Elon Musk decided it would be a good idea to do a live fire test on the Cybertruck, so he emptied a drum from a Tommy gun into the side of it as a test supposedly if tweets are to be believed. He also confirmed that not a single bullet made it into the cabin. Then what did they do? They drove the Cybertruck around town to show it off.



So you are gonna be driving this weird looking thing around, daring folks to take a tommy gun to it? Hey, whatever floats your boat man....

My band just rehearsed my new new song "Full Musk"... Its sounding good... not sure about the Cybertruck though, LOL

Yeah, I used to be a huge Musk fanboy back in the day. Almost pulled the trigger on a Model 3.
So glad I came to my senses.

No, it wasn't me who lost coins. I think a recent situation like this happened to either OutOfMemory or sirazimuth, IIRC. It can happen to anyone, and, let's face it, Bitcoin has radically changed the way we handle and protect our cash (of the digital variety, a.k.a. BTC). Even those of us who are very computer-literate can end up in situations like this, and you're right in that I've made several posts in the past emphasizing that fact.

.......

To  be clear, yes, I lost about half a bitcoin, about $200 in value at the time, (or something like that, I cant remember, 9 years ago) but it had nothing to do with being hacked.
I have never lost a single satoshi from a hack.
<redacted>
 Nuff said.

Yeah, i lost a ledger, but easily restored the keys using a new one.
And my first transaction was hijacked by malware. 0,1 BTC, early 2017.

Oh,  a Ledger eh?.. That's another naughty word on this here famous thread, but hey, at least it doesn't start with the letter "c", so there is that.


Sunday OT:

One day (during the latest partial solar eclipse) I suddenly realized that the fact that Moon exactly blots out the sun is somewhat weird and is highly unlikely.
We just happen to live at the time when angular diameter of both the moon and the Sun are virtually identical.
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/life-unbounded/the-solar-eclipse-coincidence/
Although it is exactly what is happening, the event itself has microscopic probability from all possible arrangements between the size of the planet satellites, the star, distances, etc, etc.
That made me think about other "unique" features of the realm about "right now":

1. First off, all universe parameters had to be just right to make stable atoms, galaxies, etc-that's a given. Our Universe is just one out of roughly 10^500 chances. Good enough!
2. The 'strange' triple alpha process that forms carbon in the stars (Hoyle state).  
3. Sun had to be formed after heavy elements already accumulated...almost 8 bil years after the Big bang...basically, we are 'late".
4. Humans appear on earth 4.7 bil years after the planet was born and the planet has a maximum of another 1 bil years to go before the biosphere is bound to be destroyed by the expanding Sun that would be transitioning to a red giant. So, we appeared within the last 20% of the planet's life.."late" again.
5. The Moon is larger that the satellite of the earth size planet should be theoretically with astronomers proposing (and basically proving) that the Moon was formed by the collision of the "initial" earth with a body the size of mars, roughly.
6. That collision probably evaporated the original water on the planet and resulted in Earth being drier that it would have been otherwise, with most water being brought by comets and asteroids.
7. It is entirely possible that the core rotation and magnetic field plus tectonic plates movement was also caused by that collision, which ought to be a very rare event.
8. We are here during the time when we can still see galaxies. Some time later...in fact, much later, other galaxies will be invisible to us.
9. We live at the age when computing became widespread. Being born a hundred years early and we would have missed it.
10. Being born as "you"-that's a biggie. Each human mating pair is capable of generating at least several dozen trillions genetic combinations, but here you are. Chances of winning a lottery are at least 100 thou times larger than that. Add to that your unique personal history that added to you being you.
11. We live during the age of bitcoin "discovery", so we could participate early, which is almost like having a golden ticket and/or winning a lottery (again).

TL;DR Sometimes I wonder about all this 'selection' mechanisms that resulted in "now", but then, it all depends on the number of "rolls".

Don't be silly!
The Earth is 10,000 years old.
We are decedents of Adam and Eve and Noah saved all the animals from a flood on his big arc.
It says so in the bible so it must be true.

And on a more serious note, and almost as unbelievable...
People actually believe that shit...

Does the average American citizen actually believe there is a deep state within their country ….

……what about the normal person in USA, do they even think about it?

No and no.

I only hear about it when I come here for a laugh and read posts from nutjobs like BADecker.

The dominoes have started to fall. She saw the writing on the wall and
avoided jail time. Let’s see if/when the remaining 17 do the same.
And it will be televised… pass the popcorn.
Hey Bud, will you be tuning in to see your corrupt criminal hero and his
band of toadies face the music? Maybe you could throw a prayer their way
and reach out to your imaginary friend to help them out.
That ought to work eh?

……  I don't know, but I don't care how outrageous BADecker's (or anyone else's) conspiracy theories are; they should be debunked instead of censored.
…..

Agreed, albeit, after awhile, debunking the plethora of BADecker nonsense on this forum over the years is like beating a dead horse.
The plus side being I get a good laugh from his lunacy, when I actually, for whatever reason, click on one of his ridiculous threads.

Price pumps, then price dumps...
Cramer bearish, Hayes bullish...
Business as usual.

ETF approved...
ETF still not approved...
Well, fuck you, Gensler!

Who is that fat clown,
In ChartBuddy's hourly posts?
Is that Karpelès?

PlanB's new chart toy,
Looks cute on my monitor.
Will this one come true?

Chicken Ejector.
India's secret weapon.
Biopropulsion!

How can one resist,
Jacking off to Taylor Swift?
Bunny's got good taste.

Careful there, Philip!
I've seen WOers do wonders,
With grainier clips.

#7wodigestsundayhaikus

Not too shabby.
... Hmmm , I wonder if the bunnyman gonna merit that post? (Taylor probably won't)
