Crypto (ETH and the like) is useful for it’s protocol, you can build projects on it.
Bitcoin is a good store of value, and with lightning payments starting to be accepted it could be a good way to pay for goods and services. The third world is currently using lightning to circumvent inflationary currency swings.
Welcome, yeah it’s one of the few good memories I have out of my school days.
It wasn’t a direct reference, but definitely inspired by Dr. cox.
Yep, I was lucky to have a few out of the box thinking teachers and I learned more from that handful of teachers than all the others combined.
I had a social studies teacher that had us act out historical events…he was asked not to return the next year after ordering us, the roman legion marching down the hall, to attack the vice principal.
I had a government teacher who would teach the facts for three days then spend Thursday and Friday debating us on the facts.
Several others like them that just challenged the status quo are the only reason I graduated high school.
In the mid 90’s I was in a computer class and we had some really basic paint program that our teacher said we had to make a piece of art with that included a saying.
This was at the height of the Got Milk campaign so guess what everyone did, a cow or a glass with Got Milk as their slogan. Since we were allowed to listen to CDs with the CD ROM and a pair of headphones I popped in some Aerosmith and made a geometric man with a Dr Seuss hat and my slogan was “Reality is such a drag”.
The next day the teacher calls everyone but me up and gives them their B graded print out, then he calls me up and hands me mine with an A+ and says that’s for not doing got milk and actually being creative…by the way where did you come up with that? I told him I heard it on the Aerosmith album I was listening to, he grinned and asked if I liked Boston. I told him I hadn’t listened to them before, and the next day he had a Boston CD sitting at my desk when I sat down, turned out he had a book of CDs he kept in there and let me borrow anything I wanted during class for the rest of the year.
I mean he could just make the platform “we’ll unblock the porn” and nothing else and win a majority in the first election.
While true, they are worried that people will spend money on drugs and those aren’t taxable, that’s what they’re really talking about.
Watch your knob around that knob.

It was the first one that came to mind that also fit the age range, that’s all. Hopefully someone else can explain it better than I can.
Well I was alive back then and remember that she was in her early 20’s when it happened. I was just using the military age and recruiters as an example of something that people around that age encounter than also has a power dynamic.
Not defending what Clinton did but she was old enough to sign a military contract. I don’t see anyone calling for military recruiters to be pulled out of schools and dismissed from the service for the power plays and down right lies they employ in highschools and college campuses.
Where they # Schweddy or salty?
Ahh, thanks.
I have no idea what CEO your talking about.
Oh I agree but it would be nice if he’d have listened to me years ago and started using a password manager at least. I know he’ll never go full self hosting, but come on at least use Bitwarden!
Like with Bitcoin, not your keys not your coin. If you don’t hold it you don’t own it.
I should get this for my dad, he recently got a new computer at best buy and the geek squad told him his files were all in the cloud and sent him home. Guess who got a call the next day because “all my passwords are in a word document in some fucking cloud”. Yeah that was a fun day spent setting up his computer while listening to his rant about the geek squad and “the fucking cloud”… thanks geek squad…
Signal has already stated that they will pull out of the UK if they go through with their version of this, I imagine they’ll say the same for the EU.
Get a good VPN, exit it from a non-5 eyes country, and hope they don’t start blocking by phone number alone… and hopefully they’ll drop the phone number requirement sooner than later.
Also, welcome to Signal!
