A book on vertical gardening?

@Maryam
Don't let people tell you how to live your life, as you only have one to live and it belongs to you. Living your life cookie-cutter as per other people's expectations is almost the same as living some else's life.

Iirc Munich is having rent-inflation problems atm. Though probably nothing like you see in the Bay area in CA

Use GitLab or some other provider. There are plenty.

@freemo depending on the intent of the currency, I may be more interested- and I would be more confident if I knew how you were going to maintain that intent. As for which kind of 'features' I would look for in a crypto atm, I'd like one where I didn't have to report it or pay taxes. After that, animosity and ease of use(how easy it is to trade,buy,sell,gift,etc.)

@freemo that provides confidence, but not incentive. So far I'm willing to dish out a little bit- test the waters with a toe so-to-speak.

@freemo
Again, it depends. Novelty crypto is cheap. Something aiming to replace what Bitcoin used to be would mean to do serious implementations and requires a lot of effort to promote/maintain. That would justify spending more depending on regular statistical performance reports. If this is a crypto just for use of the fediverse or in this instance, the value would be less than Bitcoin but somewhat higher than a mere novelty.

I told you already: no vegetables on the ferry! One cabbage slug could destroy the entire eco-system of Ba Sing Se!

An aperture card! Used as a very early image tagging/sorting system, you'd have microfilm mounted in a punch card, so you could have a regular punch card organizer/sorter find your images. The DoD loved them because they could store tons and tons of engineering blueprints in an organized, computer-sortable and -searchable way.

@freemo I believe Cosby is in the wrong, but the reason he was freed is actually more nuanced, and was caused by a prosecutorial error and a lack of judicial oversight years ago.

The DA, during Cosby's initial testimony, offered him criminal immunity in exchange for a "forced" testimony during the simultaneous civil proceeding (i.e. he wouldn't be charged criminally but was forced to testify in the lawsuit that was going on at the time).

This deal was made by the prosecutor as he wasn't confident in the burden of proof being held up in criminal court but thought he could get justice for the plaintiff in civil proceedings instead (in criminal cases, the burden of proof is "beyond a reasonable doubt", whereas in civil cases, it's "the preponderance of evidence"). Ultimately this deal led to a settlement of (I think) $3.4 million dollars for the victim during the initial cases, but in exchange for criminal immunity. While not perfect, it's certainly better than nothing for the plaintiff if a jury decided there wasn't enough evidence to convict, which was especially likely if he didn't testify by exercising his 5th amendment rights.

The new case that was opened leveraged transcripts of his initial confession, which he as promised by the initial DA would never be used to prosecute him. Thus, they violated his 5th amendment right against self-incrimination to obtain the evidence, and he was let go. This was all determined completely irrespective of whether or not he was actually guilty, but due to this error the Supreme Court determined his rights were violated so badly that he couldn't be tried again (in a 5-4 or 6-3 decision). The dissent was only caused by the decision of upholding double Jeopardy in this case, not whether his rights were violated.

While I think he should have been put away, this was ultimately a compromise by the initial DA, and a further mistake by current prosecutors to leverage evidence that was "fruit from the poisonous tree".

P.S. IDC about weed, people should be able to do what they want as long as they don't hurt other people.

Like hairspray and a lighter? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. And even if you know you can- it can still lead to painful user error.

This is my (third) Mastodon account I've created. I made this one so I could write longer posts. My main account is @vital876@mastodon.social.

qoto.org's theme looks awesome. I feel like I'm on a spaceship of some kind. The character limit is 65,532? That's crazy high!

@strawberryfieldsforever I made the account! Oh my goodness. That character limit is nice to see! 🎉💃
