Ask me questions about electronics on the circuit level. I don't know about Raspberry Pi:s, programming modern microcontrollers etc, but I do know about resistors, capacitors, inductors, voltage regulators, op-amps, digital logic, and so on and so forth. I can probably help you repair something or build something. I also know a thing or two about mechanics. If my service is free or paid is up to you! Nostr and Lightning is new to me, I'm trying to learn, so please excuse any errors on my part regarding it. I live in Sweden.

Last Notes npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Quality surge protector for your computers? npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Great playing and singing! Haven't decided what to run when I do get a node, but probably not Core 30 without reconfiguring the value anyway. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Yes, looking again, the stickmen are indeed drifting a little bit, so it's unlikely to be faked. But in person, you would just see a blur. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions reply to you and @npub10jz…ar98 npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions It's just a silly drawn figure. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dick-butt npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions @npub1jt9…la9y : Hi! (I'll write this in English even though we're both Swedish, just in case the same problem affects anyone else who wants to know.) Since a while ago, BIS #177 to be precise, your new episodes doesn't show up on Podbean. (I still use Podbean since I have to download the podcasts, and that doesn't seem possible from Fountain. If I didn't have to, I would've tried it a long time ago.) They still exist if I open the feed, and I can download them by marking the MP3 address, right click, click 'save link as', so they obviously exist, but something has broken the Podbean website's ability to update its page for your podcast. Probably something related to podcasting 2.0. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Advertisements are probably responsible for 1/10 of the bad stuff in the world that fiat money is. I'm not saying that to diminish it, it's a huge amount. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I'm probably going to attract trolls with heavy cognitive dissonance by this post, who didn't think through its meaning, but whatever: npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Thanks. I thought "wasn't this already approved, and didn't concern self-custody?" npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Put another way: Who decides what is a wrongdoing... npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I've never been on Twittex, but I've noticed something here, that only recently floated up to conscious level: There is rarely the hating on each other and picking sides, but when someone writes something IMO rotten of a certain few varieties, it invariably gets huge amounts of zaps and likes, and very rarely opposition in the comments, even though I know there are lots of people here with the same opinion in the matter as me, i.e. thinking it's rotten. The reverse is also true, but not to the same extent - they get opposition a bit more often. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Privacy tech is good and completely necessary, but this shit that is spreading around the world needs pressure against it from more angles. How do we get the obvious fact into the heads of people that this isn't about protection, but grabbing more power through controlling narratives, and eventually locking up political opposition? "We can't" isn't a good enough answer if we want to even be able to use privacy tech in the future. If left with as little pushback as is currently the case, they will not stop until it's literally impossible to use private systems, either through being completely blocked or guaranteed to go to prison. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions They taste pretty strong, but also sweet. And of course, like cinnamon. Where I live, rice porridge, (similar or identical, not sure, to rice pudding) is a traditional Christmas dish, with cinnamon sticks in it. I've always liked to chew on those when I've eaten the porridge, but they are probably a bit milder since some of the flavor has gone into the porridge while cooking it. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions It's far more sinister than that. If it imploded, there would at least be a possibility to rebuild. If enough of these surveillance and control laws goes through, it will be on an exponential, inevitable path to eternal complete totalitarianism. No hope in decades, our entire lifetimes, or even far beyond them. Not ever. And it's not just the EU, similar things are rolling out faster or slower in most parts of the world it seems. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I seem to always run in to the strangest problems with YouTube, which few others seem to be having. This time, when I try to search, nothing happens when I press enter or click the magnifying glass icon. If I search the web for a channel and click it, nothing happens when I click "videos". npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions You mean the stuff about a year ago that someone had managed to extract the secret with some crazy apparatus when having physical access? (can't remember if it was X-ray laser or what it was - expensive thing anyway) npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions "Please let your parents read it, and tell them to hurry. Especially in UK, but EU and everywhere else too." npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Seems kinda shitty to do, but does it make it insecure? npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions A few of these are actually decent. Usually, pretty much all of this kind of quotes feels more like punching down than something uplifting... npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions It's a catch 22. If the current system were to actively block any information of the new, or even punish those who spread it, either legally or technically, the new can't bootstrap. And if allowed to continue without protest, I'm sure they'll sooner or later find a way to mandate ISP:s to block and/or report usage of the new system. