Had to look this up too. Wasn’t aware either. This is what the machine brains ⚙️ 🧠 told me
In cellular biology, **vaults** are large, barrel-shaped ribonucleoprotein complexes found in eukaryotic cells. They are among the largest cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs), with a size of approximately **70 nm** in length and **40 nm** in diameter. Here's a breakdown of their key features:
### 1. **Structure**:
- **Shape**: Resemble hollow octagonal barrels with a "cap" at each end, reminiscent of cathedral vaults (hence the name).
- **Components**:
- **Major vault protein (MVP)**: Forms the structural shell (≈70% of the particle).
- **Vault RNA (vRNA)**: Small, non-coding RNA molecules (≈5% of mass) bound to the interior.
- **Other proteins**: Telomerase-associated protein 1 (TEP1) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 4 (PARP4).
### 2. **Function**:
The exact biological role remains debated, but proposed functions include:
- **Transport**: Shuttling molecules (e.g., mRNA, drugs) between the nucleus and cytoplasm.
- **Cellular defense**: Protecting cells from xenobiotics (e.g., chemotherapeutic drugs) by sequestering or exporting them.
- **Stress response**: Involved in resistance to apoptosis (cell death) under stress conditions.
- **Nuclear pore association**: Vaults localize near nuclear pores, suggesting a role in nucleocytoplasmic transport.
### 3. **Relevance to Disease**:
Vaults are linked to **multidrug resistance in cancer**, as elevated MVP levels correlate with poor response to chemotherapy. They may pump drugs out of cells or shield critical pathways.
Despite their discovery in the 1980s, vaults remain enigmatic, with ongoing research to unravel their precise mechanisms and applications in biomedicine.

Every year, without fail. On one hand, it’s annoying to suddenly have the gym crowded, but ultimately I think it’s awesome. Even if only a handful of the new crowd sticks with it and makes fitness a part of their life. Making decisions to better your life and health should always be applauded, even if it inconveniences your own routine slightly.
LFG!!

I once sent Sats to a website that was linked to a chicken feeder. When you sent the lightning payment, it triggered the feeder to throw out a bit of chicken feed in realtime, there was a live video stream of the whole process so that you saw the chickens run over to eat. It was really fun 😂
It was a few years back and I wish I could remember the site.

I’m starting a little project to see how it goes.
Just picked up a used S19pro. I’m going to mod it and use it to heat a home that currently has an electric furnace. By my calculations it should cost about the same to run as the furnace, but with the added benefit of generating sweet kyc- free sats.
I’ll take photos of the process and try to remember to post updates.
Anyone that has done this already, feel free to chime in with suggestions. I’m currently looking for a set of fan shrouds to go to 8” ducting.

Heavens no. Cooking with it is the best. It’s fully saturated, so doesn’t oxidize as readily as seed oils. Contains minimal amounts of PUFA. Loaded with vitamins/minerals.
It’s the best way to fry, sauté, etc etc
Plus I make a killer skin balm with it.

My take on the HODL mindset? Bitcoin represents hope. Hope that the system can be improved, and reduce/eliminate the top down corruption that has become so prevalent. It is our best chance to fix the world.
Without that hope, people would be more likely to sink into despair and we need all the hope we can get. So it is clung to like a proverbial and literal life raft.
And I’m there for the ride.
