A very disturbing thing I discovered is that the dude who patented the content suggestion algo for the likes of YouTube spends his time raping kids, and uses the royalties to pay off the victims. The same guy founded Tether, and appears to be working to subvert the original spirit and intent of Bitcoin and crypto. Is an asshole like that active here? How deep does this rabbit hole go?

This week I'm glad I'm not going into space as a test monkey in a trans polar orbit. We have a monster sunspot with magnetic complexity rotating in, and if it launches a sizeable X-class flare, then the solar protons will be funneled in through the poles via earth's magnetic field. The radiation could easily kill the crew in a situation like that.

I just had an idea, and maybe it's already in development... What about a connector for gaming to the LN so that when you gain or lose points in the game, you gain and lose sats. Anyone can be a professional gamer.

GM Earth magnetic coupling with the sun's magnetic field over the weekend resulted in this beautiful end on view of a Birkland current over the UK last night.
