Atlanta. COVID sanity. Bitcoin not crypto. Gay not LGBT. Former biochemist turned patent litigator.
Today is 14-year anniversary of the worst tornado disaster in over 70 years. The Joplin EF5 tornado had estimated winds of 225-250 mph. It killed 158, injured over 1100, and cost $2.8 billion. The recent Netflix documentary shows testimony and recordings from the incredible event.
It's been 12 years since the last EF5-rated tornado. Jeffrey Lechus calmly captured some of the closest footage of the May 20, 2013 Moore tornado on his way to pick up his son from school. The twister killed 24, injured 212, and caused $2 billion in damage over its 14-mile path.
A significant tornado event occurred in London, Kentucky last night. So far 14 deaths have been confirmed, making it the deadliest tornado since the 2023 Rolling Fork, MS tornado.
BTW please don't kidnap me. I don't have THAT much BTC tbh (like not a kidnapable amount IMO). And the little I do have is stored with people who have lots of guns 😋 You can kidnap me if you're hot though
Significant tornado outbreak ongoing in northern Kentucky and southern Indiana
I don't really understand why I should buy MSTR instead of bitcoin
Europe gets a violent (F4 or F5) tornado about once every five years. The 2021 South Moravia F4 tornado speared debris into the ground, mangled cars, and removed several inches of topsoil in some locations. Six were killed and 576 injured on its 17-mile path across Czechia.
Samourai case update: The government doesn't think the prosecutors' conversations with FinCEN are a big deal. image The Government pointed to communications relevant to Count One: conspiracy to commit money laundering. According to the Government, the conversations with FinCEN could only be relevant to Count Two: conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business. image As I predicted, the Gov't argued that FinCEN's opinions are irrelevant. Noting the end of the Chevron doctrine, the Gov't argued that "FinCEN published guidance, let alone the informal opinion of FinCEN employees, are not regulations or rules and have no authoritative effect."
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
