Comment Re:Meanwhile, here in the mid-Atlantic region (Score 1) 40

What happened is the efficiency of home heating with a heat pump promised to be cheap to run when comparing overall costs to fossil fuels. Then the price of electricity nearly doubled overnight. Now people are stuck with an expensive heat pump and high electricity rates. Anyone hoodwinked into using only resistive element heat as the backup to the heat pump is now seeing a $$$$$$$$$$$$$ bill.

Comment I'm still trying to figure out. (Score 1) 23

Why I should care. I mean can't someone just vibe code up another Wordpress at this point? Or if the current maintainer is just that bad fork it, and use a new logo (but trademark the new logo anyway so some new asswipe doesn't try to rent seek on the new logo).

Comment Re: 'reversed the transactions.' someone explain. (Score 1) 67

The moment an individual bitcoin transaction became too expensive was the day bitcoin failed. These brokers or exchanges are just propping up a failed system. By failed I mean the underlying system was no longer usable as intended. Bitcoin was not supposed to be only used as a central bank between smaller banks/exchanges. It was supposed to be the sole transaction system.

Comment Re:'verified by a third party vendor', no thanks. (Score 1) 166

If you have a government issued ID, sorry pal but they already have your data. At least it's just the government and not 100s of third party verification services half of which are on the other side of the world sending that data right back to fourth parties in your own country, which secure that data with a password of 'password'.
