Once someone hacked Bitcoin to give himself a bazillion bitcoin for free. Everyone else could see that - so they just patched the vulnerability - but Bitcoin was hacked.
Which means it’s probably still being hacked but if someone was smart they would steal small amounts from everywhere. Fly under the radar and because it’s “decentralized” if it’s small enough and random enough no voice would be loud enough to silence it.
You know what’s hilarious is that this is another problem that was long solved with the traditional centralized systems.
I will continue to laugh at the response of SWIFT after investigating the viability of block chain and crypto currency. I’m paraphrasing but it was basically “ya, nah”.
For anyone who knows SWIFT is the largest network of financial transfers in the world and not owned by any one company.
I’d rather just take the one time lump sum payout of shorting it and flying over the radar. (Which that dude probably did) If you patiently exploit the vulnerability, then someone else might figure it out or notice.
You seem to agree with me that a cryptocurrency without purpose is garbage bloat damaging the environment however monero has taken up a majority of darknet purchases I’m not advising anyone to use crypto as a medium other than anonymous purchase and holding any for longer than necessary may f*ck you because of its volatility sry if my point came across badly in my ONE SENTENCE which made no statements about holding IN ANY WAY
Fuck Bitcoin and all of its energy and storage wasting.
If we had nuclear fission/fusion creating all of our power, I wouldn’t care but we are still using oils and coal to produce electricity.
The world is seeing this effect, We didn’t even have a fucking winter in Canada. Shit what tends to be the coldest month of the year we have already seen positive double digits (please join the rest of the world in using real units murika), hell I’ve biked to work WEARING SHORTS last week
I’m not saying I’m for bitcoin (though I am for a form a currency outside the control of any one government). It’s just not going anywhere unless/until it’s compromised.
I’m sorry but a werewolf is a man who turns into a wolf on the full moon, a werehouse therefore should turn into a house on the full moon, not the other way around.
It’s not fair to compare people who are shrewd at business and take advantage of a tax system that is rigged in their favor to people who are literally stealing from their own people.
I’ve done it when I was sick and was it was taking a while for the rest to come up… So technically I was looking at my phone in-between the individual pukes
I mean in the olden days shitting was that time when you could really engage with the ingredients of that shampoo bottle. Or, you know, books and newspapers. Reading while shitting is probably common since both exist.
here in sweden almost everything has translations in the other nordic languages, and school toilets have heating elements, so before phones it was universal that all students ended up learning “ei sa peitää” which means “do not cover” in finnish
It sounds like we’re dealing with super similar things, except sometimes I can manage to eat some solid foods, and sometimes I can even keep it down! I survive on Ensure and electrolyte drinks like Gatorade/Liquid IV/Pedialyte, too. I’ve got a low weight but kinda bloated or distended (for lack of a better word - I’ve got intense brain fog, I’m sorry) gut area, too. I’ve got some theories* but I don’t have the money or resources or energy to try the chaos of doctors throwing things at me to see what sticks, or suggesting stupid shit I already tried a million times, or blaming it on me somehow, lol. So I’m just kind of dealing with it because of a mix of lack of money/resources and being burned out by the experiences of being ‘mysteriously’ chronically i’ll and trying to seek medical care. I hope and pray you figure it out soon and don’t get burned out!
*I’d like to suggest looking further into one of my theories/something someone else mentioned in that thread, because I’ve found that the way it affects a lot of people isn’t super well reflected by the stuff you usually find when reading about it, but I don’t want to disrespect your wishes! If you’re interested, let me know, and if not, I’d totally understand. I know how people can get with their unsolicited advice and how annoying and exhausting it can be, even if they’re just trying to help lol.
I wish you all the best and I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I hope the Mayo Clinic can help figure something out. I totally suck at replying and stuff because of my health issues, but you’re welcome to message me (or I can give you my email or number to text or discord or something, if you’d like) whenever you want to vent or anything to someone who has some understanding and overlapping experiences. Also I hope this all makes sense and isn’t too much of a mess to read - burn out and brain fog and stuff makes it tough to gather and convey my thoughts. But I wanted to at least try to say something because our experiences our so damn similar!! I really feel for you.
