GM. Did you know that 1/3 of US beef and pork production is slaughtered in the US, the carcasses cut in half lengthwise, frozen, and shipped to China where it gets thawed, processed into cuts, refrozen, and shipped back to the USA for domestic consumption? The US lumber industry is similar. The logs are loaded onto ships and sent to lumber mills in China where they are sawed into dimensional lumber and chemically treated before being shipped back to the USA for domestic consumption. The USA does not have have the processing or storage capacity onshore to deal with the sudden halt in the flow of these products. There is already a massive lock up in the supply chain. These massive hog factories and cattle feed lots are likely already killing massive numbers of animals and bulldozing them into large pits. The JIT globalized system has some serious issues.

GM Any recommendations for a good bitcoin cold wallet companion for my alby self custodial lightning wallet?

The telepathy tapes podcast. Who would have guessed that non-verbal autistic people may very well be capable of astral projection and telepathy.

My sheep investment just returned 100% ROI again. My Icelandic ewe just gave birth to another ewe and a ram without any assistance. Last year she did the same. The ram paid for their living expenses, which means what started with 1 sheep has turned into 3 sheep in 3 years. Crypto isn't the only way to crush folks. And if the global electricity grid goes down tomorrow, my bleatcoin reigns supreme! 😅

A very disturbing thing I discovered is that the dude who patented the content suggestion algo for the likes of YouTube spends his time raping kids, and uses the royalties to pay off the victims. The same guy founded Tether, and appears to be working to subvert the original spirit and intent of Bitcoin and crypto. Is an asshole like that active here? How deep does this rabbit hole go?

This week I'm glad I'm not going into space as a test monkey in a trans polar orbit. We have a monster sunspot with magnetic complexity rotating in, and if it launches a sizeable X-class flare, then the solar protons will be funneled in through the poles via earth's magnetic field. The radiation could easily kill the crew in a situation like that.
