Last Notes npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Been reading "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" and all I picture is Mark Carney and what he's doing to Canada with his McKinsey consultants, trade BS, EU talk, China moves, selling off airports, and aim to raid our pensions for his Brookfield buddies. Note: not necessary but I'm getting a deeper understanding of the book from prior readings of Gladstein's "Hidden Repression", Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine", and "The Creature from Jekyll Island". npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim So... Amazon can't drive trucks OR fly planes. How will I ever get my crap cheaply? Will I have to go to a local merchant and get it myself?! FML npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Lorex is good. Can do local storage. If you want notifications, streaming, live... Well, they all send data to the borg (pick any nation). If you want all that and no Borg... You'd have to get a very expensive custom setup. Private, Functional and Reliable, or Affordable: pick 2. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Awfully bold of you to assume the gender of a subie driver. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Whatever you do... DON'T drive to "Unfinished Sympathy " by Massive Attack... Especially not the Live version. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim My 6 year old phone has had a good run. I am sooooo looking forward to what Mororola puts out for @nprofile…c5de . Especially since Pixel 11 shit the bed and tries to lure consumers with more questionably (consumer vs consumed) useless AI crap. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim F'n bear market! You've dealt with smoke, wild weather (I assume because it's been a weird year with lots of precipitation north east coming from the west), and now bears! Guess this harvest/production is gonna be pretty limited. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim You can hook into local decompress camps and regional burns that happen throughout the year. I've never been (wanted to go 1997-99 then life took over) but my friend is a local captain for decompresses and camps. It's a tight group open to newcomers. And they're everywhere. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Well... My kids are biracial. Obama was, too. My daughter's boyfriend is, as well. What I don't see is ambiguousky racial representation! If you have an ounce of black, you're black (Obama, Tiger Woods, though he's Blasian). Where's the Wasian? The Wasians get crushed on hard (it's a struggle for this father) but NEVER repped in toys... 🙄 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Another Saturday. Another steak. I've reached the point where I no longer take pics. Just know it was a grilled bone in striploin cooked to the perfect temp, rested well, sliced beautifully, and paired with a beautiful Cab Merlot. Saturdays are my treat night. Sun-Fri are my work reheats... So this ain't all bragging. Got Massive Attack Live at the Royal Albert Hall in the background, if you're wondering. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim It's always nice to have some evidence proving the conspiracy theorists right: https://www.wired.com/story/flock-safety-os-investigate/ Meanwhile, in Canada, we're tapping into the bars for our dystopian nightmares: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/patronscan-id-winnipeg-riverside-bar-9.7312942 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim No deal, eh? marx Carnage went to Italy and purposefully screwed the nation (as was his directive from above). The theatre of it all is something! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Please explain. Can't even get an empty jar for a quarter. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Actually, the fries suck. Too thin. I bought some wagyu tallow from them and it's been great in the cast iron. Local specialty butcher sells tallow for less, however. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Hey! Is anybody else sick of governments utilizing economic levers and tools to enforce behaviors and shape societies to the Dear Leader's desire? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim So... The Canadian Bitcoin Conference was cancelled this year. They blame the bear market. I blame the roster of suitcoiners. Oopsy daisy. I mean, you could host a meetup throwback to earlier days and have more value than what they were planning this year. But what do I know? I never really got the gist of any of these conferences but to either: A) be boastful, throw party, B) meet other influencers to cross post relevance, C) shill projects, D) shill derivatives, E) pump up the hopium, F) shill the parasitic class who cash in on shilling hopium I mean, the whole thing is rather silly. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I know who I'm rooting for at the Honda Indy! https://blossom.primal.net/eef39b3ae3275b0657eeabbd133aba233af332f511088a5ed5263eb3cfcce765.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim What's going on with the weather? How are all these systems coming from the Midwest? I was in Columbus Monday and it was nuts. I'm in Indianapolis today and it's just nuts. I even got an emergency alert for flash floods. These systems are small, compact, and very strong. Lightning, hail, and heavy rain. None of which should be developing out of the Midwest. Who fucked with the code? