Agreed. I keep going back to BoW since Tears is just not engaging to me. The build thing and being on same map is less than fun. 

 Just ordered a tub and chiller. Got tired of tons of ice cubes for the bath. Excited to get much colder. Loving the feeling after - almost like pain meds. :) 

 Ice Barrel 300, Active Aqua ¼ HP, and supplies. Just under $2.5k with taxes and shipping. About the cheapest I could find with insulation and decent looks. 

 If it could look a mobile gaming machine or phone that’d be so dope since then no one would know what it’s for - especially if people make games for it. Swap out SD cards for games vs wallet. 

 Excellent ending point! 

 What types of categories, though? Take gymnastics: do you go with weight or BMI? But how do you handle that men typically have more upper body strength? Take running? Is it weight, height, etc?

Even if it something as simple as BMI or some single number formula how many groupings do you have? 

Let’s say there are 2-3 groups. Who’s watching those events? I assume everyone would watch the “top” group since they’d be more elite. 

Bottom levels prob wouldn’t be watched. 

You could argue men’s sports are watched more but at least some folks like to watch women’s sports. If you just have groupings based on some single number of “eliteness” then who watches the lower levels where there is no gender differences?

As in, some women’s sports might have lower level of “elites” (compared to men) but people will watch women’s gymnastics and running, etc. But who’s going to watch “Level 3” athletes that are, by definition, the least elite? 

 I’m not a boomer but I don’t love swears. Swearing is clearly a way to express an extreme utterance (if not then just say something tame like “flip”) so why would someone taking offense be unexpected? 

 😄 

 Garmin works nicely on Apple. I’ve been an Apple Watch user since the first one and I switch to Garmin 4 months ago and am preferring it. To be fair, I love analog watches and have the Crossover and am also an avid runner (which Garmin is better for vs Apple Watch). 

 Nice! I have the Crossover Solar and love it. If you run a lot it’s dope. 

 I have mornings like this. But, they are far less since I’ve started running 3 miles 4-5 times a week. First few weeks no big change but after that it has made mornings better. I think maybe the running is helping me sleep better and stress less. I also run without music - that may be related (more time to think seems to lower stress). 

 Just be prepared for places that no longer take cash. Also, don’t take hundred dollar bills - lots of places can’t break them. 🙄 

 Have you found any that you can turn even when hands are sweety? Most dive watches I’ve had are hard to turn without dry hands. For that reason I gravitate toward super compressor watches. 

 What do you mean you include the home? Like, you turn off the internet? I like the idea of “going 90s” 

 I used to do something I called "hardcore week" where I would do something similar. But I'll have to try a day of it since I couldn't stick with a week very often. 😃 

 I’m also skeptical. That being said, a lot of folks don’t like or understand bitcoin and then change their mind (myself included). But, prob he just wants money and to win. 

I don’t know if I’ll vote for Trump but at least he’s acting favorably to Bitcoin - Biden seems openly hostile to it. So what’s worse? A guy against it or a guy that could go either way since we don’t know how he really feels? 

 Same here. Seems like being offended is a choice. 

 Interesting. I would assume some warlord areas may be worse but maybe that’s more of a short term situation? 

 Where do you buy it? My spouse does all the shopping so I'm a moron about where to get stuff.  

 I generally think the same way as you. However, my concern is the future. What happens if my ideologies become “problematic” in the future when sentiment shifts for one reason or another. Look at folks who get canceled based on past comments, that at the time, were acceptable. 

 That’s pretty baller. I’m not sure if I’m a weak man or if I think my wife and kids need me too much. Hard to know what the answer is unless tested. I just hope to not be tested. I’d rather not find out that I’m a tittybaby. :) In the meantime ima try to be private - ala Ron Swanson. 

 Ver is a crazy guy and if he did underreport his holdings then that’s bad news. Also, his businesses were US businesses. 

Are taxes too high? Is the exit tax sucky as heck? Yes and yes. But, it sounds like Ver is guilty of laws he should have known about. Yikes. 

 Correct, but his businesses were US based. Also, the US has an exit tax when you expatriate - which sucks. 

 I’m fine to pay some kind of minimum tax to live in a good place. But the US is getting excessive and the exit tax at $2m is a joke. A few more years of inflation and most folks will be making $2m a year. :) 

 Totally fair. But then you cannot expect to live in a place with services like roads, police, military, etc. Unless those things can be subscribed to or paid for like how anarchists believe (which could happen - I just haven't seen it happen anywhere yet).  

 It is currently at $2m. Any assets over $2m are treated as if sold and you pay taxes at cap gains rates.  

 Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads. 

:) 

 Sad thing is so many folks just want to be “safe” and so more restrictions slide in without much of a fight. 

 I think Fiat Standard implies this. If I recall correctly, he points out that bitcoin can’t scale to normal daily transactions and that it’ll be banks, companies, and countries that do on-chain stuff (due to fees being too high for normal use) and layer two stuff will be for daily transactions.

Isn’t that just common sense, though, based on throughput limitations as of now? 

 I’m a big fan of Walther. So comfortable. 

 Any combination of words would result in a wallet. The fact that there are zero transactions shows that it’s not someone else’s wallet. 

 I feel like there is some kind of dirty/metaphorical joke somewhere here…
