    Tell me about the tangible, useful things (like groceries, vehicles, living spaces) these assets/positions have bought for Bitcoin owners.

    It will for a bit. The people who build UI frameworks in wasm will either make it a priority or they'll add it later. It sucks but this is the way we're heading. I'm not sure web d…

    Can your family give you a hug just as you enter the gate to board your plane? Because that's how it was before 9/11 in the States.

    If measles is more common now that anti-vax is more popular, that's a problem worth addressing. We had a known, working solution, so yeah, it does seem like child abuse.

    Just occurred to me, as "heat waves" become the norm for longer periods of time, I'm sure there will be people arguing for the cost-savings of not having to cool the school buildin…

    I don't know about your neighborhood, but in ours, there are no sidewalks and a bunch of teens drive as fast as they possibly can.

    Yeah. I've always been obsessed with music, and what I miss about Best Buy circa 1998 is walking into a sea of CDs with $20 and likely leaving with 2 new CDs. I never understood ho…

    I'd only refine it to "your caretaker(s) are talking to you, pay attention and answer." A child also can't understand when their impulse to follow impulse is harmful. Someone shoul…
