i know you like to buy fish and leave them on your kitchen table overnight to rot... but now your telling me that you buy fresh veg but dont even bother to wash/rinse them when you get home

even before the 'sanatiser' thing. dont you realise how many unclean hands touched the vegetables that day
ever wondered how many guys scratched their scrotum that morning and then went shopping for vegetables and were putting their hands on the veg to find the ones they wanted.
ever wondered how many shop workers that only get a 10minute break dont wash their hands after they pee because they dont have time to walk to toilet, pee, wash hands, walk back to the warehouse to then pick veg for the display
ever wonder how many polish field crop pickers are given proper tools or just told to pick the veg by hand from the fields
ever wonder about the fertiliser/pesticides put on the veg as it grows

are you that naive about personal hygiene

its like you are on a crusade to actually infect yourself with every bacteria/virus/fungus .

its like you want to make yourself sick and then try blaming it on government

sorry but your actions of avoiding common sense things of reducing your risk. just makes you look more stupid

im guessing your 'nomad' caravan lifestyle means you dont take a daily shower either..

maybe sort out your own hygiene routine first then you will realise how much of your own life choices are putting you more at risk
maybe then you will learn to atleast rinse your veg when you get home.
and stop blaming retailers for the reason you get stomach aches so often

..
here is some good advice. instead of crying about stuff.. sort out your personal hygiene.
wash the veg when you get home atleast

yep bitcoin was supposed to be the escape from the US dollar reserve...
and yet. around the world.what metric is it measured against. yep the us dollar

many years ago i said people should measure it against the price of bread loaf
EG if an american bread loaf is $2 and a UK bread loaf is £1.50
then todays price is ~10,000 breadloaves

this would then let poorer/developing countries to afford bitcoin better. because if their loaves are only ~40c they can buy bitcoin for just $4k.
yes this is actually a fair thing to do. because its actually still 10,000 bread loaf real life value. in all countries

as a side effect
this would then make americans want to buy bitcoin by selling dollar and buying another nations currency and then buy bitcoin. thus making the forex of dollar take a decline due to all the dollar sales.
thus actually make world forex more fair and more equal valued. rather then the crappy control the dollar has on other countries value.
yep if china converted all its assets to breadloaf value they would actually prove they have a better GDP than america. which makes sense 1billion people should have a better GDP than 320m

however people around the world are fixing their national bitcoin price to the dollar value.
in short a country with 40cent loaves end up having to spend 50,000 loaves of bread value. not 10,000 bread loaves. which is unfair

.. so yes the US dollar still controls bitcoin

I think this technology could be useful for family members as it allows all of them to have access to the keys. Otherwise leaving it with other entities can't be useful.

multisig is useful for contracts where only those who have value can control.
but when its then used where one party is some strange business/owner that lives thousands of mile away and you have never shaken their hand or know what they look like... then be wary
especially when the contract leans towards requiring their permission to your funds

you cant slap them with a wetfish or lawsuit if you dont know where they live

and this is the fatal flaw of LN's gameplan with their factories, watchtowers and shadowchains.
they dont want to be found, else they would have to register as money service businesses.
sometimes regulation aimed at watching custodians(even if weak observations/oversight) is better than no consumer protections

i think all businesses offering custodial/security/middlemen should be regulated under consumer protection guidelines

private contract amungst family/acquaintances vs publicly advertised service are two different things

the writing does not match
the personality does not match
heck even his coding skills does not match

yes adam back had a small piece of 'hashcash' that inspired satoshi.
but satoshi also grabbed inspiration from others too.

bitcoin is a puzzle of master craft bringing in different elements from different sources. and put together in a way those sources could never dream of doing.
this does not mean any of those elements made bitcoin.

much like the original person inventing the wheel centuries ago did not invent the new Tesla electric car.

as for personality. adam back is not that interested in 'banking for the unbanked'

Humping a stranger is wrong. Don't do it. Respect your whole self and the other person, not just some bodily activity.

then why for 9 months have you been crying about your lack of ability to invite your male escort to your bedroom to give you full body massages and other physicals services

..
also if the only action required to do if you do get some physical action is a lame apology.. then the 'don't do it' is not really a warning for your crowd
.. it explains why so many catholic/christian priests are seen as paedophiles. because they think they can do as they like as long as they 'repent' after.

you do realise the crowd of people in your cults are the worse kind of people. hiding behind scripts to get away with their nasty habits. they have no morals or ethics and just end up saying 'i done it cos some written thing i read said i could' .. no conscious thought or independent decision to not do certain things.

you are the kind of guy that would harm someone without a thought.

