Ran 30km this morning as part of my training. Tired, sweaty, and stinky afterwards. 2 weeks until the big race… under trained and still feel out of shape. But the run must go on.
Keep working and keep it real.

Have you stopped eating cereal?
The other day I randomly tried it again after years and it was delicious!

I eat fairly healthy but I have a mild addiction to ice cream. I personally wouldn't stock it (out of sight, out of mind and all) but my wife likes to buy it so the kids can have ice cream cones as a treat once and awhile. I have found that if I am craving ice cream, I can satisfy the craving with a bowl of cereal. Not sure how good of a trade off that is, maybe it is worse, but intuitively feels like a victory.

i enjoy the simplicity and low cost of cereal and consume it regularly but i try to avoid the processed ones that comes with added sugar and what not. I add among other things berries, chocolate, fruit to increase the flavor and texture myself and it also has the added benefit of extra vitamins and minerals.

I prefer nuclear war over traditonal war. Because with Nuclear war i asume it over faster but the end result is a similar kind of destruction. For example look at Berlin after WW2, it looked like it practially had been nuked. So whats the differene? Most nukes have a blast radious of less than 5km afaik. If nuclear war breaks out, you have to be really unlucky to be hit by one. These blast radiuses also need perfect flat terrain, its possible that the neibourough structure, house or hill will absorb the blast and ur property will be fine. Just trying to be optimistic.

"About 30% of Berlin's surface was destroyed during the WW2. In the case of Warsaw, however, estimates indicate that between 80-90% of the city was destroyed."
How funny is to make an example of 30% destroyed capital of invader who started the whole mess,
instead of at least 80% destroyed capital of Poland, the biggest victim of those German barbarian invaders.
So, Warsaw looked like it practially had been nuked, and Berlin was in much better condition.

I have been reading about the financial disaster unfolding in Argentina. Checking the bitcoin all time high price in Argentina pesos really explains how much bitcoin can benefit the people of this beautiful country.
This will start happening all over the world.

The disaster has been unfolding since more than twenty years ago. One Argentinean peso used to be worth one USD back then, now it's worth less than half a cent.

It should be an interesting next 18 months. A lot of supply could come to market between now and the halving. Mt gox payouts plus US selling 45k more coins in various tranches over the year. The fact they are selling spot rather than OTC is curious. Makes me think they want to suppress the price as part of their Chokepoint 2.0. Also, we could see extreme conditions in the economy and potentially a credit event. If Bitcoin holds up well through all this the halving narrative will likely pick up steam in late Q4 and start getting priced in.
I have no idea on number of days but if I had to guess 655 days.

411 days is quite specific, how did you arrive at that?
I may as well be an optimist. The snail reaches his destination EOY (day 260).
