overdose is:
take the drug. go into a high instantly and slip into a coma.
yep thats how it works

its not
take a drug. and decide to go to a store and buy cigarettes and then walk to a car and sit in drivers seat
listen to some music while chatting to passengers, interact with cops, get out a car on his own feet and walk to the side walk. talked to the officers clearly and plead to not go into the back of the police car.
he was alert and pleading.. meaning it was not a drug induced overdose
https://youtu.be/VDd5GlrgvsE?t=162
as you can see.. clearly standing walking and talking. ..


...some people want to also argue that the claustrophobia thing is not real.
actually being in a front seat of your own car where you know you can open a door and be incontrol and you can see clearly out of the windscreen.. this is not the same as being handcuffed in a backseat where you cant open the back door and the windows are shut and tinted to not see clearly
and where the leg room of the back seat is restricted and a PVC+metal panel dividing the back/front means it can feel more like a prison/cage..(as police backseats are designed to feel like on purpose)

however the claustrophobia did not cause the death. it caused the need to remove him from the car.

being put onto the road should be to have a few seconds for the THREE officers to reposition themselves and at most put leg shackles on. maybe 30 seconds..

a knee in the back should not be something done for 9 minutes while cops just sit and do nothing.
a knee in the neck should not be something done for any minute while cops just sit and do nothing.

but lets say there was some vaguely stupid reason to knee the neck of someone for more then 30 seconds

a knee in the neck should not be continued when the person has gone silent
a knee in the neck should not be continued when someone is known to be unconscious
a knee in the neck should not be continued when an ambulance has been called
a knee in the neck should not be continued when the ambulance arrives
a knee in the neck should not be continued when the paramedic got out and was standing by the person

choking someone out for 9 minutes. is not police policy
choking someone out and continuing to choke out and not do anything to aid recovery. is not police policy

even chauvins boss and colleagues and specialist in police training are all saying what chauvin done is not policy

so accept it chauvin broke the law in a manner that caused someones death
accept the verdict is in.
accept that chauvin is guilty

UAFA and FIFA have become too monopolistic and are taking a huge cut of profits from every game just for being the 'regulator'

many teams want to break away and have a 'regulator' that is founded by the football teams and not some other business where none of the chiefs have kicked a ball in any official game

..
yes its about money. but its the same plan as a music artist wanting tos tart its own management company to avoid other management companies syphoning off the money for their plays

if football teams/music bands dont like their management company they should have the ability to set their own management company up and not have their income controlled by some stranger
8523  Economy / Speculation / Re: Which on-chain anayltics have you found to be most useful when predicting price? on: April 20, 2021, 07:57:40 PM
you cannot predict the price.

you can however weight the risks

for instance knowing the cheap:expensive mining cost of $21k:$72k. you can see that if the price ever tanked down to $21k where no one is profiting via mining. then everyone will prefer to buy coins cheap instead of waste it on electric
so you can work out some bottomline value lines no one would want to go below.
where the buy pressure is super high to prevent it going that low
you can also work out the most expensive mining cost. where by if the price ever went above this. no one would want to buy because they can get coins cheaper via mining/pool OTC

so you can form a window of value of $21k-$72k(at current mining costs)
and if the price is near the tip of this then the buy support is lacking.

you can then add on more metrics.. like the UTXO movements of the last 12 months (active traders) and look at where the majority have moved coins above certain price. where they too would not want to sell at a loss

for instance 50% of last 18month of coins moved when prices were above $37k (75% of 12 month coin movements)
so there is strong support not to sell below $37k

so you can narrow down the window to ~$37k-$72k as the speculation zone of support and resistance

you cant predict the exact price at any time. but you can evaluate if the price is at a low good value or at a high overpriced bubble.. and then weigh out the risk of oppertunity

