I just googled it. A single patty big mac exists. They just named it the mac jr. instead of the small mac. Disappointed by this new information, I am off to bed. GN WO

Ah, but a Small Mac would be just like a Big Mac, just smaller.

I think "Small Mac" is a cute name but bad marketing.  I think you could call it just the "Mac".

Although I can't STAND what McD's tries to pass off for "food".  Almost any fast food is better.  Including BK (also nasty).  Actually, if you are ever in Texas, you might try "Whataburger" which I think is one of the better garbage food joints.

This professional pic looks a *little* nicer than the real thing... but this is basically it:


I quite like McDonald's if I'm being honest.
Over here they are releasing a Chicken Big Mac tomorrow I believe that will be on their menu for a few weeks.

I will try it.
Recently I tried the McPlant and I understand what they are trying to do. It's about ok I would say.

But sure, McDonald's is probably not the best of foods even within the fast food space. At least it's cheap though.
Sometimes I don't feel too good after eating McDonalds the evening before.

I've actually never liked Burger King. Over the years I noticed their hygiene just is never as good as McDonalds.
I think KFC can be even worse and probably the only ones I would call nasty. I guess because if you don't cook Chicken well it is more apparent than beef.

I think Five Guys has far, far better tasting burgers than almost all of the other outlets here if I'm being more objective.
An all the way without mushrooms for me.
But Five Guys' fries do suck I would say. I usually don't bother with them as a big burger all the way from them is more than enough for me. Something stupid like 800-900 calories I believe.

 Oh yeah!  5 Guys all the way!  Prices are steep but I don't think you can get a better burger in 10 minutes.

I feel like we glossed over the whole small mac idea and I am not comfortable with that.

 I know, right?  Nobody brought up the concept of a single patty minus the middle bun version.  We have to flesh this out.


I read that at the exact instant in perfect sync with this vid I was listening to at the time!

https://youtu.be/2bkD2w3n4-8?t=791

This brings to mind my middle-bun theory on the vicarious nature of transitory thoughts. (discussion of which would require a new thread of course)

On a serious note, I can't recall using the phrase "flesh this out" previously.

I just sold a chunk, for reasons.
So now, of course, the price is bound to go up, mark my words.

 You went to Burger King, didn't you!

That my friend, is the way to keep it. Never let your normie friends know how rich you are Wink
This is exactly the reason why I lost my friends.

Now my friends are my family.

and



 This tweet makes no sense; the Russo-Ukranian war began nearly 8 years ago and is still ongoing.  Also, exactly what problem would we be part of?
Considering that we hodlers are gleefully protecting our assets from that very thing - control of our money by a central authority while speculating on the demise of the current system for any and every reason - I guess we're all guilty as charged by C∅bra.  I'm not about to swap my bitcoin for dollars just in case some other banking cartels pile a few more sanctions on Russia and my wealth is preserved so colour me horrible I suppose.  I actively implore others to buy bitcoin today as well.  Be horrible! Buy Bitcoin!  Somberly if possible, gleefully if you must - just don't tweet about it; it's best kept a secret.


I disagree.
Cobra is very specific here and does not generally address hodlers.
If you don't get excited about Russia (i mean 99% people like me and you) getting excluded from a pseudo-standard financial transactions network, just because it could result in a price rise of Bitcoin, you're absolutely not included in this rant.
It's almost the same like having supported the war in irak because of expectations that the dollar would rise in the face of a booming arms industry, imho.
Please tell me you're not that type. If you aren't, you are not getting adressed by this tweet in any way.

EDIT: Re-reading that tweet after posting i see Cobra's last sentence being clear AF regarding the addressed audience.

EDIT2: Remember, most of the germans were shouting for WW2 because they expected more wealth from it. That's a very low motive in terms of humanity, isn't it?

   According to the tweet, the horrible human beings are the ones "gleefully" speculating that a Russia-Ukraine war (which as I pointed out has been going on for 8 years) will result in Russia being removed from SWIFT and subsequently adopting bitcoin as a settlement layer.  The one's who's first thought about war in Ukraine is, "Yay! Bitcoin goes up." are "part of the problem".   I'm asking, what "problem"?  There is no way in hell that a few bitcoiners "thinking" bad thoughts have any impact on a potential escalation of the current conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.   So it's not clear AF to me.


I see your point now.
"The problem" - imho - is that those people are making themselves part of the group wanting russia to start an (active) war.
Secondarily, Bitcoin would be once again the "asset of evil", according to politics and MSM if the dreams of the addressed people actually become reality.
Bitcoiners always fought against this powerful meme (no, i don't mean gifs on the internet). Which true Bitcoiner would want to empower the "enemy" by his own shortsightedness?

To the war: I don't comment and i don't take sides in this conflict. It is completely obsolete in my opinion, we have much bigger problems to solve.

nobody put much stock in what presidential order/directive means? it's supposedly coming next week.

 ..regulate..regulate..regulate.
imho, if they do, it would be more of a "command and control" economy that we would like to admit.

I fear we have to wait and see what they actually will bring to the table, but i'm a little suspicious too.
Background: In my home country, i am sitting out the progress of a vaccine mandate being put into effect. I spent way too much time and energy in arguing and playing mindgames about possible next steps and outcomes vs. possibilities. I got over to waiting until something really happens, which i can actually react to in a more efficient way. I guess it also keeps me thinking more factual than emotional about global propblems in general.


   So then is the unstated "problem", as I feared, that we have this decentralized, no-trust-required, wealth transfer method that doesn't require an intermediary which anyone can use... including Russia if they are kicked out of the SWIFT club?  Honestly, I can't see any other way to decipher it.  I guess bitcoin is a failed experiment. Sell it all now!!!!  ​Then again maybe we get lucky and Russia, if kicked out of SWIFT, will choose BSV as a payment settlement medium instead in which case I hope.... no! no! no!  I never hope for war.

By the way, I sent the above image to someone via text in real life, and at the time of sending the pic, I pretty much said:  "You need to be more like me," and the person told me that I needed to explain the picture MOAR better because the picture does not make sense, and I refused to explain the picture.  I said that the picture is self-explanatory.. and should be studied more closely in order to understand it.  

One of the problems of peeps in real life.. sometimes, and in that regard, I guess I am a meanie in real life, too.. because I refuse to explain more than what is already shown in the picture.

 That is kinda mean Mr. JJG.  You've gotten your friends, acquaintances and enemies alike used to a certain standard of communication and then you pull the rug out from under them with a simple picture?  A picture may paint a thousand words but it can't hold a candle to you, sir.  I suggest you apologize to that "someone" and strive to maintain excellence in all further communications.  Pfft... a picture.  Roll Eyes

Awesome show!  That was a great way to engage the audience. (I did very poorly however)

I have only one complaint: the bitcoin/bear tee-shirt the very likable host was wearing.  As long as it can be done safely, can you burn that in the next episode? (I'm referring to the shirt)

Cannabis compounds prevented Covid infection in a lab study
The 2 compounds commonly found in hemp -- called cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, or CBDA -- were identified during a chemical screening effort as having potential to combat coronavirus, researchers from Oregon State University said.

$80,000 in 2025? You're joking, right? Bitcoin will never make it close to $80,000.

If you got $1 every time you wrote the word "never" on this forum, you would already be a millionaire.

 I suspect he might actually have a bitcoin for every time he's said "never" on this forum.
