Nothing more than it’s widely accepted

Well, what's wrong with Bitcoiners trying to make their currency widely accepted too?

that it’s backed by yet another widely accepted from of currency

So it's turtles all the way down, is what you're saying?

(usually; gold)

Not the USD, which is the worlds most widely accepted currency.

This is all gross-oversimplification, I realize, and I don’t particularly want to get into the weeds on this topic, because it’s only of passing interest to me.

Yes, I agree that this is gross-oversimplification. But if you don't want to get into the weeds, why make a claim about something you don't understand and don't have interest in?

What is this "real" money you speak of? What makes it real?

Shouldn't it be one of those "OK" symbols. You know, the "Made you look" game where you create an OK symbol with your hand below your waist.

On the computer thread, changing the keys on their keyboard is also fun. Works better if they are a touch typist as well, as they may go several hours/days before noticing, until they have to look for that one special key. :)

In all seriousness, there is a radio lab episode out there talking about tiny black holes. Apparently, they might be all over the universe, and can sometimes hit earth, create a massive crater that has no meteorite debris, exit the other side of earth, and could be an explanation for all the dark matter around the universe!

It was a really fascinating episode, and I highly recommend giving it a listen!

This is a very objective question, but I'm going to say you must travel to 4 countries, 2 of which must be across an ocean, and 2 have to be to countries that speak different languages than your native language. Feel free to mix and match.

I feel like I have to beg my friends to use my Plex server. Like what the hell? I'm offering you ~1000 movies free, and all you have to do is register for a Plex account, but for some reason registering for Plex is way too hard and confusing (even though it's the same process as any other service).

Whatever, guess I'll enjoy my movies myself then. 🤷

Sausage party was that movie. And yes, it was as bad as it sounds.

Aha! That's good to know. Thanks!

I've been flipping between Jerboa and liftoff. Unless I'm missing something Jerboa doesn't have the downvote arrow. Not that I ever downvote anyway. But besides that, I think I like the feel of Jerboa better.

Sort options seem better in liftoff though (again, unless I'm missing something in Jerboa).

I'll probably give infinity a try now because of this post.
