(Credit for the below list has to be given to u/BurritoFueled, who created the original list in 2014 and updated it a year later. Almost two-thirds of the items below are still from that original list. All I’ve done with the list is revive it a little bit by updating dead links and making little tweaks when necessary. Also, thanks to those that submitted new additions to the list last week. Over a third of the below items are new and a lot of the original items have had newer information added onto them.)
People are always looking for something to do around here. Maybe you’re a transplant, unaware of what this area has to offer, or maybe you’re a lifelong resident, tired of the same old thing. Well friend, if you fall into the latter category, do not despair. There’s actually plenty of things to do in the Sacramento area – things of interest to almost any lifestyle, personality, or budget.
So, whether you’re an athlete, geek, eccentric, hipster, weirdo, sexual deviant or just a normal person looking for a new activity, below is a list of activities for you to try. Please note that it includes only activities that take place at least a few times a year – no one-off events or festivals here.
Enjoy this list. If you have any suggestions of your own to add, comment below in this thread. I'll try to keep this as up to date as possible.
Away we go.

betray HUH SO HARD

Alright so, I took the default database from there https://skribbliohints.github.io/ and with the help of html, I extracted the words to a list separated by commas. It's useful when you want to translate those words into your native language.
Word of advice, when using google translate, do not put all words at once there, it can rapidly worsen the translation.
(And there is a last thing. Their algorithm of picking only custom words is not working really good, at least for me. Meaning that I often get duplicates, despite having a list this big and without duplicates. I'm still trying to find some solution to this, so if somebody is experiencing this as well, share the knowledge please, I will do the same.)
SOLUTION: Thanks for the reply from PepegaWR who identified the cause. I also tested it and there seems to be a custom words limit of 5000 characters. The easiest way in my opinion is to shuffle the words before each session to minimize the impact. Also thanks to the flynger who had the same idea before me :)
Finally, here it is, enjoy the scribbling ^^ :

Today we are proud to announce a major growth milestone for our company. There are now over 21 million dollars worth of cryptocurrency secured by Ballet wallets. This milestone was achieved only 16 months after the company was founded in March 2019, which makes Ballet one of the fastest growing wallet services worldwide.
Ballet’s flagship product is the REAL Series physical cryptocurrency wallet. It’s the world’s first non-electronic cryptocurrency wallet with multicurrency support. It was specifically designed to provide the ideal balance of security and usability for new cryptocurrency users. Ballet wallets are ready to use right out of the box; no computer setup, no recovery seed phrases, no passwords or pin numbers, and no KYC required. They are constructed of stainless steel for high durability, and elegantly crafted.
In addition to the physical Ballet wallet itself, there is a companion app called Ballet Crypto that provides a number of useful functions. You can monitor and organize all of your Ballet wallets, see their transaction history and aggregate value in real-time, exchange currencies within your wallet, automatically sweep funds from private key seed phrases into your Ballet wallet, and more. We are building a rich software ecosystem to support and enhance the Ballet user experience, and this is just the beginning.
The 21 million dollar milestone is an affirmative sign that trust in Ballet and recognition of the unique utility of non-electronic cryptocurrency wallets is growing. It may not seem like a big number, but the amount of value locked up in Lightning Network channels is only 12 million dollars. Although Ballet wallets and Lightning Network exist for very different purposes, the comparison offers a sense of scale. As we move forward, our foremost priority is to maintain the trust that our users have placed in us. Devotion to security is deeply embedded in the DNA of our company, and it always will be.

