I’m really starting to wonder if a large enough critical mass of people are going to “get it” soon enough to avert an extended period of darkness and austerity in our country.
Intellectual curiosity and critical thought just aren’t common enough. Pain will be our teacher.
I can’t pretend anymore that positive vibes will overcome the level of sheer idiocy I see every day. Somebody please convince me I’m wrong.
I’m just going to focus on loving my family and those I communicate with who share a freer vision of the world, and try to have a laugh or two along the way.
Your man cave must look like Imelda Marcos shoe closet…except for cool gear.
Just released this one since the Nostr audience isn’t too keen to some metal/rock

It’s good! Tunes to listen to in the Blackhawk enroute

I’ll give it a listen. Man I’ve been a metalhead since the early 80’s. Still dreaming of catching a big festival in the states one of these days. And Parkway Drive in particular. Jeff Ling’s guitar sound and unique approach to solos is amazing.

Hey nostr:npub14hq5lgadtyy9dhvtszq46dnl0s0xwdddqr7e32rdqqhma8a4xhsspxjjzu the single “Kingdom of Ruin” is a legit hit. I had that shit on repeat today. The chorus had the hair on my arms standing up. I think A&R people would be all over this.
I love low hash rate lottery mining if for no other reason than the fact that it:
1) gives you a better shot than the LottoMax every 10 minutes
2) forces you to game out what you’d actually do to reconfigure your cold storage setup to keep your block reward separate from any addresses touched by your relatively puny old main KYC stack. It’s good to have the steps already laid out and the hardware already in hand to support it.
Try stalking an animal when you have that to cross.
I guess the true test isn’t whether you get static now but whether you get static when it matters.
I’ll never forget when my old roommate told me in the mid 1990’s he was moving back to the Dominican. I came home one day the next week and he was sitting at the kitchen table with stacks of American hundreds, National Geographic magazines, brown wrapping paper and packing tape. Stuffing cash between magazine pages. He mailed almost all of his money to himself and picked it up when he got back to the D.R.
If you’re taking a laptop you can wipe sparrow off it and reinstall sparrow at your destination to access cold storage funds without having to use a signing device. Not recommended for your main stack but good for a month’s expenses abroad perhaps. And all you have to memorize is a shape and one keyword. I am in the process of testing this.

Shit dude sorry to hear it. Get well soon ❤️🩹
Yes precisely my point. It achieves nothing other than increasing justification for crackdowns on remaining freedoms. One thing that might get attention is start just launching massive numbers of FOIA requests at local and provincial representatives demanding copies of any and all written and electronic correspondence they’ve had with other party members that specifically address steps they’ve taken in representing constituents on specific issues, which would be referenced in each request. As a politician I can imagine being bombarded with FOIA requests that are demanding you account for what you are doing on a day to day basis to actually represent your constituents would be very unsettling. I think it would be a worthwhile exercise brainstorming a list of what these issues are that we currently feeling unrepresented on.
- elimination of capital gains taxes or at the very least the establishment of deminimus tax free, per transaction spending amounts on digital assets
- rolling back the rules on eligibility for EI that make it impossible to collect paid-in benefits due, in the event of dismissal or quitting from an abusive employment situation.
- giving workers the ability to opt out of CPP payroll deductions that we will never see
- elimination of the practice of deducting all CPP and EI benefits via at source deductions within the first 6 months of the year rather than in an evenly distributed manner, if at all
- elimination of maximal income tax collection through progressive tax bracketing
- the elimination of property taxes so people can actually own land
- the end of the privately held Bank of Canada and the return of currency issuance to the people
- deregulation of farming and elimination of farm estate taxes for farms passed to family members
- deregulation of meat, milk, eggs and produce production and sale
- getting federal law enforcement out of the province
I could go on and on.
Here’s a great video that needs to go viral about income taxation in Canada:
In recent years the importance of tools has really also affected my willingness to lend them. I have one friend who is ex military who is the only person I can safely lend something to without having to beg for it back weeks later or be disappointed by damage or poor condition of return when it comes back. Yes I will give away a tool. Or buy it for someone if I am flush with cash. But lending? No more. I have never lent a single piece of gear, whether camping or tool related or otherwise that didn’t ultimately test the relationship and call into question the individual’s respect for our relationship, except for with this one, solid dude.
Not my quote but it’s the best description of the asset I’ve ever heard.
No wonder it’s hard to go from active service into fiat employment.
