Primal.net says its trying to connect me to my relays. Then I go looking for what my relays are and I don't see the setting. But I'm getting notes, just can't post.

Well X means Elon is going to do what he said he'd do. Also probably means more folks will migrate over here as it becomes obvious. Assuming enough people know the risk/benefits of each model.

Streaming services came along just in time to hide the decline in the ability to produce quality dvds. They come from the vendors scratched up and discolored.

I used to like Babylon 5, but now so many of the assumptions in the script obviously lead to clown world that it's impossible to enjoy.

Vox Day is suggesting the Russian or Chinese may have blown up a Dow Chemical plant to keep U.S./Nato from being able to make more munitions.

I'd like to see some research on the countries that have managed to thwart color revolutions. What actually worked. Listening to podcast with Belarus "journalist". Not saying their gov is great, but she's tripping all my alarms.

Lending in bitcoin. Since only 21 million will be made, and some of it will be lost, wouldn't it made sense to lend with regard to buying power? Target, say 5% increase in buying power, not specific amount of bitcoin. If bitcoin goes up, borrower has to return less. But if bitcoin goes down, borrower has to return more. Bootstrap the bitcoin economy, but there's hedging and a return for the lender. Seems like it would be better for the lender than those old coin fountains from back in the day.

It was a possum. It may be hurt. Theoretically I could grab it, but I don't want to get bit. Also don't want it to move further away, especially if it is going to die or something. I'm going to have to get some gear. I hope they are like cats where they are calm if you can grab them by the scuff of their neck.

The conspiracy to deprive me of sleep culminated in guys cutting the grass next door at 7:30am. Probably should have gone to the gym, but I've only had like 3hrs of sleep after that possum or whatever tried to invade my home.

Something that seemed ridiculously large seemed to think getting under my tub was a good idea. It sounded like it had a fight with something else, which is what alerted me to it's existence. I only had a few things on hand to attempt to dissuade it- wood vinegar, peppermint oil, banging on various parts of my house to try and get it to go away. What seemed to work though- I took a shower. This was in part, inspired by the dastardly creature, because I certainly worked up a sweat trying to get it to leave. It made a sort of hissing noise and sounded dangerous, but after the shower, I haven't heard that sound again- even though I tried banging again. It either left, or decided to shut up. Hopefully, it didn't have fleas or anything contagious. #grownostr
