Real utility bills of real citizens have doubled. All the associated taxes, delivery fees, etc. are clearly not included, or they’ve used substitution to alter the baseline basket they’re using to compute the metric (a common tactic). Ask

Yes, there are hardware wallets that support SLIP-39 natively; however, the sequence of derived wallets is different than that produced when you take the same seed and save it as a BIP-39 and derive the wallets from the BIP-39 mnemonics. Us

I think maybe you took it too personally. He said hiring professional fakers is bad. It is bad, and unfortunately a lot of founders do it? Those founders who hire typical "C-level execs", many of whom are skilled liars and so

It’s my civic duty to expose my daughter to hostile vagrants and vulgar uncontrolled boys harassing her in front of bewildered and powerless staff? I can’t imagine why these places are closing!

The Fed and everyone else involved has been lying about inflation so much, and for so long, that I wonder who would still believe such a preposterous lie again?

And I’m not even remotely interested in the “corrections” supplied by some group of right-thinking meddlers! This corruption must be disclosed as assiduously as the base dataset, if not more so.
