Fuck you Nintendo.

I regularly power both my ts100 and Pinecil with a Milwaukee M18 battery and the barrel connector this is super convenient. The display is also convenient. The fact that you need the battery to set the temp seems numb and completely negates the USBC convenience because it means you can’t use any old USBC power source and still change the temperature. The 100w is also pointless because the other two options already heat incredibly fast and have a higher max temperature.

Then we all grew up and found out it’s actually not possible to sink in quick sand.

This would be better if it weren’t hollow and anyone can look inside.

I do agree but imo the power consumption is a flaw of Bitcoin and should have been addressed upfront. There has to be a better way.

Do you think there isn’t a blood cost for electricity?

The new currency that’s backed by the old currency and uses a shit ton more electricity. What a time to be alive.

Ive worked in 3rd world and I’m shocked that you think these people give a shit about Bitcoin or that it can do anything for them. You can sing its praises all you want and go on and on about how it’s just me repeating what I’ve been told. It’s a joke.

But crypto also suffers from crashes and being devalued and if you’re buying Bitcoin with your hard earned dollar that is worth less and less then you are ultimately buying less and less Bitcoin. The fact that Bitcoin still needs all of the other currency to function as a middle man makes it vulnerable to the same risks. Maybe it helps people in niche situations but I’m sure we’ll all be thinking it’s worth it when those same struggling places are the hardest hit by climate change. At least they’ll have a bunch of digital currency propped up by fiat currency.

That’s great and all but doesn’t sound like a valid excuse for the excessive amount of energy it consumes. It’s also hard for me to imagine 3rd world places that somehow flourish because of a currency that needs the Internet to exist.
