Hey @k00b. FYI, this doesn’t seem right. Far too high.

Someone boosted in your territory that day. You probably figured that out by now.

I assumed that’s what it was. Thanks

Sitting back, chilling & enjoying the day in AZ. I know that the weather is about to turn bad, so I am taking long walks or runs as I can.

Bitcoin enables the power back in the hands of the Plebs and for people that’s a scary concept when in reality we just want to be left alone to live free.

reply

Sometimes I like you, sometimes I don't
Is it me or is it you?
We will never know

How to make this a haiku? The first verse has 9 syllables.

reply

Oh maybe like this:

I like you and not
Is it me or is it you?
We will never know

Eh, I haven't been very active online due to busyness with kids and life stuff, but it seems like there's some drama in the bitcoin community

I can’t believe people out there psyop themselves into thinking renting is better than owning.

The return on rent is always -100%

Maybe because it’s not just about ROI?

reply

What about pure ownership? When you don’t own something you are at the landlord’s mercy. Renters often can’t have pets because the landlord doesn’t want deal with pet issues in the property

reply

depends what you are renting / owning.
There's a lot of nuance in this.

You can have a car in leasing (renting) and you don't have to care about insurance, damages, taxes etc. And when you want a new one, you just stop the leasing.

Some cases is the same with a house. If your work is temporary in a place you don't want to live forever, why buying a house when you can rent it ?

Even if I want a land... sometimes is better have a long term contract (lifetime lease agreement with usufruct), for better conditions. And again you do not have to deal with all adjacent trouble of owning it.

Just think why all billionaires do not "own" anything in their direct name? All their properties are in trusts names, that they can handle....

reply

I agree but often I hear the perpetual paying someone else for something you can outright own and be responsible for seems to be laughed at in certain circles

reply

Lol!

PlebCat

reply

Yup. C'mon cat, the empty box is crampin my style!

reply

typical cats.
I've spent a lot of money on fancy toys and boxes for cats... they literally don't give a fuck.
They like more the "garbage toys" (literally papers and cardboards) than all other "commercial toys".
So I stopped wasting money on them.

reply

Yep, for our cats, we make toys of strings, straws and toilet paper centers and they just love them.
We have also stuffed used baby socks with soft stuff and catnip that we renew every so often, they won’t quit with those, either.

reply

Oh cool idea with socks!

reply

Yes, we use old baby socks that have seen their day.

We use old socks for adults, another way. We put long grain rice in until the sock is about 2/3 full and tie it with non-metallic string, like twine. Then we heat it in the microwave until it is hot but not hot enough to burn the skin. Then we use it as a hot pack on sore muscles and joints. it works wonders to relieve the pain. You can use it over and over again without refilling the rice. We’ve used some for about five years, so far.

reply

Yes, you should see the rabbiting action they do when they aren’t stroking the sock with their head or licking it! It is quite amusing to us, anyway. I imagine the cats are getting a bit high, though.

All of those fancy cushions and “cat nooks” don’t work half as well as cardboard boxes, paper bags and newspaper to sit in and on. Our cats are just not interested in any of the store bought toys unless they are stuffed to the gills with catnip.

reply

They follow Natural law of simplicity :) You can't just bribe them and expect them to recognize you as their owner and respect you or obey your orders they just don't give a shit. Man, cats are more sovereign than I thought 😮

Illegal immigrants can vote in federal or any state elections, you say? That’s new to me.

I'm not your guy for explaining that, being I'm not American and all, but yeah, I've stumbled across that idea before.

I am always amazed at how much people risk with such high leverage

yeah, it's the first self driving scooter, accidental discovery

I wonder who will be blamed for this by the insurance companies?
WHO is responsible for an accident made by a driverless car?
What happen when 2 driverless cars have an accident? Especially when the result is a dead man.

at least it should be well recorded with all the cameras, sensors..

Roll, you should choose a different nym this one kind of looks like mine at first sight.

reply

who is changing his nym show their instability, hesitance, pussyness

reply

He has a reason for it because some scammer created a very similar looking nym to his and got zapped. So, he's looking for a new nym to prevent this in the future.

That's not the solution
