Daily FORTH snippet #3
Here we call the previously discussed program stored in the eeprom in the expansion board. The returned function pointers are stored in respective arrays that are allocated according to how many expansion slots (only 3 at the moment, max 8)
After that, "init" pointer is fetched from function pointer array and executed. It returns the number of channels (one channel per tick is processed) and that is stored.
Daily FORTH snippet #2
This is the source code for the 0-10V Analog Input expansion board. I.e. the code that sits inside the EEPROM mentioned in FORTH snippet #1.
No comments, because first batch of boards were only made with 2kB of eeprom.
At the end is the return of the function pointers, that was mentioned previously. The tick (') is "get address of next token.
One could argue that the Constitution is an illusion of security, as well as argue that the U.S. Dollar is an illusion of security.
It shows us that security is only as good as our active efforts to ensure it.
Personal responsibility, combined with continuous discernment and active participation, provide the opportunity to convert those illusions into reality.
The Great Awakening is shifting many of us back into active participation in ensuring our security. You might notice that it almost appears like an insurmountable objective, and causes outright despair in those who just watch mainstream media.
It would have been easier to ensure our long-term security if we had engaged years ago, but so be it. We can choose to:
Curl up in a fetal position and give up
Ride out the storm as a hedonist
Ride out the storm as a lazy optimist thinking that others are fixing it for you
Join forces with others to identify and chase any silver linings that we can perceive in this fog of war
It is only through long study that one can choose to persistently be hopeful, while working with like-minded individuals, regardless of the ongoing precipice narrative and rampant defeatism.
The numbers of the optimistic continue to grow. The numbers of the desperate for change continue to grow. We are joining forces and we are all shaping the future.
🇬🇧 The EU bans anonymous hosted crypto wallets and cash payments over €10,000. For #Pirates, it is clear that anyone who tampers with cash is tampering with our financial freedom.

When will people see it's ALL a con? What will it take? Do they, personally, have to be strung up by their toes before they understand?

God damn I'm still pissed off from fucking Slave Extortion day.
This was the very end of the episode.
I don't have much additional commentary, other than to reiterate, if Tucker genuinely believes what I'm left to infer, I wish he'd just fucking say it:
Government is illegitimate, non-consensual violent entity and everyone involved is complicit and an agent of Evil. Simple as.
Tucker still remains an enigma, but at this point it's the kind of thing I could only sus out talkin' around a bonfire. 🤷♂️
