never. coffee has 0 effect

interesting to think about this from standpoint of regaining control of a sold covered call when the price dips. i can see how it theoretically works.

it's just hard to see where and when it jumps next.

does that mean vendors no longer accept it, or is it taxed when spent?

It really seems that way. I'm not a car person at all, but when I started car shopping, I was surprised how quickly I become interested in what engine, what clearance, what gas mileage.

It's almost like we fall into patterns of self reinforcing behavior/interests.

Interesting, quite likely. 1 son and 2 daughters

Oldest son got the trainset and erector set for Christmas, middle daughter did her own thing, youngest daughter wanted a trainset and the engineering toys her oldest brother got.

Maybe the youngest felt like an accident, burden and tried to get closer to her dad.

So yeah, if the third child hadn't been a burden and the family bigger, it maybe would have worked itself out.

Also, joining military is such a lucrative occupation, especially if one likes astronaut/computer science stuff and wants to have money.

I don't know what predominantly female occupation is similar to themilitary that pays for school and career after like this for women.

Also truck driving.

Family member who felt ignored by her engineer dad wanted to be an engineer as well. As youngest, She remembers playing with the compass and slide rule and drawing tools, and wanting to do exactly what her father did when she grew up.

So I wonder if it's failed parent child bonding. Like she was trying to please her dad by picking up his interests. She also loves fishing which he did too. Chip off the old block.

Not sure where the genetic interests run into the interests learned while seeking-to-please behavior.

I thought you meant that there is a current red haired nemesis. I'm taking a hard look at my red haired cousins...

Who is this redhead

what is "promised land". i thought this is a metaphor for hearts and souls or soemthing?

I wouldn't know how that feels

They like a challenge

Yes, it's difficult to keep regimented, as with so many things in life. Sex, food, social media

I put 7$ for every drink into a cashapp savings account so I have some visual representation in a thing that's important to me.

I use roman numerals on a notepad for how many sets of 5 pushups I do each time I check Nostr (yikes behind on this one).

If I can't change my behavior, at least I track it. Data has a way of changing me in the long run.

I scaled back on the beer/wine for 3 things

1. hearing Andrew Huberman describe how the whole process of digesting alcohol works -- worth a listen if you consume alcohol

2. the news that finally came out that 1 glass of wine/ day was NOT healthy "tannins" as they said for so long--turns out there is a wine lobby!

3. the realization that my nightly heartburn was triggered from 1 serving of beer or wine at any point in the previous day.

i try to keep it to 2x per month as Huberman says anything more than this causes changes to the body.

that being said, my 98 year old great aunt still has a glass of wine before bed and she's still playing tennis. If i do that more than a couple times a week, i will wake up at 2am with a buzz in my head and heartburn.

so clearly not everyone is built the same. maybe the food nowadays + alcohol is the problem.

one other question i have is if Apple Pay/Google Pay/Samsung Pay use a lightning node on each of their sides similar to CashApp, wouldn't that solve 99% of the problems?

if this is true, i assume the only reason they haven't is because Bitcoin is open source and they can't charge the fees. But once the attack from small operators is big enough, then they will be forced to join ecosystem.

similar to how free Wifi came to airplanes.

but i don't know if my understanding is correct

hehe.

the first time I used lightning on Cashapp was when I realized Bitcoin was the winner.

and every platform (like coinbase) that didn't have it already was trying to fool their customers into every other scam.

i don't know what the challenges with it are, but it seems to work about as efficiently as most online credit card purchases nowadays

i once created an OKCupid profile.

the site offered tendering out my photos to find the best profile pic if I reviewed 20 other people's profile pics.

the preferred pic by 20 people was me staring at the ocean from 100 feet behind me...