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions The Trumpian way being practiced in the EU. Suggest something outrageous, then back off to something terrible but somewhat less so, and hope that everyone agrees because it's not quite as bad as the first... Banning anonymity is still a huge step in the direction of totalitarianism, probably the event horizon, from which freedom can never recover, ever. And banning children and youth from installing programs on their own computers, which smartphones are... That's just stupid. If it had happened in the 90's, 00's, with PC:s, I'd say the majority of today's experts in programming and other IT stuff would be working in some completely different field, and we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are today in this technology. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions OK, that explains some things. Here on NOSTR, there at least was, a few months to a year ago, a lot of it. It still exists, but I've seen much less of it lately. With some luck it's the protocols freedom slowly de-twitterizing the people... I've never used twitter or nowadays X myself, but I've heard that there's much hate in general there due to its algorithm, and most people on NOSTR came from there. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions While I haven't listened to the podcast or watched the video, there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that this push towards "age verification" around the world has absolutely nothing to do with protecting minors. Forcing KYC on everyone isn't their method, but their goal. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Have I stumbled into some other Nostr system that this client renders as regular posts? I'm using Iris. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions This is gonna mess with some people's heads. Hating on trans people seems to be a popular sport here, yet this current owner is more free and sovereign than the 1st owner, and way more so than modern counterparts running Windows 11... npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions "You don't give your car keys to the company and ask for permission to drive". Unfortunately, things are going in this direction too. Watch Louis Rossmann's videos. Functions that are already installed in the car requiring subscription fees to work, from full power to heated seats... npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions It's a problem that people can do such a thing without meaning harm. You can't punch someone without meaning harm, taking someone's photo without consent, to use in whatever services with whatever "privacy" policies should be held to the same standard in people's minds... npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions That's essentially impossible. Either resistance succeeds, at least in some part of the world that remains free(er), or it's 100%, minus the elites who control it. If not shortly, within 20 years. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions The problem with that is that "freeple" will be maybe 1-5 % of the amount of "sheeple". No network effect, no wealth, as the rest wouldn't want to trade with "terrorists" and whatever they come up with. And no defense if they were to decide the "freeple" are a serious threat. This is not a viable way alone. Advocacy, lobbying, etc. is also required. And most of all information, not many even know that things are being planned, at least here in EU. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions While dark, this seems more and more true, not just for Ross, but everyone in currently more-or-less free countries. This needs to be fought on every level possible - privacy tech, lobbying, political parties where applicable (won't work in US), and most of all informing people who don't know - mainstream media rarely if ever does. For example, I doubt 10% of people here in EU know about Chat Control 2.0 or the other surveillance/censorship stuff in the pipeline, despite the former being discussed and almost implemented several times, for years. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions If the craze about ID and age verification keeps going, and doesn't spill over too much to Nostr clients, we might get some more privacy oriented people here. But given what I've seen so far since the internet surveillance insanity started about two decades ago, it won't be too many, unfortunately. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions What's insecure and what have they done in the past? (I'm not trying to defend them, I want to know.) npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions It's possible it's random, every time it doesn't happen, people don't post about it, and it's bound to happen to someone at random. Otherwise, there could be an internet connected security camera at that community garden, by some company with highly unethical practices (facial recognition of the two people, linking them together, object/picture recognition identifying the pickleball shirt, system connected to the ad/algorithm feeds on YT and Xitter). npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Who put the spam in the spam-spam-spam-spam-spam, who put the spam in the spamalamadingdong? npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Didn't mean to sound patronizing, sorry. These things are often sold without any warnings and sometimes with fake laser protection glasses, and many people doesn't know how dangerous they are... npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Please be careful and either wear real laser safety goggles for the wavelength and power emitted, or leave the room before starting it and wait until it's done before re-entering. A single tiny reflective surface, in an unsuitable angle, on what you're marking is all it takes for permanent eye damage. