What potato stays hot for 15 years?

Is it? The ATMs have been all over the place for half a decade at this point.

As for fees it cost me 3 cents to send a $50 Litecoin transaction a few days ago. If I did that with Bitcoin it would have cost me $8 in transaction fees so you're right there.

Now days there's a coin for every purpose.

  • Bitcoin = gold bars

  • Litecoin = mundane transactions

  • Monero = digital cash

Crypto has been around for 15 years already. Time flys.

I feel like I can still navigate through it because I did the previous levels but the difficulty is definitely higher.

We're now on level 35 and n00bs are still coming online. A kid or grandma have no shot at defeating the boss AI video or deepfake on this level, hell I don't even have a great win rate on them.

And you get crucified by them if you bring it up.

I understand battling the pull of phones and tablets with kids is hard but you're lying to your self if you think it's going to work out ok if you give in, every other kid has one how bad could it go really?

This was talked about briefly in October but it's still flying under the radar imo. The Oct 7th attack took place on these very left leaning pacifist communties who believed in peace and liked to work with the Palestinians and their cause, more than most Israelis.

Many of the kibbutzniks who experienced October 7 can't bear to hear Arabic and want to see Gaza erased.

The trauma is stronger than their worldview

I was wondering if it might push those with that pacifist/hippy outlook on life to change and it appears it has.

When even the hippies are yearning for scorched earth tactics it doesn't bode well for winding down of military operations anytime soon. It also makes me think we're far more likely to see more serious military action roll into Lebanon within a few months.

TL:DR RIP peace. We never knew ye.

I bet it could be done if it was purpose built and not a big old slow one that was designed for huge car and train traffic sized tunnels.

Make it smaller for man sized tunnels, it will be much faster and cheaper. Basically drone-ified. Could really catch the Russians off guard.

It would also help reduce the chances of it being detected above ground while it's being moved to the starting point and bleow ground when it's digging.

Russian air defense struggles as it is I doubt they'd be fully prepared to monitor for tunnel activity.

The price is ridiculous for what they get. And it's in Texas of all places.

You could find a nice older house in the midwest with land for under 100k.

Reading the title I was like man the Onion is getting a little edgy until I read the source. Truth is stranger than fiction.

can't win a general with him.

You'd think so but he is leading in the polls and the bettting markets.

I think turnout amongst young voters will be lower than last time for Biden since they have been brainwashed by TikTok on the Gaza issue. Even though the lesser of two evils is clearly Biden especially on Israel and Gaza.

So unless a couple of key states kick him off the ballot Trump will win the electoral college vote. While losing the popular vote by the widest margin to date.

Depends on how much it cost. Looks like a nice light lunch if the price was right.
