    The Bitcoin apologists have turned my mentions into a trashfire, so I gotta turn off any further notifications.

    I woke up to hundreds of mentions calling me poor this morning, so I’m glad this website is free

    They found me too. I can only imagine how much of that you got, I'm sorry!

    No power here in Dallas, but I’m using my @NanliteUSA PavoTubes to light up my house! YouTuber survival skills right here 🤣

    haha I did the exact same thing this morning! Those are great

    Oh the *depths* to which we have sunk!

    I mean you could always chew on coffee beans with cold tap water, hoping your body heat will be sufficient to warm it up... 😱

    Aaron Parecki
    You know... chocolate covered coffee beans are a thing, so maybe resorting to eating plain coffee beans isn't the worst idea

    the power went out at 6am with no indication of when it'll be back, so I hand ground some coffee beans and will now find out if you can make french press coffee with hot tap water

    I think this is the move. Luke warm water to make coffee is usually quite disappointing mud water.
    Aaron Parecki
    My theory was the lukewarm water would make the cold press process go faster..?

    Also I don't wanna wait 12 hours for my first coffee of the day 😭

    I particularly enjoyed the one about the fact that there's a *lot* of solar energy (and if we just harnessed all of that, the oceans would freeze and all photoautotrophs would die but we could run bitcoin servers for at least another thousand years)

    At this point I just instablock anyone who shows up in my mentions with the name of any coin or crypto* in their profile. If they self-ID with it then nothing good happens.
    Aaron Parecki
    I kinda want to automate that now...

    I think you will find the Bitcoin fanboys are more than willing to debate/discuss with anyone who has some valid criticism of Bitcoin.
    Aaron Parecki
    I'm sure there are some completely reasonable people willing to discuss it. However those are not the people in my mentions right now 🙄

    One of my snarky tweets about bitcoin has been amplified into the bitcoin enthusiast areas of Twitter. Having to consult Urban Dictionary to decipher acronyms in my mentions now ("HFSP")

    "Spotify is letting employees work from anywhere — while still paying San Francisco and New York salaries" 😍. This is making Twitter and Facebook look awful with their if-you-move-we'll-dunk-your-pay policy. Same remote-capable work, same pay 👏 https://www.businessinsider.com/spotify-unveils-new-remote-work-option-for-all-employees-2021-2?r=US&IR=T

    I think you misspelled scamcoin! Considering it is all a ponzi scheme: create from thin air, convince others to buy, let them convince others to buy, repeat like a pyramid and the first who enters and exits, wins, rest need to keep on convincing otherwise they won’t profit….
    Aaron Parecki
    Pretty much. Look at the replies to my last tweet, it's a mess down there

    I was just woken up by a big POP of a transformer and all the power out. You could ice skate across my lawn and there’s a good 3/4” of ice on the branches outside 🥶
    Aaron Parecki
    Same! Power came back up twice for a few seconds and then *pop* again
