Wisdom in SpaceIn the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
-- Albert Einstein
WIST QuotationsThe Stream of Life sometimes glides smoothly on, through flowry meadows and enamell’d planes. At other times it draggs a winding reluctant Course through offensive Boggs and dismal gloomy Swamps. The same road now leads us thro’ a spacious Country fraught with evry delightful object, Then plunges us at once, into miry Sloughs, or stops our passage with craggy and inaccessible mountains. The free roving Songster of the forest, now rambles unconfin’d, and hopps from Spray to Spray but the next hour perhaps he alights to pick the scattered Grain and is entangled in the Snare. The Ship, which, wafted by a favourable gale, sails prosperously upon the peaceful Surface, by a sudden Change of weather may be tossed by the Tempest, and driven by furious, opposite winds, upon rocks or quicksands. In short nothing in this world enjoys a constant Series of Joy and prosperity.
John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)

@voxel like all #PoW #Cryptocurrency, #Monero too does #WastefulComputing.
- Unlike many others it automatically adapts #Difficulty based off total #hashrate as it enshures a constant block reward of 0,6 XMR + Tx Fees per block at a constant block time of 2mins per block.
That being said Monero was explicitly designed to not be #ASIC-able in a cost-efficient manner and be #GPU-unfriendly, so it's more #decentralized and doesn't cause harm by demanding custom hardware that can't be repurposed that causes 100% avoidable #eWaste!
- IOW: I's the 'least worst' option given it's PoW doesn't incentive or reward capital holders (beyond the ability to host and have power to mine)…

Swede’s PhotographsGood morning, friends. 🌹🥀💐
2 May 2025
A couple of days ago, my wife noticed that Ben's lymph nodes beneath his jaw were swollen. I took him to the veterinarian yesterday and, unfortunately, didn’t receive good news. There’s no definitive diagnosis yet—the vet sent samples to a pathologist, and I should hear something today. Ben is 16, and I fear the inevitable may be approaching. Still, he remains his calm, steady self. I think of him as a gentle giant, despite his small size. It takes a lot to ruffle him, except for my other dog, Charlie, who—every so often—manages to find that one nerve to step on. The dynamic at home is what I cherish most, and I struggle with the thought of change.

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson
I am uncomfortably reminded of the abiding truth of those classic words that never occurred to Horace: “Via ovicipitum dura est,” or, for the benefit of the engineers among you: “The way of the egghead is hard.”Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman

America Underestimates the Difficulty of Bringing Manufacturing Back — Molson Hart
On April 2nd, 2025, our president announced major new taxes on imports from foreign countries (“tariffs”), ranging from 10% to 49%. The stated goal is to bring manufacturing back to the United States and to “make America wealthy again”. These tariffs will not work. In fact, they may even do the opp
