Oh I like this.  I’m also going to start calling my spendable fiat as my “deployable capital.”  Classy as fuck.


With the economy being most people’s biggest concern, I think the dems doomed themselves by trying to blame grocery stores for rising food costs.  It’s simple these days for people to find a podcast that quickly explains to them why that’s bullshit.

“It seems obvious to me now- though I have been slow, I must say, in coming to the conclusion- that the institution of private property is one of the main things that have given man that limited amount of free-and-equalness that Marx hoped to render infinite by abolishing this institution.  Strangely enough Marx was the first to see this.  He is the one who informed us, looking backwards, that the evolution of private capitalism with its free market had been a precondition for the evolution of all our democratic freedoms.  It never occurred to him, looking forward, that if this was so, these other freedoms might disappear with the abolition of the free market.”

-Max Eastman, “Socialism Doesn’t Jibe with Human Nature,” Readers Digest, vol 38, June 1941, p. 47.

My grandpa always had a giant bowl of ice cream after eating something super spicy. The next morning on the toilet his rallying cry would be “COME ON ICE CREAM!”


My favorite Friday the 13th movies ranked…..

1. Friday the 13th Part III
• The lead actress in this one is pretty terrible, but the supporting cast of characters are great.  More importantly, this is where Jason gets his iconic hockey mask.  There’s also one of the all time best kills where Jason squeezes a dude’s head until his eyes pop out.

2. Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter
• I would say this is the best “film” of the group, which isn’t saying much, but still!  Starring Crispín Glover and a super young Corey Feldman, it’s the first one that’s not at a summer camp.

3. Friday the 13th Part VI : Jason Lives
• I always find it interesting that the Jason Vorhees that everyone thinks of today, the super human strength/ invincible Jason, doesn’t appear until this far along in the franchise.  He has previously been kind of super human  (he popped that dude’s eyes outta his head), but in this one he is literally brought back to life by a lightning strike.  This movie is hilariously bad, but it’s bad in a fun way.  Like how “The Room” is bad.

4. Friday the 13th (Part 1)
• It’s a pretty good twist that the killer was an old lady the whole time, I suppose.  It’s hard to beat a young Kevin Bacon getting stabbed through the neck with an arrow.  Classic kill.

5. Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning
• SPOILER ALERT YOU GUYS!!!!!
Jason isn’t actually the killer in this one.  It’s some random character that is on screen once and it’s the dumbest whodunnit everrrrrrr.  His mask has small blue dots on it, so that’s how you totally shoulda known it wasn’t really Jason you guys.  It’s still fairly entertaining in spite of this.

6. Friday the 13th Part 2
• I’ve always found this movie to be mostly forgettable.  It’s the debut as Jason as the killer, but he’s pretty laughable because he wears a sack over his head with a single eye hole cut out.  This is also the movie where he is the most human as far as strength goes.

7. Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
• This movie is straight butt.  The main character is psychic and I hate it.  The ONLY reason it’s not in last place is because it features the single most amazing kill in the entire franchise….. Jason snags a gal while she’s in a sleeping bag and kills her by slamming it against a tree.  Delightful.

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
• Somehow a boat on Crystal Lake floats all the way to Manhattan.  It’s so fucking stupid.  The movie is only in Manhattan for about 15 minutes, which is kind of funny.  Not much else to say about it.

Capitalism is the best economic model for increasing quality of life for lower/middle classes.

Note: capitalism isn't possible when the entire economy is controlled by a central bank + government at the helm of the money-printer, so it's weird they keep blaming things on the "capitalism" we don't even have in the first place 🤔🤔

“Privileges come at the expense of others, but achievements add to the benefits of others.”

-Thomas Sowell
Basic Economics


I prefer the top load style with an agitator.  Just bought a Maytag that has been great so far, but it’s only been about 6 months.  I had a front load Samsung and the drum constantly came loose and got extremely loud, then broke.  Also, the front load ones tend to get water caught in the rubber that stinks unless you leave the door open to let it dry out after every use.  That’s a problem I’ve never had with the top load style.


My dad’s chicken wing recipe

-Season the wings with salt,smoked paprika, cayenne, onion powder and garlic powder (or your favorite bbq rub) and let chill in fridge overnight.

-Empty a bottle of Maul’s with onion bits bbq sauce (or your favorite bbq sauce) into a pot, leaving just a bit of the bbq sauce in the bottle.  Add a splash of water to the sauce left in the bottle and shake.  Dump this watery sauce mixture over the wings that have been in fridge overnight.

-In the pot with your bbq sauce, add dried onion flakes, liquid smoke and El Yucatán hot sauce (or your favorite hot sauce) and simmer on low heat while you grill the wings.

-Take your wings that have been basted in the watery bbq sauce and grill them (both sides) at a super high temperature.  You want them to look almost burnt, which the watery sauce helps achieve.(see pic 1). Don’t worry about cooking them through, just pay attention to how charred they get.