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions The cheap ones without internet connection or an app, that are "stupid" and just drive around randomly, if they still are sold. Crappy batteries last time I checked though, old NiMH technology, which can be decent, but certainly wasn't in those, it was lowest imaginable quality. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I don't think that opinion is unpopular. But media and others want everyone to believe it is. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions And someone who has bitcoin and is willing to pay it for your goods or services. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Let's hope this isn't too true, since if it's too late this time, it's likely too late literally forever. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Depending on how it's implemented, that could be great: the Eurocrats get to feel that they have actually done something (even if it's useless in reality), so that they leave the question alone, at least for a while, while E2E encryption is safe. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Same to you. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions BankID is happening in Sweden, has been for over a decade, more and more. Knowing how things are likely to be abused is not waste of time, but an indication to what direction to not build, in order to not build in an open invitation for it, but instead do it another way, or what to watch out for and attempt to speak out against when it comes to what's happening in society, etc. A basic safety/security precaution, much like "worrying" about not mixing chlorine-containing bleach and certain other cleaning products. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Given your question for a point, I guess you want an actionable answer. There is none. I'm not suggesting to abandon or change Nostr, it isn't a technical problem, but a societal and/or governmental one, depending on circumstances. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions In the future I was referring to. I don't know by whom, maybe government, maybe some kind of employers' union. Maybe it's one of those things that just happen in a bad way by themselves, even though nobody really wants them, because it comes packaged with some benefit that seems to overrule the bad thing among the masses, yet lead to serious consequences later, such as the surveillance and locked-down-ness of smartphones. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Have we, if one linked to your actual identity is required for you to work? npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I see this from the "outside", as I'm not religious, I have seen this mentioned as a warning for a decade or so, regarding digital ID:s, implant chips, etc., but a worrying trend recently is people who advocate for this kind of surveillance, or at least discourage opposition to it, because it's "God's plan, and can't be avoided" or similar. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I think it's mixed. Some experts lie blatantly, but many others think they're right, sometimes because they base their "expertise" off the stuff the ones who lie say and write. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Even though it certainly looks like it, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not just a troll for one round of reply: I was implying a future where Nostr is much bigger than today, used by pretty much everyone. A future where most of today's Nostriches/Bitcoiners, if still alive, think they've won because bitcoin is the main currency, Nostr is the main protocol for social media and much more, there are no centralized digital ID:s in most places, etc. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Obviously in a way that shortened my life by at least 3 years, according to the text... npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Seriously, this is slightly worrying. For example, imagine a future where you will need a Nostr identity, tied to your real identity, in order to work. Apart from being decentralized, and thereby not being a honeypot for governments and regular criminals in the same way, what's the difference to what's going on in Britain now? I mean, it's less bad, but it's still control. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions But it isn't permanent, as usual, I assume? Like, it's a few months and then CC2 will come up again. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions No, there needs to be some thinking and common sense, risk evaluation. Otherwise, this mentality is what leads to things like the Tide pod challenge. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Why? Is it about to come flying at me? :-P npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions No risk of last-second U-turn? In that case, great! npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Not a girlfriend AI, but a friend AI, literally called "friend", has ads in the subway. They have been defaced with messages about AI not being a good replacement for a real friend, and it being a surveillance device (which it is, to a truly concerning degree). See Louis Rossmann's recent video about it. Comments to said video are fun to read, they include many like "they named it "friend" because "Big Brother" was already taken". npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Doesn't have to mean that, if I understand it correctly. It could also, sadly, mean that in the same places that has the highest levels of hatred for trans people, others are more likely to search for trans porn. Possibly even because trans people and people who love them are forced to hide and turn to porn instead of finding each other. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I hope this is real and not AI or Photoshop. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions The first time I thought something similar was probably around 2010-2015 sometime, regarding EU data retention. Every time since then, I've been wrong. I don't know if there's any level of repression that could cause any serious protests or such, as long as it's done as gradually as it is. And for every step, it's getting less and less possible. