Ignore it, Make sure your lawyer is ready to handle it if anything ever come of it. If they had a warrant you would already know.

Unnecessary.. What would be nice though is a helmet with a camera to replace regular auto-darkening hoods. Maybe with bluetooth so you could rock out on the job, maybe some cams in the back for fire detection.

Biden is literally on video promising that these pipelines would be destroyed, so there is that.

I can say from plain observation this is wrong, On many engines you can audibly hear piston slap, older worn crank bearings make a banging noise when the engine is cold. The article cites fuel efficiency, but fuel efficiency is not what most people are concerned with, they care about the longevity of their vehicle.

This is a terrible argument, and clickbait. Obvious enough to anyone who actually understands how bitcoin, or eth work, it does not fit the definition of a ponzi scheme. Most tech stocks fit the definition better. Just because a few centralized banks, (FTX, centralized crypto exchanges are banks) have failed, means nothing, since the original idea of cryptocurrency was to do away with centralized institutions like this.

He means to explore these subjects by themselves, i.e. drawing upon the current body of knowledge. This technique works very well, i educate 3 children at home, and more or less their own interests guide their learning, only occasionally do i feel the need to put them onto the path of a specific subject.

Mining isn't killing the planet either, mining is securing a ledger. These technologies are for the first time in human history, divorcing the power of the purse from governments, who have only ever abused it. It is the human rights issue of our age, rendering things like inflation and financial censorship impossible without resorting to threats of violence. They provide an open, public ledger enabling new forms of ownership in a trust-less, transparent system, we can use to organize solutions previously mired in human bureaucracy.

Yes, but with an open, global system like bitcoin, they can't do this any longer.

Governments are proven oppressors, Every single mass abuse of human rights, war, genocide has been carried out by government. Taking the power of the purse from government is the next big human rights issue of our age, rendering taxation by inflation impossible, and empowering individuals to hold government accountable.

In the US, i think to intercept mail via USPS they must have a warrant, Then they send a postal inspector to deliver it. Don't accept packages of drugs from a postman hand delivering it, and you should be good?

The banks are the sham, not crypto. Crypto is new, it will eventually replace the legacy financial system. Being a Luddite is not a way forward, processes will improve, the systems will mature. this is the akin to the "bagphone" era of cellphone adoption, blockchain technologies will eventually prevail.
