People BIG mad at Jonny Ive and Ferrari when they should be BIGGER MAD at the bullshit regulations their unelected EU govt put on them. Do I like the new Luce (Nissan Leaf Pro Max)? No. But I'm also not a Ferrari customer dropping over $600k. Like, in what world is the 10% of sales (per regulation) going to make any difference? This is communism making the hated billionaire class bow down to their authoritarian desires. Let the market speak for itself. If Tesla thought there was a market for a pimped out Plaid++ they'd have already invested in building one and overcharged 3x what it would have been worth (for clout, of course).
BTW Ferrari are also dicks about people customizing their cars with wild graphics so fuck Ferrari. They haven't turned out anything good in 9 years.
Why yes! Yes I did just have some pizza. And I traded fiat for it through a card that gives me sats back and rounds up to trade more fiat for BTC. No they didn't take BTC at the upstate NY truckstop. No it wasn't great pizza. BUT in the end I had pizza AND increased my stack so that's still a win in my book.
Everyday is pizza day for me. Sort of. Every hour on the hour I trade $1 of fiat for BTC. Of, you thought your DCA was cool but have you tried HCA? I pull it from the exchange when it hits a reasonable amount. So, everyday is $24. That's about 1 good pizza or two regrettable ones. So everyday is pizza day in my mind.
Yes, that's every hour on the hour of my life.
I really miss the analog world. A world we lived peacefully in with our doors unlocked and a few nutters running around.
Then it all changed and we all got imprisoned.
- Snowden revealed how the NSA and UK GCHQ under PRISM taps all net traffic in 2013. Weirdly he went to Russia which also uses such tech.
- Palantir is showing how to process that data but to truly be effective it needs massive data centres which are under way.
- Canada is trying to get Bill C22 which would allow all devices to be turned into monitors for the state.
- The Ontario Police have now been revealed to have such tech so C22 just legitimizes what they were already doing.
- Israel developed the tech.
We were so peaceful. So who pulled the strings to end the peace? It wasn't just 9/11. It was a concerted effort to stir up the minions by introducing elements of disharmony requiring greater restrictions. Break the families. Import non-compatible cultures. Break the money that they print. Spike crime. Those at the top (not the top we see... The real top) are beneficiaries. They enslaved us willingly while we watched the circus and scrounged for bread.
The cage we lie in is so well built that we don't even see how strong it is. And they know that even in the matrix most would rather stay just comfortable enough with sense of security THEY provide in exchange for your alms. And even we who choose to opt out will be faced with such a daunting task they know most will just give up or run out of time.

@walker I read your post on nut milk and affects on bees. Ready for another? DEF (Diesel Emissions Fluid, ie that expensive shit every new diesel truck be it a pickup or tractor trailer has required since 2009) turns the emissions from those trucks into a noxious gas that blinds their senses. Any tractor trailer hauling bees has to be pre-2009 emissions regulations. So we combine that with your post on almond "milk" and we get setup for collapse.
Also, why the fuq you posting just on X? I use it for DOT traffic alerts and then check my followings who haven't transitioned, yet. Yes, I am Nostr shaming you. NOSTR (with an ŏ not an ō)
There's a town in Pennsylvania called Shartlesville. I really hope their highschool football team is the Browns. 😂
I'm totally looking forward to the Sat: Hamilton parity... In 12 years... 😂
Thanks Fidelity! And let me make my own prediction: Bitcoin could hit 10B , or Sat:Ben parity by 2050. But to do so will require the "Council of Bens" approval Right,
@BTC Sessions (you're still the chair of that committee?)
The first gift I ever gave my wife of 21 years (when we were early dating and we've been together for 26 years now) was a pair of sneakers so we could be active together hiking around and roaming the streets. The second was a mini disc player and some "mix tapes".
It's never been about money. It's never been about flash. Its always about the memories you make and if your partner doesn't get that it ain't gonna last or be strong enough to 23qther the tough times.
11 year old commercial truck.
1.37M Miles
Level 1 inspection by the DOT as part of their seasonal blitz. They crawl ask over the truck. They crawl under the truck. They test everything. They check logs. It's the to inspection and one that strikes fear into drivers. A failure in any point can put them out of service, parked on site until a costly roadside register is made. The results are public. The customers know. Insurance knows.
