Seems like bloomberg once again is just making stuff up. Senior TikTok exec denies saying "we can't comment on pure fiction"

Are you trying to tell me that nature already designed a way to naturally regulate CO2 in the atmosphere? You mean CO2 won't just rise forever?!?!
Regardless, I guess we should still pay a global tax to our overlord elites just to be safe!
what does NAZI stand for?
National Socialist German Workers Party

...a far right-wing group....
It always amazes me the massive lying that takes place on this issue.
I'm sure there are a myriad of benefits of strength training.
However a big factor is in keeping up muscle mass to prevent falls as you age. Its very common for an older person to be relatively healthy, then fall and break something, and that starts a downward spiral of health collapse.
True. I was there sometime in 2012 or so....funny enough they officially call their currency "Balboas"...and its listed as such on most forex sites.
It was an unexpected trip, so I didnt have time to research, I was rushing around in the airport pre-flight trying to exchange my USD for "Balboas" and the forex guy just laughed and took my 2 x $100 bills and handed them right back and said "poof! now they're Balboas!"
From what I understand Carter came up with a plan to turn it back over to Panama in 1977, which was enacted by Clinton in 1999.
Regarding #2.
I'm not well versed on the particulars either, however my question is: Why wasn't the US ever paid back for building it?
A cursory google search indicates that the US spent approx $300M to build the canal, in 1914 money! Given that gold was $25 / oz at the time this is about 12M oz gold ($32B in current USD).
This is another typical case of politicians engaging in behavior that would never happen in the real world. Who would ever invest that kind of money and effort in doing something like that and then just "turn it over" with a $0 price tag attached.
Didn't they do a similar thing a decade or so back? France had some sort of vote they didn't like so they invalidated and made them keep voting until they got the result they wanted?
but it is powerless when someone logs directly into a user’s phone
Thats true for every form of encryption, if you have the private key (ie. the users phone), you can access the data....
However that hides the real attack vector. Many of these "encrypted chat" stores the data unencrypted on local device....the problem comes if you have some type of "backup my phone to the cloud" service turned on (which both iphone and android have). Then those chats go to the cloud where who knows who has access....
I paid for all of this stuff before I got into bitcoin, so if I were going to do it all over again, I'd probably keep my gym membership,
eh....if you use this equipment regularly then who cares....your "health balance" is more important than your "bitcoin balance"
I subscribed to ESPN+ and I'm pretty underwhelmed.
The main reason I did it was to watch college football....and there are a good amount of games. However, very frustratingly it seems if something is on ESPN broadcast, then its unavailable on ESPN+.....like whats the point?!?
All in all I will be very happy when the entire broadcast / cable / traditional media collapses completely.
In retrospect I probably should've just subscribed to Youtube....but I just can't stand giving google any money.....
From what I remember LN in Green Wallet was marked as an "Experimental" feature, and to access that you needed to set something in preferences to "access experimental features"
I think the idea is good, but I think you are too low in USD allocation. She is 70....its quite possible you are going to have health cost and need things like sitters, etc in coming years. Maybe go 75/25?
83,4% will be used to buy BTC, the plan is to do DCA during 2 years.
This part confuses me a bit...do you mean you will actually go 100% USD and then buy in BTC over 2 years until you reach 83% of total? Or do you mean you will lump-sum buy 83% BTC and then add to it via DCA over next 2 years?
In general I think DCA only really makes sense when:
- You are using cash-flow to acquire bitcoin
- You are executing a DCA plan over a decade or so
I'm not sure DCA-ing makes any real sense over a 2 year period when you are already sitting on the cash.....the volatility is just too extreme over a 2 year period....if BTC runs to 200K during that time then you've cost yourself half your potential stack. If it trades sideways around 95K then it doesn't matter.
Sure if it falls to 30K over the 2 year period you will get a bigger stack, I just think that is not very likely given macro environment.
I would just lump sum buy.
I live close to Pacific Palisades and thought I needed to evacuate.
Whoa. Be safe man....is fire moving away from you?
Disclaimer: I know nothing really about the specifics below, simply relaying a conversation I had
Years ago, I used to make biz trips to San Diego for work. During one of those trips I had dinner with work colleagues, and one of their spouses came who was a fireman. I asked him about the "wildfire situation" (this was like 2010) and he said.
- We need to have probably 10x the number of controlled burns, which we arent doing, and
- One day most of LA will be wiped out by a wildfire
#1 seemed logical, but I thought #2 was just being hyperbolic. But I always think about it, because he said it in a very causal way as if it was common knowledge.
I think Zucks personal arc can't be really understood without realizing the "turning point" for him was when he started getting involved in martial arts.
He shifted from being pro-gov to neutral to now vaguely anti-gov. I don't think its coincidence...
A person who trains in physical combat probably has the natural increase in testosterone that makes them reject the idea that they should blindly follow some faceless bureaucrats agenda.
Its important to remember that Sam also sells a shitcoin: WorldCoin.
Its important to remember that he's a shitcoiner because it highlights the truth of his underlying values. As such, there is a high percentage likelihood that he lies routinely, just like most of the other HN / SV crowd.
I would suggest starting with Ubuntu or Fedora. Those are both the 2 most mainstream distros and you will have the best support.
Personally, I use Fedora but many claim that Ubuntu is more user friendly. (I've used Linux so long that I can't honestly tell if Ubuntu is more user friendly than Fedora or not -- but I know most converts from Windows seem to prefer it)