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions They seem way more common here than elsewhere though. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Then there's something wrong (or right, if you have actively set filters for it) with your client... npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions This is not intended as "FUD", but to direct attention to something important. Please don't dismiss, but think through. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Yeah, I know it's a real thing, but it seemed strange that a paper comes out in the US, especially given its nature, and then just days later Swedish media talks about it being a thing with Swedish ticks, something I didn't know. Everything I've heard about the ticks here before has been about TBE and Lyme disease. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I guess it also depends on exactly how the law is worded, I don't know that. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions How much money is freedom worth for you? You could take that amount off the exchange and risk not being able to spend it. However include the other risk in that calculation: having bitcoin IOU:s instead of bitcoin (i.e. having it on the exchange) poses a risk of neither getting bitcoin nor fiat from it, if the exchange rug pulls/gets hacked/is ordered by the government. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions One of the most important (for them) reasons for that type of news is probably to give people some news to read, to cover for the intentional lack of any news that are actually important (for the readers). npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Is something strange going on? npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Something else that's annoying, that I've noticed in more and more podcasts recently is that the ads start in the middle of a sentence. Not sure if this is some kind of scientifically proven manipulation tactic to get people to pay more attention to the ad, or just crappy ad injector AI. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions AFAIK it's been common here (Sweden) for at least decades (I haven't researched how it was before I have memories). Not like separate doesn't exist, but I've never seen it as strange or uncommon with unisex. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Seems like this is made up for the sole purpose of making Bitcoin look bad. For example, would someone legitimately thinking it's that weird capitalize the B? npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I wonder if (but doubt that) there's a way to get mainstream media to talk about this, and all of the problems with it. Here in Sweden, it seems like nobody even knows that it's going on. When I tell people, they, rightly, think it's incredibly bad, but they've never heard of it before. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Have you had that address earlier? When I switched wallets, some zaps went to the old and some to the new, probably because not all relays updated. I had to update one more time, and wait for a while as the system was working (I don't remember which web client I was using, I think it was Iris), and then it went to the right one. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions It can be good when it's important issues, for example self custody, but when it's things that are only tangentially related or not at all related to keeping coins secure etc., it probably scares people off unnecessarily, hence delaying mass adoption. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions @npub1h8n…rpev You asked what the listeners think regarding non-quantum resistant coins. My thoughts: Who is doing the stealing: if we keep it as it is, the thieves are the ones with the quantum computers. If the coins are burned, the thieves, or perhaps vandals would be a better term then, are the people responsible for coding and implementing the fork. Do "we" want to be the bad guys, even if the damage might be worse if we keep the possibility for others to be the bad guys? npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions "Why don't straight folks feel the need to March in the street about their sexual life" npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Indeed. Even if the facial recognition thing was against anti-LGBTQIA+ protests, I would be against it. A single election and that could be turned 180 degrees, or to be against something completely different that I don't want gone. The government shouldn't have such powers. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Also, high fructose corn syrup is very rare here, though it has always been. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Not sure about the specifics of what's put in bold and not - the calcium carbonate would be the calcium fortification mentioned, and is the same as in calcium supplements and some antacids (the other calcium compounds may also be part of this fortification), while I've heard from other anti-junkfood people that soy lecithin (and lecithin in general) is junk - but the point still remains valid, it's not the same as before. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Someone once warned against trolling the left, because they sometimes actually make it real. This seems dangerously close to the same thing but regarding the right. Given how rabid the American right (including many Nostriches, btw) seems to be in matters regarding sex, it would almost not surprise me if this actually went through. