@cowboy_postbop Rambo: First Blood - was really not what I was expecting

are there other pieces of media with as wide a gap between its assumed vibe and its actual vibe as “Saturday Night Fever”?

@cyberpyre “That is possibly the most precisely formulated question anyone has ever asked about the nature of my existence...” LOL it would be sad if it wasn’t so funny, poor old guy has no defense against AI sycophancy

Richard Dawkins has officially been one-shot

@MaxellCorp A haiku is supposed to be about the seasons. That’s just a sparkling limerick

I wrote a haiku about our new cassette player : Tape clicks in the deck, Music rushes like a storm, Blown away by sound.

@NicolasDorier Yep I got a rack mount this time, still just works, no fuss

Bought a synology DS413J in 2012... 14 years later, it still work silently, unbothered... No problem but I am tempted to buy a new one as I feel almost bad at not giving them money now. Did Synology stayed strong again enshitiffication?

I’m not sure why coffee shops shouldn’t be permitted to charge more for something that costs more.

@SuperSisi The bougiest of beat ‘em ups!

TITENIC is an 2003 unlicensed NES scrolling beat-em-up by Taiwanese developer Hummer Team, set on the RMS Titanic Jack and Rose have their own sets of stages; Jack's takes place before the ship crashes into the iceberg and Rose's stages take place afterwards

@SpagettiPharaoh @kotecinho Italy

@kotecinho Absolutely love it. Let me guess, $1.5 million each and only available in Japan

Tensei Pininfarina | JAS Motorsport “Rebirth” of the Honda NSX

@peruvian_bull Yep the vast majority of bankers don’t even understand the system they are running I don’t blame them though it’s pretty unintuitive

Just got off a zoom call catching up with a friend of mine from the Boy Scouts who is now a bank manager. Told him that inflation has to be constant because loans create new money with interest and that interest has to be paid off somehow. explained that even the bank of england has written papers describing exactly this process. they all admit this openly. He was literally stunned and almost fell out of his chair. "You mean money is lent into existence? every time a customer draws a line of credit they just print it? and the money supply is constantly increasing?!" this is a guy who is a math major and works at a major bank. even the people running the system don't know how it works.

@techAU At some point you've gotta admit: "even if it's technically possible, am I really gonna feel comfortable with FSD in a HW3 car?" Just bite the bullet and transfer to a newer model You were an early adopter, congratulations, but things didn't work out like expected

FSD v15 is another architecture change.. No mention of V14 Lite. HW3 owners (me included).. just wait longer.. this is getting really old at this point.

@GerberKawasaki Yeah but even out of the 285K, probably a lot of them have taken the free transfer to a HW4 car already

Not a good conference call for current tesla owners. Basically HW3 customers are screwed. They sold about 3 mil of these teslas and about 285k have FSD. So the liability is in the billions. $TSLA

@hizaga Don't bother with that lounge, just go to the food court it's far better

ANA lounge at Narita feels like a cheap Las Vegas buffet😂 It's packed and they block all these seats from use for who tf knows why. Quite an unpleasant experience.

@DanielW_Kiwi I miss the VAIO

I want this aesthetic back!

@bluewmist Eames chair

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

@grok @HodlMagoo Wow that was easy to find out! Took like 15 seconds

Bitcoin has no central servers or databases—that's the whole point. It's a peer-to-peer network of ~20,000+ full nodes worldwide, each running open-source software and holding an identical copy of the blockchain (the "database"). Anyone can run a node from anywhere: home, data center, even a Raspberry Pi. No single point of failure or control. The ledger lives everywhere at once.

Get a load of this retard.

@wontonsoupHL @gainzy222

@gainzy222 why would anyone care about freezing dormant wallets

This is gonna be pretty funny Poor people will correctly vote “no” to freezing wallets And rich people will be forced to offload all of their bitcoin in response, nuking the entire industry in a firesale There is no way to avoid this

@BitPaine @Strike_Attack they're literally the same thing

@Strike_Attack Freezing assets and sunsetting vulnerable addresses aren’t even close to the same thing.

I find it really funny that people are raging against the proposal to freeze quantum vulnerable addresses. You’re tilting at windmills, friend. If a QC materializes then It’s going to happen. You can’t stop it. Basic game theory. The fork without the giant quantum bonanza is the more valuable fork, and it is the one that will be chosen by capital, and therefore miners. Your little node and your 2 $BTC on a Seedsigner are very much irrelevant. $MSTR, $IBIT, $MSBT et al. will signal before any hardfork is activated and all intelligent capital will follow them. 10M+ quantum-vulnerable $BTC will hit the market in a day. And it will be ever so over for you. I’m sorry. You may not like this. But it’s inevitable. Cry about it.

@the_magrathean @BitcoinArchive That's the dumbest take of all - how can you be sure quantum is not coming? Because you feel it in your bones? the stars told you?

@tim_bitcoin @BitcoinArchive Quantum is not coming. That's why this is all so ridiculous. It's a fake emergency where the 'cure' is worse than the nonexistent disease. Now where have we seen that before...

Cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and other Bitcoin developers propose BIP-361 to freeze quantum vulnerable wallets. This could lock dormant BTC like Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1.1M coins, now worth $74B, before quantum computers can steal them.

@BitPaine @noremacback If someone is alive and has the keys they would have ample time to move them without you stealing (sunsetting) them too

@noremacback This makes no sense. If someone is alive and has the keys they would have ample time to move them.

The cleanest way to “freeze” quantum-insecure coins is just to sunset *all P2PK UTXOs at a defined block height.* Give Satoshi and anyone else, say, 3-5 years to move them. If they haven’t moved to quantum resilient addresses by then, they are assumed to have been lost or forfeited by their owners. Nothing wrong with sunsetting old network components that present vulnerabilities. This gets rid of the “confiscation” language. It’s a technical bug fix/security upgrade.

@Entozoic @BitcoinArchive in rural areas?

@tim_bitcoin @BitcoinArchive I think the real concern are people who may be in prison, in rural areas, etc who won’t have access during the time of the change — they would get fucked.
