I read the book and was quite enjoying it until the painfully long part about the guy bizarrely falling in love with an imaginary girlfriend as part of some kind of bet with his real girlfriend. The most painful and embarrassing thing I have ever read. I didn't know where to put myself. I had to quit reading so never got to the 2nd book. Was that scene covered in the TV series?
You can heat your house with old s9s. You need to use to power anyway (assuming you live in an area with a winter season) so why not stack some KYC free sats while doing it? If you underclock and use quiet gaming fans you hardly notice them.
This. His Psychological Significance of the Bible lecture series was his high water mark. It's all been down hill since his subsequent breakdown.
Miners leaving the US would be good for Bitcoin. Far more concerning is this:
Tax long-term capital gains and qualified dividends at ordinary income tax rates for taxable income above $1 million and tax unrealized capital gains at death above a $5 million exemption ($10 million for joint filers)
Create a 25 percent “billionaire minimum tax” to tax unrealized capital gains of high-net-worth taxpayers
This is how they seize your corn, freaks.
This is how it starts, and besides, everyone will become a nominal "billionaire" in the next couple of decades.
I'm the opposite. I'm selective with what I read, and I read a little every day so that even if I'm maybe reading 5-6 books at once I get through them all eventually. Some get under my skin and I'll do nothing else but read them until I'm done. And I frequently purge my read books to get rid of anything pretentious or cringe. I try to keep it so only the absolute classics that still influence me and I still respect survive. I'm pretty sure my book shelf will end up getting me cancelled /arrested so I certainly don't go out of my way to have it in frame on Zoom calls.
Yes but it's pretty much my only remaining vice. Don't drink or snack or smoke etc. If I lost coffee it would be bleak. I do think if you're going to have one vice coffee's probably one of the most benign.
I think the Apostle Paul put it best
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control,[a] lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
If you put it in a secular way I suppose it would be about making sure you leave everything out on the field. Make sure that you are on your death bed with zero regrets. Make sure that you can give account (even to yourself/loved ones) that you did everything you could.
Curtis Yarvin is essential reading on Lincoln and the civil war. We have been lied to about the money, we have been lied to about public health, and we have been lied to about history https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/
They didn't go door to door for gold, afaik. Just the threat will be enough to get most to comply. They have most holders on a list thanks to KYC. Just a threatening letter from the exchange and a few high profile prosecutions should be enough, like it was for gold.
I see it the opposite way to Balaji. I think it's the set up for a 6102. They create this paper and say "see, you can hold it here. It's regulatory sound, tax efficient, and no need to mess about with complex nerdy stuff". Then they turn around and say, "well no need for self hosted wallets now. What are you, some kind of terrorist!?". And then they outlaw self custody and demand all coins are handed to exchanges in exchange for paper claims. Eventually there will be a "national emergency", and the paper claims will not be honored. I.e. exactly what happened with gold. History is not going backwards, imo, it's repeating itself.
Don't want to hijack the thread but if anyone knows good cyber security podcasts (audio) it would be great to hear about them.
Great post. I've heard that prices in Istanbul airport are comparable if not more than other major airports. What comes across from your post is that it's really hard to come out on top against inflation. Even if you do all the right things you end up getting screwed up one way or another.
1 I think would go for any culture 2 I have never heard of and may be particular to your wife 3 again seems universal and 4 again fairly universal especially if one's wife is particular about things. (I'm not sure it's about "facilitating her movements" as much as just getting p****d off that something you need is not where you expect it when it's needed). I don't think this is a list that can be used to stereotype only Japanese women or even women in general as many men I expect would also be unhappy with 1 and 4.
