maximalism years ago. Now, when someone shitposts that "BiTcOiN iS gOiNG tO zErO," I set a 5-year reminder, and rub it in their smug faces.
This guy was off by 415% - meanwhile, his native currency lost 17% of it's value.
Enjoy.
It costs me around $2K/mo to run my YouTube channel (video/graphics editors, mostly), not including my time. I have 0 sponsors and I earn < $100/mo from ads. I do it because I love

Since

can’t seem to reply to a simple email, I’ve gone ahead and withdrawn $60k or so worth of mostly stable coins from their platform. You just lost a customer 👋🏼

UPDATE: We've made the difficult decision to try to leave Israel. We are no help here (not reservists), and want to get our kids to safety. Plus, we can leave our apt open for displaced families. We just submitted a form to the US consulate to request assistance for 6 people. 🤞
Update: my family and I are safe in Athens. We also managed to find displaced family of 7 that needs our home much more than we do right now.
From here, we will continue to support our country and countrymen in any way we can.
Thanks to those of you who’ve expressed concern.

Was wondering if we would still see you here Melissa. How do you feel about your president using rubber bullets and tear gas to clear peaceful protests demanding an end to inequality for African Americans? I honestly want to know.

I declined a review printer (no space), and the company's marketing agency wrote back to me:
"They told me to tell you it can print a small boat in 15 minutes."
So I accepted
I'm just imagining the person at the marketing agency thinking to themselves... "this hobby is weird."
I will personally volunteer to meet with

I recently found out that a hardcore Bitcoiner I know doesn't run a full node. When I asked why, she gave me the only answer that is legitimate:
"Because I've seen what happens to people who run a

Too true. Thanks,

My wife & I are considering taking our kids out of Israel, as neither of us are reservists or able to help beyond donating or letting people stay in our home.
If we do, I'm not sure how I'll continue the channel in the short term... but I'll do my best, because it brings me joy
Me trying resin for the first time: “wow. This is freaking cool”

Great! So all the republicans re-elected like Moscow Mitch and your lapdog Lindsay graham... we will ditch them too? If the ballots are rigged the whole ballot goes.
I *really* wanna do a 3D printing YouTube channel, but I feel like there are enough really good ones (
@CNC_Kitchen
is most intimidating)… plus I definitely don’t have enough space in my house LOL.
Seriously, if I didn't have a good baby carrier, I don't know how I'd get any work (or dancing) done.
I use it so much that the other day, someone ELSE's kid was crying, and I caught myself bouncing up and down out of instinct to try to calm her down 🤣
#dadlife
I've been a little bit down/stressed/bummed the last week or two, and today I just decided that I'm going to 3D Print stuff I want to print, even if it means videos will be delayed.
I feel SO much better.
Never underestimate the healing power of creating and doing what you love
No matter what atrocities are committed against my people... I could never imagine feeling anything except sorrow at the death of innocent children. Whether those children are from Gaza or Sderot, it is a tragedy.
My heart is broken.
Hamas is to blame for all of it.
I’ve visited 4 major 3D Printing companies in Shenzhen so far, and one thing stands out immediately: they ALL have
@BambulabGlobal
printers front and center on the desks of their engineers. They are working overtime to tear these machines apart, out-engineer, or upgrade them. 👇
Update: I didn't know they had a phone number. Maybe if they'd so much as auto-responded to support emails letting me know, I would've called it. Oh well.
Well, getting guests for a live video podcast on 3D Printing is proving more challenging than even I anticipated.
Looking for some brave folks to step up for this week and next... ;)
The awesome folks at

I'm slowly allowing myself back on Twitter, with a few changes:
• No iPhone app
• ≤5 min a day
• 0 tolerance for conflict; good-faith debate is fine, everything else = instablock
• My work speaks for itself. If not, I'll address feedback once and MOVE ON
Hold me to this.
I’ve been in Portugal for a week now and the only reason I can see to go back to Israel is that’s where my 3D printers are.
I’m buying a house here. Seriously.
Part of the reason my
#Bitcoin
YouTube channel is not profitable is because I regularly turn down sponsorships from companies I wouldn't recommend.
If you want to sponsor my content, you better be BTC Only, no get rich quick schemes, no staking, no algorithmic B.S. kthxbye
Ok so maybe I’m the only idiot content creator on earth who didn’t know this but uh did you guys know you can mount your camera from the hotshoe?!?!
This saves SO much hassle of tripods, or trying to contort magic arms around to the bottom and get them to hold imbalanced loads.
While testing a
@BambulabGlobal
printer, the marketing team and I managed to discover a small software bug. Suddenly, like doctors rushing into the delivery room during a birth, half a dozen engineers burst into the room and begin fixing it. Amazing.
@endeavoringE
I think you may have misread the piece. They were clearly shaming him and demonstrated his twisted thinking - and how he thinks he’s actually doing a service. At the end they show how he didn’t want to be exposed - and they exposed him. Nobody is glorifying
@Sa91af
I was wondering who would be willing to cheer and support killing children in their beds and live-streaming it.
Here you go. These are those people. This is what they support.
I talk a lot about Bitcoin. But I want you all to know: My keys are in multi-sig. My keys are in multiple locations hours apart. I cannot access my Bitcoin under duress. Please don't bother.

How many banks have disappeared since people began predicting that Bitcoin would?
WE DO NOT NEED BANKS ANYMORE. The future is here, it’s just not evenly distributed or accepted.
On the real though, all community drama aside? 3D printing has brought me more joy than any hobby I’ve ever had before, and now sharing it with all of you on video for a job is such a privilege.
I just happened to see
@ChuckHellebuyck
and
@RealSexyCyborg
's thread about Geeetech yesterday... politely declined their offer of a free printer. Solidarity with "open source maker" values is important.
Friends are in our safe room with us, reading work chat groups with colleagues from the south:
"They're in my house. Send help"
"My husband has been shot"
"They've moved into our house now. My kids are here. What do I do?"
This is our reality of conflict with Palestinians.
@muhammadshehad2
As you see from the comments, your cause is lost. Nobody has any more sympathy for the people who danced in the streets while their sons slaughtered our children, in their beds, and live-streamed it.
Shut down your account. Nobody wants to hear it.
Everyone pays a price to become a

Not the ones celebrating the deaths of Israeli children, slaughtered in their beds. The ones who want nothing but to live their lives peacefully.
Nothing and no one can save them from what Hamas has brought on them now.

This time, it feels different. They’ve crossed a line. This time, I suspect that the response will be much more final. Occupation, rooting out every last Hamas member… all possibilities are on the table.

"3D Printing Can't Solve Everything"... or can it?
For years, I've had a pesky problem with my thoracic spine that requires a good crack... I can't get to it by myself, and I don't like the chiropractor in my area...
Let's see if we can't design something to solve this?

@OPENDIME
to me? Bitcoin already allows me to securely send any amount I want to anyone else in a trustless fashion. Taking Bitcoin and putting it into a physical form is like taking good money and buying an iTunes gift certificate... it just limits it
Tomorrow is Yom Kippur: a day of fasting and repentance, a time to reflect on past missteps, and an opportunity to reset, so that you can do - and be - better moving forward.
I'll be doing just that.
I am deeply saddened by the situation in Gaza. Unlike our enemies, most Israelis I know do not celebrate the deaths of children or civilians. I wish there were a way to rid the world of Hamas without making those people suffer… but Hamas has intentionally made that impossible.
I realized something this morning:
I like

One exciting product launch, without delays, and with new features, was enough to get me excited about their products again.
