Yup. I quite literally don't know anyone who is using Bitcoin directly to pay for everyday expenses, nor even for larger purchases. It always includes using an off-ramp and going through fiat.

I agree with you. I'll speculate no further.

While I haven't used zulip recently, then a few years ago that was my experience as well.

Was this vibe coded? Readme has typos and somehow reads "fast and loose".

"Sounds like deliberate badge of ignorance" means that "crime rate is going up instead"?

There is no logical conclusion to draw, you measure this instead.

In context of current events it really doesn't.

Also, perhaps the pain is deliberate as to limit the inflow?

Again, vote into office people who do it the way you want and don't try to rip law apart when you're the minority.

Sure. I'm simply saying that illegals in the US and German Jews aren't the same. The latter actually were citizens, most/many of them for more than one generation while the illegals in the US have recently entered. Also, US illegals are simply deported, not killed.

Also, acquiring real estate for any org to for any activity is also normal. E.g a town government who buys a warehouse to house a temporary school or hospital.

Bloomberg is just trying to insinuate analogies here because their political party didn't win.

The entire post reads like a justification to illegal immigration, no?

Would you say then that effect of deporting illegals is in fact slowing down the decline?

So the argument you are effectively making is that the police officer was planning to jump out of the way and this posed reasonably little health risk?

Why pick on the expression when you could point out that the opposite is true? If it is, do say.

They do, but also only physically.

Well, the "enemy" of the protesters are the ICE officers. When drawing Nazi Germany comparisons I was pointing out that during those times people weren't whistling along German soldiers when they didn't agree to what they were doing.

Jews were stripped of citizenship after 1933, so in fact they were. Quite similar to how citizens of US have European, African, etc. heritage but are still citizens.

Funny, how the anti ICE crowd wants people to immigrate illegally. What about voting somebody to the office and changing the laws instead?

Yup. The script that you execute should literally be the one that you read. (I.e, no downloading twice)

While true, then I'd just skip installing these products and find another way. And if this is the only way and the product is important (say, brew), make an exception.

Summary: legal immigration is very difficult to impossible.

The solution, IMO, isn't "just enter illegally". When you're not a citizen then, quite frankly, the fact that you want to immigrate doesn't matter. It's the country that says whether you should get in or not.
