I was certain that with all the issues Europe is facing, the crusade of the Euro money had peaked. Sad to see it has not.

Not gonna lie, for the first third of the post, I thought you were saying the Euro Cup was coming to Bulgaria and causing all kinds of troubles for the locals hehe

Interesting to read about the effects and dynamics of changing currencies though. When was the last time a country adopted Euros?

Think it's sneaky af :P

I quit smoking long ago and literally the only thing I miss about it is loitering around looking fucking cool.

Still not worth tho.

Do you hand written note folks ever back up those notebooks by digitizing them?

I like taking notes and the idea of taking notes, but I struggle with keeping a consistent system and habit.

Got stuff scattered all over like 3 different note taking apps and a few in random notepad/txt files

Short notes, blurbs, random thoughts and ideas, copy pasta, code snippets for solving that one weird USB port issue on Ubuntu 16.04 almost a decade ago...

I know some folks swear by the fancy full feature note takers like Obsidian and that other one where you write thoughts and draw lines to relate them. Maybe I gotta give it a serious shot sometime.

I often have the mental block that spending too much effort in note taking and organizing them, fully learning to use a note taking app or system efficiently is somehow unproductive time. I know I'm probably wrong though.

Did you see that one guy who had vibe API calls that drained his (fiat) wallet

A lot of what's on display was always coming. No way around it. The only way is through.

Let's see how much of it sticks around through the next bear.

forgot about that one. I've been using Startpage for the same purpose(proxy to get Google results)

Toss-up between the logo and full text variants. Might have to flip a coin to choose.

For the QR logo, either the back or the front, under the SN logo/text.

In the back, anyone can try scanning it without me knowing. In the front it's more obvious if they try, so it would be invite-only haha

When gangsta rappers rap about how much bitcoin they have, what new slang will there be? What is the bitcoin equivalent of "racks", "bands" and "Gs" ? :P

Looks like they're going for using ₿ as the denomination for sats.

I wonder if we end up using different terms for the same thing. Bitcoins, bits, sats. We call our fiat different things too. Dollars, bucks, or pounds and quids, and more slang locally depending where you live.

Nice update. Looks like it's time to give the subwallets a whirl to see how simple it can make it for onboarding noob family and friends

I was actually just thinking of getting a SN shirt but add my referral code as QR on it haha

Thanks for the link, will read more on it.

Anyone with experience printing shirts know if QR codes on shirts work, or is it janky and unreliable?

@AGORA ?

Governance and legislation.

Less power from federal entities, distributed back more towards mayors, small town halls and even neighborhoods.

If the federal government encroaches on your way or life, you can't easily leave. If a town wants to go vegan and ban meat, you can move to the carnivore town, and everyone is happier.

They put so much attention to detail in that show. like every object in a room and camera angle is carefully picked.

example off the top of my head: a scene where a character walks past jars of honey that shouldn't be there AKA honeypots.

Reminds me of Breaking bad when Walt would take some subtle habits from the people he killed, like not eating crusts. Or the fact that the way Walt and his wife dressed, the colors, indicated their current relationship mood and close less. Basically if they were wearing bright colors, dark colors, the same colors or polar opposite colors.

I love when show runners reward the audience for paying extra attention

Tangentially related but I've heard of a similar theory that the proliferation of index funds made it so, more than ever before, everyone is investing in "the stock market" as a whole rather than individual companies or even specific sectors.

And now it's just a huge, less differentiated blob that goes up and down with liquidity, rates and other state sponsored shenanigans

Sorry it was probably too obscure a reference

Have you ever even beeeeen in a woman?

I think we all have different lives and situations, we come from different places and experiences, and some folks are responsible for the well-being of more than themselves.

Which means different tolerance to risk of exiting the system and burning all bridges.

But that doesn't make it inherently immoral or hypocritical. There can still be rebels within the system. In fact we need them just as we need those outside. We need the engineer that inserts and leaks the fatal weakness of the Death Star.

The question then becomes, given all these factors, what and where is the best place for you to contribute to the Rebellion in your own way?

There's a huge spectrum of dissent from speaking out education to throwing Molotov cocktails.
