LOL. I’m guessing you haven’t actually used Lightning recently… I’m seeing plenty of people complaining about channel costs and failed transactions. You’re better off using a shitcoin.

The beauty of this terribly managed fee market is that nobody can afford to move BTC to exchanges, so the weekend should be pretty quiet.

End of an era… Amazing the things time can change.

Let’s go Kings!

Deliveries have resumed and they have alerted current owners that they can come into a service center and have their accelerator fixed.  It looks like they did go with the simple option of securing the pedal with a screw of sorts instead of depending on glue.  Hopefully this oversight was due to the pedal cover being a cosmetic item and not indicative of other design choices on the truck.  In my opinion as someone who doesn't own one and has only seen videos...  I think they should do something about the lip in front of the headlights that can gather snow as well as the rear camera not having an automatic washer.  I have already seen aftermarket solutions for the rear camera washer.

Happy Halving Day!  Even though I told everyone else not to do more than 100 push-ups per day, I did 200 today for the halving.  It surprisingly wasn't any more difficult than doing 100 in a day.  I just had to remember to do them more often, which isn't a problem when you're checking blocks throughout the day.  Looks like the price will be around $64,000, which I find a bit surprising.  I thought for sure the market would want to see a $69K Bitcoin price on 4/20, but I guess there's still time to make that happen.

Are you implying that you fart with more power than you sneeze? I guess I’m a powerful sneezer… That seems unusual to me.

First 100 push-ups for the day completed with a set of 50! Got some things to do and then I’ll get started on the second hundred for the day. Will report once that has been completed. Happy halving day!

Also looks like it’s finally warm enough to swim out here in the desert, but I think I’ll save the swimming for a day when I’m not doing 200 push-ups and heavily partying so I don’t cramp up and drown. 

I couldn’t even get a response from the moderator in the section my last post was deleted from when I messaged them about it asking why. I guess if judgement is going to be passed on a shitpost, an explanation is probably necessary. Otherwise it seems like this forum is fine with people spreading lies about others, abusing the trust network, or pulling scams, but don’t make a post a moderator might not like… Doesn’t matter if it’s the truth or not.

True story. A friend who I talk to pretty regularly and have been trying to get into Bitcoin for 10 years now called me last night to ask me about the halving. He wanted to know if I was going to sell all my Bitcoin before the halving so I didn’t lose half of them. I thought he was kidding at first but no, he said he read all about it on Twitter…

I didn’t watch the weigh in but Devin Haney tweeted that Ryan Garcia didn’t make weight… I guess he missed it by 3 pounds! That’s insane. Ryan hasn’t taken anything about this fight from the beginning. Now it looks like it might not even happen. Bummer. I needed Ryan to lose as the last leg in a long parlay…

I think people were worried that Israel would disrupt Iran’s nuclear facilities causing the war to escalate. Iran came out and said that no such thing happened, so it is possible this may be the end of things for now or at least we likely won’t see a nuclear response. I believe that is when the price rebounded.

A pretty cool item and a unique piece of Bitcoin history. Must be exciting even to be the auction house chosen to auction it. With 5 days still to go and a price over half a Bitcoin already, it looks to be a successful endeavor already. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Mine get deleted from time to time. Rarely a reason given. It’s just the way it is. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. You either did something wrong or stumbled onto something you shouldn’t have. A funny statistic might be the most censored users. The people who have had the most posts deleted by moderators. 

Don’t sleep on getting a good night of rest either (see what I did there). I can notice a pretty big difference between getting 4 hours of sleep and waking up to do push-ups vs getting 7 hours of sleep and eating a good breakfast before working out. If you’re struggling with push-ups, give yourself every advantage. Sleep, food, stretching… Makes a difference.

I think Domantas Sabonis showed over the last two years that he’s an elite player. I wouldn’t have complained if he were on the team. I think Paul George also deserved a spot. After the injury he suffered while playing for the Olympic team, he really should have a lifetime offer to be on this team. Zion would be a nice addition too but I think he’s too young and doesn’t have his priorities right yet.

AI might have a way to go still on interpreting sporting events. Grok had a funny take on the recent Warriors vs Kings game. When asking it for a recap it created this article. Funniest AI story I’ve seen yet. So many people were criticizing Klay Thompson’s performance that AI legitimately thought he was vandalizing Sacramento with bricks. Lol

If you’re going to make such a controversial statement, you should at least provide some evidence. I’d start with who her previous relationship was with and when she hooked up with The Big Guy. I’m sure there are people who probably don’t know what a slime ball Joe Biden is or what he did with Jill Biden.

I love this confidence from Anthony Edwards and I agree with him. He’s 100% the best young talent in the NBA right now and if he can keep his head on straight and continue trying to get better, I don’t see how anyone could be better.

"I'll be the best player in the NBA in about two to three years."

I'm seeing a lot of people on social media criticize this lifetime ban and talk about how much more severe the punishment is then what other players have received for more serious crimes.  While this is true, I think that one thing should be remembered for those that want to make this argument...  Jontay Porter didn't do something outside of basketball like assault a woman or get caught with drugs.  These are the typical things we're used to seeing players get suspended over.  From a basketball perspective though, Jontay tried to cheat the game.  On the court amongst basketball players, this is the worst crime imaginable.  You don't cheat the game.  He's being made an example of also because he's not a major player.  If it were someone with a bigger name, then he probably would've gotten a private suspension and spent a couple years playing baseball while he waits to get back in the league...

Careful.  That statement is close to letting you find out what actual censorship is...
