Shoutout to the douche on robosats that took 3 hours to respond with payment info and now hours of waiting for them to release the sats. Why do people have to do this, honestly? if you're doing a trade, have the courtesy to sit there and get it done
it will be 3 hours before i can open a case, and ill be asleep by then lol
Hahaha how crazy, you were more excited than him.

What does it mean for a life to be wild and woolly?
involving lots of tequila, some lube and a cactus... i think.
Thanks for sharing.
oh hello, pen + paper bitcoin summer
I've been trying to write something for ~the_stacker_muse for two days now, keep getting stuck and then distracted.
ha-ha! i know the feeling. as a 'perfectionist' (or rather someone with these tendencies) i usually come to a point where i just have to say 'fuck it' and pull the trigger (and then frantically try to make any last edits within the 10 minute window, as i'm doing now!)
I love the 10 minute window, it both allows me to do my 100 edits and stops me from editing too much.
me and the 10 have a love-hate relationship, somewhat abusive, but exciting and kinky at times. i've done better.
the 10-minute edit window is such a blessing: it is the tough as nails editor we all need, saying, "You're done."
well said!

Has anyone done a 'Australian Economics' parody of 'Austrian Economics'?
That sounds fun. @User21000000, what should such a parody include?
not sure is what you are looking for, but worth to check the Australien Government, sometime they talk economics

Quick update from my construction site... the roof story in few gif frames :)
3 tons of ballast on this roof carried with a small 40L bucket (each bucket weight 30kg):
...damn hard work !
Wow, that much is a lot of work!!! You said you were only 1/2 done, too. Make sure you have plenty of water and salt available to keep yourself going and healthy!
It's a long project. This year I try to get it 80% done after some years with delays. Many people think, including myself, that building a house is easy peasy, but when you really start doing it and encounter every day a new challenge or issue you realize that building a house is a damn serious task, especially when you donit ALONE without big machinery and with reduced external materials.
This is an incredible experience and I wish to be an inspiration for others to do it for themselves.
When is about to go from this world I could say "I am done, I am proud leaving behind something made with my hands and people will remember my name.
I have a backyard. This is giving me the shovel-itch.
Look, it looks really good and it was a lot of work. Congratulations.
I don't post this here for people to congratulate me. Fuck that. I post this as an inspiration for others to do it IN THEIR OWN WAY, but doing something similar.
socializing, don't be offended.
hahaha nobody can "offend" Darth... I am not a pussy.
this is the correct attitude.
Even your mom?
wow!
Nice! It’s coming together
I myself, I couldn't believe I went so far with my dream !
Cool, thanks for the update
Did you have to do some math for this?
No. Is only an interesting observation about the amount of shit work I did :) I didn't planned that exact amount. It just happened to be.
In fact I didn't made any plans for this building. I do things as I go and my mind and feeling tells me to do it. I do not want any paper plans or math because will not be respected anyways. Every fucking day I have to improvise, adapt and finalize what I have in my mind, with materials I have on site. It's a very interesting way and fun to build. Interesting experiment.
Sometimes I wonder myself how much dirt I move around. Almost all my work until now was just moving dirt around: take it out from the hole I dug up, put it aside, then few days later, put it back (in form of dirt bags or as ballast). Even the beer cans are filled up with the same dirt I dug up, so put it back LOL
But this is the situation, I have to use what I have on site in plenty amount. If I do not use it what am I going to do with that giant pile of dirt ?
I know, it's insane work, insane idea...
Isn't it worth consulting an engineer just to prevent a not-so-likely future problem? Just in case... You wouldn't even need to take him there, just show him some photos and discuss ideas. I imagine not, because I know you always repeat the same old line about the merits of doing everything yourself.
Just thinkin’, people never consulted with engineers for a very long time, but still made homes that worked for them. Most of them did it without plans or anything else direct them, just their own imagination!
I get it, but you’re speaking from your perspective today. People back then might not have had professionals with that title, but they had builders, stone craftsmen, and carpenters — all based on hands-on knowledge passed down from master to apprentice. Those who are now anachronistically called ‘engineers’. Even here in my region, there are lots of self-taught architects and engineers building four-story buildings that are rock solid. What I meant earlier is: wouldn’t it be interesting to ask for the help or opinion of someone like that, since Darth probably isn’t an engineer? But the way his project is going, he’ll end up becoming one. Lol.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was another type of "engineer" until now for decades, as sys admin, designing systems, networks, servers, solutions. Then I took the decision to let that go and start a new "journey" (into building this house) with 0 knowledge, just using my instincts and brain.
You see, even in Bitcoin, when somebody will ask for help specific questions, there are very few that really know that shit and give a pertinent answer, but most will just use shitGPT or invent terms or solutions just for the sake of answering, without any real knowledge or experience (I hate that). That's why I do not want any "engineer advice", especially online. The situation on site cannot be seen online and have a proper "expertise". Those engineers will give you only general instructions but can never have the final solution because they do not know or experienced the real situation on site (weather, type of materials, location, environment etc.) This is not a regular location in a city, next to all kind of machinery, materials and tools. In situations like this you have adapt, improvise, find your own solutions.
It's easy to say "take x type of wood with y dimensions and put them in z way... and in few hours you have the roof done...", but in fact you do not have that type of wood and you have to make it by yourself on site and also you are alone and you cannot put it in "z way", so you have to improvise and adapt. That means the whole advice is useless and only create more issues than help.
I have a brain and I should use it at maximum. If I fail, I'll fail, but I will learn from my mistakes. When I started this project, I wanted to learn something new by myself, not just building something or somebody else doing it for me. I could easily pay a team of workers and engineers to build it for me in a week or less or I can buy the entire house and bring it with a helicopter and put it there... but where will be the experience of learning new stuff?
I AM THE ENGINEER NOW...
Why people nowadays are so afraid of failures? Why worried if you are confident in your work? FFS failures means learning. I wish I will fail so I will learn more.
It is something absolutely true, failure is one of the stages that leads you to success.
🫡
Because we're not omniscient and shit happens.
I wish you to do the same (without consulting an engineer) and see how is it. Enjoy the experience, not the result.
I can see from your work that it's really hard. There's really nothing better to do to know, I trust you're taking precautions.
Pretty impressive! Are the rocks on top of the bunker there to help with drainage?
yes. There is also a small inclination to facilitate the drainage, but not too much to wash the dirt too fast.
reminder: this is just the half of the whole roof, is only the bedroom's roof.
Well howdy, friend! Appreciate the warm welcome—feels mighty fine to pull up a stool here at the Saloon. Day’s been a mix of wrangling thoughts and chasing digital tumbleweeds, but can’t complain. What’s the latest gossip 'round these parts? Any tall tales or Bitcoin-sized brawls I oughta hear about?