BITCOIN PRICE WILL HIT $1 MILLION AFTER ‘TWO MORE BUBBLES’: BOBBY LEE. (EmaanChuhadry) Bobby Lee expects Bitcoin price to reach $1 million in five to ten years after a couple of more bubbles.
Ballet crypto wallet founder, and ex-CEO and founder of one of China’s longest-running crypto exchanged, BTCC, Bobby Lee, put forward some lofty price predictions for Bitcoin at the just concluded Malta AIBC.
BOBBY LEE LAUNCHES NON-ELECTRONIC CRYPTO WALLET BALLET
In a recent interview, Lee announced his new company, Ballet, which has created a new hardware wallet for bitcoin and crypt0 investors around the world. According to his statement, the decision to launch a physical non-electronic wallet was inspired by the desire to make crypto closer to what people are already familiar with.
Bobby believes the fact that cryptocurrencies in digital form might be an obstacle to adoption and use. With a hardware wallet, everyone in the world would have a safe place to store their coins. The wallet’s primary coin is Bitcoin, although it supports a number of altcoins as well, including ETH, XRP, DOGE, and others.
The wallet even has its own distinctive smell, which serves to stimulate all five senses, but also has an anti-counterfeit purpose.
LEE IS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE FUTURE OF BITCOIN PRICE
Bobby Lee is also a well-known and vocal Bitcoin supporter, and self-proclaimed BTC maximalist. He believes that Bitcoin price is still only a fraction of the value of what it can achieve, and will, become in years to come. He called it a trillion-dollar asset class, and he expects its price to move further up.
As he explains it, Bitcoin price moves in waves, with each wave being a bubble that takes the coin’s price further up. He predicts that several new waves will arrive in the next several years, likely taking BTC to the $100.000-$200,000 range, and eventually even $1 million.
Lee claims that each new bubble takes Bitcoin price 10-20 times higher than the previous one, and he expects the trend to continue. This is why he supports and advises investing in BTC, and why he created a physical wallet for long-term investments.
What do you think about Bobby Lee’s bullish Bitcoin price predictions? Do you agree with the possibility that BTC might hit $1 million in the next five to ten years? Share your thoughts in the comments, and let us know.

Preamble
There are currently a lot of misconceptions and misinformation in the bitcoin community about the 'validity' of a blockchain or block, specifically in the case of hard forks. 'Validity' is mentioned a number of times in the bitcoin whitepaper and it is mentioned in different but similar contexts. Currently there seems to be a growing (incorrect) understanding that the validity of the chain is determined by whether the chain follows the original consensus protocol. If this were to be true, then any upgrades to bitcoin that fall outside the original consensus protocol that was initiated in bitcoin in 2009, would be considered 'invalid' and therefore not bitcoin. i.e. any and all hard forks would by definition be considered invalid. This would then mean that there is an argument that the bitcoin that currently exists is in fact not bitcoin at all, as it is not possible to deterministicly sync the full blockchain using a pre 0.8.1 bitcoin client. This is obviously not true as everyone considers the current network to be bitcoin, therefore there must be a more nuanced definition to describe validity. Another growing belief that is being pushed by certain people is that bitcoin consensus follows 'community consensus'. This is also not true, at least in the way it has been presented, and will be debunked in this article. Luckily there is a more nuanced and completed definition of 'validity' and it is described in the white paper but is not well understood by the community.
(If you want to skip straight to the meat of this article, scroll down to the section titled 'Validity of Network Forks'.)
In the whitepaper 'valid', 'invalid' and 'validity' are mentioned 6 times. A number of these times it is mentioned outside the context of network forks but I made a quick summary of them anyway below so as to clear up any confusion. The first time is in the section titled 'Network'. It states;

The steps to run the network are as follows: 1. New transactions are broadcast to all nodes. 2. Each node collects new transactions into a block. 3. Each node works on finding a difficult proof-of-work for its block. 4. When a node finds a proof-of-work, it broadcasts the block to all nodes. 5. Nodes accept the block only if all transactions in it are valid and not already spent. 6. Nodes express their acceptance of the block by working on creating the next block in the chain, using the hash of the accepted block as the previous hash.