-Remove from grill, cut them, add to a crockpot.  Dump your bbq sauce that has been simmering into crockpot and mix it all up(pic 2).  Cook on low for 2 hours and they’re good to go(pic 3)!

What kinda soup?


Whack a mole for the next generation!


I was listening to the “How Did This Get Made” episode of this movie.  They mention that someone, somehow connected to this prop or idea or whatever, tried to give an explanation.  The explanation was dumber than I could have ever imagined in my many years as a child watching this movie and wondering this exact thing.  Dude said you somehow use 2 of the shells to spread your cheeks and the third to scoop/ clean.  Such disappointment.


What you’re forgetting is that we aren’t at war with Eastasia, we are at war with Eurasia.  We’ve actually always been at war with Eurasia and never with Eastasia.  Eastasia has always been and always will be our ally!


The pumping will continue until morale improves.


“How many bitcoins do you have?”


The sky was looking ominous so I asked Siri, “Surely, it’s not going to rain today?”

And she replied, “Yes it is, and don’t call me Shirley.”

That was when I realized I’d left my phone on Airplane mode.


The truth will win…. Eventually


Is this from today?  Nobody saw this coming?!  Have they not been reading about the trial?!?!?!?


Good morning ☕

Price is cool and all. But the best thing about Bitcoin is that the more you learn about it, the less interesting price becomes. Study Bitcoin. https://image.nostr.build/195956ae30dab6f895e75118b4eb6d00946c5b406b87c2b52d64b4fbdc683a76.jpg

This is just the worst fucking business decision on so many levels.  This dude actually thought this was a talking point that would go over well?!?!  Did they talk about this strategy in a board meeting?!?
Is it from the marketing department?!?  Did this guy just wing it during the interview?!?  This makes me think I should get back into my degen swing trading days and load up on some Kelloggs puts!!!😂😂😂


What am I supposed to eat at the state fair?!?!  Vegetables?!?

I love to listen to nostr:npub1hxwmegqcfgevu4vsfjex0v3wgdyz8jtlgx8ndkh46t0lphtmtsnsuf40pf on podcasts.  Mainly because I always learn so much…. But also because he sounds exactly like the hippie teacher from Beavis and Butthead.


good day to judge some chilli!

I’m no expert, but I don’t think it is for most people.  It depends on a lot of things like your electrical rate, what miner you’re using, etc….
I’d still recommend it for learning purposes, and bc it’s fun!


single mining is like playing the lottery.  the odds are against you, but if you get lucky you keep the entire coinbase reward and all fees.  pool mining means the pool will pay you your share based on how much computing power you contribute.  different pools have different payment schemes. most miners point their hash towards pools.


basil > cilantro and


why does it say "opinion?"🤔


"it's just an accounting ledger."
"so you trust it more than an Oracle database?"

just kinda has the feel of the church laughing at the invention of the printing press


bitcoin's transparency can't compete with fiat's!!🤡

Those who attempt to copy bitcoin are our modern-day alchemists.

Just finished "Inventing Bitcoin" by nostr:npub1fqn4fgzkk8nm2x3wd600n935c9tc7xgg9jhk5dfa0kuvrgvsyv7sgu536l .  Now reading "Gradually, Then Suddenly" by nostr:npub1w69ya7xs697hk3hky3gllryz8rwverfa0ylz89chf9qnhfcskc2s64zltw .  These, alongside "Broken Money" by nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a have been EXCELLENT reads.  We are fortunate to have great resources like these to expand our knowledge on money.


this is exactly the kind of political commentary i've been looking for!


Does anyone remember the blood code?  That was the main reason I wanted a Sega over Super Nintendo.  Ahhh, the priorities of a 10 yr old 😂


...to take over as Bitcoin  CEO?

Is he really this clueless about bitcoin?  or is this an act???  I'm torn.

we use our

"do bitcoin"


how do  you cook it?  sear it and finish in the oven?


I love robosats!  We need as many places to trade as possible, so I try to support these p2p exchanges.


Most people don’t even know what an ETF is. And they definitely don’t know that there is now a bitcoin ETF. This is just another bridge being built from one ledger to the other on a long march to a better money.


are you sure?  because I saw some lady on the news say it was a perfect example of why Bitcoin is the preferred money of criminals worldwide.


sounds like something a cult leader would say


Great episode!  I'm going to once again try to explain mining to my family thanks to this!😂


She wants the same banks she rallied against to be the only option people have when it comes to their finances.  I wish the general population saw through all this nonsense.  Bitcoin adoption would be so much quicker!

Robinhood just abruptly cancelled my gold membership, and basically told me to get all my money out because they can “no longer support my account.”  No more info will be provided and the decision is final.
