@ChrisAnn222 @AudreyStach @NateAFischer Yes absolutely and the perfect time to do this is after everyone else has been seated. This way they can time as much time as needed.

@ChrisAnn222 @AudreyStach @NateAFischer This doesn't make sense. Everyone on the plane is seated once they board. Overhead bin space can be allocated and reserved when it's known that there's such a need.

@BuzzPatterson I love you Buzz but this reads like AI slop 🤮

Can you explain the double counting?

If STRC is at $89 and I buy $10k worth and one year later it's returned to par and the rate was at 11.5% throughout that year, then:

The $10k purchased 112 shares which earned $1,288 which is 12.8% on the $10,000 and the shares are worth 112*$100 = $11,200. So you've made 12.8% plus the unrealized capital gain, no?

@LukeDashjr @reinn________ @CorySwan Luke, under what metric does "most of the network support it" ?

[Alex @AlexOf4801]

@LukeDashjr @NateBornAgain What if God isn’t bound by human categories of ‘spouse’ or ‘fornication’ and instead divine reality is ineffable and beyond anything our logic or language can capture?

@TheBrancaShow @kmfraser99 omg this was savage 😂

[Alex @AlexOf4801]

@ChrisRBarron @FowardAssist Ditto.

[Alex @AlexOf4801]

@grok @TheNovaSun @MarioNawfal Nope, he wasn't hit while leaping the counter. The robber was standing still. Not sure why Grok has started to make claims like having "re-reviewed the footage frame-by-frame" when clearly that did not happen.

@grok @TheNovaSun @MarioNawfal Center-mass placement is an AI hallucination. The first shot was a headshot, there is no center-mass shot that drops a human instantaneously.

[Alex @AlexOf4801]

This is hilarious. An Iranian warship would be vaporized before it came anywhere near U.S. territorial waters.

Iran doesn't even have a blue-water navy.

The U.S. has satellites, P-8 Poseidon aircraft, nuclear submarines, carrier strike groups, and allied networks. The entire hemisphere is tracked in real time. A hostile ship would be annihilated before it came within 1,000 miles of the United States.

@phostenix @EricLDaugh Underrated comment

@Ryan_Shea_1 @Entouarnt4 @ryQuant A security failure in one organization could lead to a theft that results in market chaos that takes years or decades to resolve.

@kyleichan How many times was the battery swapped during that 13.1 miles ?

Imagine if I said to you "Earth is an uninhabitable place to live"

You look at me sideways and say "What?"

I reply "Planets are awful. Pluto/Uranus/Neptune, you'd freeze. Mercury, you'd burn. Venus, you'd be poisoned. Jupiter and Saturn, you'd be crushed. Mars: nothing to breath.

It's true. Most of the planets, including over 5700 exoplanets, are really really bad places to live.

But the conclusion that this means earth is uninhabitable is obviously a basic logic fail.

Now imagine someone tells you "Bitcoin is a scam"

Again, as someone who has used Bitcoin and understands how Bitcoin works, you say "What?"

They reply "Most crypto has gone to zero. VCs dump on retail. Memecoins are complete rugpulls. Pre-mined tokens, you get diluted to oblivian. ICOs, you're the exit-liquidity for founders and early investors.

It's true. Most of the thousands of cryptocurrencies launched since 2009 have been complete scams.

But again, the conclusion that this makes Bitcoin a scam is equally a basic logic 101 fail.

Earth is the only planet with a breathable atmosphere, the right temperature band, and liquid water.

Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency with the combination of no insider enrichment, a fixed supply that nobody can change, and a 17-year unhacked decentralised ledger.

In both cases, some very special and unique features make the general rule inapplicable to the one obvious exception.

This logical fallacy has been around long enough to have a name. Aristotle spotted it about 2,300 years ago and called it the "Fallacy of Accident". You take a pattern that's generally true for a category and force it onto the one member where the evidence clearly shows it doesn't fit.

Other examples of the logic fail :

- No-one I know can run a sub 4-minute mile, therefore Hicham El Guerrouj can't run a four minute mile
- "Drugs are bad" so we should ban prescription medication

A few days ago, Ben McKenzie sat on Jon Stewart's podcast and committed the same logic-fail: citing crypto's failures as his evidence against Bitcoin.

He's not the only one to fail in this way. Paul Krugman, Elizabeth Warren, Jamie Dimon, Christine Lagarde all conflated Bitcoin with all crypto for years. Many journalists still fail to distinguish Bitcoin from all other crypto (though the better ones are starting to).

In fact, this fallacy has been deployed for years with impunity by people who either don't know, or forgot to mention, that Bitcoin has unique features making it materially different from all other crypto

The irony is that Bitcoiners and crypto-critics are on the same page: the rugpulls, the insider enrichment, the tokens engineered to extract value from retail investors are all things that Bitcoiners like @CorySwan and others have been vocally calling out for over a decade, long before category-conflating journalists and actors from teen dramas decided they had an opinion about it.

It's not that hard

Unless you have the attention-span of a gnat-fly, you can easily do 5 mins research (AI-assisted if you really want) and discover either what the core differences are between Earth and all other planets, between Bitcoin and all other crypto.

Earth is an incredibly, uniquely habitable planet for humans to live.

Bitcoin is an incredible, uniquely suitable form of currency for humans to use

@geobey11 @saylor @RookieXBT The video addresses this directly.

[Alex @AlexOf4801]

@anomsiiwa @elonmusk It's functionally equivalent (but it's easier for people to grab onto "universal HIGH INCOME")

[Alex @AlexOf4801]

@wholisticguy @w_s_bitcoin Price fluctuations are one thing, A 1.7M coin overhang potentially causing unpredictable and unprecedented multi-year market chaos is another. A person might recognize that. That’s who.
