@cbrooklyn112 @PNS @RandomDeamon @DameAtomicGinger @rjdiasio You use Gold Lightning - which works like Bitcoin lightning. Bitcoin is also expensive to send through the internet, and it take hours. So you use a "layer 2 network" that works essentially the same as ancient money orders thousands of years ago (when gold was even *more* expensive to ship).

@RandomDeamon @PNS @cbrooklyn112 @rjdiasio Kinda like those ledger entries at your bank. So much real work and resources to create some electronic accounting entries for an imaginary currency. You own literally nothing (Nixon took USD off gold standard in 1972) and are happy about it.

A few months ago, the media went hysterical about how two unvaccinated girls died from measles. What they didn't mention was both girls died from gross medical errors which are becoming and more common.
Here I show what really happened.

@PNS They have WNBA on at the gym. The ball play is not where it's at. You want coverage of the cat fights, and the girl trash talk.

@PNS I tried a Krispy Kreme once - it made me ill for the rest of the day.

I loved the donuts I made myself. Dunkin used to make them that way (roll out yeast dough, cut in circles, cut out holes to cook separately, deep fry in beef tallow or non-seed oil).

@evillarry @PNS I know real cases where they just call it a "detached guest room".

@PNS The issue is that caffeine interrupts the wake up cycle - so when the caffeine wears off, you start waking up all over again (or just grab another dose of caffeinated beverage).

It worked for me. Wait for that first coffee/tea, and I don't need any more on a normal day.

I had to finish a project early this morning, and drank tea without waiting. My eyelids were drooping at 11am, at 2pm, and they're drooping now. Doesn't happen on normal days with a wait.

I'm not worried about extra caffeine on an occasional basis. But probably not good long term.

@fuknukl It would be really awkward if there was mistake in identifying them. If you screw up and deport a legal citizen/resident - then it can usually be undone.

IMPORTANT: We're pre-disclosing two high severity CVEs in Matrix's federation protocol, which will require a coordinated upgrade on July 22nd of all servers running in untrusted federations. Client developers may need to make minor changes too. Please see matrix.org/blog/2025/07/securi

@PNS It definitely sounds like a guy. Was the 2018 video a 14yro boy dressed in a hibab?

@PNS It's true that white skin is a mutation that is highly adaptive for northern climes. There are still the rare black couple that have a white (not albino) kid.

This deserves its own post. Phenomenal dissertation by a brilliant young mind. From 2018, she did this at 14 years old.

Kids given real responsibility and the opportunity to earn trust and develop judgement and skills will be alright in this world.

@PNS I read a sci-fi story when aliens captured the protagonist and had their matter replicator duplicate the contents of the office vending machine to feed the prisoners. Needless to say, the prisoners quickly grew quite weak and sick.

Eventually, the hero established enough communication to explain the problem, and the captors were able to obtain more food samples (especially meat) for the prisoners.
