The idea that politicians will say terrible things and get away with it by pretending they didn’t mean it, unless it gets positive reception from people who also think that terrible things, in which case they totally weren’t pretending about it.
My wife sprained her ankle so badly that some of the ligaments tore. Her orthopedic doctor said she wasn’t allowed to walk for 2-3 weeks and even after that it was light light light exercise / PT
Did you miss the TL;DR where if you take out the opening and closing accounts, it’s three steps long?
Indeed, I found crypto far more convenient than cash for my personal situation
I promise I put in about 20 times as much detail as is necessary to try to distill a bunch of knowledge into a Lemmy comment lol. If I needed to pay a merchant in crypto now, it’d be a 5 minute affair.
Hope I at least helped!
Transfer crypto

is probably fine. The link shown in my browser is https://www.kraken.com/u/trade/new-order
. If it’s showing the wrong cryptocurrency, you can change which cryptocurrency is shown with the spyglass just under the Trade
menu option. It should show some cryptocurrency pair like BTC/USD
or ETH/USD
.Withdraw BTC
and review the transaction information to ensure everything looks correct. You should see the name you entered for the vendor’s wallet, the beginning and end of the vendor’s address, the network should read Bitcoin
, the withdrawal amount should be correct, the withdrawal fee should match the fees posted by Kraken at the link above, and the total should be the sum of the two BTC amounts.Sure thing, here’s how I would go about it if I needed to buy something using Bitcoin (BTC) and assuming I’m using Kraken. Many of the steps would be nearly identical if you needed a different cryptocurrency or exchange, just switch out the instructions as needed. I’m also writing from a US point of view. Hopefully someone else will come along to peer review this as well so you’re not just taking my word for it.
This turned out quite a bit longer than I meant it to since I tried to add some explanations for each item. It’s tedious, but not hard once you know what you’re doing. I only do it if I get a good discount or if there’s an extremely compelling reason to use cryptocurrency. TL;DR at the top, it’s split into two comments since it didn’t want to post as one comment due to length.
TL;DR:
https://kraken.com
. Please do not copy or click on the link I just put in without verifying with additional sources such as Wikipedia, [DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/q=Kraken+crypto exchange), or other reliable sources such as Forbes or NerdWallet.https://www.kraken.com/c/funding/deposit?asset=USD&assetType=fiat
, I would assume yours should be identical.In all seriousness, I do actually pay for a few things using crypto, one example of which is a privacy-focused VPN. It’s quite painless once you get the hang of what you’re doing.
The first thing to note is that almost all cryptocurrencies are approximately 0% anonymous. There are some privacy focused cryptocurrencies, but with those it’ll add a required step of creating a personal wallet to act as a bridge. So if privacy is your goal, just know it’ll be a bit more involved. If it’s BTC or LTC, it will be trivially easy to trace back to your verified exchange account.
The other thing to note is required hold times when depositing fiat currency (such as dollars or euros). Unless you’re wiring the money or using an instant / near instant transfer method, the cryptocurrency exchange will often prevent you from transferring cryptocurrency away until the money is fully cleared (usually ~3–7 days).
Finally, I would recommend Kraken over Coinbase, primarily because their fees are lower but I also trust them more.
If you do want to use cryptocurrency, I’m happy to walk you through it here in this thread (Never respond to a private message that is crypto related, though because they may have your best interests at heart or they may not).
All that being said, it depends on the discount you’re getting, if it’s like 5% off, probably not worth the hassle. If it’s $100, might be worth it to you. Happy to help either way (even as a learning opportunity). No sweat if it’s just not worth it to you, that’s definitely fair and I certainly pay for most things with my credit card because it’s a lot easier.
TIL… thanks for this. I did not actually know about the history of browsers.
Thanks for this! I’ll look into it
Any brand recommendations to look in to?
Man I misread your comment as going in the other direction and I was about to go off about how good a cheap Lodge cast iron pan is.
I use Voyager
I really enjoy that my Lemmy client shows the community at the bottom so I can get confused for every Onion article that shows up randomly.
The boiling point of pure ethanol is 78°C / 173°F [1], so it would not turn into a gas at normal conditions.
Pure ethanol is very hard to produce because it forms an azeotrope with water in the ~96% [1] range, meaning it cannot be distilled further than that, it must be separated by other means.
Alcohol in spirits is usually diluted because of taxes on higher percentage alcohol, consumer preference, or being able to make more bottles with the same amount of ethanol. I believe using percentages for alcohol began when ye olde England was putting taxes based on the percentage of alcohol in the drink [2].

Jesus, yeah I don’t think there’s ever a reason where that could be construed as anywhere near okay. Hopefully the neighbors know that the (logical) rest of country is in their corner.
My guesses would be:
What about New Outlook (New) with New in the icon?
How else are you to know which version you’re using??
