what silent racism?

probably not. But they also probably think that they know more than everyone who lives between the sierra nevada and appalachia mountains

do you have any thoughts on these? IMO they're selectively enforced

You've never blocked anybody at all? Or is this excluding obvious scammer accounts and old room mates who you've had a falling out with? I don't block people for their views, but I do block people who have no business knowing where/what I'm up to or dudes larping as hot 19 year old girls asking me to cash app them 40$ for gas money so they can come over

Lol, one of those "devs"

exactly. Honestly, Bitcoin is very efficient with its energy usage. The economics encourage miners to find untapped energy sources, such as; methane gas that would otherwise be flared, excess hydro power when flood water demands a dam be open beyond capacity, solar farms during the peak of the day when they generate too much electricity. Hardly anybody plugs into the wall and buys electricity at market rate; it's too expensive

They really can't though. Asics are designed to do the SHA2(SHA2()) function over and over again. A private key is any number between 1 and 2^256 power. An ASIC arguably couldn't even perform the operations to query the Bitcoin blockchain and see how many unspent UTXO's the private key's corresponding public key controls.

it's only silly because you ignored it and now feel envy for everyone who did their research before you and got in early

if you're in the left lane and people are behind you, that means you need to go faster, period. It doesn't make traffic any less safe if you go faster. Going slow pisses people off and makes them do risky moves.

the person hogging the left lane does not make our roads better, instead they make them slower and less enjoyable. If you're in the left lane and somebody's behind you, just be decent and go to the right once it's clear to do so. Then you can go back into the left lane

LA times for ya

You've made so many assumptions here that it's almost impossible to reason with your slanted and opinionated point of view.

The hospitals never became overloaded. Government run hospitals were mis-managed and appeared overloaded. The government ordered elective surgeries to be postponed, not the hospitals. Children need to socialize with other children, it helps them learn how to be functioning individuals. Telling people "your jobs have been taken away by the government, but here's a few hundred each week" forces people into situations they'd otherwise avoid.

I am VERY concerned about how the poor are affected by the lockdowns. The inflation the biden administration is causing under the guise of covid is hurting them the most. They'd be much better off in a free economy where there's plenty of market rate jobs and minimal to no inflation.

Things were going AMAZING from the start of 2017 until early 2020 when the democratic controlled house and democrat state governments starting forcing all of these lockdowns and moving the goalpost

that I'm a free thinking, rational person?

it may not exist for you, but people like me are fighting like hell to get back the rights everyone else willingly gave up

I don't think we'll ever see eye to eye on this. You clearly forgot what life was like before the news scared us into shutting down and will never feel comfortable operating in society again. That's fine, but don't bring others down with you.

unfortunately most people on this website aren't rational, and either want to be a victim or want to be a hero, and view the current state of affairs as their chance to fill that mold.

How's that any different from any disease in the history of humanity? We "dont't" know (even though we know covid is harmless for the vast majority of people), so why risk the adverse effects of a shutdown again. Aren't you worried about the mental health of children, the women at risk of being shut in with a domestic abuser, or the resulting inflation disproportionately affecting low income people of color?

They should go where ever their doctor tells them to go. But quite frankly I don't see cancer patients going to bars/resturants/clubs etc. This includes the world prior to 2020

Source please? It sounds like the most mild of all the 99.97% survival rate variants of covid. If you don't want to get sick, then stay home, but don't tell me how to live my life

From your source, gas was an average of ~2.40 on jan 20th. Rite after biden gets in gas spikes, peaking around 3.40 end of october. Now it's around 3.20. Still up by 80c nationally. But CNN is saying "gas is going down" trying to give biden a favorable image, instead of saying "Gas is still way up because of the ESG policies of the biden administration"

"Don't tolerate lies, hypocrisy, or sophistry from our leaders even if they are nominally on 'our side'. ", This bugs me so much. The biden administration literally complained to MSM about the bad news they were getting. In a few days CNN came out with "Gas prices are coming down ", being still not as low as the Trump era. Reminds me of 1984 when Winston makes up an article about chocolate rations

looks like we found nancy pelosi's hacker news account

Were you aware the the WHO and eco-health were strong-arming scientists to agree with the natural origin? This story got memory-holed but it happened

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/peter-daszak-should-...

the lab leak hasn't been disproven yet. There was a senate investigation that biden killed (https://nypost.com/2021/05/25/biden-team-shut-down-inquiry-t...) Why he cancelled it, who's to say, but it COULD be something to do with this; https://nypost.com/2021/11/29/joe-biden-expected-10-percent-...

and the senate minority concluded that it was a lab leak; https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/aug/2/house-gop-re...

he's a POS shill, there's no point arguing with these kinds of people. Proof of work will outlast all consensus protocols

They should stop lowering expectations for students. There isn't any reason that they can't start teaching it in 6th grade.

Keystone's construction was shut down. It was going to be operational and now it's not due to an executive order that biden signed day 1 in office. That's shutting down a pipeline.

Line 5 is very much still possible to be shut down due to the democratic party's goal of creating a false energy shortage. Whitmer keeps complaining about it and I'm sure that harris and pelosi will tell biden to cancel it and he'll just go "okay".

"what pipelines did he close?" then you say "A google search only comes up with the Keystone XL and Line 5 pipelines". There's 2 rite there. Oil prices go up, choke supply by closing down 2 pipelines, and then complain/blame trump that prices are going up. Please explain your thought process joebiden.info

it's way cheaper and more humanitarian to secure value in Bitcoin using computer chips than it is to send the US military into foreign countries to support the petro-dollar

it's crazy! like, I'm sure tesla is loving having the backlog, but this isn't some transitory issue like cnn wants us to think.
