I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
sounds like the same kind of typical bitcoiner armchair lawyering as "the us can't ban bitcoin. bitcoin is code aka ones and zeroes aka text aka speech therefore banning bitcoin would be a violation of the first amendment :smugbert:"

I wonder if that Wasabi mixer made it so that the guy who got arrested was spending cartel bitcoin, and that the mixer made it look like he was sending his bitcoin to the cartel when it mixed everything up, and thats why the police came by.

There are 2 types of people that use a mixer: criminals trying to launder money, and obsessive privacy enthusiasts. And if a person who is not a criminal participates in a mixer, then their bitcoin provides cover for money laundering, and the criminal bitcoin ends up being spent by the privacy enthusiast and noticed by law enforcement tracking those 'dirty bitcoins'.

Its kinda amazing how the buttcoiners don't really think that enabling money laundering by participating in a mixer is quite probably a criminal act.

the obsessive privacy enthusiasts are very likely engaging in tax evasion, so investigating everyone you can connect to a mixer is probably a worthwhile use of resources.

and that's not even theory. the military is extremely serious about their base security. they'll fire a few warning shots if they're in a good mood. if that doesn't dissuade you, they'll just kill your rear end

thinking they wouldn't kill citizens dumb enough to try to force their way onto the base is just pure naivety

I do think they wouldn't kill citizens storming a base for conspiracy reasons. Humans are involved, and they're going to be extremely reluctant to shoot their fellow countrymen - doesn't matter how "extremely serious" the military is.

But it's certainly not without danger and depends entirely on the people involved, so hopefully, we'll never know for sure.

then i'm sorry but you're hopelessly naive. they absolutely would do so without a second thought. civilian or not, those humans are not going to let themselves/their post be endangered. anyone who is still approaching after having warning shots fired at them absolutely is a danger and it would be foolish to speculate on their motives, much less take them at their word for it

They wouldn't be endangering themselves is the point in this situation. And shooting Americans isn't going to look good to anyone.

*air force guy on guard duty, as some guy from reddit or wherever starts cutting the links of the base's perimeter fence, heedless to the guy yelling at them to stop with machine gun raised*

Well I could shoot this guy, like my instructions and all my training told me I can and should, and I'd not get in the slightest bit of trouble for it, and if I don't I'll be court-martialled and lose my job. But on the other hand... what will Twitter say?

5:28 PM, Jul 24, 2019
MERCURY (AP) — Authorities shot and killed a man who entered a secured federal site north of Las Vegas where the government used to test nuclear bombs.

A spokesman for the National Nuclear Security Administration says the man failed to stop at the security gate on Monday at the Nevada National Security Site. Darwin Morgan says the man drove for about 8 miles before he parked, got out of his car and approached security officials.

Nye County Sheriff's deputies and nuclear site officers told the man to drop the object in his hand and stop approaching. Morgan says they shot him when he refused.

The man, whose identity has not yet been released, died at the scene.

The FBI has been notified.

You launch yourself like a projectile mouth first blindingly fast from your naruto run start and 'dock' with my smartphone like a jet performing an in flight refueling maneuver. You transport what feels like gallons of your hot wallet bitcoins directly into my address, and you come off your trezor with an audible pop..a slight bit of extra encryption splashes onto your face...my mouth hangs open like that of a tired dog, saliva drooling out of my mouth like ive been lobotomized

Grab a fistful of my hair and begin seriously questioning my motives...violent and swift, loud and intimidating, you take in the pleasure of the interrogation process of a trespasser. I stare up at you with research chemical eyes while I put my Trezors on your smartphone, which I feel vibrating. You increase the speed of your questions until you're firing those threats, threatening me so hard my nerves start to fray. You throw your head back and scream like Rambo having his LMG fully locked and loaded as hot lead from your firearm rushes down my throat hole.
