Yes. Idk if they still do, but they use to throw an extra 100k sats on the channel, so you wouldn't have the channel automatically filled on your side too. So if you received 300k, they'd give you a 390k channel with 290k on your side and 100k on theis

Un gilipollas is an asshole, a dick, an idiot, so una gilipollez (sing.) or gilipolleces (plur.) is what a gilipollas says. Broadly, nonsense, bullshit, stupid things.
It's a very Spain Spanish term, although other Latam dialects have derived terms (see Argentinian "Gil").
All that said, the term has a very broad meaning and has no clear one-to-one equivalent in English - or as the Rap Punk Metal band Def Con Dos puts it "Gilipollas no tiene traducción": https://youtu.be/zubodsu24q4?si=wwS_aBtMdSWJrd5O

A quick literature review seems to point out that most negative effects appear in pre-adult long-term users. However many studies call for caution due to the lack of serious, independent, double-blind studies.
Personally, I'd be cautious with using it on a daily basis for prolonged periods. Generally speaking, using hormonal supplements isn't the safest route for chronic treatments.

The people that needs to fix it is braindeadly consuming state propaganda as information and applauding EU overreach and liberties cuts because "it protects them".
At national level, the different shades of "socialdemocrats", " liberals", and "conservatives" keep the theater going to maintain the 24h news cycle noisy enough so people either fights each other or grow tired of it all and disconnects. That way the maintain a facade of political discussion.
Nevertheless, in the EU national parliaments are very limited on what they can do, a bit less every day. Most EU regulations are imposed on all state members and can only be superseded by even more restrictive regulations at national levels.
And what do they do at EU level all these parties that are seemingly so opposed at national level? Vote as the uniparty they really are.
Voting harder is not only futile, it legitimizes the whole circus.

In the EU, your vote matters even less than in most other Western democracies.
There's two big blocks controlling the EU Parliament, and they vote the same 85% of the times. And if something really matters, then they'll use one of the multiple branches of the unelected EU bureaucracy to regulate it.

I don't hear much talking about it here, but JPMorgan has been fined, once again, for financial crimes. Love you Jaime, keep the meme alive 🫶

It's important to keep in mind many of these folks are using the most unsustainable agricultural practices that have ever existed only because they're heavily subsidized from the EU and their national governments.
Turns out things like drilling thousands of illegal ponds into the aquifers of semi-arid lands to water the same fields of wheat and barely soaked in chemicals for fifteen or twenty years has a price too.
Support to the farmers, yes. But to those that take care of the lands they work. Those who drain all life out of it and turn it into barren lands while asking for more subsidies can go fuck themselves.

Not sure about the exact tax laws were you are, but were I sit, you have to account for every sat you've bought to calculate your cost basis and then calculate capital gains/losses every time you sell. That means moving the sats around changes nothing.
Sats received through other means need to be accounted for too, at different costbasis depending on why you got them. Gifted sats at a cost basis of 0 (essentially making your purchase sats more expensive to sell), mined sats at spot price basis. Sats you got from goods and services go at spot price at the time of payment and also require you to pay VAT (~25% of the received fiat value). Sats in any account with your name are (even the IOUs from exchanges/mining pools) are considered yours a soon as they land on your balance.
Sats you pay for goods and services are considered as sold for fiat and that fiat used to pay, so you should declare capital wins/losses everytime you spend sats. That includes network fees.
Not complying is almost a given considering how extremely hard it is to follow all the above and keep track of it all. Yet, it's on you if you don't. Flip side, it's too hard for them to check you do all by the book, so they'll mostly believe whatever you say. Once you make peace with the fact that even if you try, you won't comply 100%, it's a short road towards "If even trying I won't comply, why try at all"

I, for one, feel modestly better now that I know only our governments can covertly fund terrorist operations around the world.

