Finding it so interesting the physical repulsion people have of Nigel Farage, “he’s going to deport anyone with an indefinite right to remain” (who are benefits), he’ll do all sorts of mean stuff such as not accepting illegal, undocumented migrants, and want to deport criminals and rapists. What on earth could he do in government?!?!? But for me, it’s not him, but it’s about what has led to his popularity. A generation of people that have been lied to by the globalists pursuing their aims, leaving those “awful people who cheer him” behinds and forgotten. They want something different, something better and it isn’t even about him getting elected, but the small chance that the existing parties will have a moment of introspection and think, “if my grandma saw the policies I’m voting for, would she’d tell me to stop to being such a stupid fucking prick” (maybe my gran wouldn’t have said exactly that, but it would have hurt more coming from her) Those people who are scared of Farage have been making hay for years while others in society have been served up shit. When I hear people spouting all this fear about the Farage boogie man, I have to bite my lip with these privileged “elites/protected” that just don’t understand the world they live in. Cutting benefits? I call that returning taxes to the people who do the work. He is not the boogie man, they simply don’t see the Fabian monsters who have been pulling the strings since 1997!!!

Ga nostriches, spent most of the day looking through a paper building a model on Bitcoin’s direct and indirect environmental impact. 6 authors, all the doctorates and what look like decent positions. Work cited mora et al. (2018, Bitcoin will boil the ocean garbage), de Vries (2018, bitcoin fud patient zero cheers @Daniel Batten ) and chamanara et al (2023, expertly responded to by @Margot Paez / jyn urso), doesn’t really present any data, cooked up some meaningless equations, used “a python programming language” for some of the matrix analysis (🧐) and suggested the miners in the US were 45 times less energy efficient than those used in Azerbaijan (🧐). And one of the authors is associated with a publisher that has dealt with mass retractions………. Shall I kick the hornets’ nest and copy in the authors to the message to the editor in Chief?

@Ben Justman🍷 I hoped beyond hope that this might happen, but my visitor from your side of the pond brought me a gift. 🫡🙌 Two bottle and a rejected bottle box, still to be collected.

Gm nostriches, out with #dogstr enjoying the Welsh sunshine!!!!

Gm nostriches, over visiting #mumstr with the family for an extended family thanksgiving style dinner. Catching a few moments of peace with #coffeechain served in a deliberately quiet way. Really starting to be indifferent towards the last leg (less funny and too leftie). Looked forward to watching “mr green” on it last night, but outside a few pithy one liners, he was a bit dull. The tax the billionaires was his first policy line (hmmm, no.1 policy is stealing from the most productive?). Then interestingly, my mother (generally into politics) didn’t know who he was. The comment on this pic feels pure lowest common denominator, “yeah he says stuff that sounds good and takes stuff away from people I envy and I say are bad”. The comments on climate were laughable, “we don’t need nuclear” but zero mention of batteries, oh and wind technology is technically much older that nuclear, but no one ever points that out. Also, who pays for all the stimulus you’re handing out, business and the rich will leave in droves!!!! Envy of politics is a really slippery slope towards destruction, whoa, a touch dark, but it’s a deadly sin, view it as such. @Peter McCormack just getting into Ant Middleton, hmmm, better not have him start to play in the car this weekend, lots of lefties could be triggered.

Gm nostriches, quiet moments of the day with my #coffeechain with @BTC Sessions in my ear, repo rates appear to be picking up something ain’t right, silent IPO (great read @Guy Swann) is well underway, and we ended a 134 day streak over $100k, but also I grabbed some sub£80k sats (2020 self losing his shit). Take is easy freaks, get you house in order and following listening to @npub1w4ds...3vhw with Mr R Gnome, maybe consider putting the latest version of knots in a similar group to core v30. Can someone please “just” (appreciate it is a massive task) take v29 and gradually add security fixes as they some into the latest version……. Hmmmm, is it time for me to get out my 2002 lecture material on c++ coding?!?!? #catstr unfussed. Local pumpkins turning on their own kind.
