More to point I was born without gills or webbing.

Not me. I like land.

Is that like the time some transplant from Pennsylvania was running her mouth about how she couldn’t believe we were all against paying higher slightly property taxes and a slightly higher county sales tax to improve the schools because they aren’t adequate and we didn’t know what high taxes were. Even with the increase they wouldn’t be anywhere near what she was paying in Pennsylvania.

Lady we’ve built a dozen schools in this district the past 25 years over people moving in. We didn’t need all that before you moved here. Want to know why there isn’t enough infrastructure and the current tax rates don’t allow for improvement? Look in the mirror. Nobody asked you to move here.

Then we’re the bad guys for asking if she needed help moving back to Pennsylvania since she apparently doesn’t like it here.

They need to figure it out. They’ve basically turned this half of the county into urban sprawl for the state capital across the river and in the next county over the past 40 years.

I’ll never get another vaccine again. How can I trust them about all the other ones? I can’t. They ruined that. I hope it was worth it.

Yep. Looking at moving a bit further out myself. I’ve never lived inside a city or a town but that urban sprawl catching up to me.

Have fun. It’s almost time for me to get ready to pick up my aunt for father’s day and my sister’s birthday. I guess we’ll be outside by my sister’s garden even if it will be 100 degrees out. Last year she made ice cream and blackberry cobbler with blackberries from my aunt’s property. Speaking of enjoying things without worrying about future consequences.

All this ham talk done got Tom T. Hall stuck in my head.

I think it’s an and. You need to be aware of both factors and make a good decision that no one else can make for you. I bought some seasoning for meat with bitcoin the other year and I enjoyed it immensely. It won’t be a regular thing I usually mix my own but it was fun to try something else and I hadn’t bought anything with crypto before. I look at it like silver, common caliber ammunition, knives and firearms. I can and have used all of those items in the place of money while making an exchange, while obeying all applicable law, but I usually just use USD.

Decided to add another gadget to my collection. Bought if out of the estate sale of a friend of a friend. Should ship Monday. Hopefully I’ll be using it this time next week.

Just zapping the profile. Which never had to go through zapplepay.

Sounds to me like the good Colonel needs to be involuntarily recalled to active duty and attached to one of the embassies that would be in harms way as a legal officer.

I don’t know much about the electronic security stuff. It’s been a few years, 15 of them, but I was trained in breaching buildings. I figure electronic security is like physical security. There isn’t actually a system with no vulnerabilities that will keep everyone out if they are willing to sink the needed time and resources into getting in. It’s about not being the low hanging fruit and it taking long enough that you can realize what is going on and respond as appropriate.

Got to clock in an hour early for a meeting that’s definitely not a waste of time for everyone involved. At least its Friday on Thursday and once I clock out tonight I’m off until Monday night. Well. Unless they call me wanting to know if I can come in this weekend for some overtime.

Sounds like it’s a problem with the system then. For the time being I’m just zapping the profile of people whose posts I normally like.

I think I just identified my mother’s Christmas present.

I set it up the other year but I’m not so good with this stuff. Sadly my go to plan of asking my sister isn’t feasible at this time.

Noticed the other day that my zapplepay isn’t zapping when I like posts anymore. Tried resetting it up. No dice. Tried zapping individual users on nostr. That worked no problem. Not sure what the problem is.

What did they think was going to happen? That the bull wouldn’t want his freedom to?

I think those limits don’t apply in a system where the banks just throw loans at people because they can just create the money that they loan out.
