Thanks for this information. I think on Stacker.news there would be a lot of interest in articles on how people in Venezuela are getting by, specifics.
I think that's the reason lots of people aren't pursuing trucking as a career - the perception that self driving trucks will be coming along in just a few years.
No, I ran it through a regular mesh sieve, then a really fine mesh skimmer utensil.
I won't use the skimmer utensil again, though, it was a little fussy to get it through and tricky to hold. I may use a coffee filter, or a paper towel. Or maybe I'll find a sieve that has a smaller mesh.
Here's my tin-foil hat analysis - it's heavily sponsored/promoted by the government.
They get bitcoin to "custody" and then give you back Turkish Lira, on their schedule, and subject to whatever confiscatory taxes they desire.
Also, image the taxes on it. The price of the Turkish Lira will have plummeted, and you have to pay taxes on all those false gains.
Google translate of their mission statement:
To ensure the correct understanding of Bitcoin, to promote and disseminate it Protecting the prestige of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency sector Provide a new generation of secure and accessible self-service financial services for users
I'd be surprised if there's a way to withdraw to self custody. Isn't Turkey in the midst of huge inflation, with capital controls?
I did a bit of research - searched on their site, with google translate. Here's what I found on their website, about withdrawal. Looks like you can only withdraw to an approved bank, in Turkish lira.

Carnivore all the way, baby! Or even keto or low carb, if you can't do carnivore.
I didn't lose weight on it myself (didn't need to) but I got a lot healthier.
Close family lost 20 pounds fairly easily on keto, and has kept it off for 5 months so far, continuing with keto.
If you're interested in Carnivore, here's what I'd do:
- Read the book The Big Fat Surprise - very well researched book on why standard diet advice is garbage (see my post on it here #956777). It's like de-programming yourself, from the cult of the current nutritional guidelines. Most of what you hear (saturated fat is bad, plants and veggies and fiber is good, meat is bad) is false.
- Listen to some of the Carnivore podcasts/youtube channels. Dr Ken Berry, Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Shawn Baker. There so many interviews out there about people healing from autoimmune issues, especially skin and gut. And, of course, lots of weight loss.
- If you're going to start carnivore, look at some the videos entitled something like "top problems when starting carnivore". Oftentimes it's smooth sailing, but there are known issues that can crop up, that can be easily avoided.
Here's some of my carnivore posts:

Oh, okay, is Nostr where things are happening? I didn't know that.
Is there a specific issue with the Robosats Simplex? It seems to be working fine for me. Here's the Simplex link, from the pinned message in telegram (https://t.me/robosats/43828)
We found the greatest security and privacy possible in SimpleX and created a group that currently has over 1,000 active users and is one of the largest channels on the platform:

I was told by my son, that some teachers will actually ask the kids to do things on smart phones. And it's true, they have occasionally asked the class to do something requiring a smart phone.
If this happens, you need to raise a fuss about it. You can change things. Make it difficult, make them have a loaner smart phone (a pain in the rear to keep charged and available for everyone) to prevent your kid from being excluded.
This whole area is in a state of flux. There's also classes where supposedly the smartphones have to go in a cabinet, not to be touched by anyone during class time.
I don't think privacy is necessarily even the worst issue - it's the constant time suck, the lack of interest in other human beings, the inability to talk to people that the smart phone encourages/enables.
I kept my son on a flip phone for years. He was fine with it - I actually think he got a lot out of it.
But very recently he sat me down, and said, "I need a smart phone". And we got him a used Android phone.
Luckily he's VERY aware (maybe because of me, or seeing his friends constantly with their face on the phone?) of the dangers of smart phones. On his own, he installed the Stay Free app, which provides reporting on how much time you're spending on the phone. He has very few apps on it, even deleted the browser which I didn't know you could do.
It's a very, very difficult problem, and most especially with teens nowadays. I think you're ABSOLUTELY justified in being extremely strict with the phone. You don't want your kid to be in the majority of teens that doesn't know how to talk to people, that has their head constantly at a 90 degree angle.
Yes, it will impinge on their social life. Maybe try to get with other parents to coordinate limits. People are desperate for solutions/alternatives to this.
That whole, "they need to learn self control" thing is easy to say, but it's very hard for teens to do, especially with a product as addictive as the smart phone apps are designed to be.
The sad thing is that the US actually isn't as badly off as many other nations in terms of birthrate. It's getting worse everywhere.
Hold on a sec...you have access to a lot of booking data from salon booking engines in Australia, and you can actually see that currently women are looking to color their hair with darker tones?
Do tell more! Graphs? How far back does the data go?