I'm going to call bullshit on this one. I work on academia, surrounded by scientists most of time, most of my days. Haven't heard anyone doing this. I personally wouldn't mind since basing the calendar on fantastic events seems kind of dumb. Yet, never ever have I seen anyone doing it.

Seriously thinking to start some hydroponics this fall to have fresh veggies during the winter.
What's your experience with it #grownostr? What plants should I avoid as a newcomer?

Elon's master plan to deliver a super-app for twitter users:
1- Buy the company at a higher price than the market.
2- Take the company private.
3- Set the dumpster on fire so people migrates to #nostr.
Fucking legend.

Mass Adoption Will Be Their Honeypot (The Fight Won't Be In The Shadows, part II):
The time will come, in the not-so distant future, when Bitcoin will be everywhere. When we will be able to use sats to pay for a beer at our local pub, or half across the world. When every bank will offer BTC accounts, and every asset manager will offer BTC investment plans. A time when mass adoption will be a reality. For the naïve observer, it will look like the fight it's over. It will look like Bitcoin has finally won. That, will be their honeypot.
Mass adoption will come from legacy entities offering POS systems that accept Bitcoin and send the sats directly to the merchants BTC account. It will come from banks offering 3% FIAT yield on BTC saving accounts, and FIAT cashbacks on your BTC expenditures. The path to mass adoption will be paved by FIAT/BTC dual credit/debit cards issued by banks. It will use LN/L2 infrastructure set up Visa, MasterCard and other legacy payment processor.
For most people, Bitcoin will be so embedded into the legacy financial systems that they won't be able to tell them apart. They will see that depositing their BTC into their bank shaves a 0.5% off of their mortgage rate, and that their credit score increased when they opened a BTC savings account. Merchants will see that POS systems that accept Bitcoin are cheaper and their fees are lower. They will see their margins are increased if they accept BTC payments, and even more if the payment is settled in FIAT on their end. They will see all of this, but they won't know why.

The Fight Won't Be In The Shadows:
"First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win"
This is a well know quote around this space. Countless times repeated, it has almost become a mantra for many bitcoiners. And yet, a question remains: How do they fight you?
Many, myself included, assumed that the fight would come in the form of ostracism. We assumed that our enemies would use their powers, those of nation-states, to block the access of their citizens to on-/off-ramp mechanism - when not directly banning and illegalizing the possession, paticipation and use of the Bitcoin network.
Such form of attack, however, is futile. By hindering the flow of money out of the FIAT system, Bitcoin's adoption could be pushed back for quite some time, maybe even decades, but never stopped. Brewed in a environment full of misfits, with core principles deeply rooted in self-sovereignty, and shielded by cryptography, Bitcoin was born in the shadows. As such, it cannot be stopped by casting it back into the shadows. If anything, that'd make it stronger, furthering the development of privacy enhancing features. Even today, half of the Lighting Network is run over Tor. Restrictions would only mean more LN, more RoboSats, more VPNs, more Tor, and, ultimately, more people pulled into the shadows.
The events of the recent days, have made me realize that we won't be fighting in the shadows. Our enemies, following the teachings of Sun Tzu, have chosen the terrain that it's more favorable to them, under the light.
The attacks won't be bans and blocks. The attacks will be ETFs from investment managers, custodial services provided by banks, paper Bitcoin, fractional reserves, re-lending, and the whole plethora of FIAT-fuckery techniques. The fight will happen in plain sight, where they control the narratives pushed by the mass-media. It will happen on the parquet floors of the financial markets, on the high offices of the banks, on the halls of their elitist forums and the corridors of the parliaments; where they know how to manipulate, deceive, lie and lobby. We will not be fighting for not being pushed out of the system, we will be fighting for not being phagocytized by it.

Setting up Umbrel to run in an external SSD attached to an old laptop is proving to be an absolute pain in the ass. The #Bitcoin node synchronization was taking so long that I have decided to download the blockchain on another PC and then copy it to the SSD. Otherwise it'd take me a life to have the node up and running.
