@steveway7 Yeah it’s looking pretty intense as that storm cell moves through.
It’s not branching lightning, either. Just big fat orange bolts with biggish gaps between them.

I dunno that this DeMorgan is exactly the same corporate entity as the one from years ago. I suspect not.
“The results of this research is what Bitcoin and the Blockchain are about. A free system to transfer and maintain property.”
“There is a reason we have been building supercomputers and haven’t been bitcoin mining.”
“Freedom is the core of what bitcoin … is about. [We] have been working for several years now on solutions to the issue of property.”
This is the only blog post on DeMorgan Ltd’s website: “Human rights and property”, dated 23 Oct. demorgan.com.au/blog_151023_hu…
But The Media etc go on and on and on and on and on about every single problem without waiting for a coroner’s report.
It was a simple calculation, I recall. Police estimate of E trade -> number of pills per year -> c.f. no of problems, and same for aspirin.
As a @newscientist editorial said years ago, MDMA is safer than aspirin. Drug safety alone, it’s corner-shop stuff. twitter.com/SnarkyPlatypus…
That probably means he was working for the secret alien conspiracy, and I blinked slightly as they erased my memories.
I don’t know what I mean by that, precisely. You know when you have an emotional memory, but nothing specific can be recalled? That.
But it triggered my vague memories of Wright as being seen as a curious figure in the infosec community, even back then.
It really wasn’t much more than meeting with a friend who worked at DeMorgan, visiting their office, and laughing at the whole idea.
Should I mentioned the discussions I had about maybe working for DeMorgan back when it was your usual sort of infosec outfit? Nah.
So @GizmodoAU also has a “Craig S Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto” investigation, linking to DeMorgan Ltd. gizmodo.com/this-australia…