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I give them the gift of a seat and a real discussion... Much to the chagrin of my family. They think I should "leave them alone" while I think I should test them on what they're promoting from a philosophical, economical, and historical construct. The vast majority of glorified flyer handlers. None of have ever sent the actual candidate to my door. One candidate did doorknock, left flyer, I messaged, and they returned for a mostly shallow (on their part) conversation while I grilled steaks in the backyard. He got points for showing up but lost points for being wishy-washy. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim This father of two publicly declared in his 50th year that he has gone full DILLIGAF. I continue to move, feed, drive, wipe... Also grill, drink, and shrug. I've seen enough cycles to know it ain't in my control and whatever distractions I choose are often better than yours. Disagree? DILLIGAF? I do. And my wife and kids know I do. But only so far as it comes to their wellbeing. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim "I’d layer in plenty of useful NPCs and bots to create even more noise." - says the guy who put a voice to @nprofile…ad8w's book "The Stolgard Incident" and is probably right this is what's happening. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The engineers are competent. The designers are competent. The committees are what kill everything. Source: really good, long time friends of over 30 years in both OEM suppliers and customer brands. Example: designers get muted at the brand. Engineers get muted at the OEM suppliers. Also the bean counters are not just cutting costs where they can in the face of failing fiat but also finding new ways to generate revenue from user info. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Nah. Not even close. That would look more like "One Hamilton Man and twelve Brampton Men charged in unsophisticated coordinated theft ring. Diploma Mill college was found selling fake Internet connected coldcards where seeds were generated by international student Brampton Men callcentre." 😂 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Oh! So that's how they knew where Maduro was. 😂 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I went 6 solid innings then Len came in strutting like Jeff Hoffman and served up a gimme. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes but I think Joey was threatening a trade to just hang with Ben if he lost one more week. 😂 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Yeah... Unfortunately no man is an island and we rely on so many making the right, honorable, decision for us everyday. See the later Arch Linux issue, or recall just a month ago lettuce causing "explorers diarrhea" or "the science" shutting down the world. That's why this stings. It was a poor decision, caused by self interest, and the danger can't from "one of us". npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Here's what I did: Used the seed words in sparrow. Created new wallets in sparrow. Transferred all funds Updated my Mk4 firmware. Wiped it. Generated new seeds with dice (that's as far as I'll disclose here publicly) Imported to Mk4 as an airgapped signing device. Moved coins back under it's signing authority... But, really, with the seedphrase it's all redundant so that's where the real security has always had to be placed. The risk was the old RNG for device created seeds. I was guilty of originally using that DESPITE all advisory not to (including by Coinkite on their website). Self custody isn't easy. It shouldn't be easy. When you elect to take personal responsibility every outsourced security detail is a weakness in the system (I don't care if it's a SentrySafe, shlage lock, nest cam, ring doorbell, not getting your wheels retorqued after seasonal change, etc). Those who give up security for convenience deserve neither. Looking at you Keystone (with no seedphrase? WTF!?). I haven't played with too many other wallets but to watch reviews and there are few I'd consider a valid replacement feature wise. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The wild and wacky theories I see out there. C'mon! "This was an exit/retirement scam" - so that's why it was weak entropy on Mk3 but later Mk4+ got slightly harder? No. It was simply a very bad decision. And one that was overlooked by other auditors. "@NVK is an ass who treated his competitors badly" - you mean like almost any business leader? You mean like Steve Jobs (treated everyone, including his family, badly and was famous for the line "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." Also "You're holding it wrong." (iPhone4 signal issues). "@NVK didn't want me to talk about competing products when he was sponsoring my show". No shit. If you're gonna take money from one vendor you do so allying yourself with that vendor. Ain't no sponsorship in ANY media space in the world gonna want you to do that. "This was all caused by NVK wanting to change licenses." - ok, that true in theory but the result was from poor execution. They iterated on others work to the point that a competitor launched iterating on their work without compensation and with threat to the business model. Passport Core was very