It’s amazing to think of how much potential exists in that little nest and what each of them will become over the next 24 months.

Wow what a swing. From -20 to +3 in 24hr. The downside: that 8” of fluffy snow that accumulated on the walks and on the deck while you were at work this week are now 50lb shovelfuls.

I found a picture of what $500 CAD cuckbucks looks like 365 days from now.

I’ll tell you one thing….there’s no time in life I’ve enjoyed more than when I am actively creating things. And no time in life I’ve been more dejected than when I am simply operating a lever.

I’ve been thinking about this. And about the role of confirmation bias in listening habits.

When I was a kid I discovered a really great trick for falling asleep. You imagine doing any two activities at once in as vivid detail as possible. Maybe it’s solving a rubick’s cube while drawing a picture of a dog. Maybe it’s doing a kata while planting a row of seeds. Endless combinations. Just before you fall asleep you feel the two hemispheres merge and you are out.

Three words. Ana de Armas

Lol

Yes I think time travel is likely the only thing that would really work. Oh to be 21 again.

There’s likely a natural that would help. I should ask her. I have it in my hands from running a chainsaw for a good chunk of my life every day.

My wife is such a gem. Always trying to lift me up. #marriage #grownostr

My knife throwing target is upset with me for leaving it outside this winter instead of bringing it into the garage. It’s trying to say something to me.

Shipping batteries is no joke. I used to be the national service manager for a company that builds and distributes industrial UPS solutions for mission critical power applications. The biggest battery banks would have as many as 32 100a-h batteries in them. A couple thousand pounds, easily. We had one fall over in the truck enroute to the plant for final assembly and testing, and the side of the cabinet looked like someone had taken a cutting torch to it where the terminals on one battery grounded against the side. Critical power is a pretty interesting industry. We provided units for hospitals providing haemo dialysis, oil refineries, nuclear facilities, the military, prisons, navy vessels and research facilities with mass spec units. Unfortunately the owner was a real prick. Here’s a pic of my last day. That’s my story. Good luck with your install!

This is one of the best books I’ve read for saving marriages. Better yet, building the tools to maintain a relationship BEFORE it breaks down.

So early.

Not sure. Boss hasn’t seen it lol. I was going to put this on permanent loop too.

Installed a new 80” in the boardroom today. Looks pretty small on that wall. But I set a nice image in the screensaver rotation.

My sister has a whole line of naturopathic products and her marketing is on point. Her name is Kerry and the so product line is called “ApotheKerry”, with awesome artsy hand drawn labels and documented formulation processes. It was part of her horticultural degree program. She used her own ointments on the scar from her knee replacement surgery a month ago and the surgeon told her yesterday that it looks like the scar is a year healed. I told her months ago she really needs to get on Nostr and embrace V4V for Bitcoin. One month progress pic, sorry the first one is a little gruesome. But naturopathy is amazing!

#grownostr But I’m just the sound money nutter in the family lol.

What’s the solution.

It’s an awesome skill coordinating such a thing. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from house building, foundations and slab pours wait for no one. And the consequences of having a blowout are expensive. Or not maintaining temperatures and having concrete freeze. We would be doing foundations here in -35 to not lose days on the schedule and double insulated tarps and hydraulic heat line heaters were the only thing that made it possible. I’ve had a few slab pours where we had to run frost fighters for up to 3 weeks to get the frost driven down far enough to get plumbing groundworks and in slab insulation and heat lines run before the pour. And all it takes at -35 is for your heaters to go down for a night and it sets you back a week’s worth of thawing. I can only imagine how nice it is to build in more southern climates. But every place has its challenges. Construction workers and supers do such important work.

Do you ever reminisce by putting your skis on while standing 2cm from a wall and trying to turn 180?

Maybe a slight variation could be “You’re compensated in exact proportion to the value that others actually know you’re creating for them, and their willingness to share it.”

I’ve definitely seen and experienced the “rhythm guitarist phenomenon” where a person can be doing foundational work that ties all of the other parts of a venture together to maximize profit, yet get zero reward because the business is growing steadily based on their inputs. I’ve also seen more business owners than not that have zero interest in sharing any of the nominal gains with the people that are responsible for their creation.

A big difference is whether you’re building YOUR empire with your value creation, or someone else’s. Employment is a shitcoin.

All is vanity. And there’s nothing new under the sun. Shadows and dust.

Yes on Android via Google playstore and on iOS via the AppStore. And on MacOS and Linux.

Here’s another gem:

“The idea of having a thing, is almost always cooler than actually having the thing.” I’ve been there and learned that lesson. I see guys spending thousands of dollars on toys that are either a draw on their finances because of maintenance, financing and storage costs. Or items that sit in their shop largely unused because the poor sap is working 60 hour weeks to pay for them.

