I wonder how they vet applicants for the grant.
Hear me out:
- Get a non-US friend to claim the grant and put it towards the house.
- The friend sells it to the US citizen and goes back home.
US citizen gets 30k toward a home and non-US friend breaks even.

I don't stream, but https://xmrchat.com looks pretty interesting.

This is huge. I work at a grocery store, and wish mine took #monero, or crypto of any kind.
When we can trade crypto directly for the essentials, we've won.

Sounds like you installed the stagenet testing version instead of the mainnet version.

I love seeing the #monero tag on fire the last few days thanks to
https://github.com/retrnull/garnet
Something we've all been waiting for!
May it open the door to seeing tips in other forms of crypto in the future as well.

I don't post much. Most things I feel like saying have been said better by others already.

When I have to wake up early the worry I have of oversleeping makes me lose sleep.

I've heard one person describe it as the conservative version of The View.
I want to like Tim but he was at his best during/after 2008 and Occupy, and once he settled down I think he's stagnated.

Less, because I've nearly run out of sats. My attempts at topping up have been less than successful.
Tried to buy LN on an exchange. Failed. Something about a malformed LNURL, but it looks all fine to me.
Tried to open a channel over a month ago, still waiting. Tried to speed up the channel open with max fees, still waiting.
One day lightning will work for me... One day. I should write my attempts down for devs so they can see through a newbie's eyes...for sats of course.

Even the more mundane conveniences are sometimes inconvenient. I find myself wishing for manual windows at times, as odd as that sounds.

Australia was started as a penal colony after all. I'm sure that lingers in the national subconscious and is now able to express itself with the times.
As for Canada, we're the ones who largely refused to rebel under the British. We do as we're told and pretend that makes us better than the U.S. somehow, like the obedient "good" child. Our rep for being nice is really just arrogant posturing, we're a very authoritarian place.

There's nothing they can/will not justify with climate change.
In Canada, our bank notes are plastic polymer. Wouldn't surprise me if they use that to cease production, forcing a cashless society and CBDC adoption by claiming to fight the emissions of cash production.
Meanwhile, world leaders will continue to pump emissions from their private jets without consequence.

If I'm being robbed, I'll gently remind the robber that robbery is illegal. I'm sure they'll apologize for their confusion and change their ways.

It's pretty safe to say the greatest threat to Canada is the Canadian government.

Cut off in traffic by a cop car who didn't yield despite the yield to traffic sign.
Even the smallest laws are too much for "law enforcement" to follow. The laws are for us plebs, not them.

For example, Canada doesn't burn books, we shred or landfill them because its more environmentally responsible somehow.

I recall reports of children being kidnapped from parental custody by medical personnel (open theft) so at least 7.5 if not a full 8. 9 will be done slowly and indirectly so it won't even be seen as a 9 (it's already active depending on who you ask).
We've been hearing level 10 (denial) since the start.

History Channel had a special talking about the Log craze of the 90s. That happened when I was in elementary school.
Events in my lifetime are on the History Channel. I'm officially old now.

Good times.
I remember when games had both Windows and DOS modes. And you better guess the right IRQs during setup or things wouldn't work quite right.

I managed to get my Mom on XMPP, but the rest of my family would rather cut me out of their life than install an app on their phone.
For the rest on my end I got a VoIP phone number bridged to XMPP from jmp.chat. Less than ideal, but at least we can get a hold of each other when we need to.

Fun Canadian fact:
Canada has two suicide hotlines.
One if you want to be talked out of it, and one if you want to be guided through the process of getting the government to legally suicide you.

I use Openbox right now. Sleek and minimal.
I used i3 and Sway for a long time, but enough applications don't play nice with tiling (i.e. they design for stacking windows) that it's a hassle.
XFCE is pretty slick. Only nitpick I had was I couldn't get apps to start on a given desktop at startup, IIRC.
It's been too long since I used KDE or Gnome so I can't speak to those.

I had Gentoo on my laptop for several years and recently switched to OpenSUSE.
At a certain level it doesn't really matter as long as you're comfortable with the distro's tools.
I'm in a perpetual cycle of Gentoo -> (get sick of compiling) -> pre-compiled distros -> (wish I had control over compile-time package options) -> Gentoo -> …

I'm a cashier. The amount of people whose bank cards fail for no reason at all (NFT fails, chip failures, random declines) is too darn high. When people say #crypto can't work, I feel like it can't do any worse than fiat.
