I wouldn't have thought that's distinct to just one place.

Japan comes to mind first

54 sats \ 9 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 10h

Japan's a solid choice, but I know there are big, well-known Japanese communities in the US and Brazil that speak the language. My bad, I forgot to mention I was only asking about European countries. Bet @denlillaapan knows!

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @denlillaapan 9h

I meant basically every single one?

It's the default setting... definitionally in "nation-state" too (by Mises' definition that nation = language community)

44 sats \ 7 replies \ @Undisciplined 10h

When you say natively spoken in other places, you're including exclave communities then?

I was thinking in terms of not being the primary language anywhere else, or something like that.

Finland is my next guess, but I imagine there are Finnish communities in other countries too.

54 sats \ 6 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 10h

In Europe, almost every country has more than one official language, and in border areas, people in almost all of them speak the neighbor's language. But there is one where this doesn't happen. It's not Finland, because Swedish is also an official language there.

Off the top of my head,

Iceland
Norway
Baltics
Czech

Greece

But perhaps you meant something different with your question...?

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 1h

Iceland

Iceland’s the only European country that’s got just one official language, and it’s only spoken there.

Would you be open to selling high resolution files of these images for self printing?

30 sats \ 2 replies \ @Scoresby 15h

Oh sure. Most of the files I have aren't super high res (I use scans of the original images, but I usually the best I can get is 2000x3000 pixels). They blow up to 11" x17" quite nicely. Even the full movie poster ones look good if you use a nice printer and good paper.

The name reminds me of a Sherlock Holmes story; one of the few written from his perspective, rather than Watson's.

Every time you see someone mentioning words about "democracy", "democratic vote", "democratic system" etc you should remember this quote:

Since outright slavery has been discredited, democracy is the only remaining rationale for state compulsion that most people will accept. Democracy has proven only that the best way to gain power over people is to assure the people that they are ruling themselves. Once they believe that, they make wonderfully submissive slaves.

- Joseph Sobran - "The Myth of Limited Government"

71 sats \ 0 replies \ @zapsammy 22h

people have been duped into believing that the only form of slavery is thru shackles and bars; the more insidious form of slavery is free-range employment, like chickens on a farm (digital nomad-freelancers with a special IRS form); the deception is accomplished by propagating the message that if centralized mega-governments are dissolved, there shall be chaos in the streets; imagination is dead - people cannot imagine a free world without a ruling class;

Do you calculate electricity bills?

Is this ↓ information accurate?

FutureBit Apollo BTC: ~ 125 W in ECO mode and up to ~ 200 W in TURBO mode.

Braiins Mini Miner (BMM 101): ~ 35 W (some sources say ~40 W) at 1 TH/s.

BitAxe Ultra (another/related model in the BitAxe family): similarly ultra‐low, ~ 15–20 W (depending on version) reported.

FutureBit Apollo 2: The consumption is less precisely stated, but the documentation says the integrated power supply is 450 W and typical consumption around ~ 400 W for ~10 TH/s.

I have loosely looked at it but I don’t do it regularly or in any detail. Those numbers seem reasonable but I haven’t measured

50 sats \ 2 replies \ @030e0dca83 16h

Let's pretend these digits are accurate and machines work in top performance mode. 200+40+20+400=660 W per hour 660*24=15840 W or 15.84 kW per day

Electricity cost in my area is around $0.1 kWh, in this case your machines would consume 15.84*0.1=$1.58 of electricity

Final calculation: $1.58/$105'000=~1500 sat. If you daily buy sats instead of paying electricity bills you'd get more sats.

Here comes the question. Do you mine for fun, you have free electricity, or something else?

8 sats \ 1 reply \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 16h

It’s for fun. I don’t have free electricity. It also earns KYC-free sats

Happiness Journal 5/11/25

One student who has been giving me grief aplenty asked me in all sincerity, “So, cher, when we perspire and it disappears, right, it’s evaporate?”

He had only internalised the concept of evaporation recently. after his final-year exams, in fact. I could almost see his mental cogs churning.

I beamed brightly at him and said enthusiastically, “Yes!”

I feel like I have unlocked something in him.

Slogan for ChatGPT:

Enabling autism since 2022

33 sats \ 0 replies \ @adlai 22h

I think calling that "autism" is a bit of a stretch, that's just harmless idle curiosity (from the prompter) and nitpicking from ChatGPT (because it has no choice in the matter after getting prompted).

If someone pastes that output as their own words, isn't that more them giving an example of Poe's Law than them actually being autistic?
