Let the hitchhike adventure to #bh2024 begin.

How far will I get today?

After nearly a year of not checking any of my website analytics, I might take a moment to actually reinstall some of them since they broke down a while ago.

What I learned was, I’m not locked in with my analytics. My analytics are locked in with me. I’m not even sure when they stopped functioning, since I didn’t care.

I literally don’t know how many people came to my website in the past six months other than “a lot”. I do know the number of paying members and my overall research revenue, but not the number of visitors to public pages as I used to.

So now that I don’t give a shit about my analytics anymore, I figure I might as well take the time to reinstall them and see what they are.

Feels like a line from Fight Club. Only once we lose something do we begin to care for it. In my randomness I randomly decided that it would be nice to know the number of readers per post again, after having spent a long time of not caring or measuring by accident and apathy.

Thank you! 🫂 So difficult and it was my mother of all people...sigh. It’s been one of my biggest struggles of the last few years, being unable to help them see the real problems/solutions. I guess we just keep going, lead by example and hope curiosity sparks before the pain comes!? 🙏✨

Oh man, I just had a horrible conversation with a family member about what they think is a solution to our ever increasing problems…it was pretty dark. 😔Thankfully I managed to end the conversation on a high and found my way here, to the people that do see so much greatness in the world! Grateful to see all the positive strength here from the Nostriches. There is light in the darkness and it shines so bright!! Thank You!! 🙏🧡✨💜

Or just coinjoin.

Also, fuck the state.

And if you live in the US, read Dave Champion, and don’t file a 1040

Happy to indulge. No, it wouldn't be possible to prove it was money changing hands (and in this example, it wasn't!).

Let's just put politics & ethics aside for the moment and talk about practical matters.

There's a question of who has the burdon of proof. Everyone can see that it appears the owner of address A bought something (possibly fiat currency) with their coin. If the taxing authorities know who owns address A, they could send the owner a tax invoice, or a letter accusing they of failing to report a transaction and pay tax on it (e.g. capital gains). They could even calculate the tax owed based on the price when it arrived in the wallet vs when it left.

As a response, the owner could just say that's incorrect, they just moved it from one of their accounts to another. Whether this explanation is accepted or not is up to the taxing authority. If the tax enforcers were savvy, they could say "sign this message proving you control address B". If they refuse, then perhaps the courts would sort it out.

If the tax man doesn't know the payer, nor the payee, then it's a dead end. If they know the recipient, then they could come after them for not reporting income and it pretty much plays out the same as above.

Im tracking on this thought experiment as ive logically thought this out before, but if you would indulge me; how does one roll dice to get an address.

Ive heard of this, but eli10 for a homie.

**Strong Mom's Incredible Recovery! **

Five months ago my mom suffered a series of strokes that resulted in paralysis on her right side, wheelchair bound and non-verbal.This is in addition to being previously diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression and she was also about 60lbs overweight. To address all these pre-existing conditions she was actively prescribed 23 prescriptions.

Today, my mom is: Still non-verbal, but I can understand exactly what she wants to communicate to me when she has something to say.She is still weak on her right side, but she can walk around the house without aid. Dress herself in the mornings...mostly. She does need some help putting on her shoes, panties and bra. But if hell broke loose and we had to boogie in a hurry, she'd be able to make it to the car by herself while I packed up for a mad max like departure/adventure. :-) Albeit without a bra, panties and barefoot. But that's OK.She is now only 15lbs overweight and still dropping.Her cholesterol levels continue to improve.Her BP is within normal levels.Her A1C (diabetes measurement) has improved BIGLY and continues to do so every month.She is now on only 3 prescriptions. My sisters and I might be adding one more to this in September so possibly 4 prescriptions starting next month, down from 23.How did we do it?Diet: My mom now only eats what I eat (and I don't eat fiat food).I stopped administering all the prescriptions they had her taking prior to the stroke except for the ones they were administering to her in the hospital for the 2 weeks that she was in ER and ICU for the strokes.For physical therapy she: opens the mail in the mornings, not using her mouth (yes, disgusting) but using both right and left hands. She has to walk when in the house..I used to carry her from room to room bc it was faster, but she is retired and I don't have a boss, so what's the rush?! Even if it takes 10 minutes to get from bedroom to the living room. We also slow dance for 5 minutes every evening after dinner. Last night we danced to some ray charles. And lastly but MOST important, my sister(s) call her every night before bed and asks her about her day.For her depression, we give her "stuff" that needs to get done throughout the day that she can do while seated at the couch. I.e. fold and sort laundry, open and sort the mail, I take her (and the dogstr) with me everywhere I go. Make sure she goes outside and gets some sun every day (not hard to get where we are presently). All that to say, considering we were making final arrangements back in March and now we are where we are with her progress, I'm a pretty grateful dude.

Fix the food and you fix two things:America's obesity epidemicAmerica's out of control rising health care cost problem?

****Disclaimer****

Not health, medical, financial or any other advice for anyone. I just wanted to brag somewhere about how well my mom is doing and what is working for her with this community I've come to depend on over the last year and change for some grownup conversations with rational like minded folks from all walks of life.

I know, it's a long one. thanks for reading to the end.💜 🫂 ✌️
