Over the course of my travels I've experienced a handful of aborted plane landings due to weather, which were slightly scary.

But now I can attest that aborted takeoffs are ten times scarier!

My niece was on America's Got Talent.

Yea, it's wild that the old timber wasn't valued by anyone and just chucked. I've got a few ideas of some things I might do with it.

Remember this use to get you a meal.

I'm a simple man and derive happiness from simple things. My wife might add a -ton to that description but back to the story.

Last year after a heavy rain, I was clearing up debris from the stream next to my house. I found a plank of wood and decided to keep it. It was fairly non-descript but a really hard wood and if I hit it against the concrete it almost rings like a metal bar. Earlier this year, also after a heavy rain flood, again clearing the stream, I found another plank. Two days ago another. They measure 48" x 3 3/4 x 1 1/2 and as can be seen are tongue and grooved. Reckon they've got some fair age to them but what really gets me is how, after being out in the tropical elements for so long, they still are so strong and ,as you can see in the photo, pretty dam straight. I'm guessing flooring that was chucked from a demolished old house and maybe(?) made of Teak. I'll be heading up stream to look for more soon. 🫡

Maybe his son will realize it's not worth it, or just too inconsiderate of others.

My father was very disrespectful to people; (lying, stealing, etc.) I learned from him. What I learned is that I don't want to be a shitbag like he was. I may be blunt with people, which most don't seem to enjoy, but I can't fathom pulling the lame stunts that he did. Fuck those types of people.

Did you do anything to make them feel rightfully uncomfortable? Assholes only exist when we allow them to be assholes.

They did radicalized me. And woke me up.. the hard way.

Counterpoint: They are clueless.

If tomorrow was your last day, how would you want to spend it?

Most people lose their Bitcoin not through a compromised hardware device but through being too clever.

They either hand their key over, lose it or transfer their sats to someone (eg to generate a yield).

Your seed words are the most easily compromised part of the equation. Assuming you don't hand them over, it requires someone to physically locate them (a targeted attack).

You are your greatest threat to your Bitcoin.

Maintaining exclusive access to a secret is not something that we humans are skilled at.

Hardware devices are not the threat that you think they are.
