Oddbean new post about login | logout 6 months after we though we solved this problem, the basement had flooded again after just a typical rain. So much of my stuff is ruined. Boxes of electronics and Dover stuff I had to put up in the studio when it was done. An entire box of bitcoin books, including my signed Fiat Standard from @saifedean, same with my Bullish Case signed from Vijay, 7th Property from Yakes The motherboard I fought with for months to get repaired, soaked completely through. This is a fucking shit show. My whole show setup is down here. Don’t even know what to do honestly.
That’s horrible, sorry Guy.
Oh no! Drowned the machines? That’s fucking stupid. 🤦
Real sorry to hear about this my friend.
That’s horrible, I’m so sorry.
Waterproofing basements is expensive and very hard work. Is it seeping through the block or is it coming through a door entrance?
It’s coming up from underneath.
Was your sump pump overwhelmed too quickly to move precious items? Or no sump pump at all? https://jenkinsrestorations.com/the-basics-and-the-benefits-of-a-sump-pump Really sorry to hear about this. Thanks for everything you do.
We rebuild
probably not much consolation but when everything falls down very often we get up a lot faster than we expect, so, good luck, godspeed
Appreciate it. I’ve unfortunately been here before. Just not as bad as this one. I grew complacent thinking it was solved
F man, so sorry to hear this. I have a bunch of extra audio gear if you need anything.
Thanks man, really appreciate the offers of help. I have my travel mic still luckily. I’ll figure it out. Always do. Just fucking sucks a great giant donkey dick. I just want to give up on this fucking house sometimes. Wasted so much bitcoin trying to make this piece of shit work for us.
fuck that house!
Tap that ass. 🫶🏻

You're doing great, bro 🙏🏻
This sucks sooo bad 😞 nostr:nevent1qqst785ffry7vyh6ldn9p7l524mr0x8tl6aurg6l8f4gt6rdk9lahycprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujummjv9hxwetsd9kxctnyv4mqyg9euaj5dwsxg4hdxqweu54uf8ay3ec2d0ezs2l85xh899rkzgprmspsgqqqqqqsps8rt4 https://giphy.com/gifs/robot-simone-giertz-NHIecaiSc7YjK
😬Sorry to hear.🙏
Ugh. That sucks man. Sorry to hear that.
That’s their exit? Their own ass? 🤦 @brady In Swedish they have a saying: Världens vigaste man, kröp up i arslet och försvann Logical fallacy. In your case of why a jar in a human can live to tell about it by setting the right standards for operating. But complete Atlantis is kinda kamikaze chimera safe. You didn’t have to Atlantis, just make sure to always have the right plates on when thinking. Simple enough to correct, fraught of knowledge, but intentional kamikaze chimera? Walking through the desert with no water to be found? 🤦 https://image.nostr.build/a2efd277ed8a20b8b817d5a775ea2b0491f254747c242948b1f03485439f45d0.jpg https://image.nostr.build/18ff161db52604c1ddc1744d07e3487467a3f212884cf031b80e18c75eac408f.jpg
Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change, right? Flawed reasoning doesn’t mean that you adapt to accommodate what’s smart.

Fuck man this sucks, I hope you backed up some of the digital work. Glad there were no keys lost in this flooding accident 😅 For what it's worth, I am sure @saifedean and others would happily send a signed copy again.
inscriptions never get flooded
🤣🤣 thanks for the laugh. I needed that
I'm so sorry, Guy. But one thing that you didn't lose and you never will is your success. That can't ever be destroyed. Another thing that didn't get flooded is my sincere admiration for you that helped spark my podcast. There are many more important things you have that can never get flooded out.
So sorry, dude. Take a beat. One step at a time. Beware the mold...trust me.
deep breath. iron your cape back to the skies we will do what we can Lotta people in your corner in the end there will be only bitcoin
I’m sorry to hear, that sucks! I recently broke 3/4 limbs in an accident. I require help to do everything and will be out of work for months. I will recover in time and i know you will too. take some time and then move forward.
