Gm nostriches, Hmmm, so I can now move to Portugal without having to save €500k to get myself a high net worth visa? Ngl, the world will be burning by this point, but least the winters will be mild and the wine and fish fairly priced!!!!

Gm nostriches, weekend survived and into the week, hopefully catching up with a now ex colleague who managed to jump ship on the latest round of “mutually agreed resignation scheme” offers. While he’s only been away a week or so, hoping he doesn’t make life on the other side look too appealing. Then back to “the stage” to perform for the final year students again, this time, attempting to get a group of 20-22 year olds, who have probably not read that much (on average), to appreciate the opportunity they have and the value they can get from really beginning to read around a topic……. “Yo studies, even wondered what money actually is? Or why it’s always worth less?” Uphill battle, very early start with the worrying “#catstr meow” that often means a beastie has been brought in side, deep breath and into the breech. Proper harvest moon I reckon.

#theweek doing their best to stoke up the anti data centre sentiment…… good luck making it economical in the Uk with our energy prices , but maybe the “water consumption fear” may help use get a very wet country into a state where our water actually works and isn’t full of sewerage. After all the piece @Margot Paez / jyn urso wrote destroying the UN piece of land mass use and Bitcoin, as soon as a piece says “UN researchers” did anything, may response is get some proper research done you lazy toads.

Great episode @Peter McCormack , Russell Napier, even withstanding his favouring of gold over Bitcoin. The fall in the value of long term bonds is wild, legislated to buy a countries bonds and then the government effectively steals 80% of the value as they increase rates!!!!

Gm nostriches, eye opening pod on @Peter McCormack with Callum Smiles, truly terrifying, social servants not giving a shit about how much they spend, the government funding pro illegal migration NGO’s, and as a father of two daughters, uk as the rape capital of Europe. Oh, let’s just check that, oh statista? That is fucking grim, wtf happened in 2016, oh yeah, legal migration started tapering off, government pump those numbers up with randoms from around the world and a large sprinkle of deliveroo riders. We can’t hate the government enough. Not going to back a true civil war, well unless it is the people against the government…… oh wait, that would be a revolution……… fix the money, fix the world, no more £70 air fresheners!!!!! So withdrawing all money from state sanctions entities. Robert Jenrick and Liam Fox, what absolute toads!!! Morning walk done, #coffeechain in Thursday treat format, big and creamy, and now to make some porridge for the eldest. Then a bike ride to rid me of this boiling fury. Have a good one freaks

How it feels when raising questions about how the other half is parenting……..

Gm nostriches, day by day the mornings are getting darker, while most likely the result of the time of year, also a metaphor for the ever darkening financial antics of the world around us. At least there were a few early birds around to give a bit of a lighter sound track. Checking in on my favourite morning metrics, Japanese, US and UK 10y yields (checking before btc, but dollar value isn’t important, but also another signal), Japan just under 3, US just under 5, BUT UK screaming above 5.3% and a move from 5.1% earlier in the week. Borrowing just got 4% more expensive or with the debts they’re/we’re carrying, that is a cool additional £5.2 billion in interest expensive (if all debts were 10y, average duration actually higher, so could be a bigger increase as longer term bonds are worse)………… not wanting to come across as crass or anything but we’re fucked!

Grabbed a quick refill before the rapidly rising oil price hits the pumps. £1.89 a litre and just getting the tank full in at just under a ton.

Ga nostriches, morning run done before 7, working like an ass most of the day in the garden, didn’t like a mass of ivy, cut it down up a pretty high ladder and reviewed something much better (now need a Batman figurine to brood on it). Some great listen with @npub1zedr...d6e3 and @Daniel Prince , for the most part pretty good in the diet, but the fiat mine just makes me want to consume crap…….. (4 hour work week could fix that), the gut health this fascinating (also something that it turns out is related to getting good sleep). Looking into the week ahead, some painful new year prep to do, but also aiming to enthuse some young minds so not all bad, with a lovely mini side project, along side the main research projects to bring in the used of AI into real businesses, cheers @npub1tccn...e6fh for the data point of “nah, china hasn’t been making videos of Saylor dance, they use it for what everyone is scared of, production related inflation, and they are kicking our asses”.

Mayo clinic, “Covid vaccine neither causes nor accelerates cancer”, hmmm, if it wasn’t accelerated, why would it be a brief battle with cancer? And she was extremely pro vaccine as well……..

Gm nostriches, can’t say no to a “first domino to fall” titled video to get the morning going. Austerity leading to the Great Depression, oh yeah, who has the appetite for that…….. which politicians have the backbone for that, only for the next election to give their opponent their seat (and their zero effort paycheque). Biggest problem is the ability for these Charlatans to market to their voter base, “we’ll continue giving you free stuff it you vote for us”. The problem with Austrian economics is it’s honest and requires hard work. The secret sauce of communism? Promising free shit for lazy people to buy their votes, the power of the marketing drowns out all arguments related to “evidence”. Hmmm, maybe that’s why I dislike marketing so much. Deep breath, stay away from the commies, have fresh eyes for those who justify such policies, they know not what they say, and don’t have the agency to actually find their own answers, they are lazy and want the easy answers. Interesting seeing a trezor advert on YouTube this morning, if only I could order it and not worry about having my address hacked……. Only the plus side, ledger have already doxed my address so wouldn’t get any worse.

Gm nostriches, while Jacob is a bit of a caricature , a simple review of what’s happening in the global markets with government overspending playing into global currency tomfoolery, with a useful historic British angle. No one has any money, printers are going brrrr, and when one currency collapses, Peter starts having to pay Paul, with his ninth credit card. Absolutely zero suggestions of what to do, other than, I reckon, hold cash (but then he’s not convinced about bitcoin). The interesting point for me was “October is the month for crashes”, so would that be a rate hike in September, and brown stuff hitting rotating cooling device a month later? Guess he’s not heard of “Uptober”. https://share.google/h0glE7sfi6aNenPVH
