  1. He should taunt Johnson. “Why aren’t you clapping, Johnson? You don’t like more stuff being made in America? Clap, god dammit!”
  2. Missed opportunity to say “there’s a crummy hotel chain with my predecessor’s name on it, if you go into the gift shop, ALL the SHIT in there with his name on it was made in China…or as he says GGGJJJGJGJGJGYNA.”
  3. If Mike Johnson’s mouth opened and a bunch of shit flew out of it Green Mile style, I wouldn’t be surprised one tiny bit.
  4. Yeah her best play is to hide until February. If Trump’s movement still represents a meaningful voting block she can play up her role in his administration, if the country has come to its senses she can play up that she stood up to him as long as she could in 2024. Unless Trump commits to her as VP or Sec of State she has nothing to gain by endorsing him now, and she really has nothing to gain by endorsing Biden.
  5. Donald Trump has been an impactful political figure for going on NINE YEARS. Fuck my fucking life all the fucking way around and all the way up its ass. Fuck.
  6. Coaching standard this year seems pretty straightforward: Miss the tourney, you’re on the hot seat and anything short of round of 32 next season and you’re fired Round of 64, disappointing season but ok, you get another year and your seat is warm but not hot. Round of 32, fine. Nothing changes, let’s keep playing your contract. Round of 16, good job. Nothing changes, but we are happy. Round of 8, great job. Let’s discuss parameters of a raise/extension. Final Four, here’s your raise/extension. Championship game appearance, here’s your top 10 among all coaches raise/extension. Championship, congrats, you are now among the top 3 highest paid coaches in your field.
  7. I wonder how close the moderate conservatives are to splitting off. Haley holds some cards if she is willing to run 3rd party.
  8. It’s tough to think about how Im going to keep my kids safe when they get older. I’m not too worried about them intentionally taking fentanyl (or coke or Xanax), I’m much more worried about them drinking then doing something stupid once they lose their inhibitions. Scary shit.
  9. Would legit easily be one of the 5 best days of my life.
  10. Yep. If politics come up with someone and they say the word “but” after saying something negative about Trump, they are voting for Trump. Or if someone says anything negative about Biden without immediately confirming they are still voting for him, they are voting for Trump. Any sane person knows the stakes, and knows Trump cannot be allowed to be president. If there’s any ambiguity in a person’s opinion about the 2024 election, then they have been reading/watching/listening to brain poison and they are going to vote for Trump.
  11. Ok, so: Georgia election interference case possibly on hold because the prosecutor fucked her coworker DC election interference case on hold waiting on the conservative-led Supreme Court Florida classified docs case to be delayed because Trumper judge wants to NY porn star hush money case on track Not ideal
  12. Thanks for the reply. Hard to have faith in a currency whose governance is consistently and proudly described as “messy”. The SegWit change seems like it was an instance of the system passing a test, but I don’t really see why you think that single instance where everything worked out means that the system will pass all future tests. I also don’t understand how saying the nodes/users act as gatekeepers prevents large scale owners from exerting influence; the owners are the users, right?
  13. Seems like “historically” and “pretty much” might be doing a lot of heavy lifting in that explanation. I can see how it might be hard for Bitcoin owners to dictate code changes (although that seems like it relies on the small number of editors not being for sale). But someone getting ownership over a large % of coin seems like they sure could control the price. “To control Bitcoin is to kill it” seems like a good thing, but it assumes no one with enough capital to control it would want to kill it, and I’m not sure I buy that.
  14. Can you elaborate on that last point? I’m very interested to understand why someone owning a large percentage of a finite asset doesn’t give them control over how it is used.

  16. Their salaries aren’t their primary sources of income…
  17. I could see Huckabee hopping on Ozempic real quick and having a shot.
  18. Before a BIP can make it to UASF, it has to be approved by an editor. But also, even if you’re right, how well would UASF have worked if CVE-2018–17144 hadn’t been responsibly disclosed? There’s no indication that future bugs in the software could be guaranteed to be fixed via UASF quickly enough to avoid catastrophe, and that’s assuming they're found by good actors. I’m not going to put myself forth as an expert on Bitcoin. Maybe you know it all. That doesn’t change the fact that the VAST majority of people “investing” in Bitcoin have no fucking clue how it works. The value of Bitcoin is overwhelmingly fueled by speculation. It’s GME.
  19. Trump is not choosing a person of color for his VP. 0% chance. He will either choose an attractive white woman or a milquetoast white man.
  20. I have yet to meet a crypto enthusiast who actually understands how it works. Shitloads of speculators, very few investors. There are a handful of people (<10) who make decisions regarding code changes to Bitcoin. No one seems to be able to fully explain who manages them. At its best, it’s similar to gold. At worst, it’s tulips. Blockchain is valuable technology. But I have seen zero solid argument for why Bitcoin will replace the dollar as the primary means of exchange in the world. Countries who embrace Bitcoin lose the ability to sanction. I’m sure the US will let that happen. Not.

  22. If you have an iPhone you can touch “show reader” in the upper left menu of safari and it’ll bypass the paywall.
  23. The enshittification of Twitter and Facebook has forced me onto surly a lot more. I went from 4-5 hours per week on those 2 sites, checking surly maybe an hour a week, to never logging into Twitter, checking Facebook 15 min/week, and spending 2-3 hrs/day on surly.
