Patterns are beginning to form. Cheat sheet for the coof:

Risk factors:
Being old. Really really do not be old if you can help it.
Being fat. Don't be a fatty fat fat fat.
Being black, at least in the states. Blacks dying twice as much as compared to their demographic, possibly from a lack of vitamin D due to dark skin. And also from casual racism, refusing to social distance due to this "being a white mans thing".
Being male, men are dying at 2-3 times the rate women are.

Things that can be done to reduce the risk:
Take vitamin D and C supplements. Remember that more is not better, take the prescribed dose. The body is a delicate machine.
Lose some weight fatty.
Drink elderberry juice. It works against the flu which is in the same family, so possibly works against this one too. And if not you get a nice drink out of it.

Billionaire Ray Dalio thinks we're heading into a great depression.

He says “We’re going to restructure our economy and restructure our financial system. This is not a recession; this is a breakdown."

How is everyone not bullish on #Bitcoin ?

Bitcoin will be the tool to redistribute money among people....

Losing any BTC is uncomfortable, but there is also some value in attempting to support the bitcoin ecosystem, and even attempting to take advantage of both the volatility and the price finding functions and interacting and learning from the various bitcoin related systems out there, whether it be something like Bisq, lightning network or some of the variety of exchanges.  There are also wallets and payment vehicles that can be vulnerable too, but can also be good to attempt to support some of those various ecosystem contributions... even while realizing that there are BIG MEANIE people out there who are engaged in various creative or even possible brute force ways to attempt to separate you from your bitcoins.

I've put 1 BTC into a lightning node to help support it in my small way.
I'm prepared to lose it if it goes tits-up.

I don't want to be too snoopy about your particulars, P_Shep, but from what I had read, even a few years ago, it was very difficult to put very much bitcoin into lightning network, and there were also limits regarding how many satoshis could be contained in each channel.  So currently, how do you achieve 1 bitcoin?  Multiple channels?  Can you provide some kind of basic description regarding whether the 1 bitcoin is all in one place or is it spread across channels, and maybe even how cumbersome it might be to pull it out... several transactions or one transaction?  Excuse me for NOT being very technical or even have had experimented with lightning network.. I am kind of waiting for it to become super easy in terms of my adding of my own personal activities in that direction.

Exactly, multiple channels. Whole point is to provide liquidity for others, so you get a little bit of the transaction fee as it passes through your node.
Think the max is 0.15BTC per channel. I currently have just 28. Actually should open some more as some have closed (and so returning the pushed amount). Been trying to get it working with TOR, but not having much luck. As far as I can tell everything is setup right, but can't open onion channels.
And yeah, pretty cumbersome right now. Using Eclair which has a GUI, but still barely does anything other than show the complete channel list of the whole network and details on your own channels. In order to do anything useful, you have to use the API, and I'm not sure there are any tools for doing that yet, but haven't checked in a while. Was thinking of writing my own in Python... Something to do if I get put on furlough

Response to taste and smell changes during pregnancy. This is probably due to biochemical/hormone dynamics. There might be evolutionary advantages in that (what's good for the mother, what's good for the fetus etc)...

Mothers think their own baby's shit doesn't smell too bad, just like nobody thinks their own farts smell bad. Scientists proved it in a controlled study. Now you have the perfect excuse to get out of changing diapers/nappies.


https://www.livescience.com/4141-moms-prefer-smell-baby-poop.html

In a new study, 13 mothers were asked to sniff soiled diapers belonging to both their own child and others from an unrelated baby. The women consistently ranked the smell of their own child's feces as less revolting than that of other babies.

This effect persisted even when the diapers were purposely mislabeled.

not just that some inbuilt overrides that mean you keep the baby alive.

I could do the nappies no problem, though I am a gag'y person. erm.

No problem wiping arses etc.

Baby sitting (sisters kid few years later) the other day my dadplomatic immunity is gone. Blergh

I tried to check out that Money Heist but couldn't find it in English.

And you won't, it's in Spanish.

Obviously the BTC one, dah.

Is that show any good? Netflix tried their hardest to get me to watch it.

Very good, you'll love it.
The first heist is the best so far, the second one is a variation of the first - but both great to watch.

It’s much better as any good, watching it whole again cause my new GF didn’t saw it and first 2 seasons are awesome, now I’m curious if they figured something good out to make the 4 season follow properly on the 3th

But it’s a must watch imo

Just hoping it won’t follow like prison break did

Fair enough, just FOMO-in when it's too late.

You’ll be another statistic & former WO member who wishes he didn’t sell everything. The crash already happened, we saw $3,8xx.

Good idea, but the series itself is quite bad. I stopped after a few episodes. But looks like opinions are different.
