IT’S THE FEDS!

Lead is not magnetic.
It's also non ferrous, which is rather more the point

First ever bitcoin purchase was literally pizza lol
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I didn't say anything abt the first purchase so unsure how this is relevant
Edit: excerpt
Silk Road proved the market for secure anonymous transactions based on blockchain ledgers, and the viability of cryptocurrency in general. Before the Silk Road marketplace, Bitcoin was mainly a novelty, with the first Bitcoin transaction famously being 10,000 BTC for 2 pizzas. Shortly after the Silk Road darknet market took off, Bitcoin reached $266 per coin, and the Silk Road marketplace became a $200 million operation.

Genuinely, does growing weed consume that much energy now? With the LEDs lamp?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]It depends. The grow light i use is an AC Infinity Ionframe that can go up to 280w panel and usually grow two plants with it but that's quite a bit of overkill so I have it turned down to maybe about 150w.
But I'm not running a grow op or anything, I just have a little 4'x4' grow tent for personal use. But if you were running a grow op you'd have maybe 10-12 plants and they'd be much bigger so you'd need more lighting per plant as well.
It's not an unimaginable amount of heat but it's definitely something you have to keep in mind. At home I have a little 3" duct running all the time to cycle fresh and cooler air into the tent to keep from cooking the plants. And at work (I work at a legal weed company) we have a couple people whos entire job is just managing the climate controls to keep temps, humidity, even air pressure and speed of the airflow within spec.

There definitely have been a case where the police, observing things with thermal cameras from a helicopter (for it is in the US where this tale happened), observed some house with a highly suspicious heat signature. ...Some dude's crypto mining operation.
Well, that was definitely indirectly drug related.
In theory it's supposed to be unconstitutional to use FLIR on a house without a warrant to find evidence. In practice though, I'm sure they can easily ruin someone's life for a while based off of "heat signatures". This isn't even mentioning what they could get away with if the Feds are involved. Who even knows anymore?

Uh i didn't know you could grow servers. I assumed they were assembled in factories, being machines and all.
Does anybody have experience with this process? Where do you get the seeds from? What soil do they grow in? Should you water them, or not (considering them being machines and all)? Do they need sunlight exposure? And if yes, how much of it?
They grow in high-silicate soil.

If black people like the sun too much, probably.
Or if sunshine starts competing with wood pulp for paper manufacturing.

Just ftr: Everyone uses drugs about equally. They just arrest Black people disproportionately for it.

Fucking carrots??
Hah! Best comment I’ve ever seen

Can't use it to find evidence or get a warrant, but absolutely do use it to figure out who to target/where to look for evidence.
Herring Vs. United States set the de facto legal basis that allows for this sort of evidence laundering.

True, but specifically USA targeted black people to fill their prisons with slave labor. Crack to this day is still treated much worse than cocaine despite the insane multiplier having been lowered.