8524  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Could Have Caused Bitcoin to Flash Crash On Sunday? on: April 20, 2021, 07:20:13 AM
dont think of it as a 'crash'. because the month average has been $56k anyway

the $64k was a temporary blip. not sustainable.
a $53k-$56k is a normal flow average for the last month. and not something to panic/worry/question

but now we know the market has tested $62k twice in the last 3 months. it shows that its capable of going up in the midterm future. but just not ready yet to go up and stay up
8525  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reduce the hash of several mining pools due to power outages in China on: April 20, 2021, 01:41:14 AM
the hashrate chart found on https://charts.bitcoin.com/btc/chart/hash-rate#5m9v shows only 20 Exa hash drop which is 11.7% drop in total.
the stories also don't make sense to me. the power outage was only in part of China in northwest of it and the list of mining pools in that picture contains a lot of pools that are not even in China and Chinese miners aren't connecting to them in first place so how can they experience drop in their hashrate even if Chinese miners were out?

the so called '11%' /20exa is rounded/diluted out over a day. meaning when electricity returned later the day the numbers went up.. but at the exact moments of the power outage the dip was more then 11%


asic miners dont have to be hosted in same location as stratum(pool) servers
a stratum can be in thailand and yet:
25% of asics can be in china, 25%in america 25% in iceland 25% in georgia
and thus a china power outage can cause a 25% dip for a thailand pool. even if the pool is not in china

by looking at which pools suddenly dropped shows which international stratums the northwest china miners connect to.


8526  Economy / Economics / an economic thought experiment on: April 20, 2021, 12:20:43 AM
we should all know by now there is not 'btc' at code level.. the mining reward, transaction, data units were always in satoshi value.
yep thats right you will not find a single btc in the blockchain.nor any transaction. just an enormous amount of satoshis allocated to each utxo
btc is just a GUI / UX basket calculation made for human graphic visualisation . not a code/data fact

so imaging if 12 years ago it was not deemed as 50btc mined block reward.. but on the GUI/UX it was 5,000,000,000sat
and later they developed a basket term of bits 100sat. but never went to the basket of 50btc
so
in 2009: 50,000,000.00 per block
in 2012: 25,000,000.00 per block
in 2016: 12,500,000.00 per block
in 2020: 6,250,000.00 per block

with a 140 year cap of 21 trillion bits(21,000,000,000,000.00)

would people view the network as equally as 'scarce' or would they see the issuance of 50mill 'coins' every 10 minutes as not scarce. and thus not of as equal value

i just want to know other peoples feelings of how much less they would value the network if it wasnt for the user graphic interface calculations

would people in 2009 have deemed
50btc=$0.10c as good value with fee's as low as 0.00000300
or
50,000,000bits=$0.10c as good value with fees as low as 3bits
8527  Other / Politics & Society / Re: AFRICA: where did they lose it ? on: April 19, 2021, 01:08:29 PM
19th century africa was more tribal and local law. they didnt really have 'state law'

then politics came in. dividing the land based on political notions not tribal sentiment
politicians started selling the land. without tribal consent. disturbing and displacing peoples villages for corporate profit

damming up the rivers to cater to utility companies for cities, left the land dryer with no natural flow for remote tribes.

mostly it was the land grab politically and from global corporations displacing tribes further away from their natural hunting/farming grounds

then the damming of rivers where only the waste the passes beyond the dams

..

ask yourself .. if a village needs to travel 5km a day for water. why did they settle 5km away..
the answer is because they are not allowed to live near the rivers. they were forced out

Mafia big pharma does not allow competition and no vaccines wirh undeadly sideeffects.
Prof. Winfried Stoecker, founder of "euroimmun" developed a vaccine with only good intentions...
74 year old Dr. Winfried Stöcker developed his own corona vaccine last year and has already tested it on himself and around 150 volunteers.
His opinion that the drug could end the corona pandemic in Germany in a short time is not shared by the responsible Federal Institute for Vaccines, Paul Ehrlich Institute, Instead of enthusiasm, criminal proceedings are now underway against him  for "not being allowed to do so", violations of the drugs act.

