I made some more fun by writing an alternative scoring algorithm for deciding which word to try. Have run out of fun again.

The important thing to remember about Novak Djokovic being denied entry to Australia after spending a day in the airport thinking he was more important than everyone else is that it is incredibly funny.

so what you're saying is: the state of the blockchain DOESN'T always represent the truth, and truth is in fact a socially-constructed agreement that takes precedence over the blockchain? π€

My household's total electricity consumption for 2021 was ~1,200 kWh. Looking at the value (light, cooking, ...) I got from that (and the price I payed for it), it's insane that a single Bitcoin transaction would've used the same amount of energy. Stop Bitcoin & Co!
In 2021 the Bitcoin network handled ~97 million transactions. This equals roughly 0.012% of the worldwide volume of non-cash transactions.
Bitcoin was responsible for 0.54% of global electricity consumption. On average, that's 1,386 kWh per Bitcoin transaction.

After all that, I deserve a beer. I shall ring in the new year with a Northern Monk Death Star Ep.II - Mmmm
As such, for everyone on here - I hope 2022 is a good year for you. Better than 2021 at least. *hugs* and see you on the flip side.

Today I learned that when you start to select large numbers of recipients for a mass SMS, android starts to slow down a lot. Selecting the last 10 of my 80+ mass text each took four or give seconds. Wow. Someone has a seriously badly scaling algorithm in there somewhere.

It's easy to make groups into villains, but we'll get nowhere by vilifying groups. The #rustlang community cannot make progress by being exclusionary. We will *regress* by indulging in the same levels of hate that others throw. The feelings are valid; the actions are not.
