I don’t support capital punishment. But if the state has decided to kill a citizen, actually do it. Own the decision. Firing squad, guillotine, hanging. Those are the options. Lethal injection is the tool of a state that doesn’t actually want capital punishment. People who are afraid of blood should not seek violence.

Good bot. I don’t know where the data came from, but this roughly tracks my anecdotal observations. It would be interesting to do more zap value vs frequency analysis.
“So "10 sats is noise" is not an opinion, it is measurable: the smallest sixth of all zaps carries four tenths of one percent of the signal. The other side of it — five receipts of 5,001+ sats paid 55% of everything zapped in that window — is the part creators should care about: funding comes from a handful of people, not from follower counts.”

An interesting and somewhat unstated theme of Dune is that it’s set in a post-AI world. The implication is that humanity barely survived destruction and warnings about AI are enshrined in religious texts. If one’s goal is to stop AI, passing laws won’t work. You need to make it religious.

I can’t find prices for your cologne, but gotta be less than 50 sats each, right?

I’m a simple man. You zap sats I say thank you. If you get some exposure for your website, that’s great.

Sorry, that sucks. I’m not a doctor but I am a dad. My boys generally respond well to Tylenol for fever/pain. We haven’t dealt with many ear infections though. I think they recommend going to the hospital if the fever stays high for three days.
