How much, oil, electricity, and blood does it take to prop up the US dollar???


A lot, that is why it is backed by the Country with the largest economy in the World...mean while Bitcoin isn't backed by anything except false marketing, it certainly isn't a P2P electronic system of cash.


Have you actively avoided learning about peer-to-peer digital cash or do you somehow feel threatened by it?


If you think someone is mistaken, correct them. Personal attacks are neither polite nor likely to convince anyone.


Hum... I don't know if I'm reading your comment correctly, but Bitcoin is absolutely not a P2P protocol.

The entire community needs to confirm an operation before it's complete. This can be only named P2P if you remove all the meaning from the expression.


How much more does the dollar and all it's infrastructure do than bitcoin?

Many, many, many times more. Bitcoin could barely cope with the transaction rate of a mid sized town.

The CDC themselves were involved in the study that says you're wrong.

If someone is able to find the source for this info I'd really appreciate it. Just spent like 10 minutes trying to find the paper they're citing but I can't find it and I don't have time to keep looking now. Maybe it isn't published?

It might be this one, actually. This one suggests it can live up to 72 hours on certain surfaces. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.09.20033217v...

I'd love to have some more data on this if anyone can provide.


That's funny


It is available in Brazil, at least in a research capacity. I almost tried it to work on an alcohol addiction but regrettably decided against it at the time.


Because there is an ongoing disaster?


how about a culture that understands people are just different, and all of them will likely wake up at different times


I suggested this below, and within minutes was mercilessly downvoted. Apparently statistical averages are to be employed as Procrustes Beds against these deviants who don't conform to the statistical average.


Life itself is competition...


Can you provide a little elaboration on "the worst to be around"? What makes it like that for you?


I don’t know, they’re less self aware and extremely assertive? They’re usually way louder.


I've recently started treatment with lisdexamphetamine and I feel like sometimes there's certainly a sense of being less restricted than when I'm not using it. And sometimes I feel a sense of (maybe unsubstantiated) confidence that I don't have without it.

Sometimes that's for the better, and sometimes it might be for the worse. I also feel very interested in doing good work, and learning more. Which means I'm not the most social person on our team, although I think I'm well enough liked, I'm not after-work friends with that many of them.

The social aspect is probably the most important aspect of success at work (moving up, political support, getting that money etc), but for now I'm really enjoying being able to focus my energy on a task and not get distracted by every little sound,thought or movement happening around me.


My dad would have loved to have you instead of me. He walked in on me with the family PC taken completely apart and flipped out, lol. I agree with you though.


I have always gotten anywhere between no and way-to-much anxiety when using pot, just depends on quantity, setting, etc. I prefer doing it alone, in small amounts. If I'm going to get stoned it's almost definitely alone.

Psychedelics are the same, for me, times like ten. Fortunately I handle it relatively well, and I just let it ride as "part of the experience" when I trip. Usually the uncomfortable parts go away after the peak, and then it's just awesome for hours. The peak is amazing in its own ways too, but there is (for me) no doubt a have anxiety/body buzz that is just uncomfortable as all get-out.