tash defends a retired man that tested a unauthorised vaccine on 60+ people

wait. wasnt tash earlier saying that testing unauthorised things on people was bad..
wait. wasnt tash earlier saying that 21000 test subjects is not enough to 'prove'
wait. wasnt tash earlier saying that 6-9months was not enough to 'prove'
..
so now tash wants to defend a retired guy that tested it without authorisation on 60+ people and call it science

dang tash is flip flopping more then badecker..

and then there is this
'i produced an antigen and then innoculated myself several times intramuscularly'

seems his treatment is not a 1 dose. not a 2 dose not a 3 dose but a several dose treatment
...
so why exactly is tash defending this guy??

so why is a guy that did not seek permission to use humans as guineapigs.. deemed a good guy?
8530  Other / Politics & Society / Re: RELIGION IT'S POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IMPACT ON SOCIETY on: April 18, 2021, 04:12:28 PM
for me religion is just campfire stories to teach morals and laws.
using entertaining stories of magic and mystery to have those stories remembered.
where the ethos ethics and morals of the story are about peace. respect and not harming others

negatives are they people ignore the morals and ethics and use the stories to excuse them when they do harm by taking exerts out that allow them to be forgiven and thus able to do harm without taking responsibility

to overcome the fear if failure can be easy
ask yourself. will the task you want to do cause your death if you fail
will it cause you to be homeless

if its not life impacting then dont fear it. instead plan it. plan to reduce the risks even further... then
DO IT

if your not going to lose your life or your home. then the risks are not that much. so do it because the benefits can be far greater
8533  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will I be safe from litigation? on: April 17, 2021, 05:16:12 PM
self defense is usually universally spoken as "a clear and immediate threat"

if you know someone says 'im gonna kill you". but has no weapon and you know they are not actually going to kill you. then its not a threat. you know there is no intent. so you wont have a good defence

also to use the excuse of 'fake threat' you also need to prove they were the actual people that actually fake threatened

its not straight forward as someone makes a wild-ass empty claim and it absolves you of any responsibility on your side.. yes you have to be responsible too

your best bet is to find who done the bomb threats. create a police crime report about it. if the police cant do anything but the people continue to make their wild-ass fake threats. then inform the police that they are harassing and intimidating

and then. once you got your defence of harassment and intimidation.. then you can defend yourself

in short prep a harassment/intimidation defence not a 'they threatened to bomb but i knew its not a threat'
(harassment is prolonged and occuring multiple times. so make sure its logged that its not a simple 11 time event)

badecker creates a title.. and then says many will cal it fake news. and then quotes an article from a fake news conspiracy site..

yep its fake news
seems badecker only searches half a dozen websites
phoenix. naturalnews and some freeman cultsite bitchube and some random conspiracy influencer

he fears searching the entire internet. he has become too brainwashed into the conspiracy fake news that he doesnt realise what is reality anymore

if badecker has ever seen the planes hauling water to try putting out the fires of california. he would (if he tried) realise to be able to poison a whole sky/cloud would require more then the the thin 'chemtrails'

heck he is so brainwashed that he is using 'chemtrails' when talking about water vapour from normal flights.. and has not even looked into 'cloud seeding'

yep by badecker using the buzzword 'chemtrail' and not the research of 'cloud seeding' just shows how pathetic and brainwashed badecker is.

he would rather believe the lies of conspiracy sites than do actual research where actual cloud seeding was tried. he would rather believe the lies then learn the difference and learn the truth

Most 'polio' going around in most countries these days is the vaccine strain which reverted.  But they call it something like 'flaccid paralysis' when it came from the vaccine to fool the simple sheep-people.

'these days'???i think you mean before 2020 (21 years ago) the oral polio vaccine was the live-but weakened virus.

this is where its the virus but weakened to not multiply at-all/much. thus allowing your body to fight it faster than it can replicate thus recover fast
but this is where the weakened virus actually did cause cases..

but this was 21 years ago.. so tvbcof is very outdated with "these days"

First article of many pulled up on a search.  This from 2017https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/06/28/534403083/mutant-strains-of-polio-vaccine-now-cause-more-paralysis-than-wild-polio

Quote
For the first time, the number of children paralyzed by mutant strains of the polio vaccine are greater than the number of children paralyzed by polio itself.

