lol this reminds me about a random thread that i started on a local forum in 2004 and it went on for a bit less than 10years and got to 58k comments

I feel like frozen meat tends to always taste worse

also depending on where you are most grocery store meat tends not to be of the greatest quality, butchers/farmers with grass fed beef tend not to run many ads with loss leaders sadly :D

I'm always surprised by the bat shit crazy things happening on US flights. I fly quite a lot but I've never encountered any issues, yet between the news and stories from my US flight attendant friend I feel like its a different world

Its a typical walled garden except the garden is for bitcoiners which makes it ok apparently

"Bitcoin company" suffers from no true scotsman problem.

Theres no two people who would fully agree on whats the definition of it.

If you truly think about it anything incorporated in any jurisdiction is not a bitcoin company but a fiat company working in bitcoin space at best.

Until you are ruled by the rules of fiat world (regulation, jurisdictions, permission to wipe you ass) can you really be a bitcoin company?

then again you can look at this differently (as i'm starting to). We are in war for freedom so the only "purity" test worth smelling is "is the output of this endeavor moving us a step closer or a step further from freedom". Sadly that is fairly hard rule to have when judging from the outside but its fairly easy as a personal creed.

So in the end taking VC money, creating a new public company, grants from HRF and OpenSats, nothing really matters. Do it all, suck every last bit of funding you can from anyone that is willing to part with any money out there. Just direct it to a good cause. And it doesn't mean that you need to fall on your sword and just work on random freedom tech stuff that will never see the light of day. No, actually building successful businesses and enabling other businesses to succeed is the best way to make a difference.

If you look at cypherpunks of the 90s lots of them were independently wealthy, working for big corps, sipping margaritas after dotcom boom etc. The point being that achieving some level of comfort and creating a profitable business is the actual fuck you move. Not checking out life and living in squats that are falling apart.

Bitcoin is the promised savior, but we will actual need to build that better world, and what better way than to collectively drain every bit of energy and resources available and direct it towards that future.

Welcome back @benthecarman

Dont you think costa rica is incredibly overpriced? It feels like a robbery on every corner. Nature is amazing tho.

Outside of local fruit the food is also rather unexceptional in my opinion

Yeah I was a fan of synology but this is a very hp printer move

I havent throw away any encrypted or non encrypted device with permanent storage until last year which meant lots of drilling through hard drives and phones (i had phones from 25 years ago)

Shouldnt the burden of proof be on you not them? If you are looking for fairness then you should also think about the fairness to them since you dont have any proof and you would just be putting them under pressure

this was inspired by anthropic releasing llms.txt with their mcp stuff. I think every project nowadays should include this in the repo to make building with the help of any llm that much easier

the rebellion always needs funding.

one third seems very low by todays standards

@k00b why does nostr SN note not tag the author if the author has pubkey set in their SN profile?

this cant happen soon enough - the elevators in the building i'm staying at are driving me insane

can this really be attributed to the wallet change?
