It did kindle. Major companies started accepting it. Then the blocksize wars happened, and the 1mb forever people won through massive censorship and deceit. Then companies stopped accepting it directly as a result of the problems a 1mb limit causes. Now it might never happen again for BTC. The war and the signs leading up to it though spawned other cryptocurrencies, so those might succeed where Bitcoin has failed. We’re still suffering from the damage caused though as companies that stopped accepting it are now skeptical of accepting anything else again.

Edit: This is steams post on the matter - https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1464096684955433613

1mb limit -> transaction backlog grows -> higher fees to get in next block -> transactions get delayed from fee volatility and having used the wrong fee which moments ago was the right fee -> now the heavily delayed transaction is the wrong amount due to price volatility and steam and the customer are fucked.

It kindled, and was in turn murdered as it had been intended to be used.

People who got vaccines sometimes got autism. People without vaccines sometimes get autism.

RFK: We can conclusively say that vaccines cause autism since people who’ve had vaccines have developed autism!

Right, but they can’t just do it without reason which he was implying, and he replied to me with

“Yea but that wasn’t the point of me pointing it out. The point was that they don’t need to resort to such measures in order to clandestinely acquire your unlocked phone.”

In this case he was on parole where they have the right to search him. That mention of blood draw etc, you’re already under arrest and they can search your person anyway.

I’m not aware of any law where a cop can walk up to you on the street and demand they unlock your phone with biometrics and search it without cause.

Credit card fees can actually get quite large as well, they’re just hidden from the consumer, and we all pay a higher price because of it.

E.g stripe is 2.9% + $0.30

Even BTC with its current high (not peak high fees) fees is cheaper than CC’s when you start getting into a few hundred dollars purchase.

They need a warrant or probable cause for that, but yes they can compel it unlike a password. It’s still a search and needs to be lawfully done in the first place.

So that article is terrible. Written by someone who obviously hates crypto without understanding it. Also that guy charged with murder, never happened, murder charges were dropped as it was likely a setup to frame him and done by the cops who got him, and those same cops stole some of the bitcoin from the arrest and pleaded guilty. That dude does not deserve the life sentence he got. I don’t know if a pardon is right, but a commuted sentence, possibly time served, is wholly appropriate for this guy.

Edit: further, there are other developers currently arrested also facing prison for writing open source immutable smart contracts that provide privacy because they were considered the owners, but an appeal judge finally understood that no one owns an immutable smart contract on a blockchain since it can’t be altered once uploaded, and they won that appeal, but the case is still ongoing. There’s a lot of travesty when it comes to the government punishing or over punishing crypto developers.

What tool are we going to use to measure the bias of the bias meter of the bias meter?

I don’t know if the number was real but someone posted a picture that their denial rate was 32% whereas the lowest provider was 9%

Today we mourn @el_abuelo as he was not able to get proper treatment. UHC had denied his claim for prayers, but it took months to even get that, and by the time they were ready to make a judgement on thoughts, he had passed away.

Damn how strong is the weed in Texas if it’s life threatening?

The couch lock is so strong you die of starvation.

Wow, that’s close. Ultimately, its unlikely that 20 ballots would sway a 14 vote difference as if I did this right, they’d need 17 of the 20 to win, but that’s too close to people being completely disenfranchised.

They shut it down due to boring tunnel management at the end of the cybertruck line.

Probably doing the last bit before it’s ready to use on the factory side

They have a tunnel in the factory going under the highway to the holding/prep lot.

CEOs of these companies will say things along the lines of find a way to deny an extra X% of claims this year, our profits are down!

Edit: and I wouldn’t be surprised if they said something like or find a reason to deny that will get overturned if looked at further but maybe they won’t fight back hard enough.

Ya, my first thought seeing that was if it was the US they might have gotten shot doing that. Both sides handled that well.

We’re going to need a leopard breeding program so there’s more food competition so they can stay lean and healthy.

When you fling a tonne of shit at the wall, somethings bound to stick.

The problem isn’t vaping, but what you’re vaping and with what.

Cheap vapes you might get contaminants from the vape itself which are unhealthy. They get very hot, and quality control on these things is abysmal.

The second problem is the actual liquid. What goes into these with all the flavor crap isn’t regulated well and sometimes chemicals are being added that are harmful to us and cause problems, sometimes faster and worse than smoking cigarettes would have.

Now, if you have a good vape, and a proper vape liquid (probably neutral, no additives), it will be safer than regular cigarettes.

Alternatively you can bring up the time he filibustered his own bill that the democrats supported.
