What a effing retard that vitalik is, the only people getting scammed are people using his bloatware piece of shit… and other crap like binance shit! DeFi crap! NFT crap! Pancakes and Burgers…. I think we should shut that down to stop dumb people from getting a scammed!

I am fairly sure El Salvador passed a “Bitcoin Law” and not a crypto law. No one is being forced to use a certain “cryptocurrency”. They are being ask to accept a Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System called Bitcoin.

A little humor:

I don't know if this has already been posted here but it caught my eye and made me laugh.

Bitcoin breaks the game.  That threatens their systems.  NOT their riches.  The path to maintaining their wealth in a world in which Bitcoin becomes important is elementary for people who HEDGE for a living. Lol.

So they do not want their systems broken which have allowed them to profit on the backs of the rest of us.  

Molnupiravir works by incorporating itself into the genetic material of the virus, and then causing a huge number of mutations as the virus replicates, effectively killing it. In some lab tests, the drug has also shown the ability to integrate into the genetic material of mammalian cells, causing mutations as those cells replicate.

If that were to happen in the cells of a patient being treated with molnupiravir, it could theoretically lead to cancer or birth defects.

Dr. Shuntai Zhou, a scientist at the Swanstrom Lab at UNC, said "there is a concern that this will cause long-term mutation effects, even cancer."

    Zhou says that he is certain that the drug will integrate itself into the DNA of mammalian hosts. "Biochemistry won’t lie," he says. "This drug will be incorporated in the DNA."

Pfft left and right nowadays are just two sides of the same coin. They both want to limit individual freedom, one wants big government the other big corporations to govern us. At least one of the two is more democratic, depending on where you live.

So, interesting storytime earlier today.

Starting to enjoy this whole retirement deal with Rick, and we ended up in a bar before noon, somehow.

Sat down, ordered us some drinks, and struck up a generally friendly conversation with the bartender.

Anyway, Rick and I were talking back-and-forth, and Rick sorta stopped me after my sentence, in a hushed whisper (Dude is WAY WAY MORE sensitive of others than I am. I simply DGAF when out and about in meatspace), and said "Dude, you just said the C word?".

Confused? "Uhh, dude, I'm pretty sure I didn't say 'cunt' in the last 30 seconds", to which Rick responded, "No man, COVID".

I boisterously, and much to Rick's chagrin, retorted in a hyper-animated fashion "So what if I'm saying the word COVID out loud?", when - right on cue - bartender returns back into hearing range of our discussion, and responded to us with "Oh yeah. Don't worry about COVID-19. I'm vaxxed."

The fucking look Rick and I gave each other at that exact moment, was just so... <CHEFS-KISS>

Fucking hilarious.

Oh yeah, no masks, cuz Texas, so... I hate this goddamn planet.

EDIT: ... and here Rick and I were thinking to ourselves "Oh Jesus Fucking Christ... What sort of mRNA-derived mutant-strain-madness is this guy cooking in his upper nasal tract that is going to kill us all..."

Just clicked on "Explanation" and saw the first ChartBuddy image. 2015. Just look at the price.



HoDL, brothers, HoDL!

.... Europe is gonna be a scary place this winter if they can't sort this shit out

.... how's that hopey changey climate change renewable energy shit working out for ya idiots anyhow??

Meanwhile on the reverse indicator front, Jamie Dimon is at it again:

He's right up there with Proudhon, a sure sign this Q4 rally is really starting to build.

Why do you guys diss her?

I often wonder why wo will attack or defend various people.

I feel mostly she is attacked and not sure why you all do it.

In the UK we are already going to be forced to buy electric cars within the next 10 years (if you want a new car at least). I think that is quite a fast turn around. There is actually no concrete plan that I've seen to provide the UK with enough electricity for that. Households will almost double their electricity usage by charging an EV at home. Unless many more of us will all have solar panels (the only way I think this will be possible in the short term) this could be a big problem and make electricity rather expensive (which it is already becoming without mass EV adoption).

I can say from experience some green solutions have only been scams in the past and do not provide a smaller CO2 footprint, but in fact larger and just makes things worse for the planet and households. I have a solar panel for water heating which does fuck all in the UK. For electricity themselves they can be useful from what I gather as they don't require sunlight directly.

 There are 93 dialects of Mandarin so it might sound like "cua" in some of them but it's pronounced like the "t" in "touch"

 Also the two "bee" are pronounced differently.  The first bǐ uses the 3rd tone and the second bì uses the 4th tone.  If you don't use those tones, you likely wont be understood.  If you go to that link, click on the buttons under "syllable level playback" to hear the tones.
