And by immigrants, they actually mean anyone that isn’t white.

For that price, buy a sewing machine and make something better, like clothes with pockets.

I think your definition of a global reserve currency is a bit out of touch. I would argue that there is no requirement for a global reserve currency to be untraceable but even if there was.

There are other assets that are untraceable and could still perform that function if it was a need.

As far as being fungible, and easy to transport, any digital currency would meet these requirements. It’s not like banks are physically shipping USD bills to anyone.

Right now, the US government is struggling to pay troops during the shutdown. And even if there were no shutdown, we are paying more in interest on the national debt then we do for the entire military industrial complex. So I don’t think the claim that the USD is backed by it’s military is a strong argument anymore, especially not if things continue on their current course or if any thing negative happens.

Honestly, I think a new reserve currency is inevitable. And I’m betting on it happening next year after the US has its first default.

I think it’s more likely to be some type of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) which might be claimed to be backed by something tangible to enable global buy in but won’t really be.

I find it hard to believe USD to be switched for another fiat currency after its failure, but it would be cheaper than having a currency backed by gold and easier to control. I guess at the end of the day if one currency is more trusted that is enough to make the switch.

Good point, forgot about that

Would agent Cooper be taking orders from Kash Patel and hunting Antifa for the FBI or would he resign and do his own thing?

I’d argue 1st Amendment rights and the weaponization of the legal system are also important.

Are you talking about this trial right?

Judge calls alleged conditions at Chicago-area immigration site ‘disgusting’

We need to stay aware of how this and similar trials unfold around the country.

Assuming they get access to a lawyer and aren’t disappeared. How can they identify the “agents” that are involved in this attack?

Twin Peaks (1990) gives one a good sense of American breakfasts.

This is my extrapolation of economic realities.

I am not an economist however.

Economic wealth is when your money works for you. If you have to work for your money, you’re not wealthy.

Damn, I always confuse them

Every time a bell rings someone uses Sora to make 5 seconds worth of content portraying Jake Paul being gay, an angle gets his wings it consumes as much power as running a microwave for an hour.

Ok yeah I get the point but like…I’ve literally went places on my bike and got sweaty and stinky because it was too hot.

It’s the reason I decided to spend a decent chunk of change on an electrification kit for my bike, along with some tools needed to install the kit. Now 30 min bike ride is a lot easier to do with a torque sensing motor and with exceptions of ice, extreme heat, and mud (no disks brakes) I’ll bike instead of drive.

But still, the weather is a concern because physics still exist

I think the heat is a vaild excuse unless you are walking/biking to a place with showers.

Electrifying my bicycle made a 30 min bike ride a lot less sweaty but in 90°F weather, I’m going to be stinky no matter what I do outside.

The TM 31-210 manual appeared as an “Easter egg” in the 1995 CGI animated film, Toy Story. In the scene where Woody is trapped under a blue plastic box in Sid’s bedroom, it’s possible to see behind him a document titled “TM 31-210 Improvised Interrogation Handbook”, a clear reference to the actual document.

Remember kids, if you want to look up something that you don’t want the government to know about, don’t use the internet to do it.

Also, LLMs are not the best source for asking about how to make things that explode.

I fear it could be something even more dubious than that.

A marketing campaign for an American company with a foothold in the Whitehouse.
