@nivex@octodon.social Not all cryptocurrencies use proof of work consensus and require vast amounts of electricity. Cardano uses proof of stake consensus and has smart contracts. It uses roughly the same amount of electricity as 600 homes in the US, per year, globally.

Ugh, who steals a catalytic converter…from a church van? Elderly and disabled people needed that. On the plus side, it sounds like the end of the world when it pulls up!

@rose_myrtle True, but my autistic daughter, Heidi, loved it! We’ve been encouraging her to talk and she just kept naming colors in the movie! That was new and exciting.

"I think I'd be hurting it very badly if we didn't use it anymore," Trump said from the White House. "We have other sites we can use, I guess, or we'd have to develop other sites."

@Gargron How would you feel about a government, maybe even the US, deploying a system utilizing Mastodon to make a public social network, or even just a .gov instance. I think Trump turning to the Fediverse might be a good thing overall.

Psalm 37:27-28
World English Bible
27 Depart from evil, and do good.
Live securely forever.
28 For Yahweh loves justice,
and doesn’t forsake his saints.
They are preserved forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

@MaryMamuzich @Lindseyay I read those as a kid🙂 My wife needs to do some tea parties at church to burn through her collection. We'll never drink it all before it gets old!

@maleza I would definitely embed some reinforcing. Wood, wire mess, rebar, etc.

@maleza I really like Nubian vaults, you making bricks? Shrinkage, cracks, and fissures are always something to keep in mind and bricks somewhat solve this. I honestly would skip the bricks and build re-usable forms to standardize your system. You skip all the brick making labor and just throw your mix on the form in thin layers, letting it dry. Notch trowel. Fill in any shrinkage cracks with the new layers. String up piano wire and trowel the outside face for a nice smooth finish. Good luck!

@maleza Like what you're building! Have you ever tried building vaults with earth? You might like this.

Anyone know of any updates on the 5D optical data storage tech that came out of the University of Southampton around 5 years ago? I'm still excited about the idea of being able to write TB's of data on a piece of glass and leave it on the shelf without worrying too much about bit rot.

I've had the weirdest dream, technically animal abuse but not within dream logic 

Just found out that one of my classmates that I kept in touch with died alone in a hospital last month. We couldn't have been much more different, yet we could co-exist. She had a crazy childhood and I always felt sort of called to be part of her life and pray for her, despite her almost violent opposition to my way of life. Real compassion, not duty. Have you ever felt like that about someone? She was an interesting, funny, and disgusting person really, who partied til the end.

@blitzed I don't think the KJV is the end-all, be-all, but it is a pretty faithful translation. Pslams sound good in KJV. The WEB is my go to. Run from the Message.