The word 'invalid' is used in the same context in the 'Calculations' section of the white paper. Specifically, it states;

We consider the scenario of an attacker trying to generate an alternate chain faster than the honest chain. Even if this is accomplished, it does not throw the system open to arbitrary changes, such as creating value out of thin air or taking money that never belonged to the attacker. Nodes are not going to accept an invalid transaction as payment, and honest nodes will never accept a block containing them. An attacker can only try to change one of his own transactions to take back money he recently spent.

In this context 'valid' and 'invalid' is referring to the validity of individual transactions that have been published into a block. For example a transaction's outputs cannot spend/total more than its combined inputs. This meaning of 'valid' is well understood so I will not discuss this further.    
    One more place in the bitcoin whitepaper that contains a reference to validity is in the 'Incentives' section (This is one of the most important and most misunderstood and under-appreciated sections in the whitepaper). In it it states:

The incentive may help encourage nodes to stay honest. If a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he would have to choose between using it to defraud people by stealing back his payments, or using it to generate new coins. He ought to find it more profitable to play by the rules, such rules that favour him with more new coins than everyone else combined, than to undermine the system and the validity of his own wealth.

In this context Satoshi is talking about the fact that by undermining bitcoin and the blockchain by trying to steal from it, he is devaluing his own spoils. i.e. there is a disincentive to try and attack the network. This is unfortunately not a well understood concept but is not relevant to the word 'validity' in terms of hard forks.
Another section of the white paper that mentions 'validity' is in the 'Simplified Payment Verification' section. In this section it states;

While network nodes can verify transactions for themselves, the simplified method can be fooled by an attacker's fabricated transactions for as long as the attacker can continue to overpower the network. One strategy to protect against this would be to accept alerts from network nodes when they detect an invalid block, prompting the user's software to download the full block and alerted transactions to confirm the inconsistency.

In this context, an 'invalid' block is simply a block that contains invalid transactions (as discussed earlier in this article) that are being used by an attacker to steal funds. This only works on an SPV (simplified payment verification) node because they do not have the full blockchain to check against. As this is not relevant to the 'validity' of network forks it is outside the scope of this article.
   
   
Validity of Network Forks
The other places that the words 'valid' or 'invalid' are used in the white paper are all in the context that is relevant to network hard forks. In the 'Conclusion' section of the white paper it states;

They vote with their CPU power, expressing their acceptance of valid blocks by working on extending them and rejecting invalid blocks by refusing to work on them. Any needed rules and incentives can be enforced with this consensus mechanism.

The absolutely key word in these sentences is 'vote'. The mining nodes in the network vote in every block by accepting blocks they consider 'valid' and rejecting blocks they consider 'invalid'. Well this then begs the question; if the miners are voting on what is invalid and what is valid, what determines the validity? This is the crux of the issue. The currently held misunderstanding, often purveyed by a number of Core developers is that validity is determined by whether the blocks fit within the current consensus protocol. This is nonsensical. With each block being a vote, this would be the equivalent of when Fifa had a vote for their president in 2011 and the only name on the ballot paper was Sepp Blatter. In fact it is worse than that, as in the case for bitcoin it would be the same name (rules) on the ballet paper for every single block forever. Just like Fifa, this would make bitcoin into a kind of banana republic where the vote is totally meaningless, and in reality, there is no vote at all. This is in total contradiction to the white paper. In fact what it states is "Any needed rules and incentives can be enforced with this consensus mechanism." This means that the rules can be changed and voted upon if the majority of the hash power agrees.
There is another section of the white paper specifically dedicated to this concept and goes into further detail. Although it doesn't directly reference the words 'invalid' or 'valid' it does directly reference the voting of hashing power. This is in the 'Proof-of-Work' section and it states;

The proof-of-work also solves the problem of determining representation in majority decision making. If the majority were based on one-IP-address-one-vote, it could be subverted by anyone able to allocate many IPs. Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote. The majority decision is represented by the longest chain, which has the greatest proof-of-work effort invested in it. If a majority of CPU power is controlled by honest nodes, the honest chain will grow the fastest and outpace any competing chains. To modify a past block, an attacker would have to redo the proof-of-work of the block and all blocks after it and then catch up with and surpass the work of the honest nodes.