Damn bro. What kind of wreck?
😱🫂💜
Show @TheGuySwann some love and zap him to help out. I owe so much to @Bitcoin Audible nostr:nevent1qqst785ffry7vyh6ldn9p7l524mr0x8tl6aurg6l8f4gt6rdk9lahycpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsyg9euaj5dwsxg4hdxqweu54uf8ay3ec2d0ezs2l85xh899rkzgprmspsgqqqqqqspp09cj
Dude that sucks. I have had my basement flood only to learn that my sump pumps had burnt out. I always double check before any storms. Thanks so much for your work. It has been pivotal in my understanding of Bitcoin and many other economic and philosophical lessons. Vent, Breathe, Regroup, Repair, and Improve. As we all know you will!!
It'd be awesome to zap Guy enough to cover the insurance deductible. nostr:note1hu0gjjxfucf047mx2ralg4tkx7vwhl4mcx347wn2sh5xmvtlmwfskdckhj
Ohhh man sorry, many towns near me have also been flooded since November. Entire houses have been lost, really sad to see that
I am so sorry man!! This is so sad to hear. I hope you recover soon! 🙏
Your post is getting a lot of attention. Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed
Sorry bud. Houses in Costa Rica does not have basement. Not one. I say you close that mf and never use it again. You will do fine recovering your stuff (take the motherboard in a big box with rice, let it there for few days... Silica gel helps too.) Stay positive ⭐
Oof. Sorry to hear that. The motherboard might be possible to save, the way Tico said, though I'd recommend a couple of more steps first to maximize the chances and avoid possible problems in the future: First, if it's installed, remove the BIOS battery as soon as possible, to minimize any electrolysis corrosion, then rinse the board with distilled water to get off any salts or dirt in the flooding water, that otherwise later might absorb moisture from the air and start conducting, then put it to dry according to Tico's instruction.
It hasn’t had anything installed on it yet, so it’s about as “fresh” as it gets. I have it sitting in front of my miner downstairs to dry along with a bunch of books that might be salvageable. Hopefully the water was clean enough that it isn’t a problem and it boots up fine when I get the other machine back together. The other things related to that with water damage are mostly my stack of silent fans that were going into my computers and my S9 for the space heater. The S9 is an old beast so maybe it’ll start back up fine as well. I’m hoping that many of the things that ended up in the water might still be recoverable.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the fans, usually it's not much more than a Hall effect sensor and a couple of transistors in them, IIRC. Depending on bearing type, there might be places that trap water though, potentially causing rust if it remains, so I'd shake them thoroughly in different directions and let them dry for an extended time.
Horrible mate, feel your anxiety, got an issue with my roof. Weather is relentless 🤦
oh no
I'm so sorry to hear this, Guy! That really sucks
What in the actual world... Stupid question of my part... fixed how, contractor involved? warranty of any kind? I mean... Oi!!! I'm angry now...
Keep zapping this great man in our community nostr:note1hu0gjjxfucf047mx2ralg4tkx7vwhl4mcx347wn2sh5xmvtlmwfskdckhj
@saifedean Guy is going to need some books for his unexpected camping trip - sort an old friend out with some signed copies. nostr:note1hu0gjjxfucf047mx2ralg4tkx7vwhl4mcx347wn2sh5xmvtlmwfskdckhj
Amigo! Sry have been there in past. It will get better these physical things will not matter one day. Dm me if there is anything we can do to help you.
Hope these sats can help you recover Guy.
Dam! Take a deep breath. One foot in front of the other. Dehydrator machine may help some objects. Good luck 🍀
Man that stinks.
sorry to hear about the flood bro.
Thanks man. It’s still so gross down there. Hoping nothing else gets ruined just from the humidity.
Oh nooooo I’m so sorry 😞
Thats gotta suck a lot, im sorry man. There are ways to restore your books tho, text may not look the same but you can still try. I should get a copie of reasons why not to buy altcoins... seems very compelling!
Brutal. Please know how many people are sending you positivity right now... thanks for all you do. Sorry this happened brother
