figuring it all out I appreciate your humor, insight, and your post whether or not I agree

how does "torque" fit into this. it sounds kinda like a derivative... altho my calculus is rusty

you guys made me smile early in the morning.

i like Mike's statement "what bitcoin really does is teaches you how the world works: it teaches you economics, it teaches you psychology...there are an infinite number of rabbit holes to go down"

😅 funny. There is no sell-by-date on love and Humor goes a long ways.

I met an American man in El Salvador who moved down when he was 50. He used to go every day to a cyber cafe to talk to family back home in Idaho.

He ended up marrying the owner of the cyber cafe :-). And their daughter just entered community college.

Apparently a lot of the women in this part of the world are out of their first relationship and are looking for a stable man. The first love maybe was too unstable due to finance and war and a touch of machismo in the men.

It could work for you...

It can be yours Beave, just forgo that 100k risk free return per year

" are you married"...

"No"

"Ok well you have to rent two rooms"

My way of upselling from 50$ to 60$.

for sale:

a hotel with a view off a volcano, a garden with 6 rooms in a mountain town that is not yet frequented with tourists. it's an hour from the nearest big city of 200,000 inhabitants.

nightly rate is $30 per room, 50$ for 2 people, including breakfast.

staff is 2 rotating front desk/housekeepers + 1 night watchman.

Approximate expense:

staff: 350 per person per month (1200/month)

asking price: $390,000

bitcoin return per year on 390,000: 29% per year = $113,000

if all 6 rooms were always full at $50 a night, it would return 113,000 before operating costs of $14,000.

currently there is maybe 5 guests a week. or 7500 a year.

que locura!

some mechanics.

since i'm on coracle and can never "view thread" i'm replying to notes out-of-context-of-threads.

there are "mechanics" who immediately cast doubt on the last mechanic that worked on the car. "oh, he took you for a ride". I interpret this as he is telling me his own playbook.

whenever i go to a new mechanic, i immediately test them. "i think the engine is leaking coolant because of the 4-wheel drive system".

if they agree with me and start talking prices, i move along.

the acceptable response is that they need to tell me, "you know nothing about cars", and "leave it to the professionals".

unless it's my sister-in-law and she gets free mechanic inspections (i pay 600$).

thought provoking. i believe i spend most of my time worrying about this as well. even when i feel liberated for the most part to speak my mind, i find i still don't want to offend people with what i think might be true for fear of losing popularity.

my excuse is that since i'm not humorous. and i have a vague feeling that it doesn't help to be truthful if someone can't have some humor. otherwise i just look like a crazy grouch.

i think you're right. i have to stop looking at the different stocks and just forget about it. getting FOMO and worrying about not being in the right one.

it's so much better to just watch the sunrise and listen to the birds.

Aren't the retirement account withdrawals pre 59 years old taxes at 10% penalty plus income tax. I haven't done the math, but I don't think it's worth the income tax plus 10%. Unless I was in Europe, then in would want to get moly money out regardless

non IRS 10% taxed accretive shitcoins.

pendant l'apresm ou pendant la nuit?

but what about this Cursor AI IDE ...

i know it's cheating to code by just asking questions in an IDE, but it's quite impressive that it spits out stuff that works. it might be garbage, but then i have to learn new stuff to check it.

AI feels kinda like discovery of magnets and thinking they are "waking up the souls of materials" (100 years of solitude). but there's definitely something there if I went from just thinking about trying to code to actually coding something.

Yes... Wait what's this mean? 🤔

I don't understand the numbering system. Very subjective IMO. Someone who likes me and is smart is at least a 8/10 but someone who doesn't like me, even if they are good-looking I would rank them 1/10 in terms of wanting to spend any time with them.