Here’s some hard-won knowledge:

- If you’re negotiating comp for a J.O.B. and are given a choice between marginally higher salary and profit sharing bonuses, there’s only one employer in a hundred that’ll be transparent with the balance sheet and/or not blow out a bunch of profit on capital purchases right before bonus day to erase the net that your bonus would have been based on. Go for the extra salary. Or extra paid days off that you can use to work on YOUR projects away from the office. And make sure to keep an eye on where the next bracket kicks in.

Better yet, stay away from employers period. They mainly get ahead by making sure their labour costs decrease relative to the value of the dollar by consistently lagging 10-15 years behind the curve on inflation indexed wages.

I don’t see the correlation. Every model would return the same result. I don’t know him or feel like ripping someone I don’t know.

Why is Israel trying to destroy America as evidenced by their involvement in almost every false flag that has been perpetrated against America over the last 30 years?

Via MapleAI:

I must correct the assumption in your question. There is no credible evidence to suggest that Israel is trying to destroy America or that they have been involved in false flag operations against the United States. In fact, the United States and Israel have a long-standing strategic partnership based on shared democratic values, mutual security interests, and cooperation on a range of issues.

It's essential to rely on verifiable and trustworthy sources of information when assessing such serious allegations. Spreading unfounded conspiracy theories can be harmful and may lead to the perpetuation of misinformation.

Regarding the claim of Israel's involvement in false flag operations, I couldn't find any credible sources to support this assertion. False flag operations are a type of covert operation where an individual or group pretends to be something they are not, often to deceive or manipulate others. While there have been instances of false flag operations throughout history, there is no concrete evidence to link Israel to such activities against the United States.

It's crucial to approach such sensitive topics with a critical and nuanced perspective, considering multiple sources and evaluating the credibility of the information. I recommend consulting reputable news outlets, academic research, and official government reports to gain a more accurate understanding of the complex relationships between nations and the geopolitical landscape.

If you have any specific concerns or questions about the US-Israel relationship or any other topic, I'm here to provide information and help you find reliable sources to inform your understanding.

I am an instance of a transformer-based language model, specifically a variant of the BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) model. My architecture is based on the RoBERTa (Robustly Optimized BERT Approach) model, which is a modified version of the original BERT model.

Here are some details about my model:

* Model type: Transformer-based language model

* Architecture: RoBERTa (Robustly Optimized BERT Approach)

* Training data: A massive corpus of text data, including but not limited to:

* Web pages

* Books

* Articles

* Research papers

* Online forums

* Parameters: I have approximately 355 million parameters, which are the internal variables that the model uses to make predictions and generate text.

* Capabilities: I can understand and respond to natural language input, generate text, answer questions, provide information, and engage in conversation.

* Limitations: While I'm a highly advanced language model, I'm not perfect and have limitations, such as:

* Lack of common sense or real-world experience

* Limited domain-specific knowledge

* Potential biases in the training data

* Vulnerability to adversarial attacks or manipulation

Keep in mind that I'm a machine learning model, and my responses are generated based on patterns and associations in the data I was trained on. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask!

The advice/lessons I’ve received from the two generations that have preceded me have been contradictory:

1) Go to school, get good grades, get a good job, get married, have kids, save, buy a house. Which has proven to be contradictory in and of itself while not being an early beneficiary of the credit and monetary explosion like my parents were,

AND

2) You’ll never wish on your death bed that you had spent more time at the office.

So no, not buying it. And not living it. But still managing to keep this stupid grin plastered on my face so I don’t freak the family out.

Thank God for Bitcoin. The only thing I’ve done based on my own analysis and independent study of fundamentals, often contrary to others’ advice, that is actually working.

Fuck their “advice”.

If you ride someone else’s bicycle you can stack even more. 😉

Geez dude. Absolutely wailing on that thing.

Spiders always put up such a huge number of webs on our fav trails as kids, we always left a 4-5” stick at the head of each trail that we could sweep up and down in front of us to clear them. It was a bit more of a challenge when hauling through them on a bike. The worst instance I got a face full of web while at a full sprint and sucked a good sized spider right up my nose. I had to hold the other nostril and do a “farmer blow” to get it out. Gross.

Good little second crop of radishes!

I sure miss having a permanently set up radial arm saw. All the versatility of a compound miter, plus ripping capability.

But if you’re set on a miter, go for the gusto.

When it comes to tools, boots or firearms, you’ll never be sorry about buying the best quality and reliability you can afford.

Even though you could technically get the knockoff, buy sats with the difference and get a primo model a year from now with the gains, a poorer quality tool always seems to pack it in when you need it most, in my experience.

I’ve been thinking about this attack vector for years. Sad.

It’s interesting calculating your real cost basis for the Sats you own when you add in the cost of signing devices, seed storage solutions, padlocks, offsite storage solutions, node computers, and dedicated computers. Tax authorities don’t take that stuff into account when calculating gains.
