I hope so, although it might serve as an easy way for companies to bribe the first lady Musk for favours with Trump

It would be nice to have a simple way to block the user base too

Or run the raid 5 or 6 separately, with hardware raid or mdadm

Even for simple mirroring there's an argument to be made for running it separately from btrfs using mdadm. You do lose the benefit of btrfs being able to automatically pick the valid copy on localised corruption, but the admin tools are easier to use and more proven in a case of full disk failure, and if you run an encrypted block device you need to encrypt half as much stuff.

as long as your a minor enough criminal for no one with resources to bother tracking you down using the public data on the chain

It's all the bad idea of regular digital elections, with the additional stupid of being more public, complex and wasteful

Only the NFTs didn't do anything of the kind, unless backed up by actual legal contracts in which case the NFT was pointless, and you could just have had the legal contracts

The only reason it had a brief flash in the pan was that it was an attractive grift for speculators betting there were greater fools, and when the fools ran out so did the NFTs

The blockchain is always "gonna become crucial" in lots of things, depending on whatever looks popular at the moment, yet it never does because it is obviously a bad idea.

It's a grift, and if you're not an active grifter, you are the mark

You get pretty far with just clone, pull, add, commit, push

There are some issues with BMI, at least for individuals, but it's pretty OK for populations.

By BMI alone it could be possible that they US now has 3/4 really successful body builders, but I imagine we'd have noticed

It's also probably less bad for individuals than people make it out to be. People have a warped sense of what is a healthy weight nowadays and shooting the messenger is easier than looking into the message.

It sounds like you're feeling unsatisfied with your current life and what you spend money on, and that you have a lot of ideas for what you could enjoy more but you have a hard time getting started.

Completely changing your life is hard, and you probably won't go 0 to "move to thailand" in one day, especially not if you are lacking energy. You might need to start with smaller things. Do just one of the smaller things you think you might enjoy. Go to the gym once. Have a board game night once. Spend the 40 minutes on getting to a DND group once. Then keep doing small things that make you happier or bring you closer to something that does.

Also, if you like going to thailand, and don't like yardwork or getting kitchen supplies etc, budget accordingly. Do the mimimal spend you can on yard stuff. It's OK to not like that. Talk to your wife and find a compromise budget if you need to.

I think this will be easy to hire for; imagine the damage you can do to competition, or the low cost regulatory capture you can achieve, by just getting one clever manipulator near this not too bright narcissist
