> Nothing Happens Between Blocks

Actually, this is only partially true. With Lightning, things can most certainly "happen" in between blocks. Granted, some things that "happen" may never make it to the main chain, but many things will get rolled up and committed for all to "see".

This is, ironically, how reality works.


More better: "Beer Drone"


Perhaps one day we can order "pre-alcoholised" blood (or saline solution) via drones and avoid the hassle of having to physically drink a beverage.


Yeah, and bypass that whole annoyance of having to taste what we drink /s


Why there are so many online mattress-in-a-box companies?


You get it. I'm grateful.

Check out double binds. Viral negativity, defined.


Did a retreat. We ate at 6AM and 11AM. No food after Noon. Fasting for 18 hours a day, as we were designed. No stomach problems, felt great, real and regular.

Problem is, we eat a feast each and every night and were never meant to. Our success is killing us. Slowly and in a variety of horrific manners.


> Our success is killing us. Slowly and in a variety of horrific manners.

As opposed to our 'natural state', which would kill us rapidly and in a variety of horrific manners.


"as we were designed".

Sorry what does that mean? Do you think that 50 odd generations before us aren't changing our DNA with habit changes, while living in a different country for 2 years does?

Also we were designed?


Do you find asking stupid questions productive? Honestly curious about that one. Also, this question I ask is a leading one. Know the difference.

Design can be considered "doing" by an organism in its change for survivial. Our "doing" made us be efficient with food. It's not like it was laying around or something back when we evolved, like it is nowadays.

Doesn't matter if we have an excess of food laying around today, DNA-wise. It takes generations to evolve new organisms that can deal with glut or scarcity. We are evolved the way we are and unlike the dork who wants citation about it, you aren't going to get what you want just by demanding it.

Only doing will show the truth. Talking about it is pointless and counterproductive to the end goal of reality, which is basically the efficient search for interesting.


The natural state of humans in our early days may have involved the things you claim -- it's a tough claim to back up. But it almost certainly also involved a much shorter and more violent life than we enjoy today, when "our success is killing us".


> Fasting for 18 hours a day, as we were designed.

Is there any evidence for this at all, other than food was scarce? I can weave an equally compelling tale that as browsing hunter-gatherers we were eating pretty much constantly from the moment we woke to when we fell asleep, albeit in small quantities throughout the day.


Trolls are everywhere, nowadays. Time for identity to reign for a while.


Concioussness requires a body. This is how it is, here.


The key is imagine. We have no means by which to estimate the proposed loss in the future when it happens. Talking about such a "loss" is irrational, at best. It matters not if someone pirates software. If someone is pirating your software, and you care deeply about it, your model for making money is probably off.


We manifest what we see in ourselves.


Quick, someone name an Ethereum app that does something useful and is in widespread use.


etherdelta


Dai Stablecoin System


Is that in widespread use yet? I know it is in some use already, but not sure how much yet.

I look forward to when it works with being able to be backed with multiple types of assets (e.g. The digix asset)
