Speaking of "all time highs"; my all time high was 267 Lbs. (possibly a bit more because there was time I was a bit fatter still, but didn't monitor or record my weight). I have a 'rock solid constitution', so I was always able to eat whatever I wanted... which ended up being crap. A while back I started eating keto and had some success, but would still eat crap on 'days off' that I chose. A couple months ago my wife and I stopped eating ANY ultra processed foods, seed oils and sugars / HFC. Today for literally the first time in this century I'm down to 200 LBS. Not stopping now! Thanks to my wife (who makes it easy to eat great food that isn't bad for me!), to @Ken Berry, MD for his quality advice and to @Jack Spirko for calling himself 'a fat ass' when he was thinner than me!

2001: We DESPERATELY need more government in the form of the department of homeland security in order to prevent terrorists from killing you! 2024: YOU are a terrorist if you bootleg a movie.

Every day that you hold fiat, bankers and government steal part of that you have ALREADY EARNED. That is why any money I don't need in the next six months is converted to bitcoin. It may gain or lose value in that time, but barring me being careless, NO ONE can steal the value I already worked for. Just THAT would be enough for bitcoin to be the most important financial tool I've seen in my lifetime...

Let the 'fight' begin...

So, the guy who did the HBO 'bitcoin documentary' seems like a self important tool.

1,000 sats to whoever can explain this to me. Mag is full, rounds feed just fine, one round comes out another feeds to the top... but somehow, despite the fact that the follower is pressed tightly against the bottom round, and that pressure transfers all the way to the top round, some how there's a round loose and floating around in there (sound on to hear it)... #AskNostr #Gunstr

So I was watching Lord of the Rings (while I work, I don't have that kind of time to waste!) and I recalled something from a recent episode of The Survival Podcast with @Jack Spirko. Don't recall which episode it was, or whether Jack said it or a guest, but it was a point that I'd never even considered and the crux of it was this: Not so long ago, if someone wanted to instigate war, they couldn't just start chucking warheads at another nation, they had to go find 100,000 or so men who also 'believed in' the reasoning enough to leave their homes and go fight a war. If they didn't find those people, there was no war. How many wars would we see now if that was still the case? #GrowNostr

So I just realized this was literally the first halloween in at least 50 years, that I didn't consume ANY candy. Thanks @Jack Spirko and @Ken Berry, MD
