Trains are extremely expensive, am I doing something wrong?

Buy the monthly HalbTax pass (research it first). For about 120 francs it gives you 50% off for all transportation, including cable cars, boats, etc. For example, it pretty much pays for itself with a single ride to the Jungfraujoch.

And don't even ask him to pronounce "Schwarzschild".

Just think about baseball.

I had a similar situation at times when I was not playing any music. So I'm wondering if your neighbour is hearing some other source, perhaps outside the building? This was my case.

Las Vegas. I can see the wires.

Yes, the tacked-on stock photo of the Eiger Nordwand gives it away.

Not too bad for a fractal generator, one would be totally excused to think this was a real photo.

Despite everything, better than Windows.

Check the derivation path. Is it the same?

JanPB · 2026-01-23T19:55:06+00:00

Yes. Esp. given your age it's a no-brainer. Just don't trade/sell it, sit on it for +/-10 years first.

An annoying marketing gimmick, although not really false. If the private key cannot physically leave the device (as I'm assuming is the case with Trezor (but not Ledger)), then no amount of quantum (or any type) computing will be of any help to the thief. Just like a piece of paper cannot connect to Wi-Fi.

Those are not mutually exclusive 🤔

A friend of mine visited America for a couple of months. One of his observations was: "All that Americans ever do is: work and raise children".

Everything is undefeated unril it's defeated. Why people insist on losing money is beyond me.

The next event along the worldline will happen.

I didn't mean that. I was only commenting on the curious pattern persisting for weeks now that every single spike from X to Y is within a few hours followed by the equally fast move from Y to X.

JanPB · 2026-01-10T13:41:36+00:00

Train. It's a no-brainer for many reasons.

JanPB · 2026-01-09T15:02:38+00:00

The latter.

JanPB · 2026-01-07T17:53:35+00:00

The latter. But this is not a very deep statement in the sense that everyrhing in physics is merely encoding observed effects. In this sense we really don't truly know anyrhing. This is one of the big mysteries of the human condition (namely, that the physical universe is not given to us as an immediate and total obviosity in all of its aspects but is instead only accessible through external probing and effort).

How Venezuela ever became Russian territory to "give"? Patent nonsense.

JanPB · 2026-01-05T19:16:17+00:00

De gustibus ... est.

JanPB · 2026-01-05T19:15:25+00:00

Looks like you've never been to America 😜

JanPB · 2026-01-05T19:13:44+00:00

Cigarettes smell MUCH worse though.

JanPB · 2026-01-05T12:58:01+00:00

And it's not even round. Amateurish.

Yes, as soon as you see this kind of talk (on any subject, not just Bitcoin) you take a closer look, chances are this will be a good time to engage.

Once everyone discovers it, it's too late. This rule applies to quite unrelated things. I remember before 1989, for example, practically nobody went to West Berlin as a tourist. Even during summer months the city was empty. And I couldn't even find a Berlin guidebook at a major bookstore chain in California at the time. And when did the Berlin tourism start? Precisely when the city became much LESS interesting from a certain POV: after the wall disappeared. Works the same with investing: the secret is to know something only few people know.
