@Awesome_Jew_ Ethanol is cheaper for a reason, it is less energy dense. Also gasoline and diesel are oil based ethanol is an alcohol fermented primarily from corn so it is water based. You see it is cheaper and you think that is the only metric, putting water in my engine is a concern.
@DRCRYPTOCHANNEL@BitcoinCom Just because it has "Bitcoin" in the name don't automatically have a knee jerk reaction of Censorship!!! Roger did buy the domain for his own purposes.
@alexskopic@NathanJRobinson Started reading the article, first red flag " USAID cuts" and then how the UN official disapproves of Luckey, Stopped reading there as it is obvious that you are clueless. I would recommend following @DataRepublican You might learn something.
@RealRossU The unconscience mind pops these ideas into our conscience here and there. Perhaps there are self made prisons we've created ourselves mostly for security and safety that are holding us back from authentic natural growth.
@PolitiBunny 30 years after I graduated High school I finally was asked to produce my diploma. Contacted the High school in June, staff was off for summer break, finally got it in September.
@bennyjohnson The Patriot Act was an abomination in my opinion and would be happy if it was dismantled, but here we are and I think now would be a bad time to just open the gates. So now I'm supporting it??? Strange times indeed.
@Legion681@richardlcoxiv1@Rainmaker1973 The black part may be a display for AM/FM analog display, the Cartridge opening is on the left is too small for videotape cartridge. Plus first gen vcr's had the tape going into the vcr from the top, to fall onto the spindles.
Section 230, “the 26 words that created the internet,” was enacted 30 years ago this week. It was no rush-job—rather, it was the result of wise legislative deliberation and foresight, and it remains the best bulwark to protect free expression online.

I get that silver and gold are better money than fiat.
But I cannot accept living with the doubt that when they increase in dollar terms, I'll need to negotiate the price if I hold real physical bars.
I recently saw a post from a guy who claimed that holding precious metals and selling precious metals are two separate skills.
And I believe him.
With Bitcoin, you sell at the price you deserve. Not at the price dealers profit from.
Here's the fundamental problem I see with precious metals:
The buy-sell spread is brutal.
You made money on paper. But the dealer captures most of your upside through the spread:
• Dealer questions authenticity
• Dealer claims "market conditions"
• Dealer lowballs because you need liquidity now
And at that point you have no leverage. You're at their mercy.
But with Bitcoin the market price is the market price.
No negotiation. No spreads beyond the exchange fee.
No dealer taking a cut.
You see $88,000 on the screen?
You sell at $88,000 (minus ~0.1% fee)
That's it.
The transparency is the feature:
• No information asymmetry
• No dealer markup/markdown games
• Global spot price visible to everyone
• Instant settlement at fair market value
Physical precious metals require you to be a holder, a negotiator, a verifier and a logistics expert.
Bitcoin requires you to be...just a holder.
That's it.
The skill of holding shouldn't require the skill of selling.
But with physical metals, it does.
With Bitcoin, the market determines the price.
With precious metals, the dealer determines your price.
I respect gold and silver as stores of value.
But I refuse to accept a system where my upside is negotiable based on who I'm selling to.
Bitcoin fixes this.
@Matt_Pinner All 20 Glad "Dialed an international number from a landline" wasn't on the list because I never did that. When they broke up Ma Bell and we were with a baby Bell I remember that that was a new feature, in the 70's you needed an Operator to connect the call.