Nebuchadnezzar’s dream is of a great and costly statue, composed of different metals. The empires depicted are: head of gold = Babylonian empire; breast and arms of silver = Medo-Persian empire; belly and thighs of bronze = Grecian empire; and feet of iron and clay = Roman empire. Note that since world powers are really one, they are represented as one statue. All the empires of which Daniel spoke are the same empire. It is a single worldly kingdom passed on from present kings to future rulers. The point of the dream, however, is the setting up of God’s eternal kingdom. This is depicted in Nebuchadnezzar dream as a stone that crushes the kingdoms of men, leaving no traces of the kingdoms of men, as it overtakes the entire earth. Jesus, of course, is the rock not cut with human hands that destroys the kingdoms of this world (cf. Dan. 2:35, 44; Isa. 8:14; Ps. 118:22).

in your campfire stories. you say jesus destroyed kingdoms

nah he just fed a few poor people.
even your quote reveals that kingdoms still existed.
romans created the united kingdom after jesus's story ended.

i know you want to think of jesus as a superhero. but if you jumped off a roof. he would not fly in to save you.
he is just a medieval comic book. he is not real.

but i do find it funny how you are trying to subtly make any near future civil war be due to jesus.. im guessing you are subtly suggesting that trump is your jesus. and he will destroy modern governments.

maybe he will destroy modern governments. and maybe you idolise him as a god. .. but reality is he is not a god. and you are just deeply brainwashed into the cultish mindset of most religious people

you pretend to support lives.. but then twist it into 'profit and happiness'

i know your an idiot that doesnt care about this life because you think you can earn some fantasy life after death.
but just one reality check. this is the only life you have. dont waste it on fantasy.

you might be happy to die. but most normal people are not. and as for profit. you cant take it with you if you die so why concentrate on it now if you dont care about the life you have now.

maybe deep down you are suicidal and have a fantasy of game theory where if you dont succeed you just kill yourself and restart with a new life.
im starting to think that is your mentality.

but as for now supporting profit. why do you always argue about the main thing you hate in the medical industry, which is the profiteering.

are you atleast noticing how your hate of pharma profiteering clashes with your republican capitalism

if i had a fantasy life like you do i would actually prefer a situation where the pharma companies make stuff at cost for the public healthcare system. and win awards and trust to then profit in the private healthcare system.
that way those in true need of healthcare but without the funds. are not ripped off.
..
anyway back to the topic.
hospitals do not make excess profit from covid diagnosed deaths. and the vaccines are not being produced at excess profits.
doctors order tests and scans. and those costs of those are added up. but tests and scans are a scarce resource and there needs to be a clinical reason to do tests and scans. they dont just poke and prod patients and perform every test and scan in existance. they only use the resources that are needed
(EG you wont get a brain scan for a foot injury)

governments months ago already put cost restrictions in to ensure that the treatment, care and vaccinations for covid are not used as a profit game.

however your advertising useless supplements and treatments that dont treat covid is a profit game for pill mill clinics. and from the looks of it. you have been duped into supporting pharma profiteering without yourself making any financial gains from your adverts.

this makes you even worse than the bitcointalk forum spammers with scam adverts in their footer. becasue atleast they are making a few satoshi's out of it

^^^ How do you know that people don't spread wellness, in the same way they spread sickness? Science doesn't want to study such, because there isn't any money in it.

Cool
isnt money in spreading wellness?
churches profit from gatherings
protest placard salesmen profit from gatherings

heck christmas, easter, new years, valentines, fathers day mothers day, thanksgiving are all profitable events

..
but now it brings up the real question. something you have flip flopped
your against business making profit in some of your posts.. so are you actually anti-capitalist?

i ask this because for 9 months you have been arguing to risk lives so that businesses can run and make money..
but then you flip and start arguing when businesses make money.

so can you make a decision. which means more to you lives or profits

simply reply with either lives or profits.

Question for the 'medical ethisists' (such as fake-Dr. oileo and franky1-n-beans):  Is it OK to break the 6 foot social distancing rule to catch someone who passes out 17 minutes after their jab?

grabbing someone because they fall. with a mask on. is less risky then dry humping a stranger at a gay bar without any protection.

so if you want to use this example of someone catching someone as they faint. as your excuse to now go around without a mask and lick random peoples faces while heavily panting on them.. then you still not learned any lessons

..
the difference is will your action reduce the risk of accident/injury/harm.. or increase the risk of accident/injury/harm

so if you see someone about to jump off a building. its ok to grab them and stop them
if you see a stranger at a bar who seems to not be harming themselves. dont grab them and dry hump them

if you cannot calculates the risks. then just stay back

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/california-coronavirus-cases.html

Southern California reportedly has just hit 0% ICU bed availability. COVID cases are skyrocketing in California, and remember - they had the most stringent lockdown regulations across the country akin to places like NYC.

