The foxhole is back in business! 🦊

Three hundred and thirty-seventh week paid.

I thought you knew me better than that. For those who don't know me, I'm talking about this kind of magic wand:

Synchronizing with network... Estimated time left until synced: 12 hours



No, I only have the other kind of magic wand.

Update: Having gotten my new PC into a semi-usable state and successfully copied my ~800GB Bitcoin data directory to it, all that remains is for Bitcoin Core to finish "processing blocks on disk" which is estimated to take "unknown" additional time.

Fox news, everyone! Due to an unexpected hardware failure, this week's payment may be slightly delayed until I get my Bitcoin node up and running on my new PC. The regularly scheduled orgies will also have to be postponed until my orifices have recovered from the total clusterfuck that is getting dual-booting Linux to work with Windows 11's new strict Secure Boot requirements.

One hundred and twenty-third week paid.

Three hundred and thirty-sixth week paid.

One hundred and twenty-second week paid.

Congratulations, apogio. Remember, it's always 10 o'clock somewhere.

They also wouldn't tell customers to just throw away the contaminated products if that were the case; radioactive materials do not belong in household trash. The fact that nobody is concerned about spreading contamination further through improper waste disposal suggests that this is nothing more than the usual unscientific fear-mongering.

Three hundred and thirty-fifth week paid.

I'd be far more concerned if they weren't radioactive, given that the only way that can happen is if they're over 80 years old and stored in a sealed container to avoid fallout from nuclear weapons testing, which has contaminated literally everything on Earth since then. And that's not even counting naturally-occurring radioactive materials released into the environment by industrial processes such as mining. Given all the fear-mongering around low-level radiation, I can't even pretend to be concerned by this radioactive shrimp until I know how it compares to bananas.

68 becquerels per kilogram is only 4.5 bananas per kilogram - nothing to panic about and certainly not indicative of a major nuclear whoopsie.
