Re: The Very Real Scenario Where Trump Loses and Takes Power Anyway
I 100% trust my doctor. In addition to being my doctor he is also the president of the four location medical group. He only believes in treating things if symptoms are present. Not doing a lot of testing to find something that reveals the possibility of something going on if you are otherwise exper...

It seems to me that the covid lockdowns were announced right in front of him. Perhaps he should have been paying more attention?

Re: BTC in the PP
expected return on Bitcoin becoming a global digital store of value (the blockchain / self custody).....then currency (lighting network custodial frame rails) But even the global digital store of value case has been kneecapped by the block size limit. As more people try to use the blockchain as a s...

Re: BTC in the PP
Watch it. WATCH IT. I'm afraid Bitcoin has become a crypto asset that is still LARPing as a crypto currency. I hold this opinion even though I'm probably in the minority of people who occasionally purchase things with Bitcoin (as recently as a few months ago). - Fees will continue to rise, graduall...

Re: BTC in the PP
Thus, a Bitcoin Standard, just like gold standard, would be actually a Bitcoin Certificate Standard, or a Claims on Bitcoin Standard (perhaps it didn't fit on the book's cover), but even more so. In practice, almost all bitcoin would be held in a few secure facilities that would be either controlle...

Unless you live in the city, you’ll probably encounter mugwort growing somewhere once you recognize it. It has been given the “weed” libel by gardeners, and understandably so. Warning here: https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-grow-mugwort-5077403 I bought some for calming tea. I love the bitterness fo...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
I used to be very much into that, although I didn’t grow them. I’ve never planted anything but basil and sunflowers. (I don’t really have a yard). Used to take valerian pills in college. My roommate noticed that they stink O0 Tulsi, on the other hand, I used to use as a soap. I thought it might kee...

Wow, very nice. My wife wanting to do something similar in our yard. Unfortunately, neither of us has a green thumb. Has maintaining your garden been particularly labour intensive? The more plants you touch, the greener your thumb gets. I haven’t yet had a year where I felt like I maintained the ga...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
I was dealing with some stress this spring, so I did some research into herbal medicine. I realized that a yard full of useful plants that I knew how to use was a form of wealth. I ordered some seeds. I was able to get several perennials established: valerian, licorice, astragalus, but failed with a...

Re: YouTube Junkie
Lyrics -- not a problem with YYZ of course. O0 You know I always found it odd that Elton John's lyricist posed with the band like he was part of it. I mean, his contribution was great, but is the photographer part of the band, too? I have no issue with that as he was a super integral part of Elton ...

Re: "U.S. Treasuries not the safe bet they once were"
I understand that perspective but don't necessarily agree. The last time the U.S. defaulted on its debt was 1971, and the time previous to that was 1933. We often paint this narrative that these were simply changes or repudiation to the gold standard, but in reality, they were simply defaults. Thos...

Re: Bitcoin mining
^^ old thread warning ^^^ I asked chatGPT how much all the Bitcoin in the world is worth. 🤖 said about US$585 billion. Big number but smaller than what I was expecting. At least there is a fixed limit on the number of coins. Satoshi sat down at their computer, wrote a computer program, and shared i...

Re: If
Voting is a suggestion box for slaves and makes you complicit with whatever the government does. It's a humiliation ritual. If you vote you're saying this system of selecting leaders is valid and therefore the "will of the people" is valid and executed by the gov't. If no one voted the go...
