WHO DID THIS

I was at a law firm earlier this week with marble halls adorned with magnificent paintings. On an ornate coffee table was a book specifically about the firm's artwork. This would not impress me as a client knowing I'm paying for all that. But it impresses some people. I used to work at a fancy law firm, but I vastly prefer working somewhere without all the frills where the focus is getting results efficiently and effectively. More and more clients prefer that approach, and I want to be where the puck is heading.

Atlanta is a decent place to live, but I'm not sure what we have to offer for tourists. The Blue Ridge Mountains far surpass anything in the city IMO.

I don't really understand what the point of a DJ is. Can their services not be replicated by an MP3 file?

Sometimes witnesses being deposed think they can win their case right then and there if they answer questions a certain way. IMO a more appropriate framing is you start a deposition with 100 points, and your goal is to lose as few as possible.

A clear sign of a violent tornado is ground scouring. The most extreme example of this was the 2011 Philadelphia, Mississippi tornado. The EF5 removed up to two feet of soil in some spots.

I told a twink how in the 90s we could only get the weather from TV every ten minutes and how it always came with a particularly distinctive style of smooth jazz

What

It was only on the ground for 12 minutes, but this tornado was a high-end EF3 with estimated winds of 158 MPH in Waverly, Nebraska on April 26, 2024.

For tomorrow. "Multiple strong/potentially long-track tornadoes, very large to giant hail, and severe/damaging winds all appear likely."

Age verification laws are pointless at best. Do apologists for the nanny state ever bother to think?

The infamous 2013 Washington, IL tornado was noteworthy for happening on a November morning. With low precipitation and the light of day, the high-end EF4 (190 mph) was well-documented as it traveled 46 miles in 48 minutes.

The most frustrating misunderstanding in bitcoin these days is conflating mempool rules with consensus rules. Your mempool rules cannot stop consensus-valid transactions because consensus-valid transactions can skip the mempool.

Happy Friday! What tyrannical overreach will the government announce today?

The April 26 Minden tornado was a mile wide at its peak and produced EF3 damage (estimated 160 MPH). A Doppler on Wheels, however, recorded winds of 224 MPH at an altitude of 2000 feet.

This is where bitcoin's poor privacy properties become problematic. To renounce your US citizenship, you have to pay a tax on everything you own. And because bitcoin is an open and transparent ledger, the gov't can more easily prove you owned BTC you failed to pay taxes on.

I can't breathe 🥵🥵🥵
