of course. there's no point in developing a chronic condition if you just need to move some lymphatic fluid around. :)
used to have a cat very much like the grey one, except he was a russian blue straight through, what's yours mixed with? such a broad nose.. :D pretty boy.
interesting. as a photographer, I'd like to see the original.
wouldn't mind giving a crack at it.
oh so many. name a year and a mood... :D
I'll drop a song.
no, but find a competent massage therapist and have them release your psoas and illio-psoas muscles in the hips, as well as massage and break up any bursa and move it around, do a lymphatic drain under the knee caps, and just... drink more water and less wine.
:)
(saying this as someone who himself, went to massage therapy school.)
Dr Google sucks.
oh cool okay ! btw- consider buying a light meter, the sekonic L358... if im not mistaken Nikons meter a bit dark, and you can't hurt having a second opinion, just make sure you're using the meter correctly - point the thing up for a general reading of how much light is coming in, or at a thing and a bit under it to see how much light is reflecting off of it. it's a learning thing, and takes a bit, but ask them about incident light meters while you're there.
:)
as far as not spending too much money? its a camera store. they're built to take arms, legs, fingers, toes, firstborn children. but yeah try not to spend too much but just be happy you get out alive. :D
the Nikon isn't a point and shoot camera though, it's a single lens reflex camera.
:)
instead of being snippy, if you want to discuss it - that would be great.
Otherwise, I let snippy people to themselves. I ain't got the time for that.
Let's try this again in longer form, because you didn't stop to think about it the first time:
If you want to control all sides of a thing, you just imagine the other angles, and create them. So thus, you control them.
I didn't say cbdc's were like bitcoin. I said that it was a pilot study, for aspects of what would later become the CBDC. Consider it a behavioral study, both in micro and macro economics, and therein what people would do in various use cases of the financial instrument, and how they would or wouldn't respond to it, under differing stimuli and conditions, both real and created.
There are so many aspects of the bitcoin thing that cross correlate with an open and centralized banking payment system it's literally unreal, if one was to just stop and think. I don't have the time to write it up, but it's all there.
the thing only has value because people buy into it.
the experiment was how far will value go when people create an unbreakable chain of their transactions, digitally? turns out people liked it.
it was a pilot study for aspects of the CBDC.
open field trial.
open source is not immune to stupidity, just look at the linux foundation funding the c19 digital health certificate thing, for an example.
of course drag and drop doesn't work, so it only put one of them. well, lets try that again, or maybe not ;)
~+~ some photos taken sometime last year in the summer. ~+~

landscape has always been my favorite....
here, have some flowers. :)
yeah i dont either.
There's that, too. Back to my snake argument. Why bring snakes in? Nobody likes a bloodline naga.
if you have a bad experience: and someone else screwed you somehow, do you go hold on pause the boat, and then single them out and take them to court?
OR
do you just learn from what happened, and not do it again?
simple example: i was watching some guys play "the shell game" on the back of the city bus once, in SF. the guy goes hey wanna play? I'd been watching and saw how it worked, and was like sure, he said pull a bill out of your wallet, and hold onto it. i played a round. he cheated somehow and there were two pieces of paper. my visual perception is off the charts. so, then he snapped that bill out of my hands faster than i could even notice it happening. saying "uhp! sorry you lost." fair and square fair and square.
did i go up to the front of the bus and did I tell the bus driver to lock the bus up and stop it until cops could come ? i just lost 100$.
no, no i didnt. i just learned to never do that again.
apply the same thing in sale, but then add the complexity of:
Well we've got this big company thing here and we spent all this time putting together, so lets hire these lawyers to "defend us" -
copy cats come along, (see also: flattery is the sincerest form of,) and a new thing is born, and party A from first company feels as though they're being screwed by company B who is using a similar business model,
but instead of innovating and rising above, party A decides to sue company B for "infringement of prior art." but ..... ?! why not just ***Be Better.***
and leave it at that. The very notion that someone copied you meant your idea had merit, now just make it better and do that instead.

okay that felt like a lot of typing, going to go do something else now. But the above but scaled backwards and forwards is the general rationale around the why i dont like legal stuff, and wondering if you can come up with one or two, examples of a case where a laywer is actually useful, and justify it out of nothing but wanting the best for all the parties involved, and not screwing anyone over, regardless of their behavior. I'd be curious to see if you can. This isn't stump the chump, it's an ethical assertation untowards something that many people invest stock into, but I don't believe to be either ethical, or good for the whole of society, either.
Curious what you think. Take your time.