cool. To protect the business they did what they had to do while maintaining the spirit of peer reviewability. "They tried to block and slander seedsigner". So? Seedsigner is cool. If you like it, use it. I like security elements and seedsigner doesn't have them. I don't want to run on Pi. That's why I don't have one. But seedsigner has lots of adherents and plenty of marketing material out there. It's a lot cheaper and perfect for many around the world. What NVK did or did not do with seedsigner is none of my business. They exist. They grow. He didn't shut them down. "NVK hasn't spoken in days during this!" You're all out with pitchforks. The moment to get out in front of this has passed. It's been terrible crisis management (aside from @nprofile…9a5l). It's not just the company and business that's crumbling but his life, friends, relationships, and reputation. Leaders lead and he has created the new image of lost. I hope he finds his way back. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Tell me where I'm wrong: I still love my CC. I'm not going to replace it till it dies. I wish I had a couple of Qs (though I always had reservations about using batteries in it). There are features and functions that haven't been copied elsewhere (like Teleport). At this point I don't think there's a single more scrutinized wallet out there and everyone is just pissed about really bad behavior. When setup properly there is nothing currently more secure or reliable in my limited experience. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I'm not a big fan when Google says "hey, here's an alternative route that takes 53mins longer and has tolls!" Yeah, it's giving me options but ultimately I'm the captain of my ship. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Anchorwatch already does this and insures it. They are backed by Lloyds of London to insure it. Requirements, however, of minimum 250k USD (4ish coins at time of post). Costs about 1%. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Truck took some damage from all the rain in NY, NJ, and PA. My coolant system cracked hose connectors. Sucks... But at least I can photograph interesting things while it's being repaired. https://blossom.primal.net/c91c28d02cc8be3da615c33017186c641398d96fad460ccb8dc16dfadf6a30fd.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Ok... Here's what I surpassed today: https://blossom.primal.net/891c4be3b776457a8f05dcbba0a8da6a2bb41de56753da0655d0d14a09bed8fc.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Down south? Nice. Better than the rainy trip I took today of endless weekender returning hell through NYC to Long Island. My family's sats are safe and they're gonna get harder to get. This was a lesson to all. Joey talked about it on Friday's live. He said it was low entropy when he initially set up. Didn't give more details than that. Since that time he hardened his security. Len? Well... You know Len. He's as paranoid and old school as they come. I learn a lot from him on that front. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim They dropped a live Friday night I listened to while working. Covered the range of emotions from pragmatic serenity to emotional. I expect more the same on Monday. What elde is new? 😂 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Closer to 130k. It's a 2015 build date but a 2016 model year. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Proof of Work: 2016 Volvo VNL780 with D13 engine 1.4M miles 190650 gallons of fuel consumed 2593 trips 75,582,357lbs hauled 7.5mpg avg while driving 2 Countries 8 Provinces 23 States Too much maintenance (mostly aftertreatment/emissions) to list BUT original engine with no overhaul. That far surpasses industry average. https://blossom.primal.net/891c4be3b776457a8f05dcbba0a8da6a2bb41de56753da0655d0d14a09bed8fc.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Correction: 270 miles away. 😂 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Oh! Nice! Imma be posting mine later today. 270k miles from a milestone. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Honey butter is awesome! Enjoyed some handcrafted whipped honey St. Brigids (jersey cow) butter on sourdough yesterday so much that we brought some home and used it in place of maple syrup on the pancakes I just made. Game changer! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Asking the real questions! And answer is: none, yet. They've been moved to the creative exploiter's (that's wokespeak for "thief") wallet but we've yet to see more moves. Plot twist: the AI agent created the wallet and the logs for the keys were wiped without sharing meaning they're now lost. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim January 3rd came twice this year... That's how I'm gonna recall it. Really, did we not just watch the maddest scramble of people being forced to redo their setups and transact more than they likely ever have? UTXOs got cleaned up, too! There's always a silver lining. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim You know what's crazier? Morocco is performing dramatically better economically than Canada. So, hey America! You may wanna tighten your borders with those nutters. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The defense was actually following coinkite's recommendation to dice roll. Trusting an RNG, any RNG, is akin to trusting your seed with an engraver who promises they wiped the memory after use (maybe they did but it could still be recoverable). The defense is that too many bought the influencers' ad read without learning truly what they were doing (how many times do you see "my coins are on that card"?) and the damage in understanding is widespread as it's a "wallet" and not called by it's true nature "signing device". These are expensive lessons for those that lost but you better believe it hardened their "don't trust, verify" nature. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim So weird to see so many blaming the CC and looking for a new device where they'll just practice the same poor security hygiene. My advice to one panicked soul: Don't waste money on a new device. There's nothing wrong with using whatever CC model as a signer The issue was in trusting the RNG to create the seed. Move your coins to a Sparrow wallet(s). Create first. Test receive. Delete. Recover. Test send back. Full move. Wipe CC. Update with new firmware. Roll dice (don't trust RNGs anywhere on any device). Add 6-8 word passphrase. Import seed. Test receieve. Delete. Recover. Test send. Move back. Use the CC as the air gapped signing device it was meant to be. Takes about 2hrs depending on the mempool and you can be rolling dice while waiting for test sends/receives. Bonus: you get to practice UTXO hygiene at the same time! (Which you've probably been ignoring for too long). npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Are you able to see how much is in them? How much the largest is? I assume you wouldn't post such without having some concern that someone has some amount of concern... npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim ̶E̶v̶e̶r̶y̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶g̶e̶t̶s̶ ̶B̶i̶t̶c̶o̶i̶n̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶r̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶d̶e̶s̶e̶r̶v̶e̶ You lose your Bitcoin at the trust you misplaced. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim You don't strike me as someone who trusted a RNG. As you posted earlier few on NOSTR learned a lesson they didn't already know. Now those on X? Yeesh... They're crying and promoting lawsuits and grifting... Without understanding the lesson at the root of it all. I mean, if coinkite (and ANY hardware provider) is guilty it's of including the convenience (at the cost of security) of seed generation. Despite their own warnings to users that such required the antithetical trust. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Coming soon to every vlog: "this episode is sponsored by dice" npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Kinda surprised to see the mempool not going harder. Yeah, fees have 4x-5x from 1sat/ to 5 sat/ but still... Either a lot are still unaware or despite the chatter the affected holders are smaller in number. I wonder how many Mk3 (and 4, 5, Q) are in the wild and how many wallets they generated keys for. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim But you've yet to implement the Opti Taco feeder. It's been years since that was proposed. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Drove past Tysons Corners yesterday. One has to wonder, how many offices do you really need? The whole operation could be run on a laptop and a webcam. Oh, the software side? Sell it. Hasn't Saylor said "there is no second best" and wondered what he would instead invest Bitcoin profits in? Yeah... I never bought his shtick but I admired his hustle. https://blossom.primal.net/18e18c0c793a70030875742ea811e6498076f83801fc6a3a2d7d70229bbfd31a.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Unfortunately our daily lives are really just navigating the waters filled with the cheaters and stealers. My daily is avoiding wrecks by people who can't drive (run lights, swerving in lanes while on phones, don't have license and/or insurance), brokers who lie, unions that fight for more breaks than actual work, govt agents who slack (at the border, the customs office, other agencies like CFIA, the IT dept that can't keep the system running, the ministry that fails to negotiate contacts with CBSA, etc), the restaurant worker that didn't practice safe food handling and gave me food poisoning... Oh, man, I could go on. But where's the fun in a utopia where everyone works smart and does what an enlightened society expects? (Oh, I lived in Japan for 4 years and that's as close as I got to it but with such a rules based society I dare you to even try to customize your food order!) npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The exact same argument the UBI promoters push. I'm not saying they have the solution. They don't. But they say the exact same thing. #nevent1q…45uq npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim iPhone user? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I feel like crap... And a car passed me with a kid about 9 years old sitting unbuckled, backwards... She, yes, she looks at me and does the airhorn arm pump with a smile. But I feel like crap from whatever stomach issue and poor sleep. I'm too slow to blow my horn. I watch them drive away, little pre-pubesent hand out the window now giving me the finger. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim No matter what kind of day you're having (this is day 2 of some mild food poisoning and "mild" still sucks)...