What’s your favorite flavor of ensure? I usually go for the Milk Chocolate (of the Plus variety since it has more calories and protein and all that.) Also I don’t know if you can stomach Pedialyte, but there’s a variety that has prevital prebiotics (or something like that - brain fog again, I apologize) and I don’t know if they make any difference, but I figure it’s probably good for my stomach issues. I dunno, just throwing that out there.
I wish you all the best and I’m sorry this comment is such a mess!! Please don’t feel any obligation to reply 💕
Thanks so much, I’m sorry you’re dealing with something similar. The only Ensure I drink is vanilla because you only have two options when you buy in bulk at Sam’s club is vanilla and chocolate and I don’t consume chocolate. There’s a John Oliver episode about the reason why on YouTube you can watch if you also never want to have chocolate again. I’ve told my chocolate-loving wife that she probably should remain ignorant of why herself. (It’s nothing that would make the chocolate itself physically disgusting, it’s an ethical issue.)

I would like to know. I’ve experienced a similar thing.
I forgot to mention in my other mess of a comment, but just in case you don’t know: a lot of times you can get Ensure prescribed and covered by insurance. IIRC there’s Gatorade-like electrolyte drink options you may be able to get covered, too. It might help free up some money for other things
As someone with chronic idiopathic hyperemesis, this is a mood.
I vomit too often and for too long to find anything zen about it. I spend the entire time heaving anxiously worrying over the state of my tooth enamel and trying to remember if I ate beets or chocolate last night to explain that colour or if I need to call an ambulance.
I vomit while using my phone. I’ll play a podcast, video, music, etc
If I’m going to be heaving for 20 minutes 2-4 times a day every day for a few months, I’m not doing it in silence with my own thoughts.
I’ve been dealing with this on and off for about 7 years now, twice a year I’ll just have a 1-2 months straight where I can’t keep anything down, not even water unless I’m vigilant about stretching out my water intake over a whole day one tiny sip at a time. Then just as suddenly as it starts, one day I’ll wake up and I just magically won’t feel nauseous, and it’s like I was never even sick!
Because it goes away on its own I’ve never been able to get to the bottom of it. When it starts happening, I book in with a doctor, by the time I finally see the doctor, the “flare up” has passed and any tests the doctor runs when I’m not sick are always normal. So doctors will just blame my migraine disorder for it, and move on. I recently learned about Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome so that’s something I’m going to be talking to my doctor about when I see him next.
That really sucks and I’m sorry to hear it. If you can call it lucky, I never actually vomit in that nothing ever comes out. It’s always been dry heaving. I couldn’t even imagine how hard it must be to not even be able to easily drink water. I really hope you find a solution soon and I highly recommend sending all of your medical records to the Mayo Clinic like I did (you can start by filling out a form on their website) if you think your insurance will cover it. The worst they can do is turn you down.
I find your situation just as sucky, sometimes I find dry heaving is worth because there is no end, at least if I’m bringing something up there is an end in sight.
Unfortunately and fortunately I’m not American, we don’t really have anything like the Mayo clinic, but at least my doctors and specialist appointments have all been less than $500 out of pocket every time.
Then just as suddenly as it starts, one day I’ll wake up and I just won’t feel nauseous, and it’s like I was never even sick!

Yeah, this part hits with me. Every single time I go to the doctor, the symptoms disappear, and I question whether I really need a doctor. Then they reappear again :-/
It’s like the sickness is avoiding being detected or sth… Like honestly, it stops the exact day of the appointment. And it’s worst on friday evening and saturday, where there’s definitely no impulse doctor visit. I’m being played.
Oh they apparently didn’t experience the real diarrhea shitting, it’s so Zen when your body wants to turn itself inside out for so long that you don’t feel anything anymore. And the feeling after it as if you were raped with a continent. So Zen.
Android is one of those rare examples of a Linux kernel not being paired with GNU tools. I believe Android wrote their own versions of all the tools they wanted.
The kernel is also extremely locked down by default. They very intentionally designed the OS in such a way that every facet of the kernel is kept abstracted away from you. It’s about as black-boxed as you can get, to the point where the fact that it’s Linux underneath is almost meaningless.
