Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

If you were on the fence about ChatGPT privacy concerns, the recent court ruling should be the impetus to look elsewhere. Marks does a great job explaining the current landscape and why we owe it to ourselves to pursue a better way forward.

We are supposed to burn coins because ~5% of supply might be sold? Retarded. That happens in stocks all the time and no one says NVDA needs to but shares. If a quick large dump of Bitcoin scares you then Lengthen your time horizon.

The argument that we won’t see it coming is self-defeating. If governments have an incentive to go dark, then why do they flip, and then put up the biggest billboard sign imaginable by stealing bitcoin? Imagine the US or China developing a relevant quantum computer in secret and then spoiling the secret to steal some bitcoin, ridiculous.
