eg boss, neighbor, relative, etc), it's hard to avoid their drama. It's likely that your drama resonates with theirs & you've both chosen each other to act it out.
Practicing the 4 agreements has been amazing at releasing my own judgement of others.
1. Take nothing personally - what they say has more to do with them than me. Why would I get upset by their limiting beliefs?
2. Make no assumptions - since it's very hard to not make assumptions I often try to find the best assumption I can to explain their reaction (eg they must be going through some turmoil at home).
3. Be impeccable with your word - I try to be as accurate as I can with the stories I tell myself & others.
4. Always do your best - you'll make mistakes, you'll take peoples actions/words personally, you'll make assumptions & you'll be sloppy with your words. You did the best you could do at that point in time & will continue to do your best in the future.
When I need to be discerning, I ask myself 'do they seek to control others or do they seek to empower them?' The answer to that question shows me everything I need to know.

Lol I looked at that movie last week & passed it over, I suspect because it was rated R & the assumptions I drew from that.
I'll have to give it a watch now that it has the Lyn Alden stamp of approval.
There seems to be so many largely unwatchable movies around now. I'm reminded as I so easily dismiss them, that each one cost a lot of resources & human time. It makes me feel a little sad.
I remember just turning up to the cinema & buying a ticket for something I've never even heard of. You got a lemon occasionally but I never fell asleep during the movie or walked out in dismay. I feel the slop is only going to become more prevalent as LLMs are integrated into film production.

My son drives a 1989 car that he restored. Its the same model that my petrol head mate had when I was 19.
He gets a discount on his registration fee because it's vintage (no special plate though).
The cars we bought as teenagers second hand for peanuts are now selling for $50k+ because they're so rare. These are the same cars we thrashed & flogged until they couldn't be easily repaired & then abandoned. Shit boxes, not antiques 🤣
It reminds me of old people grumbling about the expense of things. Me, now knows this was inflation but I often wonder if they knew what was really causing it. I look at these antique Datsuns & Toranas & wonder if they were actually a good investment. 🤷

A CR visit is definitely in the future for me man.
Not sure when though.
It won't be guided by miracle berries but might involve them 🤣

I haven't.
I almost bought a plant about 18 months ago but I still couldn't justify it. It looks like a novelty to me.
A novelty I haven't tried yet, but I still couldn't justify the $ to myself.

I'm not even seeing the pun so no - it wasn't intentional.
I meant the wordl social layer driven by the Defauxking npub. I only noticed that npub yesterday.

I agree there are a lot of unknowns & unnecessary trust. I've never recommended people buy it MSTR or STRC because I don't talk to normies much. IMO both stocks are for them, not bitcoiners. From a fiat investment standpoint, MSTR & STRC are lower risk than 95% of the other stuff on the NYSE.
I think many bitcoiners see risk differently to fiat investors. I don't personally see any difference from a risk perspective, in trusting Saylor or trusting Fink. One has more volatility but the catastrophic risk (total loss) is almost identical in probability.
There is something interesting about the way MSTR locks up bitcoin in their structure. Unlike Luna, STRC isn't a stable coin even though it behaves like one. They don't need to defend their peg, the free market does it for them. At some point the real fiat return on STRC becomes too attractive for fiat speculators to ignore. It reminds me more of GBTC than Tera Luna in it's effect on bitcoin's spot price. It's the first ever sustainable ponzi where all the investors actually benefit.
I think the one thing Saylor underestimates is OGs selling their Bitcoin for principled reasons rather than economic reasons. His arrogance only makes this more likely, but in the end bitcoin eventually goes up because supply is absolutely fixed & demand for it is still increasing.
I think the next 8 months is going to be pretty wild for bitcoiners - his STRC thing is still hitting friction on the 15th of every month. That gets diminished in July when they move to bi monthly dividend payments. It's really only been the last 2 months that it's budged at all. Most of the hype buys prior to this has been him selling the common stock (slightly dilutive in bitcoin terms). Whatever Saylor - pump my freaking bitcoin bags, I want to buy pasture & cows.

I don't know man, mine is slightly different. I have 4 ceramic (cream coloured) candles on top & don't have the fine secondary filters underneath. I'm running rainwater through it & have no need to remove fluoride. Those really fine filters slow things down a lot & IMO are unnecessary for rain/well water.
I can filter enough to fill my 5 gallon travel container within 8 hrs.
It gets clogged & slowed with fine sediment which I clean off with a non abrasive, clean scourer.
Doubling the filters would speed things up but also increase your consumables.

Let's play that out.
Bitcoin takes another leg down to $40K & then grinds away as it tends to do. Unlikely, but possible scenario IMO.
What does MSTR do? It plunges well under $100 per share until bitcoin recovers. It's still able to pay it's STRC dividends but confidence in STRC & MSTR (as well as bitcoin) dips for a while. STRC falls below $99 for a prolonged period (months? years?). They put their nominal dividend up to 12% with the calculated dividend being even higher. Worst case scenario is that there's a prolonged period where their flywheel isn't spinning & MSTR can't take advantage of the dip.
It slows them down but doesn't stop them. The MSTR shareholders lose more value on paper than ETF or STRC shareholders but nobody gets wiped out unless they've borrowed against their shares. It's price behaves like leveraged bitcoin but it carries little liquidation risk because there's little actual leverage.
I own a few MSTR shares. It's a side bet that has me keeping tabs on what they're doing. As a small shareholder I'd prefer he sat on the fiat rather than trying to single handedly push bitcoin's price higher. I see that as a pure ego move & as you said 'be humble or be humbled', Bitcoin has a way of punishing those who get too greedy.
I'm a little confused why a pension fund would buy stock that trades like leveraged Bitcoin. Why would they want to amplify bitcoin's volatility? If this scenario played out, they'd get a lot of criticism & pressure from fund members & probably sell those MSTR shares at a huge loss. Unless you have conviction in the underlying Bitcoin & MSTR's custody of it, you probably shouldn't be buying MSTR.
If you're wondering - yes I feel morally conflicted owning MSTR for the reason I mentioned before (milking the fiat ponzi). I'm not concerned I'll lose value but I'm not happy holding this shit long term, it's not bitcoin.

Where's the leverage risk?
$8B in debt with $62B worth of bitcoin & they've not taken any more debt on for years.
Issuing preferred stock with an obligation to pay ongoing dividends (no obligation to buy the stock back) carries no leverage risk.
Is it morally right? No I think it's wrong - they're stealing value from people who work for USD or save in it. But it's no worse than a bank issuing you new currency (as a loan) to buy a house & charging you interest. In this case there is an obligation to repay the loan, but with Strategy there is no such obligation, just a perpetual dividend.

I don't think it makes much of a difference. Trust Strategy or trust Blackrock, it's the same custodial risk. At least Strategy has a chance of out performing bitcoin in fiat terms.

The soil should be covered, either by plants or mulch to protect the life in the soil.
Grass is one of the best converters of sunshine into hydrocarbons. When you cut the grass, the plant prunes its roots releasing energy into the soil, giving soil life a boost.
As long as you don't let the grass go to seed or get too close to the vines, it's a net positive. Even better if you can mulch the cut grass onto your rows.

There aren't too many trees around here that turn into those autumnal colours.
Autumn is marked by the bright yellow flowers of Easter Cassia around here, at least for me. It's a gangly legume tree that few voluntarily plant but can't be stopped either.
People don't really know that they have it until after Easter when it flowers.
