I don't agree with maybe half of what you say, but I'm glad you're here and speaking up. I don't see how real liberals like many of my friends can't embrace the ideas of Alex Gladstein or Anita Posch.

Welcome. I hope to see you engaged in many fiesty but civil arguments here, and I sure as hell hope you find your fellow progressives here someday.

I will.

The whole idea of these designer dogs bugged me at first, but I have met many of these guys. They are very active, intelligent, and have very stable temperaments, in my experience.

Nice find! I'm only on the first page of the introduction and I'm hooked.

This song is fantastic! How the hell did you find it?

BTW, these dogs are really popular in the US. They are Golden Retriever /Poodle hybrids.

I think they were one of the first so called "designer dogs".

Thanks very much for your insight and book recommendations. I will definitely read them. I am serious. I have some experience with small business valuations, and, as you point out, it will likely be a long, difficult search for the right situation. It's complicated by the fact that small business financials can be easily misrepresented.

Maybe the best SNL ever. Nice job getting Bailey. You both handled yourselves well. Good balance between respecting the fact that he showed up while confronting him on as many issues as possible considering the setting and time constraints. Kudos

Fantastic post, and congrats!

Very true.

I still love this. I watched the original TV show as a kid.

I'm hoping that stackers who have.been around for a while might decide, rather than sell for fiat, to spend some of their profits on the LN network. It's a private, no kyc way to enjoy their sats.

How about btc miners that will never break even in an expensive power area? That should count, right?

It is hard. I live near an enormous city, and there are very few businesses who accept it. I think PubKey in NYC only gets about 5% of sales paying in bitcoin. It has been a while since I visited, but the general consensus then was "save your SATs, spend fiat." I hope that philosophy has changed.

You're in good company. Our fearless leader, @k00b is thinking the same thing. Read through all the replies, and you can hear about my limited laundromat experience too.

Beautiful, but it would scare the hell out of me if I ran into one.

Its funny you mentioned a laundromat. I thought of that. My dad bought a laundromat in the early 1970s. It was mostly self service, but we did have an employee who did service laundry for people who worked. My job was to keep enough quarters painted with red enamel nail polish to identify the quarters used by our employee. It didn't go well. No one in our family has any mechanical repair abilities. The machines needed a lot of maintenance. He sold the place quickly. I understand the modern industrial machines are much more reliable.

In a perfect world.

Exactly. Gladstein is the perfect political bridge.
