What's a word you have always wanted to learn to spell?

Here's an example by my Vice-Principal:

narcissistic

When I first heard this word, I was attending a military academy in the United States. Coupled with the rigorous discipline, the junior classmen there had to serve their seniors. I thought that "narcissistic" described the upperclassmen perfectly. So, I was keen to learn the spelling of this word.

At this point, the US gov will not have any bitcoin left to Trump to send it as a Special Reserve.

#Ph-SN024 "flying over everyone" 🦅🍊

A few days ago I was walking through a tourist area in the area where I live, and there is a jump point for this type of sport, it is very common to walk along the boardwalk and see these athletes flying close to people, and obviously over all of them, and lately my bitcoiner brain 🧠 🍊 can't stop thinking about BITCOIN.

I try to make sense of my whole life scheme through Bitcoin, so my day to day is spent thinking about how to accumulate more SATS and relate everything directly or indirectly to bitcoin looking to see if such aspect is in favor or contrary to the philosophy of Bitcoin.

Looking at these guys in the air I thought, this is how older bitcoiners or those who already have a reasonable amount of their assets in Bitcoin feel, even newbies like me, sometimes we feel like this, flying on a different and higher frequency than the frequency of those people who don't understand, or who don't find out about bitcoin, that is, non-coiners.

Thanks for reading, I continue my daily challenge until I reach 100, 1000 💪🤠⚡🍊

Does anyone know how the United States government decides who US companies can sell military hardware to?

I assumed they dont want the weapons to get into the hands of aggresive nations. But that does not seem to be the case.

I guess I was able to accomplish what @DarthCoin could not. I got @BlokchainB to stop giving away sats by being the first to redeem them for the last week.

it's wasn't a script, it was me.

I wrote a script for fun but then I realized that @BlokchainB is a routine person. From looking at their feed, I figured out that they usually post the token around the same time everyday. So i just set a reminder for myself to go and check if it was posted/collected yet. Hope i didn't rain on your parade by taking them before @fed could lol.

I donated the amount collected to the daily rewards. After all, it's was just for fun. https://m.stacker.news/45798

Props to you, humans love routines indeed. I was sure you were a script/bot. 😅

So I won't be doing that funny business (changing a letter or two) to prevent automated redemption.

0 sats \ 7 replies \ @dontforgetthekeys 14 Aug

I thought about how I would get around your additions in script form. I could strip anything that wasn't alphanumeric but once you added (instructions), it would have turned into a cat and mouse game of making the script more and more complex. I thought this would be a fun one to use AI on but the sats didn't outweigh the means.

How script handles images as of today? 🙃

100 sats \ 2 replies \ @dontforgetthekeys 14 Aug

I figured it out! to make it less usable by others, I'm going to leave out some stuff...

    img = Image.open(image_path).convert('RGB')  #convert image to RGB
    
    #decode the QR
    decoded_objects = decode(img)
    
    #filter decoded objects to find the one that starts with 'cashu'
    for obj in decoded_objects:
        qr_data = obj.data.decode('utf-8')
        if qr_data.startswith('cashu'):
            return qr_data
    return None

Lawful Rebellion

Referring to a “Lawful” Rebellion would suggest the right to this action, where the word “rebellion” is being used to oppose an unfounded authority or an illegitimate claim of dominance upon you, resulting in a direct threat being made against you without a prior agreement.

Meaning if a group, corporation or government where to make unfounded claims of authority, then you would have the “lawful” right to rebel and defend yourself.

This could work if the individual chose to use their own law, but many make the mistake of referencing the “law” from others, resulting in the loss of their sovereignty.

The most common mistake would be quoting the Magna Carta, which was a contract signed by a king and a group of barons.

The person trying to use this ancient contract today is not only operating in the wrong jurisdiction, but quoting a document that does not bear their signature.

Note: You cannot and do not get your rights from another’s contract, furthermore there is no document that can ever save you from tyranny.
