As promised, this is the sight at 55 meters / 180 feet under the sea at the sea floor. This is from my dive from today.

That information has limited usefulness since i dont also know if they are friendly to people.
>"Reminds me of what de Tocqueville said about prisons. Same idea, just with unwanted people instead of unwanted animals. At least I think it was de Tocqueville..."
Whoever said it, I think they got it from another guy who said earlier, "..Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
And many others throughout history advocating compassion towards others.
All those wonderful colours and the mysterious world bleh! Booo no way why?! :D
But uh ok a small video would be 'acceptable' :)

@Pat
No ive been to more than twice this depth. It is the deepest ive been on this trip though
If anyone wants to see what the dive profile of a 55 meter / 180 foot dive looks like here is my dive from today:
@b6hydra
Sounds legit
@freemo Reminds me of what de Tocqueville said about prisons. Same idea, just with unwanted people instead of unwanted animals. At least I think it was de Tocqueville...

I think there is a lot of scammy feeling advice i just dont think it is based on real intent to scam outside of large companies or influencers. When a small time guy on the internet is being emphatic about crypto and telling you to sell your life savings to buy it i think he believes what he ia saying, he just is giving bad advice based on his own luck or opinions. Elon i think is probably being a bit scammy intentionally in playing the market, but he also legit believes in a bit too.

Their religion also tells them to treat other people with kindness. So if there is an arab country where people are abused and unsafe it is likely they arent following their religion with regards to animals either. So my hypothesis likely would still hold up in other arab countries.
Pro tip: judge a town by how friendly and healthy its stray animal population is. If they are happy and friendly so are the people, and you are probably safe.
Since ive been in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula every single cat and dog has been so friendly. They come up to me and want pets, cuddles, and of course food. Thry never seem scared or overly cautious, and while they may be a bit on the skinny side they mostly seem pretty healthy for strays. It is no surprise the people are friendly and if you stop on any curb or random bench to sit it wont be long until the closest egyptian will be offering you a free tea while you wait. They truly are a lovely culture here.

DAOs serve a purpose, and i am currently in the middle of deploying one for a cryptocurrency related project. But id caution as using them as thr default way to operate any project. For starters thry can get expensive for a project with no income, and second thry arent likely to offer much benefit unless they are serving as a democratic control point to sone other smart contract. The only real benefit of using it as a generic organization would be the immutability and transparency of a blockchain record, which really isnt worth the costs in itself for small projects.

@freemo @khird Appreciate the replies! I waved off a buddy who advised me to buy BTC ~2012 saying "I already have monopoly money" -- guess which of us now owns a whole bunch of office buildings...
Remained 100% leery of the space until this Spring when I was attracted by the notion of 'easy money' through generative art NFTs. Luckily, I realized soon enough that A) While I could improve my coding, I'm not an artist and B) the artists that are making money are people who'd be making art regardless of NFT market. Skill and passion correlate (at least somewhat) to quality of output, hence the top-heavy distribution of earnings.
Relevant book by Nobel economist Robert Shiller "Narrative Economics: How Stories Go Viral and Drive Major Economic Events"...
I get the impression that whales and other market makers are more than happy to let segments like ICOs or NFTs pop up every few years, absorb new influx of fiat from retail investors (attracted by press stories on 'easy money'), market runs up, smart money exits near top, then retail gets spooked, market tanks, and long-term hodlers re-enter. Rinse and repeat every couple years. Along the way, the good traders have profited from volatility and platforms like OS take their cut all along the way.