The first sentence "The proof-of-work also solves the problem of determining representation in majority decision making." directly links to the statement in the white paper conclusion that "Any needed rules and incentives can be enforced with this consensus mechanism.". What is being stated is that the rules of the system, and any changes to them, can be determined and enforced using the proof-of-work system. It is stating that the majority of the hash power decides their representation in decision making.
There is seemingly currently a sub-section of the bitcoin community and developers pushing the narrative that the 'users' control the network and determine what is 'valid'. This is wrong and is also explained in this section of the white paper. It states; "If the majority were based on one-IP-address-one-vote, it could be subverted by anyone able to allocate many IPs. Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote.". What this is saying is that with proof-of-work you cannot over inflate your representation beyond what you actually represent. There is no computational or systematic way for the network to determine a vote based on what 'users' 'want'. We can't use a twitter poll. We can't get a feeling from comments in a forum. Not only can you not know the intentions of any anonymous or pseudonymous social media accounts, we also cannot even know the intentions of known and identified entities. Even if you could get every supposed network participant in one room and have a direct vote, there would be no way to determine the difference between who is a real network participant who wants the network to thrive and who is against the network. There also would be no way to even apply the result of that vote into the network.
This is a very very key point in proof-of-work and why it was used in bitcoin.
The intentions of arbitrary entities CANNOT be determined. Miners are the only set of entities who's intentions we can determine. This is because bitcoin itself has given the miners their intentions and that is to make as much money as possible using bitcoin. This means that the miner's intentions are alligned with the network participants because the miners want to maximise the value of bitcoin to maximise their profit. If we cannot trust the majority of miners then the entire security model of bitcoin fails.
I will discuss his further in another article as it is a fundamental yet misunderstood aspect of bitcoin that needs further illumination.
   
   
Conclusion
Getting back to the crux of this article, how does this relate to 'validity'? Well as we now know, the miners are the ones who get to make the decision on whether a block is valid or not. This means that each individual miner is able to decide on what block is valid or not valid. This does not mean that different miners will always choose different arbitrary rules. In fact the opposite is true. In almost all situation the miners will chose to follow the exact same set of rules as all the other miners. This is because if one miner makes a decision to follow a new set of rules by considering blocks valid that other miners consider invalid, then their blocks will not be accepted by the rest of the network. In almost all situations this would be considered an adverse situation as the network is stronger working together as a whole, with as much hashing power and network effect as possible. In some situations like in the recent Bitcoin Cash fork it may be considered beneficial to enough entities and miners that a fork is made to occur. This sub-set of miners now view blocks with a new set of rules as valid, that other miners on the original chain consider invalid. This is when a hard fork occurs. Without going into too much detail on the economics of hard forks (an article about this will come later), it is important to realise that if the newly separated network has value and blocks are being mined on it then it will continue to exist. In this situation, what is a valid block? Well a block that is valid on one network will be considered invalid on the other and vice versa. Validity is in the eye of the beholder. From the perspective of a specific miner their own blocks are always valid, but they may consider blocks from other miners invalid and vice versa. The newly introduced concept by certain bitcoin Core developers that 'validity' is whether you follower the current chain or not, is at best incomplete and could be more accurately described as incorrect. Validity is determined by the miners as individual entities and not by the collective community. If the validity of blocks was determined by the collective community then there would be no need for miners at all and the network could be undermined trivially using a social attack.
This new narrative that validity is determined by the collective community has created perverse concepts like 'miners hard forking is an attack on the network', when really all that is happening is that miners are changing what rules determine what is considered valid by using their hash power to vote, which is something that was explained in the white paper before the genesis block had even been mined.
