https://curiosity.com/topics/the-suicide-plant-has-the-most-painful-stingers-in-the-world-curiosity/ posted:


"Like being burned by hot acid and electrocuted at the same time." That's botanist Marina Hurley on what it feels like to touch the gympie gympie. Not that you have to touch it. An extremely fine fuzz of poisonous needles coats the entire plant, and better yet, the things shed like a cat in the summertime. So it's disturbingly easy to get stung just by standing near them.

There's no shortage of horror stories about the gympie gympie. One ex-serviceman, Cyril Bromley, fell into one of the plants during WWII training exercises, and he ended up strapped to a hospital bed, "as mad as a cut snake." Bromley also told a story of an officer who unknowingly used a leaf as toilet paper. He ended up shooting himself. Botanist Ernie Rider was whacked in the face, arm, and chest in 1963, and it wasn't until 1965 that he was finally free of the pain.

There's probably a bitcoin metaphor in there also

From CES:

On Sunday at CES, the crypto wallet company Ledger revealed its latest device — the Bluetooth-enabled Ledger Nano X. The device is roughly similar to the previous Nano S, offering more support for multiple wallets and coin types but leaving internals otherwise the same. But Bluetooth will allow the X to connect to mobile devices through the new Ledger Live app, a powerful new way to access hardware wallets through your phone.

A polite little mouse!
it's always great to get an internet crazy person

in the interview he went on for about 10000 years about why the war on drugs was bad actually

(which I didn't actually disagree with at all)

he wanted me to remove the book section on Ross because Ross was not convicted of soliciting murder, therefore he didn't do it

also i'm defaming ross

I asked if he'd go to bat the same way for Jimmy Savile, who wasn't convicted of raping children. apparently that's different tho

he is legally accountable for any defamation he commits, it's just that saying that ross attempted to hire hitmen isn't defamation, on account of it being true

p. much. bitcoiners will even tell you as much. they believe that since ross owned bitcoins then he should be above the law. not exaggerating, that's one of their top defenses of him: he did a lot for bitcoin so any bitcoiner who doesn't support his release is an ungrateful rear end in a top hat

what did ross do for bitcoin? make it associated with illegal darkweb purchases in the minds of the general public? even though this use case is also resoundingly shown to be terrible because it's only pseudononymous and the transaction rates and fees are untenable?
