I am no longer a bitcoin maximalist. Shitcoins are dead or at least cynically relegated to naked money grabs. There is no need for maximalism. I am a bitcoin reductivist. I think about bitcoin only in terms of what it actually is. Bitcoin is software. Everything else is just podcast fartiness.

The more I interact and think about interacting with "Bitcoiners", the more I realize that there are actually two discussions happening: 1. "Feeling"-based expectations of how bitcoin is absolutely going to change human consciousness, behavior, morality, and consequently, society. Thinking has been almost completely farmed out to podcasts in this discussion space. 2. People with actual functioning brainstems who think about how to use this software or the emergent systems surrounding the software to their advantage.

LOL TLDR; it was Siri. We have Siri disabled on our devices. We just yelled "HEY SIRI" and got the "Uh huh!?" from an old device I'm another to with Siri enabled. I put it on the charger the other day to extract some data from it. View quoted note →

Just experienced a very strange thing. Wife and I were having an animated conversation, and both heard a perfectly clear female voice say "Uh huh!?", in the tone that one uses to say "I'm listening, go on!" We can't explain it. The floor isn't squeaky. The dog was asleep. No media was playing on any screens.

I fixed a ceiling fan four wire pull chain switch. Feels good man. Yup. Pret. Ty. Good.

I miss the old days of movie theaters, where, for lack of content during seating, they just played recorded footage of a lava lamp. Lava lamp was way better than M&M and Toyotathon commercials.

Do you believe that everyone, at every time, is earnestly trying their best? This appears to have become a modern platitude. I resent the implication that I am even trying.

Used a teleconverter tube, and can actually get some real detail on these close-ups. #photostr #eaglestr #fujifilm #xt5

If "everyone is a scammer" (per Michael Goldstein), does that make highly-zapped notes successful micro-scams?
