GM Miss Vixen. Taking all the cold and snow here, hoping you get some warmth and flowers your way.

It was! leftover pressure cooked Cuban pork shoulder under those eggs. Glad it was after two hours of snow shoveling.

Sundays are a good time to curl up with a book by a #fire. #cozy #hygge

After a few hours of shoveling, having a pretty slammin' #brunch my wife made me. #Foodstr

Slain in battle. It's off to #Valhalla for this one.

Don't worry the cavalry has arrived... To shovel solo in peace in this neighborhood is tough because everyone wants to help with heavy machinery and it'd be rude to say no.

#GM. Think I might skip kettlebell swings today.

Calling yourself a libertarian or an anarchocapitalist while supporting a fascist ethnostate is definitely a novel move.

On the domestic economic front I don't have much quarrel with him. But he clearly doesn't actually subscribe to the overall political philosophies he claims to. Or perhaps he just lets them pile up on the coffee table and doesn't read them.

Bitcoin is for the fiat politicians in the same way that the sun is for snow men.

We can pretend that they're the corrupt ones, closer to the printers, and that we're the victims, but at the end of the day systemic corruption corrupts everything. Got a mortgage, car loan, or credit card? Congrats; you've been the cause of the printing of at least M2 money supply.

Money printing does indeed stem back to an initial cause of wars being fought that nations didn't have gold to pay for. But it's not always been a matter of wars of aggression. The American Civil War famously involved Salmon P. Chase, Treasury secretary under Lincoln, borrowing ALL of the nation's gold to pay for the war effort, withdrawing it from the banking system, and putting the money on its first purely fiat standard (the Greenback). As a result (and with the help of one of our oldest allies, the Russians), the US managed to counter the British backed color revolution (which those in the know often term America's third revolution, after 1776 and 1812).

We can talk about the the horrors this caused from the destruction of money, and it seems they did at least try to restore order in the decades that followed, knowing that it was a bit like gnawing off your own arm to escape a deadly situation. But I'd not say that those who entered such an arrangement were inherently evil men.

WWI was far less wholesome, though arguably it was the turbulence in the wake of the Greenback's saga and the restoration of hard money (when debt repayment became a bit like going to the casino as to whether you were getting paid back much less or more more value than you were owed, depending on the date) which primed the country to accept the trojan horse that was the Federal Reserve act under Britain's proxy (and the first Democrat since the war) Woodrow Wilson.

Wounds fester, and need to be cauterized. Whether they're caused by malice, folly, or the surgeon's blade. The fiat politicians are just the cells within the system that happen to be close to the wound, and are thus the most susceptible to becoming gangrenous. They're where the statesmen used to be, before the wound of fiat changed the rules of the game.

Walking is excellent both for physical and mental health.

Wife just swapped out of ETH into BTC. Still has some shitcoins, but baby steps. She'd been unfortunate enough to buy ETH at $10 so it's always felt like a good idea to her, especially as for a little while at the beginning it did even outperform BTC, making it harder to make my case.

Counting this as a win though.

They'd be taking the supply off the market AND not using it for government-y things. Could be worse.

She chewed up her squeaky frisby disc toy a bit and now it's a necklace. #dogstr #petstr

Doesn't this guy have a felony record?

I get there was lawfare but there were laws broken...

It'd take rethinking my fiat mining hustle. And my wife's.

I also wonder if shielding wouldn't be more complete anyway, especially what with satellite communications hitting most everywhere.

Haha, love the name.

Between boy scouts, sailing, and rock climbing (and living with a domme for a bit) I've got a healthy respect for what you can accomplish with a bit of rope. And what happens when you don't use the right knots.

I'm not sure the dancers at the club at my Bachelor party felt the same way, but I certainly gave them a story to talk about.

It was a Monday, nothing better going on anyway...
