How much nuclear radiation, emotionally, can you withstand without it killing you? Is there an optimal amount that mutates you into a better person? Or, an amount that allows you to, gradually, withstand more radiation?
reply
both options you propose mean doing nothing but passively letting it change you.
are good things earned over time passively?

Can something only be withstood passively? How about the tantrum of a child? Or the siege of an enemy?
Choosing to stand near something that you know could harm you is not as passive as it looks. Although, running away looks so very active, doesn't it?

Yep, jumping the gun is always a hazard when teaching language. You have to wait for the full sentence, no matter how long it takes to get it out.

Sometimes when I read articles from publications like The Economist, Financial Times, The Atlantic, and the like, I feel horribly out of touch.
The Economics of Superintelligence (archived) in The Economist provided such an experience.
The article lists a series of potential outcomes where AI makes us better (more efficient) at doing all kinds of things. And then says this is very bad and dangerous. I think their argument is that AI might lead to so much economic growth that we all end up poor....but not because everything collapses. We'll be poor because AI makes everything cheaper.
I probably should have stopped at their second use of "mind-boggling."
I was going to post the article as a link, but I don't think it merits that.

Thank you for thinking before posting, you even saved some sats!!

The normie mind is trained to fear affordability.
reply
They are also trained to fear deflation above all else. The Federal Reserve Bank has done a good job, along with the state and its federated banksters. Their Ponzi scheme would collapse with deflation.
reply
That's what I meant by "affordability".
reply
OK, that is buyable. Everything is affordable if you buy it!! It is a revealed choice, then.

Why people have to do the hard exhausted work like extracting a damn 100kg boulder from the ground...
meanwhile robots are designed to manipulate delicate crap and folding clothes?
reply
Perhaps because humans are designed to get pleasure from a hard job well done, while robots are just soulless automatons. Didn’t you get a lot of pleasure, finally removing that rock? Bet you found a prominent place to put it for display, too.
reply
one of these will be good
reply
You are right, I got some pleasure, but too much effort. I wish I could have robot doing these hard tasks.
reply
you gotta get one of these! And a better lever too, haha!
reply
nope. I want an optimus to do the job for me. I can't carry that excavator in my backpack...

One reason why money is a mystery to so many is the role of myth or fiction or convention.

Happiness Journal 24/07/25
Today, I was tasked to engage several classes of K2 students because they were embarking on a project to plant kang kong in my school’s hydroponics farm.
The sad thing is, these kids won’t get to transplant the germinated seedlings. Their younger peers in K1 would get to do so tomorrow.
But of course, what they don’t know won’t kill them. This meant that I pulled out all the stops as a consummate edutainer this morning. Pulling out kang kong from my bag, showing them images I had gotten ChatGPT to produce, and giving each one a blue water droplet 💧 to stimulate the flow of nutrient solution in the water pump system. Sweating like a pig because entertaining young minds inside a greenhouse under the hot sun wasn’t easy!
Glad I emerged unscathed from that ordeal, having done my best!
And awarded @Kontext, @LightningG n @OT 1000 sats for taking part in my bounty. Many thanks!

This strike loan product is really impressive! From a UI/UX standpoint it’s great. Way better experience than using a fiat bank
I hope mortgages and car loans can be this easy to track manage and make payments on

Ohh, so this is from Strike?
I thought so from the design, but I couldn't find the section in the app or on https://strike.me/.
But I just noticed it shows up on https://strike.me/en. 🤔
reply
Yeah it’s from strike. Testing it out. One thing that stinks is they lock up your loan for at least 60 days. So even if I paid back all the principal today they earn money on at least one or two interest payments. Make sense because the loans have zero origination fee

Thanks for testing it out, I am considering to use it

As long as you have a plan to pay off your debt it’s a viable but expensive option.
But I think the expense is going to a bitcoin native company. I rather pay strike the 12.5% then a credit card company that may charge me 20-25%.
Another reason I consider this product.
For some reason citi bank hasn’t charged my credit card balance interest for 4 months now. I don’t know why they been deferring the interest but just incase they tried to slap me with a massive interest payment for not paying the balance in full these last few months I needed liquidity to pay it off at moments notice and not pay them an arm and a leg
