I go to the same Starbucks most Fridays to meet with my business partner.
There’s an older Millennial/younger Gen X (my guess is that she’s a younger Gen-X) barista that works here. Her coworkers are mostly Gen-Z. There is a world of difference between how she treats customers and how coworkers treat customers. She’s personable, helpful (she wiped down the counter for me; I didn’t even ask), cheery, and engaging. Her coworkers are nice and pleasant but there’s a big gap between her and her coworkers.

I deleted all social media apps off my phone. The algorithms for those apps are too good and sucked a lot of time from me. Primal is the only thing I have that’s close to being social media but no algorithm.

The Decisive Moment: “There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.”
—Henri Cartier-Bresson, legendary street photographer.
Photographically, and on so many different levels, this was a decisive moment.

This is part of the IRS’s definition of “digital asset”:
“Digital assets are not real currency (also known as fiat) because they aren't:
- The coin and paper money of the United States or another country
- Digitally issued by a government's central bank.”
They want you to believe that “Fiat,” which literally means “by decree” is real.

Agreed. You can usually spot these people. They’re the ones that usually don’t take any notes or write down any follow up action items from a “collaborative” meeting. The meeting is just to demonstrate their “intelligence”.

Excellent explanation. I think you mean to say they re-sell the same mortgage and not house? A single mortgage could wrapped up in different collaterized-debt obligations (CDO). They effectively “securitized” mortgages and sold them off.

Explaining to my daughter the difference between private and secretive.
She wondered why I asked that a Venmo payment be set to private and to put a “.” in the description. She asked me why I was being so secretive. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_cc207ab4fa875bd3ee825609efde4ff6648a598ff1ee57f8cd583e1d7a2dd691.jpeg

Unexpectedly spent some time today orange-pilling someone who bought bitcoin about 2 years ago (probably due to FOMO) and hasn’t considered it since. He still has it on Coinbase so I told him to get it off the exchange. He’s considering buy more regularly. A possible win if he follows through.

A superpower to develop: listen to an audio book at 2x speed while doing task by rote.
For the past two Sundays, I’ve listened to 3 books on 2x speed while meal prepping for a few hours.
This doesn’t work with every book (e.g. don’t pick von Mises’s “Human Action”) and the task is one you can do on autopilot.
