You aren’t knitting fast enough. Crochet can fix that.

I broke my wrist and took up knitting for physical therapy.
I’m starting to look at weaving from natural fibers. I have yucca in my yard. The roots are a calorie source and the fronds can make durable shoes.

Any female bee in the hive will go through all the jobs available depending on their age. The bees you see flying around are at the end of the life cycle. Bees make wax from days 12 to 18. By the time they go foraging they are 21+ days old and no longer have the fuzziness of youth.

If I asked just for the topics I care about then I’m not helping anyone else reading. I’m looking for the quality sources. The ones that aren’t filled with filler. The ones that have the key news stories and the oddball stuff.

by links?
- Comment on In Praise of RSS and Controlled Feeds of Information 3 weeks ago:
I stopped using RSS a long long time ago. And then when I left Reddit and found Lemmy, I also restarted my RSS feeds and cleaned up the links. I don’t go there everyday but I do enjoy when I get there.
But I have asked in numerous places for people’s best RSS links and always come up with zero feedback.
So let’s try it here. What are your best RSS links?

Minimalism is for people that can solve any problems with money. No tools. No rainy day supplies. No “just in case” in the back of a cabinet. Something breaks? Call a guy. Need 300 cup cakes? Catering.
It’s a philosophy for the rich. Not a philosophy that makes you rich.

Now imagine how government will effect that. You know how the government’s been trying to put back doors into hardware? A lot easier to do when you own part of a major chip manufacturer. Do you think having a steady supply of government orders will make them innovate or get lazier? Why is the government proving up a dragging company? Isn’t that picking losers and winners like Republicans had issues with in the Solyndra deal?
Intel failing isn’t a reason for the government to get involved, it’s a reason to stay away.

I really feel like we are talking past each other. I’m talking about people who wanted to privatize the Social Security system and sell off the USPS because they believed any amount of government in any service was dangerous. I’m not being histrionic, I’m asking the people who have spent decades being histrionic to explain why they are suddenly very chill with something that was, until a week ago, a firmly held religious belief.
Don’t mistake my position for that of the people I’m trying to reach.

Then you aren’t my target audience. Canadians are very different from USA Republicans who have a long and loud history on this topic and then flipped in one day to say it’s okay to have a little communism as a treat.

The government holding ownership stakes in companies. If so, have you been in favor for a long time or did it start this week? Because I’m focusing on the people that just recently adopted this position after years of opposition to anything that even smelled like government interfering with business.

Not communist except for the government ownership of companies?
- Comment on Intel details everything that could go wrong with US taking a 10% stake 1 month ago:
Prior to a week ago every conservative was 100% against any form of government corporate ownership. They hated TARP, Solyndra and quantitative easing. They went so far as to want to privatize social security and the post office. Countless hours have been spent justifying all of this and it was baked into their identity that it was all bad in any flavor.
Then, suddenly, Trump is for it and they fall into line without a moment of cognitive dilemma. Cult mentality. They cared about communism before and suddenly they don’t and they haven’t given us a reason. They haven’t admitted their charge.
- Comment on Intel details everything that could go wrong with US taking a 10% stake 1 month ago:
Think long term. What kind of regulatory capture is going to happen? Protected companies stagnate instead of innovate. That 10%? That’s not a cash deal. It’s not revenue for the share holders. It’s basically the value of all the CHIPS deal and other things that Intel was already getting. They literally gave 10% of the company away for free.
And it’s illegal. And it’s communism. It’s everything Republicans hated when the Obama administration gave Solyndra a loan. This is pure corruption and will end badly for everyone.
The stock is up. But that’s not because this is good. It’s up because investors didn’t think this through. Short term profit vs long term fail.

Increase in workflow? Like there are more steps to perform the same task? Because workflow isn’t work volume or units if output. It’s the process that gets the work done.
Did the increase in “workflow” get you more money or more work for the same money?

- Comment on Sleeping beauty bitcoin wallets wake up after 14 years to the tune of $2 billion 3 months ago:
Two wallets. 10k BTC each. These wallets were created back when BTC was 78¢. When you spend $10k the IRS might ask questions. If you are “structuring” correctly you avoid spending $9,999 and $1 within a short time span or even in the same reporting period. 10k BTC back then was something you could buy that looked like it wasn’t $10k but was really close. Spend it twice in two different wallets and if there are enough other transactions no one will notice.
Anytime you see a transaction or set of transactions that add up to or are just shy of 10k USD, BTC or pretty much anything, there should be a little bell that dings in your head and causes you to think “this person is clearly thinking about US tax reporting laws and trying to dodge them.”
Who had all that money back in 2011 that decided that now was the time to tap those wallets that are worth a billion each? Obviously someone that hasn’t needed the money until now. Someone that is planning on spending up to 2 billion. But not right away because if you try to sell 20k BTC in a hurry it will draw attention and potentially destabilize the currency. But you could sell it all off over the next year or longer without flooding the market.
Who wants to spend up to $2 billion in the next year? What could you buy with that kind of money? Elon musk spent ~$250 million getting Trump elected. That’s just an eighth of $2B. You could buy a lot of super PAC power with $2B. You could bankroll the primarying of every Republican that voted for OBBB. Weird that these wallets were dusted off so close to Elon saying he would primary anyone that voted for OBBB, and he has a strong affinity for crypto, and he had enough money in 2011 to buy that much BCT on a whim, and that he wouldn’t have had to touch it to pay other bills as BTC went from 78¢ to more than $100,000 over the last 14 years.
I wonder who these wallets belong to and what they will be used for?
This is what conspiracy thinking looks like. It’s me. I’m the one conspiracy thinking.