I passed with flying colors.
Just attended a tour and intro to Carleton University in Ottawa. The field my son is interested in is embedded in a completely unrelated faculty that appears to just be a stream of wannabe bureaucrats and govt teat suckers. They boasted how tied to the govt they were, how they got various Liberal current and former ministers, and how they could get the prospective students jobs in other globalist regimes.
I feel dirty.
My son just wants to bust crooks. This place clearly wants to indoctrinate the upholding and expansion of top down thievery.
A woman (parent) just asked the presenter "How he would describe the faculty's culture" and while that surely a broad, open ended question the answer was given as a stumbling and rambling authoritarian word salad of meaninglessness. Now several other officials are chiming in. It's as if they're trying to address everything but what I suspect the original question was seeking to get.
Update: I asked the woman and it was confirmed that she was seeking to be reassured of an openess of political leanings and not just a left wing bias.
Canadian census came. From talking to others it appears we're getting different questions... 🤔
Some other's got questions on educational level and family history of education (maybe not known by Statscan and can, though not definitively relate to incomes).
No. I got languages spoken in house, primary language, French education (ok, need that to address resident communication needs, especially with the massive influx of immigrants we've experienced)... Genders... And bloody "gender assigned at birth". Are you F'n kidding me? They didn't ask about other "dysmorphias" or "illnesses per the DSM". They had a comment box at the end of the short census... I let them know I was offended by lack of other mental health questions and correlating social media (tiktok) use nor about MSM (govt paid, mind you) and liberal voting intention correlation.
I have fiat in a captured registered account (RRSP... like a 401K). I've held MSTR in it because it's bloody captured fiat. Now... I don't know what to do. I've been concerned for a while. Seems other holders like
@walker and
@joey are holding with... reasons (some good, some hopeful, some questionable). At the same time those who do not hold it are "Never MSTR". If my fiat wasn't captured, I know I wouldn't buy it (and would, as always, just hold the corn in my own barn).
Leaning towards dumping... Sigh
A door knocked for the local Liberal MP came by my house. She wanted to know if we were "still in alignment" or some such nonsense. I didn't get mad. I pitied her. My opening move was to ask why she was doing this. Why she was supporting this MP and govt. We went over all of her talking points and I, no humble brag, systematically destroyed all of them.
The craziest thing? She was an 2018 immigrant from Zimbabwe who had worked as a risk analyst at a bank there. I had to ask if she had any trillion dollar notes... Sadly she did not. I asked what she knew about the alternatives to the liberals, specifically the conservatives and Pierre Poilievre. She knew nothing but emotionally triggering propaganda. I enlightened her to some facts. I suggested that a risk analyst, by training, should be exploring all options and verifying details. I then ran down an exhaustive list of confirmed scandals the liberals have committed and this MP supported. I finished with a discussion on the inflation she experienced in Zimbabwe, the failures of the fiat system, the ludicrous nature of a central banker and the K shaped economy we're experiencing that benefits the elite and the catillionaire class, while she, now a PSW, has been struggling and seeing no benefit. It was all very pleasant and she left with "you've given me much to consider".
I don't think I'll ever see her again and I'm sure she marked in her logs "do not approach".
Fuckin' Canada and their commie hallway healthcare hits a lot harder when it's family.
I 💕💕💕 how Mark Carney is fully on display showing the world that fiat money is meaningless but to those who will accept it. Debt? Meaningless. IMF reports? Meaningless. Economists? Meaningless. Your disagreement with economists? Meaningless. Journalists? Meaningless. Accountability? For what meaningless actions? All meaningless.
The only thing that does have meaning, and this will become increasingly obvious in the coming months, is what you can directly control.
Silly scammers.
1) leave fake email not even spoofed.
2) I don't leave anything on exchanges.
3) haven't used these guys in years.
4) withdrawal to a non-existing address (according to mempool).
Something that always cracks me up watching "Adventurer" videos is that I know, from their perspective of being between 5-6' tall they're often looking at rocks and trees. So many of the real "money shots" come from them getting all micro in the focus or sending up a drone to capture what they can't really see. In the end, what they experience and show is all through a screen... Just like me on my couch.