They've been together now for 20 years. Their eloping was purely for the adventure of it and nothing more. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim If anyone asks you if what you said was a lie, and you make these faces while that's being asked... You definitely lied. (Taken from Carney's bullshit conference today) https://blossom.primal.net/fb48c5c2f8dd0bad682a3b8dcf6521fa05f384a5a3076c8a3ae6e22846f2f0d7.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim My wife is so confused when I zap juicy rack, squeezing some dripping juices, and just the right amount of pink. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Most of their holdings are the Big 6 Banks which have a widely diversified portfolio (including a shit to be in the US) and actually small exposure to riskier mortgages. Check the Bank ETFs and how they've done... Mad money. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim https://blossom.primal.net/5ce2aca6b7ea708058fb7f9db721563abec8d363077dc44b238a243cab27c67d.gif npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim So when the wife and I down a couple of bottles (because the damn world cup games went on forever) and I'm then looking to crack a beer we've basically disqualified ourselves from the histamine reactions... Is it possible the steak and charcuterie amplified our resistance? Hmmm... I'll have to run more variables. They were Cab Merlot and Sangiovese Cab Sauvs. We will get to the bottom of this! For science! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Important question: how much red wine should I have before considering it a pass on the headache test? I'm willing to take part in clinical trials. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim If you don't think there's a difference between the meat and the cook and whatever else...

This is where the wife wants me to shop for our anniversary dinner' https://www.hqmeats.ca/pages/our-beef-selection They also have awesome Wagyu but we ain't in that bull run territory yet. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim As I told @nprofile…lvce I'm just the catcher sending the signals. He waves off some and delivers the pitch that gets Joey to whiff. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Numerous. And half of them are line cutting assholes who run a lane not fire their trucks because they're special. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim This wildfire smoke is nuts! Visibility less than 1mile.

Their midfield is strong, they're patient, and they frustrate the hell out of opponents. England is the Toronto Maple Leafs of global soccer always with an old star, a young buck, and a core of decent guys on the cusp of greatness... Yet still falling short since the 60s. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim People just talking about Nostr and Bitcoin and not branching out to usual daily conversations. Also, no tards to flame... Well, not many. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim You also can't (easily) download torrents. The number of things you CAN'T do on iOS is hilarious. But more than likely I'll be off android and on Graphene (yeah, same but different) soon enough. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Great movie! And a great homage to Brave New World. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Yeah, it Just is... By a Just man 😂 (had to) npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim New wine name: Tribbles (as in "the trouble with Tribbles") Or "Nothing Stops this Trained to Excess" Or "Just" (as in the Radiohead song with the most will known lyric being "You do it to yourself") npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Well... Spiderman is coming out so I guess climb up the walls? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Maybe... Maybe. A parent will get out of the relationship what they put into the relationship. Let's just say... One of my parents will be dying alone and miserable despite how much we tried to prevent that. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Must be why they've been plentiful and on sale at bargain prices this past month. Was wondering what was going on. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Someone I follow got hacked on X (he was very critical of the Canadian government). Now, I know it's a small sample size but I can't recall anyone being hacked on NOSTR. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim A hard stub is unable to reach for the phone... It's far too busy cursing and crying npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Glad the dissolution of the past partnership isn't stopping you from sharing your story. You and Julian have been killing the content and your island story is just one that needs to be told. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Guessing Jameson played a whole lot of Rez when it came out on the PS2. Or the remix on the PS4. Any way we could add the Rez character and shoot down ordinals and other spam? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Funny fact: the phrase "The last straw" comes from farmers loading carts in England with straw and "the last straw" was the one that the horses could no longer pull. