you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Yes. You do a transaction that encodes a keyboard input, then a smart-contract does a transaction encoding a screenshot. You can do almost 0.0008 fps this way.

A few years ago when that twitch plays pokemon thing got big they immediately ripped it off only instead of typing in a chat to play the game you had to send bitcoins to various addresses.



This was as far as it got.

Then someone else tried and got this far



but this one had the added feature of a microphone being on and broadcasting the horrific screams of the PC as it struggled to emulate a game boy.

You NEVER ever testify at your own criminal trial. SBF lawyers are nuts for even allowing this without quitting on the spot.

So it'll be great. SBF is going to get cocked up on speed like he hasn't done since his rumored 2022 office bouts of "pinning the weasel".

Juries really like it when the defendant takes the stand, so if you think you're probably going to lose as things stand it can be a reasonable gamble. As long as your client knows how to shut up.

Let's start with activate-linux/Makefile:

# if $CC is not set, guess default `cc'. It has to be in system
CC ?= cc
# compile options
CFLAGS ?= -Os -Wall -Wpedantic -Wextra
# link options

Do we know if it was the lawyer's idea? One thing Molly was talking about was that legally SBF can choose to take the stand no matter what as defendant.

Seeing as the judge has been baffled by much of the defence I think SBF has been running it lol. Sam was burning through lawyers until he got to one that would finally listen to him.

On NPR this morning, they were speculating that maybe the legal team figured they didn't have much to lose by letting him testify. And he does have a track record of being a convincing speaker.

But they then came back to the fact that he's going to be cross examined. And the prosecuting team is not idiots.

If you take the stand, you are deemed to have waived your fifth amendment rights at least with respect to the matters you are asked on direct examination, so your cross examination subjects you to a lot of legal danger that you otherwise might have avoided.

Here’s what to know about the case.
The wait for Sam Bankman-Fried’s testimony will be a little longer.

The judge overseeing the disgraced crypto mogul’s federal criminal trial sent jurors home on Thursday afternoon and opted instead for a hearing to discuss Mr. Bankman-Fried’s pending testimony. The jury will return on Friday.
