Could you spare a sat for my feet and/or roommate's dog? Sorry in advance for being a whore image

We're still early. Latest ⁦Gallup⁩ poll shows 37% of U.S. adults view real estate as best investment (virtually unchanged from last year’s reading), while 16% said stocks are best (down 6 points from last year and erasing 2024 gain). image

It's ridiculous that my only app that doesn't work on GrapheneOS is CashApp. Even Chase and Bank of America let me use GrapheneOS.

I'm just getting back to Nostr, and I have to say I'm not really a fan of Primal. I uninstalled and am on Amethyst. I don't mean to shit on anyone's project, but demanding my name to send zaps is offensive. Even though I have my own Lightning wallet from which I can send sats, you cannot bypass this KYC step within Primal. That's the wrong direction for this ecosystem. image

When I lose at Smash Bros., the game is mindless button mashing. When I win, it's the ultimate battle of wits.

On May 3, 1999, a mobile Doppler radar measured winds of 301 mph (later revised to 321 mph in 2021) in Bridge Creek, OK. The May 3, 1999 tornado still retains the record for the strongest winds ever measured on Earth. It killed 36, injured 583, and lasted nearly 1.5 hours.

All mining companies should be vigorously donating to Samourai's defense fund. This case could be the vehicle to attack bitcoin. If Samourai is an "unlicensed money transmitting business," then so are miners. The same holds for Lightning infrastructure businesses.
I don't understand why more in the ecosystem haven't spoken up for Samourai. If CoinJoin coordinators are unlicensed money transmitting businesses, then guess what? So are miners.
The Biden/Harris administration tried to forcibly inoculate 84 million Americans who worked at companies with 100+ employees. Get the shot, get tested WEEKLY, or get fired. I didn't forget. If you truly believe in "my body, my choice," then you WON'T vote for Kamala Harris.
Prediction: The DoJ will pursue bitcoin miners for unlawfully operating "unlicensed money transmitting businesses" in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1960(a). If custody or control is not required for liability, then miners are next on the chopping block. You heard it here first :)
The Biden administration has mandated that starting in 2028 light bulbs must achieve 120 lumens per watt (up from 45 today). Soft white and multicolored LEDs may not be able to meet the new standard. image
