I have been buying groceries through giftcards for over 3 years now and i have not died of hunger or dehydration. The cold is admittedly a bit harder. I dont have that one figured out yet.

But I am able to take my Monero and use it to interact with the brands and companies that everybody else uses.

What I was saying above is that for companies that accept different types of cryptocurrency directly, Monero is always in the top one or two spot.

Closest by far is Monero. They are actually willing to spend it as a currency, and when looking at statistics from companies that accept different cryptocurrencies, Monero is always either number one or number two on the list.

I know right, total insanity.

If they are any kind of intelligent, very little of it, because they will put it into Monero, and they will leave it there, and if they need fiat a little bit at a time, they’ll pull it very slowly into fiat, as needed.

Totally unaffected. Haven’t even visited that site for several years.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I used Google search.

Though if I had to guess, it would be something around several years.

I get my groceries delivered once a month from Instacart because I’m blind, so if I wanted to go grocery shopping myself, I would have to spend money on an Uber to take me there, then get a shopping assistant to help me pick up the stuff I need, and then pay for an Uber back home, so it actually ends up being cheaper to just get it delivered, and I can see what I’m purchasing in the app.

It’s the only way to do it though, so you have no other choice.

Overheat as there is no way to disperse heat in a vacuum

This is incorrect. You cannot do convection heat removal in a vacuum because there’s no air. However, you can still do radiant heat dispersal.

So you dump your heat into something that has a lot of surface area with which to radiate it away from your components.

Space is either very hot or very cold, depending on whether you are in light or shadow. If one side is constantly exposed to light, then there must be radiators on the other side to radiate that heat back off into the cold.

An ad blocker is an internet condom, and anybody who doesn’t use one is a fucking idiot.

I’ve been using device level ad blocks for something like a decade now and have been using DNS level plus device level ad blocks for about two or three years now.

When I first heard about this bankruptcy, one of my first thoughts was, here it goes. This is only the very beginning of the landslide though, so it’s going to take a while before it reaches the bottom, and it’s going to pick up a lot more debris on the way.

Same

Yeah. I did use an open weight model LLM to scan an app that I use and it came up with a critical severity issue and I checked on it first to see if I could reproduce the problem before ever submitting it to the developer as a problem.

Turns out it was actually a legitimate security problem that has now been fixed.

You’re right, but for now, until the reticulum networks get built up, Tor and I2P are going to be the only ways possible. The CuckNet will be a useless place to be, and the only place you’ll actually be able to get real information is on the dark web.

I mean, I just forget about it, because I know for a fact that when I pay taxes, it’s going to be wasted. So, it’s just a write-off. That does not mean that I’m going to hold the rest of my wealth in their failing fiat currency that they can inflate away at any time for a bailout, which is also another form of tax.

Surveillance coin? No way.

I did not say which hard money I use. I just said that I use a hard money.

The smallest amount that I can, since I know that it will be wasted.

But only just enough to keep thugs from showing up at my door with weapons and throwing me in a cage which is something that states seem to enjoy doing.

Give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. They print fake currency, and therefore, if they want fake currency, I’m willing to give it to them, and keep the rest of my money in actual things that hold value.

As much as this sucks, I’m kind of, quite frankly, okay with it. Because I’ve decided that holding fiat currency isn’t worth doing. I hold my money in real hard money and then only convert what I need back to fiat when I need it.

They can bail out and inflate all they want, but they’re not going to be able to reduce my purchasing power.

I don’t know who will pay the bill for it, but I do know that it won’t be me.