So why are cases surging? Turns out, this thing spreads regardless of what you do, and unnecessary regulations on small businesses do absolutely nothing. You have some businesses and industries closed AND a surge in cases. You destroy jobs and the local economy, and get to enjoy hundreds of deaths per day, with hospitals swamped.

turns out regulations are for people. because the virus has not legs or arms or eyes or a brain.its people that spread the virus and people that end up in hospital

turns out the virus doesnt spread no matter what.... it actually spreads due to what people do

so when there are rules for people. but those people ignore/disobey the rules.. then those people get affected

many people stupidly think regulations/rules apply directly to the virus and not the people. stupid people think ok its a strict lockdown so while i continue to mingle the virus will decide not to move..

sorry thats not how it works. people need to stop mingling.

so when california see too many people... ill repeat PEOPLE mingling in bars/pubs/clubs then those businesses need to close.

here is the thing. if PEOPLE were more smart to actually respect personal spaces. they would not spread the virus. and there wouldnt be a 'super spreader' event in bars and clubs. meaning that bars and clubs could remain open.

yep if people actually followed the ADVICE. then it would not then be extended into enforced laws.

so if you dont want to spread the virus. dont disrespect personal space

remember hospitals see PEOPLE on hospital beds. so ask how did those PEOPLE get the virus.
its not a situation with little breadcrumb sized beds having nano sized viruses where hospitals treat the virus.
hospitals treat PEOPLE that have the virus because those PEOPLE came into contact with other PEOPLE

..
i understand your mental methodology where you would prefer bars/restaurants to do a age check and disallow access to people over 50, rather than a mask check.
but if lots of people under 50 mingle. and then go home and breathe around their older relatives. the result is the same.
so they need to even stop the under 50's from getting it, even though most wont get sick. they still pass it onto others who will spread it.
..
when it gets to a point where there is no more hospital capacity. they need to seriously stop all spread as much as possible. because it seems people just cant take the advice before it got to such a problem..

like you Gyfts. even knowing there is no capacity left. you still want to mingle in bars and restaurants.. which just shows you are ignorning the advice not to mingle with strangers in public indoor spaces

We may not have a single point of failure but it's also nearly impossible for us to weed out a bug or vulnerability (or nuisances like below) from all decentralized nodes.

the devs making bitcoin in the single github that everyone copies is the single point of failure

this has been proven in 2015-17 where a certain dev group disavowed access to other implementations. and forced a change to the blockchain on august 2017 using a mandatory activation

also by tweaking the blockchain and thus the code that miners use. they can then force people to upgrade to match the new codebase just to re-gain access to node connections and block/transaction data relay.

once you realise bitcoins "decentralisation" promise is not the same architecture from pre 2015 as it is post 2015
 you wil realise the comparisons of "decentralisation"  vs google does not apply

im a bitcoin hoarder for 8 years and will remain so. but i prefer to see the flaws and understand the limitations and be very transparent about it.

bitcoins decentralisation is not as you may believe.
bitcoins bottlenecks/points off failure are not as it seems

remember bitcoin can only handle a quota of ~2500tx /10min average.
google handles millions a minute.
bitcoin has had many times where no new confirmed transactions occured for more than 45 minutes
today block 661717->661718  57min gap

9713  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the co-vid19 vaccine ? on: December 17, 2020, 07:31:03 PM
Ahh damn! The real reason is because every single doctor/nurse/pharmacist/scientist/engineer/lab technician/researcher in the world is a gullible moron compared to the awesome intellect of a conspiracy blogger. I didn't have that one on my bingo card.

Not stupid people.  Just years and years of training to accept information in one form from one class of sources (e.g., the WHO or CDC) and regurgitate it verbatim.

In school if these people failed this mindless info pipeline conditioning, the flunk out.  In life if they fail they flush their years in school down the toilet and find a new line of work.  The system is so tight that only a tiny minority who don't perform 'correctly' slip through the cracks to challenge the system from the inside.

Thankfully there are people in this 'fail' category though or we would know much less about the mechanics of the covid-19 hoax.  Unsurprisingly they tend to be eminent people who speak out most loudly because they are more immune from attack by 'the establishment' and in a lot of cases are near or beyond retirement anyway.  There are plenty of others who are doing work more quietly behind the scenes, and their efforts are making a difference as well.

tvbcof pretends to be an expert of covid. but his expertise is in avoiding/ignoring actually talking to families of sick people and people that had a relative that died

tvbcofs ignorance and avoidance then makes him think that it doesnt happen simply by him avoiding finding out.
this does not make tvbcof an expert in covid. it makes him an expert in ignorance.

its like he never plays golf. so then deems that golf is fake because he has never experienced it himself. he would also avoid watching or talking to others that had played golf just to solidify his stupid belief that golf is fake.

tvbcof. your expertise in ignorance does not make you look like a person that someone should rely on for information. it makes you a person that people should look at and then laugh and realise that your just a conspiracy paranoid idiot that is on some 'stupid list' where by your email is probably spammed with stupid stuff that make you more paranoid.

