There is a relevant XKCD for everything, unfortunately.

Fuck you.

TFW a shitcoin uses your initials.

Better yet, here's what they say to you if you want to try to run a mainnet validation node.

So decentralized you have to ask permission.

I'm gonna have to send them an email for lols.

On the Mobile Coin GitHub page, hosted in the US, with US developers... 😂

$9,000 incentive to falsely claim you died of COVID. They're getting desperate to pump up COVID deaths.

Fact is, reported US deaths from COVID just keep falling in spite of all this hype about variants.

lololol They're actually rolling out Intel SGX coin.

"MobileCoin is a payment network with no central authority."

That is a lie. Intel is a central authority if you rely on SGX.

Gov. DeSantis on media lies, "we're punching back"

This could get interesting if he has any guts.

Texas Rangers vs Blue Jays today. 100% full to capacity, hardly any masks.

...yet cases, deaths, positivity rate, and long-term-care cases are all continuing to go down after a month with all lockdown restrictions lifted: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/texas-hitting-record-low-numbers-covid-19-cases-hospitalizations-deaths-positivity-rate-statistics-april-2021/287-4723aa91-4172-4361-b90f-958f881dcb0c

Brilliant bit of anti-authoritarianism.

(plus, the fact they're so easy to forge is good too)

Stock art, go home, your drunk.

TIL the Amazon Rainforest is being deforested much slower than I thought.

TIL my microwave uses 100% of the 15A a North American plug can provide.

The voltage on that circuit doesn't sag appreciably from 120V under load, so it's using 200W more than the nameplate says it should, 1600W.

I'm a bit surprised that Black & Decker used such close margins; my kettle draws a more reasonable 13A.

It's no wonder they changed the building codes here to require 20A outlets in kitchens... 😂

Lol, BitPay is so hilariously useless.

For research purposes I actually went through that nonsense. They wanted a photo of my passport (NOT a scan!), a selfie which had to be taken on my phone (uploading a photo was NOT good enough), and of course my address and date of birth.

...and after all that nonsense, the invoice timed out, so I couldn't pay anyway. So I don't know if they still do the payment protocol nonsense - BitPay is such a joke that they probably do. 😂

How accurate is this translation?

Reminder: Sweden hasn't done any worse than the EU average.

Overall mortality figures confirm this: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

Lockdown achieve nothing.

You know, you could have just used some numbers...

Danish study finding that Long-Term Care Facility residents temporarily had a 40% _higher_ rate of infection after the first dose, with the 95% CI ruling out any 1st dose benefit at all. Same as the UK and Israel have found.

A week after second dose, overall effectiveness in LTCF residents was just 64%

Sounds like the failure of the flu vaccine all over again...
