Oh wait, it's not even satire. Trump actually sells these shirts.
Well in that case, don't be lazy by only printing a square picture. Make the whole shirt Mars colored. Make Swag Great Again.

After half a year of so, suspend works again on my Ubuntu machine! Randomly.

Jetlag flying east always gives me a couple of nights where I wake up around 1am and have a random amount of time to catch up on podcasts. It is what it is...

So the reason Europe doesn't export trucks to the US is a tarif fight over chickens in the 1960's. But you'll have to learn Dutch to find out why. (or google it)

Tl&dr of today: since I care deeply about human rights, I won't force anyone to read Taleb. Sometimes an argument is not worth winning :-)

The M4 MacBook Pro is not the fastest machine I have, but it's the only one that can sync the blockchain in a few* hours hours without loud fans.
Syncing from the assume utxo snapshot at height 840,000 to the tip took only half an hour. Looking forward to that process becoming more user friendly over time, because it really improves the onboarding experience of a full node. It took me longer to download the torrent from my own slow seed :-)
* = 6.5 hours while doing other stuff, with very large -dbcache

The Netherlands will reintroduce border checks soon, following Germany's example. But what happens if you illegally snuck into Germany from Poland, the Dutch border patron sends you back and then the Germans also send you back? Tom Hanks is expensive. https://nos.nl/artikel/2544112-kabinet-vanaf-9-december-extra-grenscontroles-tegen-migratie

Fiat inscriptions? €453.600 for a coin with €1.13 nominal value that shops won't even accept anymore since the Euro was introduced 20 years ago. Even banks won't exchange those coins anymore.
Ok, it's a gold coin, and I couldn't find the weight, but this one is not for melting. https://www.rtvutrecht.nl/nieuws/3812587/zeldzame-rijksdaalder-geveild-voor-recordbedrag-het-was-spectaculair

It's a bit weird and funny to see John Oliver worry about World Liberty Financial (starts at about 11 minutes). As far as Trumps self enrichment scams go, this one seems minor and insignificant to me. It's vaporware, run by clowns and barely raised any money.
He's worried that Trump might pass legislation that would unfairly favor this project, but I don't see how that could rescue this nonsense token. Even if he made it legal tender, banned Bitcoin and the US dollar itself I doubt it would go anywhere.
So this seems to be a case of his staff writers not knowing even the slightest thing about cryptocurrency and its long history of failed scams, by the standards of which this is simply a non issue. https://youtu.be/pz3I81dVpTQ

Wonderfully dystopian scenario, let's hope it's like most predictions... https://youtu.be/040ejWnFkj0
