Is he so distanced from the consequences of the wars that he campaigns for that he doesn't even realise that once someone dies because of him then they probably won't be watching him talk about it afterwards on Fox News?

The only difficult part in my view is setting up a lightning wallet that connects to nostr. Using primal it wants all my personal details to activate the built in lightning wallet, so that's a barrier. Or I can use NWC to connect to an existing lightning wallet, only that isn't compatible with any of the three wallets I have, which are all fairly common ones.

The general logic seems reasonable, though a few basic searches suggest that THAADs are not commonly used for shooting down drones like these, as they're the wrong technology. Which makes me question how much expertise he has on the topic.

I watch this and wonder whether at some point the US may suddenly discover their legacy navy is obsoleted by new drone technologies.
For example, if Iran and their allies decided a year or two ago that an attack from the US was worth preparing for, could they position a large swarm of drones in a convenient land (or sea?) based location near enough to where they expect the aircraft carrier strike groups to base themselves, then launch a few thousand drones at once to take out the only few missile defence systems that can catch hypersonic missiles reliably, then immediately follow up with a barrage of hypersonic missiles that had been kept in reserve for just such an occasion.

Is this regarding the term limits in El Salvador being scrapped? I don't have a particular problem with that as long as the elections are fair. They're on a pretty massive winning streak so I can understand if they want to be able to keep Bukele in control for a while yet.

Thanks so much for explaining all this. I suppose it would be reasonable to think the cost of storage capacity should keep reducing non linearly, whereas the block chain only grows in size linearly, so in a few years maybe making each block 50x bigger might not matter much to node operators?

Thanks for sharing this. As a non technical person, I read near the start that it will take up way too much block space but then at the end the author is a fan. I couldn't see anything in between that explained how the block space issue would be addressed. What did I miss? Sorry for the dumb question.

I normally have the wifi router on a timer to turn off overnight, and put phone on flight mode and switch off power by the bed. Not sure if it makes much difference but decided to give it a try after reading The Invisible Rainbow. Pretty amazing book that one.
