I guess I will show my age on this one. I never (ever) understood the allure of Starbucks. At the time every cheap diner in America was selling coffee for 25 cents a cup with unlimited refills. How on earth the business plan to sell at $2.50 a cup from the most expensive real estate in every city got funded I will never understand.
Probably not. I didn’t read your report carefully enough. Not gentle, tender pain. Sit up in bed, middle of the night screaming pain. As we age, we need medical attention more than we would like to admit. Like high mileage used cars.
Somehow I got logged out of Nostr. And I got logged back in (obviously).
But my desktop and laptop browser is not connecting my alby wallet to my Nostr id.
Any ideas?
Well . . . for myself I was training for a big hike and gradually over a course of two weeks or ten days feeling worse and worse. I thought it was over/under training. Finally, I felt so bad that I tested. Positive. Then I iso'd for TH, FR, SA and didn't feel fully better but a lot better and tested negative on SU.
Although I have never tried it, I have been fascinated by the idea for the past 40 years, since I first encountered the concept. But in the end, I suspect it would itself turn into a food "industry" which is what I suspect is at the core of the complaint.
I am reminded of the Jimmy Kimmel Father’s Day episode where they asked (allegedly) random guys walking Hollywood Boulevard “What are your kids’ birthdays”?
Not a high success rate.
Here's what worked for me:
Peter told me "smoke and don't feel guilty." Followed this path for another year, year and a half.
Peter again said this quip, "I noticed that when I wanted a smoke, if I lit up, the desire to smoke went away. But the I discovered that when I wanted a smoke and didn't light up, the desire to smoke went away."
Finally, one Memorial Day weekend, many years ago a friend claimed he was quitting so I chimed in, "OK. I'm in." My mind tried to tell me, "If you don't smoke, you're gonna die." Ok, I thought, I'll die then.
Phase I, physical addiction, lasted about 3-7 days. Phase II, behavioral addiction, lasted around 6 months to a year. Phase III continues 35+ years later.
It's not easy, but it is possible.
You have a bit more klout than a retired pleb like me. But it is generally good advice, especially as applied to people that do look up to you such as your kids, friends, mentees, etc.
I think he doesn’t mean shouldn’t as a normative/ethical matter. He means that based on his experience with Twitter, he would say it creates fatal, or at least difficult, problems.
You have absolutely GOT to bring spreads in. $500 per coin slippage both ways is not acceptable. I realize that I am going to pay something for services somewhere. But wide spreads are almost as immoral as inflation.
We watched all of Season 1. Mrs. loved it. Made 20 minutes of season 2. Although others loved it.
Has only the title and some character names in common with Asimov’s work. None of the story, unless you count the use of the term Psychohistory as a common thread.
It's really as simple as: if you want to be an asset that has considerable value compared to US Dollars -- either go it alone (that is without US Dollar investment) or follow the same rules (CSAM bars, AML, KYC and sanctions) as USD.
Not sure which path is best right now. But that's only because I generally follow USD regulations as currently crafted. However, remember I was introduced to bitcoin because of anti-poker legislation in the US.
Eventually, yes we won't care about USD convertibility.