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim They choose a side for a wide variety of reasons... Then they stick to their side, close their minds, and don't want to have their reality shattered. Hence the crash outs when they lose or the exultation when they win. And all the while they were just participants in someone else's game ignoring the basic rules the whole time. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I transported a truckload of vermiculite from NJ to Guelph, ON. Don't know what you pay for the stuff but I'll tell ya, the customs had it less than $0.27/lb (25,060lbs for $6,689). Insane markup at retail! I'm in the wrong business. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim F me! Those are some prices! The beef ribs are good but the brisket at $14/lb is... Tough to chew. Luckily you got lots of smoke so just lay it out by the grapes. (Sorry, bad joke). npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Hey now, Scarbs has some nice areas (had may be more accurate). All the GTA has changed. I'm inverse of you having lived life too good up to 30 before settling down, having kids. That age seems quaint by how people are today. Now 50 and working as hard as ever, savings are good, and partially supporting (gotta teach them personal responsibility and how to make hard choices) two kids through school. Plan is still Freedom55 (may be before your time). Post retirement plan is garden, drink wine, and work on cars. Yes, I'm that much of a stereotype. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Tried some smoke tainted wine last summer from Niagara. It wasn't bad. But the producers, like you, have an art and a craft to achieve what they're going for and hate when something fucks a whole season up. And with this heat there's nothing better than a chilled rose (the Porch Pounder!) New name for the produce: Burned Stack or Lost Keys npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Where's the "don't care" option? Maybe I'm just ignorant but open networks do what open networks do and my inclination is to not care what people do with the network so long as I have real 🌽. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Tis the nature of the dichotomy. Left or Right is just designed to fight. Then you have us Libertarians who are above it all and just want them all to fuck off and leave us alone. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Gotta get through Canada first! 😂 (Probable match... Unless the Canucks face South Korea in the next round) npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Going through The Sovereign Individual again I keep wondering how I would have read it back when it was first published. Mind you, I was 23 years old. I don't think I would have understood just how correct many of his pronouncements were. I always grew up with dual citizenship/two passports. Now the family has three. The wife wanted to potentially risk her native one and I convinced her not to. I also know that those three outs are not really enough... npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Zählen auch diejenigen mit deutscher Abstammung dazu? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Really, if you're not following the FreddyLA guy on X and his world cup adventures... I haven't seen anything like this since the old "one red paperclip" days... Only it's been compressed into a few days. In the latest adventure his flight was cancelled and he was going to miss Germany play on Toronto. The result? A private jet offer, 2x $5B Airlines offering, the Governor of Utah stepping in, and ultimately JJ Watt and American Airlines getting him on his way. The whole net was gonna make sure he got to his game. It's just wild. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Sold my Nokia 2 years ago at $3. It's at $14. Sold my Intel at $45. It's at $117. I'm not selling my ₿. Ever. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Canada, as well. And that's one reason why I trashed my 18 year old acct (still accessible but blank) over a year ago. I have no social media posting BUT for NOSTR and thus only y'all are subject to my inane ramblings. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Took the son to a decent pub to watch Brazil shit the bed and Morocco far exceed expectations. The crowd was unimpressed but me and the boy had a great time. He's just old enough to enjoy it all and the window of us doing such things together is short before he's off to post high-school life. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I told my daughter Musk became a trillionaire today. She was all "that should be illegal." My first thought was "where did I go wrong?" But then I said: - his "trillion" is nominal. It's worth 500B 20 years ago. And only 50B 100 years ago. - his "trillion" is mostly paper based on what the market of investors/leeches/pumpers are gambling on and benefiting from. We're he to try to sell it all and get the fiat cash it would crash the market. - his "trillion" revolutionized the EV industry and survived off green credits the global govts mandated while building out. - his "trillion" provides free Internet services to wartornand disaster struck regions. - his "trillion" rescued astronauts stranded by both their govt and competitor. And if the world found no value in what he has accomplished he wouldn't be worth, on paper, a trillion. She just nodded along like "ok, ok dad." #nevent1q…6wmx