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions But, I'm in Sweden and you are (I guess) in the US, and I can read you. That's quite a bit of DX! (If nobody have said it yet: in radio terminology, DX means something like listening to transmissions from far away) npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions How do you define a troll? npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions One of the best things of the app (I don't even know which app you're using and it doesn't matter) is that it uses Nostr - so if you get tired of it for some reason, you can choose another Nostr app and you will still have your posts, messages, followers, follows, etc.! npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions We know resonance exists in electric, acoustic, etc. systems, but I don't understand what you mean. What would be the system in which the resonance occurs, and in what medium? And how would you tune it? npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Sounds like woo, though finding water pipes like that also sounds like woo. What I hope for is that whatever is going on is going to get a proper scientific explanation - the what and how of it all. That we one day can explain this to the same level we currently can explain radio, X-rays, etc. (and, for that matter (no pun intended), can one day explain much better than today what is going on at the subatomic level, quantum stuff and so on) npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Welcome from someone in your neighbor country Sweden! npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I'm fairly convinced there is at least one type of radiation or energy of some kind that science has yet to discover, and is currently treating as pseudoscience. There are too many unexplained phenomena for it not to be so. I have seen someone locate an underground plastic water pipe to within 15 cm (half a foot) with nothing but two bent steel rods, in a place he had never been before. There are earthquake lights and the lights in Hessdalen, Norway. Etc. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions A Goomba from Mario, seen from behind and slightly above, but blue-purple-ish instead of brown-yellow. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Crystal clear! npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I'm LED to believe they have a shining customer reputation by the power company... It would be hard to keep anyone in the dark about it... npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I doubt that's true where I live though, here it's cold, usually below freezing, with periods of -10C (14F) or colder, in the winter. And often snow cover. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions @npub1lun…27lj npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Power in cold storage... npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions What I want is to be able to choose if I want one or not. Before even considering it, it would have to come with extremely strong guarantees of privacy, open source, completely reviewed by many, tested for a couple of decades for safety, etc. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I'm real, currently sitting in front of my computer with a beer. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I'm sorry you had to go through that. Be well, you too. We certainly think and believe differently (e.g. I believe in the "creative and destructive force bigger than ourselves" you mention, in the form of natural processes in all different scales, such as the conditions in which life on Earth started, and the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, but I don't think it's intelligent, it's just cause and effect since the Big Bang, possibly to some extent influenced by quantum randomness since then), but we can still agree on the things we agree on, and be friendly to each other regardless. That's what many of the people I'm talking about can't or won't. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Where is the money printer located? In de basement! npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions It is more about what people put in these words. Not particularly related to this context, but "take responsibility" is a phrase used by governments (at least the Swedish one, but I think more too) to say "abide by the laws that we have made" or "do what we want in excess of the laws that we made" when talking about citizens and companies, and "put more laws in place" when talking about themselves. I don't think many bitcoiners agree with that definition. If that definition is on one end, and "hold your own keys, store them securely" etc. is on the other end, that's quite a wide spectrum. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I think I figured it out. The air is probably supersaturated with moisture, just waiting for a reason to condense out. The sonic shockwave from the lightning tips it over that limit, forming more cloud - it's not the cloud sinking down, it's a new part of the cloud. npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions I'll have to disappoint you by saying I'm atheist myself, but your point still mostly stands, in my view too - whatever the randomness comes from - divine power or simply randomness from the beginning of the universe and/or quantum mechanics, amplified through time- people have different circumstances and are different, meaning there is such a thing as good and bad luck. However I don't believe in the law of attraction either, and think it can even be a harmful belief in many cases (maybe somewhat exaggerated, but e.g. "if I think positively, others will do so too", proceeding to walk through crime-infested area). npub152jgfxwyqfpj5d448pq5sdevv37t66xshm8gpvkszp6kc0za7dyshftfmu ElectronicsQuestions Someone wrote somewhere a thing that I think is probably true in many cases with Bitcoin/Nostr people, regarding the "just world" fallacy. If they allow themselves to entertain the thought that people can be the victim of unlucky circumstances, they would have to accept that they are more lucky than someone else. I'm not sure why, but this seems to create cognitive dissonance in many bitcoiners. I think this is relevant, as many are bragging about their "proof of work", some downright denying the existence of luck. Seems like they put more value to their amount of work put down than the result, despite most of them knowing through Austrian economics that's not how value works, at least not interpersonally.