So far in 2017, there have been only six cases of "wild" polio reported anywhere in the world. By "wild," public health officials mean the disease caused by polio virus found naturally in the environment.

By contrast, there have been 21 cases of vaccine-derived polio this year. These cases look remarkably similar to regular polio. But laboratory tests show they're caused by remnants of the oral polio vaccine that have gotten loose in the environment, mutated and regained their ability to paralyze unvaccinated children
...


So we have a situation where the technocrats are creating and spreading a disease, then saying it's OK because if you take their vaccine you won't get it.

millions of lives have been saved
out of the millions that have a vaccine only 21 had adverse affects..
you are forgetting the millions saved from the vaccine

whats next.. if 21 people got infections from injury wound sutures you want millions of injury victims to bleed out and die because you want to ban people getting stitches
are you really that insane

are you really going to cry if 21 people died from infection due to stitches.. if the real world knows stitches actually saved millions of people from getting wound infections. and saved millions from death.
is your evidence of 'benefit. going to be when stitches work so well that the normal open wound injury infection rate goes down to just 7.. but the stitch infection rate is 21.. you will announce you want millions of survivors thanks to stitches be banned from having stitches

please tell me your not that insane to ignore the thouasands-millions where the treatment saved lives

he probably earned a fair bit going to 'security' conferences to spout out that mantra in his official capacity

then after leaving his role and in his unofficial capacity he wants to get paid doing interviews to say that the CIA propaganda was wrong
.... bit late .. but getting paid jumping over a fence he created

its like the SEC guy that invented bitcoin NYLicence. .. and a year later left his role to join a bitcoin corporation to help advise people how to get around the licence or how to get through it quick and cheaply

it just means less coin in active circulation..

bitcoin should do anything about it.
the point of bitcoin is no one can just steal someones coins for any greedy reason of thinking coins need to be redistributed if not moved after 10 years.

no one should dare declare coins dead and remove them from that address

if they are lost then they are lost. that is it.

bitcoin needs to do nothing.. PEOPLE need to actually take care of their assets and prevent forgetton/losing their keys.
8539  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: User bitcoin nodes are useless to the network on: April 16, 2021, 09:14:10 AM
although non economic nodes do help decentralise the network. thats all they do
its more about data. not rule change control

it is a supposed safety net to ensure that the economic nodes(ones running bitcoin accepting businesses) dont co-ordinate a change of rules without majority. however we seen this in 2017. they had and succeeded to push the non-economic nodes not wanting the NYA off the network. because having so many nodes allowing to accept standard blocks would have ruined their chances of changing the network rules
yep the economic nodes clubbed together and set their own rulechange ploy as part of the developers need for segwit

the power of non-economic nodes is limited.
not only can the power players (dns seeders, economic nodes and pools) just push others off the network. but also when economic nodes want to change something.. because they are the businesses/exchanges people use. people end up following the economics lead just to stay on the network that will accept their transactions
(no point having a coin if a service cant see it)

and so the economic nodes can end up winning anyway

yes even exchanges can control the path pools go. because pools cant spend their coins if they are not on the same network as the major exchanges/services they want to spend rewards on

user nodes and pools end up being sheep to the main service nodes(exchanges/dns seed)

..
in short. if a normal non-ecomomic node wanted to change the rules.. they would need to get the economic nodes onboard
if the economic nodes wanted to change the rules. they can just change the rules and let everyone upgrade to their ruleset after

non-economic node changes create altcoins
economic node changes create network upgrades
8540  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reduce the hash of several mining pools due to power outages in China on: April 16, 2021, 08:23:12 AM
and if you do the maths. the 166exa to 136exa that the differences count as

is only 21%
so atleast you know "china" do not own bitcoin. do not have 50% but at the most 21%


next thing you realise is that these dips are only about the stratums(pool servers) and not the mining rig count themselves

so when a server goes offline in china. it may house multiple countries asics that could not connect to the chinese server

and so the count is actually low than 21%

so can people now chill and realise china 'owns' under 21%
