Gm. It’s Ross Ulbricht day.

The culture in the UK is so foreign to this Texan. Child rape in Ancient Greece has an (gross) ethos behind it, and it wasn’t shunned or secretive. But in the UK the people who revere child rape are secretive about their motivations. I’d love to learn more…

Merry Christmas from a load of Cole’s.

BIG if true.

Because I know everyone here are huge college football fans, I want to confirm that both SMU and Texas are in the college football playoff.

Elizabeth Warren (aka Pocohantas) has been running a protection racket for big banks in return for politically motivated hit jobs on individuals and businesses which she and the Biden administration disapprove. She kills their competition, they kill her political opponents.

Since at least 4chan, every uncensored public forum sheds leftist arguments within a year, or when the forum grows past low 100’s of thousands of users. Without severe moderation, socialist ideas collapse under the slightest scrutiny and retreat to heavily censored spaces.

The texts from non-bitcoiner friends are accelerating…

Prior to Starlink, in 2016/17 I built this in the middle of nowhere Wyoming. Took me about 5 months to figure out. A cheap solar panel, a couple car batteries in a tool box, and microwave about 200 yds to receivers in n the house. Tried fiber lines etc…and always had power issues. Linked up to a cell tower about 19 miles away, and got ~15 mbps down. Never any downtime in 5 years. Then Starlink showed up and I plugged it in, kinda sorta pointed a dish up, and had 140 mbps down in like 3 minutes. Still amazed several years later.

Not engaging, or caring, about politics locally or otherwise is not stoic. It’s NPCism. It doesn’t take billions to be a live action player.

Casually marketing ketamine IV’s (not to mention ayahuasca) to the general public is insane.

Highly recommend.

I seriously suggest people stop Doordashing and Uber eating if you live in a reasonably safe area. Inviting the (in many cases) barely not homeless to case your neighborhood and house is a bad trade off.

The anatomy of how we get lower rates, AKA what goes on in Jackson Hole.

I have the utmost respect for the team behind Mutiny, and know this is a gut wrenching decision. Mutiny has been an extremely ambitious, weird, and inventive product. I have no doubt we'll see hugely successful wallets in the future filled with the DNA left behind by the Mutiny team. A great legacy. View quoted note →
