we've enjoyed a number of 'cook at home a restaurant style meal' takeout options. They work better than delivered burgers, though five Guys is the best of those we have here.

#OtD 11 Feb 1987 Mark Ashton, leading member of Lesbians & Gays Support the Miners, died aged just 26. @LGSMpride raised huge amounts of money for Welsh miners during the strike of 1984-5 and brought together the LGBT & workers movts. More in our pod: workingclasshistory.com/2019…

Mark Ashton lost his life to AIDS 34 years ago today. He was 26 years old. Always loved, never forgotten, forever an inspiration. #LGBTHM21

I (and I hope enough others) choose to take it as "Save Our Summer - stay inside and stop risking everyone's lives you idiots". Sadly I expect 99% of people to behave like selfish louts instead :(

I'd be shocked if they'd not already sold a bunch of it. After all, the "value" of bitcoin is just what you can persuade others to buy yours for.

My thoughts exactly. At what point does a 'noble goal' become a badge-monetisation scheme? That said, there are some excellent goals expressed here...

In theory, the reproducible builds project gives us a pointer here. If *enough* "trustable" agents do the build and get the same result (i.e. each agent's signature validates the same final binary hash) then one can start to build out trust based on regular matching of results.

Alternative meaning: Harding (v): To make demonstrably false statements which you are not called out on in order to protect your place in a role you are lacking any competence to perform. Example: She harding'd her way through that presentation and bloody got away with it!

if that one admin was doing a bad job of three people's work and refusing help, then that might not be a bad thing :D
And this is, I suppose, another good reason why I have not, should not, and will not, procreate/adopt.