yes i bet your emails get filled with pillmill clinic emails trying to sell you wacky products. and this is why you think that doctors are just after your money. because thats all you see in your emails and google adverts personalised to you based on your searches.

wake up and realise your stupid conspiracy searches are the cause of scammy people paying attention to you.
realise there a millions and billions of not so scammy people. but the reason your getting so much attention from scammy people is due to your stupidity
need proof if you are stupid?
if you have ever been tempted to buy the crap advertised in badeckers footnote. then your stupid

and they can only use old outdated crappy scripts of old unrelated stuff
Their only "sources" are conspiracy blogs and YouTube videos from conspiracy bloggers. Funny that. Not a single piece of actual evidence. Not a single study, or trial, or case series, or meta-analysis, or systematic review, or literally anything. I wonder why that is? No doubt it's because every single doctor/nurse/pharmacist/scientist/engineer/lab technician/researcher in the world are all microchipped by BIG PHARMA or secretly lizards or something.

here is the funny part
government dont have enough employees to monitor all citizens.
if a microchip the size of a breadcrumb could monitor everything. then planes would not disapear off radars
so here is a question for the paranoid idiots

governments dont need to make a microchip and try to make it small enough to put into a vaccine. all they need to do is make conspiracy sites and see which idiots find their fake news and repeat it. then put those idiots on a idiot list

as for badeckers endless rand about 'embryo has same dna as baby.
sorry but no it doesnt

as cells divide and become different body parts. the dna becomes more detailed. its like a basecode at embryo that then self writes into complex code.

an adult has different dna than it has at embryo.
yep. its why cloning is complex. because you cant just put an adults dna into an empty stem cell/egg
you need to find the base code of the adults complex dna.

want to know the real funny part
while tvbcof and tash are talking about old vaccines
while tash shows a video of a 88yo guy being questioned about vaccines available in the 1940's
for instance the guy was a kid in the 40's and polio vaccine was not even introduced until the 50's so obviously he would not have had polio vaccine as a kid
same goes for the measles vaccine.. that was in 1968
the MMR was in 1988
so asking a guy that was a kid in the 1940's if he had a vaccine that had not even been invented yet. becomes obsolete question
its like asking did you get a passport and fly on a passenger plane to someone living in the 18th century. the answer obviously no.. but makes no sense to use that question to then say passenger planes in 21st century are dangerous.

they are very ignorant of the vaccines available today.

there is big reasons why the pfizer vaccine for instance needs to be frozen at -70o
and a point i keep making but they remain ignorant about
the pfizer vaccine doesnt have all the preservatives and biological and chemical things that used to be in vaccines decades ago.

i find it highly surprising they even understand bitcoin concepts of technology if they want to remain in the realm of old tech/history pre millenium.

its like they want to say fear space travel because 100 years ago man couldnt even fly off the ground
they dont even realise the developments over the last few decades

So..

Knife companies are responsible for people getting stabbed?
Computer hardware companies, ISPs, and other computer/internet-related companies are responsible for people getting scammed online?
Chocolate companies are responsible for people getting diabetes?

this is where knife manufacturers and chocolate companies are very careful about how/where they promote their platform/product.

EG knife companies dont advertise themselves as 'wife stabbers'
chocolate companies dont advertise their products as 'the only main meal kids need'

when a platform is advertising itself as a place to get illicit drugs. they cannot plead ignorant to what goes on after sales occur.

yep if a chocolate company said. stop eating balanced diet and only eat our stuff.. then yes chocolate companies get in trouble. if they lie about the content of their products.(like cigarette companies did) they get in trouble

^^^ You show your ignorance, yet, again. Where did the money and the labor come from to build the courthouse? The people, of course. The government doesn't do anything without the people.

Karl Lentz doesn't accept invitations into government court. If he winds up in one, he immediately turns it into his court. The people of the court are on his turf this way.

All your blab makes sense if that's the way you want to do it. But it doesn't make sense for people who do things differently.

where does the money come from to build any business. the customers/members. but that does not then mean the members then get to do as they please and make up the rules.
as members of a gym they pay a gym membership(tax) because thats the memberships rules. but the gym still then makes rules for the member not by the members.

he cannot walk into a court and turn it into his turf. not unless he buys the court building from the government.

lets use your flip flop hypocrisy against you..
remember your whole 'tresspass' mantra of thinking its your right to shoot someone in your home.. right??. but in your flip flop of someone tresspassing in your house.  you cannot then shoot them because in your own weird world that man has turned your home into his own. and has set set rules to rape your wife and make your kids his own. and you cant do anything about it.

meaning there is no point in your small insane world of owning a gun because you cant protect your property because in your world anyone coming into the house makes the house theirs. and so you have nothing to defend.. right

even if you go to court wth your own separate claim against the opposition that initially put a claim against you.
