Did you know that our brains shrink when we age? Depending on which article you believe some say the average human brain shrinks as much as 20% by 80 years old. Many of my older relatives complain about cognitive decline as a normal part of aging.

I find it comforting to think I could build a LLM and refer back to myself for advice.

She looks pretty young. The first step in determining your dog’s maturity and trust level is to see if they will follow a treat. Hold a treat in your hand, if the dog focuses intently on the treat and will follow you for several steps it is ready for leash training. If she is all over the place and doesn’t focus then just give her love, attention and play until she’s ready. You don’t need to rush things. That will just cause more anxiety and her and disappointment in you.

What are you putting in the water for nutrients?

I read your notes. I agree with you on a lot of things. Under the current common definition of leftist. I consider the majority of Americans leftists. Not like a 51% majority, like a 99% majority.

What do you mean by “leftist?” Part of the psyop is to confuse people is by changing or blurring the definition of words. On a classical political scale a libertarian is an extreme leftist with a anarchist being as far left as one can get, politically speaking.

Another part of the psyop is to get people to believe that personal morals are ethics fall along party lines. There are leftists that understand Austrian economics, live by the Ten Commandments and homeschool their kids. Just as there are conservatives that believe in Keynesian economics and want bigger government. Both people seem to defy the tenets of their political party.

Don’t define people, especially yourself, by any “ist” or “isum” like “leftist” or “communism” it’s part of the game the unproductive class wants you to play. It’s a distraction to keep you from seeing what’s really going on around you.

It’s going to happen with beef as well. In speaking with ranchers I know and senior members of the Beef Initiative I’ve learned that Tyson will be making major moves over the next year to corner the beef processing market. Did you know that most beef we Americans eat is imported and not subject to strict regulations of the United States? Most of the beef we raise is sold in high end restaurants around the world.

Doesn’t matter if we talk about beef, chicken, pork or any other food. The business plan is to force out small business through regulatory capture in order increase corporate market share.

Please buy your meat from a local producer. It’s healthier for you and the economy.

I’m afraid it’s more nefarious than what you suspect. I don’t disagree with you. But there’s more. It’s part of a goal. To outsource our food as much ass possible.

So this just happened: I’m ordering coffee at a drive-through because I’m traveling for work. There is a slow speed chase going down the road next to me. Cop gets on the loudspeaker and tells the car to stop. The car stops in the middle of the road. The cop says “no pull into the parking lot” driver follows orders and pulls into the parking lot not 30 feet in front of me. Woman in the car sticks her hands out the window. Officers approach, weapons drawn. Not just side arms. What would you do in this situation?

Instead of pulling forward and putting myself only a few feet away from the action, I backed down the drive-through and got to the far side of the building. I didn’t pull up my phone right away. I didn’t ignore the situation and drive right by. I made a quick tactical assessment and put myself in a safe position as quickly as possible.

This picture is from a parking lot across the street approximately 30 minutes after everything happened and the cops put their guns away.

By the way five cop, cars, a helicopter and weapons drawn for what appeared to be a middle-age women of small stature, and a little fluffy dog? I love seeing my tax dollars well spent.

Now think about this: of the 350M citizens only 165M make up the labor force. This is working age, non-disabled people. The labor force participation rate is “reported” to be 62%. Roughly 102M people are working to support the other 248M. This also translates into about 4.6% of the workforce directly working for the government.

I don’t understand why the majority of people got the shot in the first place. Even IF everything the government and big pharma told us was true (it wasn’t, none of it was.) They were literally signing up to be lab rats for long term testing.

I don’t speak the language of finance daily, but I think I understand. I’m going to study your answers and teach myself to understand. Thanks for your time.

Yes, but responding to DM’s from potential clients is your job! Swan Bitcoin customer service blows. I’ll wouldn’t trust them based on my experience.

I’m sorry, you are correct. I did not know who this person was when I made my comment. I can see how an average person could make an incorrect statement like that. After all, the shot increases the likelihood of infection, ergo more infected people would have cardiac issues. After reading her “impressive resume” I see your point. Thanks for making me dive deeper.

Can you please explain this to me like I’m 5? I understand that the $VIX is a measure of volatility but I’m not quite sure how to interpret this chart or what the effect a “range expansion” has.

Maybe she’s right or even just confused. Remember, people that got the shot do have a greater chance of getting infected with and spreading Covid. I can see how that data could overlap and confuse her.

Great! It’s culling the non-critical thinkers. People that are dying from the shot are just getting what they deserve IMO.

If you torture data long enough it will confess to anything. Don’t try and infer anything from this chart. It’s just a list of numbers. How many people counted in this data had a pre-existing condition? A comorbidity? Lack of access to adequate medical care?

While surfing the Nostr Universe this evening I came across a post that reminded me of something that happened in my life during the 2008 real estate bubble. This information may help you make decisions during the upcoming recession. Long story, but in the end, banks for fuck you.

I was a six figure income earning Realtor for several years leading up to the 2008 bubble. Between August, 4 2008, when Wall St. decided to stop buying subprime mortgages and a year later I made less than $15,000.

At this point I had to prioritize my bills. Food, electricity and water because kids like to eat. Car before house payment because I need to drive to work and I can always rent. Credit cards last.

Then it happened, I was about three months behind on my credit cards, but still had a few months of reserves to pay my living expenses. The credit card companies contacted my bank and emptied my account! Without notice! Apparently credit card distributors have agreements with banks where they can take all of your money!

I thought I had it all. When I drove my Porsche to my yacht from my big house, I thought I was on top of the game even though I was $1 million in debt.

We were destitute overnight. We ended up moving from a 3500 square-foot house and having everything one would think they always wanted to living in a single wide trailer on a hippie commune 90 minutes outside of town. There were days where we could only afford to eat once or twice a day. There were several days where if I didn’t garden, hunt and fish, we would’ve gone without food.

Welfare and food stamps are based on your previous years income and because I had made so much money the previous year we were ineligible. I was self-employed, so I was ineligible for unemployment. Imagine telling a two-year-old and a four-year-old. “Let’s skip lunch because we have work to do.” it was an excuse to distract them from their hunger.

Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, my young children had to share a bed, but they never complained about being cold when the 40 year old heater went out because they had plenty of blankets and sleeping bags.

My oldest son, now 20 years old remembers his fourth birthday. We were working outside when I heard a quail call in the distance. I taught him what a quail call sounds like and we ended up getting nine in a couple hours. We ate like royalty that evening. Even from such a young age, and so many years later, he still remembers that day.

I could go on and on about my tribulations. But that’s not the point. My point is that big business or banks will fuck you and they don’t care about you or your kids. Be careful because there’s a lot of fine print that will get your bank account sucked dry overnight.

My other point is that kids are resilient. Make them work, it’s healthy for them. I’ve been hunting buddies with my son for 16 years since that day. They don’t complain when I ask them to put the chickens away at 9:30 PM on a long summer night. It’s just part of life and leading a sustainable lifestyle.

I had heard about planting daikon radishes before. I never thought to mix them in. That will make life so easy. Also, thanks for the link. That’s a great price.

This is great advice! It’s my first year gardening in this spot but I’ve been working on the soil for three years. There used to be a large brush pile that I burned in place the first year. The second year I covered the area with black plastic and let the summer sun bake all the weeds to death. Last year I borrowed a wood chipper and covered the entire area with chips from decaying branches I picked up from the nearby woods.

My soil is thick Tennessee red clay. I couldn’t till if I wanted to. Do you think biochar will help loosen up the soil?
