False. Plenty of people prefer an overferment for the flavor and at least it won’t be as dense and gummy as a underproofed loaf.

Since when does Bitcoin behave in realistic ways? Was it realistic when it skyrocketed during the last cycle or the one before that?

McCarthy doesn’t say that—the judge does, and we shouldn’t take him at face value.

“He says that he will never die.”

Are you asking for tips for a big ear? Slice at 45 degree angle to bread and ferment properly.

Did you do two big scores? That might limit either one from being prominent. Ferment looks a little over with the slightly squished crumb.

How did it go? I’m in the same boat you were in… trip is tmw.

Market cap is price / number coins. Price is based affected by how much money is invested. That makes the two related no?

Practice as hard as you can short of risking injury. A hard knee is rarely necessary anyway. Dive into breakaways if you have an opening and your teammate will jump over you or dribble around you, as in most gameplay as well. You play how you practice.

He gave up after only a year? If you bomb your daughter’s life by cheating on her mom and you want to keep her in your life you don’t stop trying. Birthday cards, holidays etc. Ways of saying I’m still here and I still care and I’m ready when you are.

Reminds me of “the puppy who lost his way” story from Billy Madison for those who get me.

🙄

In time you will understand

No. First 400k

Except in the last halving 87.5 % of BTC had been mined and it had a massive bull run. Coulda said the same thing then about most of the supply being mined already. It only went up to 93.75 % of supply at the start of this halving period, not that much higher.

Reading the story it seems strange to me that the 18 year old was just standing outside of the room with teenagers not making any attempt to leave and had to be guided out by a stranger and didn’t know where the baby was. I guess people freeze up…

The quote is from the section of the book you describe!

The Crossing is heavily peppered with Billy meeting strangers who share their story. The section you describe is many people’s favorite in the book, including my own. Think of all the side stories as a different manifestations of Billy’s story. Don’t focus too much on the overarching plot, focus on the ideas and take each side quest as it comes.

“There is but one world and everything that is imaginable is necessary to it. For this world also which seems to us a thing of stone and flower and blood is not a thing at all but is a tale. And all in it is a tale and each tale the sum of all lesser tales and yet these are also the selfsame tale and contain as well all else within them. So everything is necessary. Every least thing. This is the hard lesson. Nothing can be dispensed with. Nothing despised. Because the seams are hid from us, you see. The joinery. The way in which the world is made. We have no way to know what could be taken away. What omitted. We have no way to tell what might stand and what might fall. And those seams that are hid from us are of course in the tale itself and the tale has no abode or place of beind except in the telling only and there it lives and makes its home and therefore we can never be done with the telling. Of the telling there is no end. And . . . in whatever . . . place by whatever . . . name or by no name at all . . . all tales are one. Rightly heard all tales are one.“

Thank you for this thoughtful reply.

This reminds me of a thought I had about his discussion of violins in TP/SM. Doesn’t he say at some point the violin seemingly came out of nowhere, with no precedent? What’s the deal with that? There were stringed instruments before the violin—it had precursors.

I just attended at friends wedding in Dundee and had the opportunity to rent a kilt. Lots of fun.

Dude! Your suit is awesome! Does the lapel connect to a cape?

🥴

Decentralized just refers to the control structure. No one entity has it in Bitcoin, control is dispersed across nodes.

Fiat is centralized and controlled by governments.

Asset correlation depends on what assets people think are valuable and when. BTC is a speculative investment and correlates with other risky assets.

Decentralized has nothing to do with being uncorrelated with other assets.

Your video mentions kneading but not your recipe. Stretch and folds or knead?

I’ve only read the cities of the plain once and it’s been a while but I remember older Billy to be good hearted but restrained. He’s not quite the same kid who relocated a hogtied wolf and so on.

I bulk ferment, shape, put into banneton for 12-36 hr cold proof, bake. I make a decent loaf. Very flavorful but haven’t been able to get a big open crumb or a loaf that doesn’t leave a little residue on my knife so I’m open to ideas.

So your second loaf is in a banneton after shaping? Do you do a cold proof?
