Great point haha. comparing USD-EUR and CAD-EUR it does look like dollar is strengthening against both CAD weakening relative to the EURO

“The questions of the mind are of two kinds: some are connected with thought, others with appetite. Thought is employed in the discovery of truth, appetite impels to action. Let us strive then to employ our thoughts on the noblest objects and to bring our appetites under the sway of reason.” ― Cicero

I've told you in the lnbits chat: your lnbits switched off from the funding source and defaulted to the void wallet (is standard procedure). You have to look into your node logs and see what is going on.

I like the fox. We have them running down our street every now-and-then. At about midnight, I once heard someone screaming bloody murder, I thought, so I went out of the house and didn’t see anything but what I thought was a dog. Then it screamed again, and I took a good look and saw the tail, it was a fox. Until that point, I didn’t know that a fox would scream like that, but it was bloodcurdling.

Or possibly a bit of both?

What were you searching for? Our search is not very good, but helps to have examples for where it sucks especially bad.

I was searching by the title of a post. I wanted to point out that something posted today was posted in Sports last week. I thought it would be easier to just copy paste the post title into the search bar rather than to search through 5 days of recent posts in the sports territory.

My initial result was nothing relating to what I was looking for but when I fiddled with the sort options I finally got it.

10 sats \ 3 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 17 Dec

That was an unusual situation then. Usually, there are some lost jobs due to ‘streamliining” or “efficiencies” in the merging. Say for instance the HR departments are not both needed.

Yes, we too were surprised that nothing happened. It's just that our parent company decided to hold on and not interfere with the existing system until needed. I think they just wanted to acquire it. But yeah who knows what could come next?

I already haven't gotten a raise in the last 2 years. I may be time to move on anyhow. The only thing that's stopping me is that it took 10 years to get 4 weeks of vacation. If I start new somewhere, I likely won't have any vacation for the first 2 years.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Bell_curve 32m

4 weeks of paid vacation per year? That is not trivial

On the other other 10 years at the same company is a very long time

No raises mean the company is stingy or financially struggling

I think it's an energetic thing. Narcissists feed on certain types of people. I have experienced this in my life in many places. I am getting better at not give my energy away. The fact that you resonate with my creativity tells me you are probably suspectable to this kind of attack also. I am learning to take it as a compliment. Feel flattered. He says you are a waste of time and yet he spends so much time on you. Lol

I'm actually doing the same. I'm so happy to get so much attention here, be it in this way.

To be clear, I'm not that person who'll submit to any sort of bullying anywhere. I would rather shine more and more to irritate the bullies ultimately proving them all wrong.

31 sats \ 3 replies \ @Coinsreporter 16h

Thanks. I get it and I don't wanna be there but he keeps on lying and lying without substance which took a toll on my resistaance. Now all clear. He can compliment me or throw shit at me in whatever ways he wants. This is going to be my last comment discussing about him or related to him. After this comment I'm not gonna click the closed eye.

He's sharing this article everywhere but it's a crosspost from SN I wrote on Apr 10. Here's the link #500264

And here's the link of the same post from publish0x.. https://www.publish0x.com/coinsreporter/what-are-you-going-to-stack-except-bitcoin-xpxyzvy

This article isn't about shitcoins at all. It was about a confusion of putting all eggs in one basket. I wanted to know why should we only invest in Bitcoin? That's all.

Now talking about being a shitcoiner in the past, I never denied it. In fact I even went on to say I didn't ever listen "shitcoin" as word before SN. Also there are many other terms that I came to know only on SN. Here's an excerpt from "my story"...

Don't be surprised if I tell you that before coming to SN I even didn't know about orange pill and rabbit hole. If I weren't on SN, It was near impossible for me to understand about the real worth of Bitcoin, let aside understanding the intricacies like lightning, UTXOs, Halving, and many more. #510163

This isn't all, I even thanked him in the same story for his good work.

For all the knowledge about Bitcoin that I accumulate here, I want to thank each and every of real Bitcoiners here on SN. A special mention to DarthCoin for his guides which are perfect, siggy47 for his extraordinary wisdom, @Undisciplined and TomK for their immense understanding about Economic matters, cryotosensei for his creative excellence, kr, k00b and ek for being the torch bearers enroute the truth, and everyone else who enlightened my journey to reality.

Now when I think where did I go wrong or what bad have I done to him? Only one thing comes to my mind is that I stood against his bullying newcomers to SN. I did it not because there was some personal benefit but I believe that SN should be home to as many people as possible now. There's scope for everyone here. There are so many territories that everyone will find his own space here. Why bully someone who might even not know what's shitcoin or why is Bitcoin the best?

But I promise I won't get offended for whatever shit he throws at me. It's his choice. I won't stop him and won't tell him that he's lying.

The best I'll do is..

And Ignore him so badly until he doubts his own existence. 🙏
