There is an old saying in economics: "There is no such thing as a free lunch," with the acronym TINSTAAFL. Although Hivebits (HBIT) might seem "free", everything has a cost to it that is... read original post in full:

I gotta say, I really appreciate the v4v app at https://4v4.app I can write, earn, then either hodl or spend, either as HIVE, HBD (called HUSD here), or auto-convert and spend as #bitcoin sats.

This morning a radio personality was talking about George Jefferson. I thought about 70s sitcoms and wondered, for some reason,... Who would win in a fight between George Jefferson and Fred Sanford? Image source:

#ToughDecision If you HAD to invite one of the following to dinner, who would it be: George Jefferson, Fred Sanford, or Archie Bunker?

Kind of pleased with how this graph of #bitcoin sats-to-cents or pennies came out.

Satoshi Day - Satoshi Bitcoin Converter

That's a pretty resounding Yea vote by Texas for #bitcoin (105 to 23). Next stop, the governor's desk.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Texas passes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill in second reading.

I can't decide which idea is the more insane: A. World (formerly Worldcoin) will scan your retina to prove you're human, then hope to use AI to make everything more efficient and productive to the point that the AI agents/bots/robots will agree to work for and reward us humans with UBI (universal basic income) for doing nothing except being biological. B. Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and how it suggests that governments can simply print or coin money infinitely, and yet the money still retains value despite the infinite printing. Then, it can therefore be used to provide UBI for people.

This "artwork" thing appeared at an intersection that I pass by each day. Looks voodoo-ish and a bit creepy with its hollow head.

Since we can't stop talking bitcoin/sats/bits, let's walk a ways farther and pursue this further... I'd never heard the term "naks" before but recently someine used it while talking sats. I like it. The notion that we might need to subdivide sats one day (and, spoiler alert, it will stay as "sats") has occurred to me before. I guess I thought we'd come up with some type of an L2 solution by the time we need that. Or, maybe some type of BitVM solution might be viable if we ever un-ossify. Lots of discussion will take place in the meanwhile, no doubt. Get popcorn to discuss corn. 🍿 🌽

By sheer chance I saw someone asking about a pickled red cabbage recipe. I don't have one, but it made me dig up my cooked red cabbage recipe...so delicious. Also reminded me of

which I need to revisit more often.

I've been wracking my brain today, in the background, over this Mexican ship situation. It initially made no sense at all how this could happen, my thinking was that something would gel in my mind and some semblance of a reason would congeal. But no. It makes less sense now than before. The only possible things that I can figure is that the captain simply didn't know the height difference, or the tug operator didn't if it was being hauled, or it was on purpose by someone. Any of those options are horrible. The only possible "accident" theory I can image, though I can't believe it, is that it was being towed and wind/tide pushed and pulled it. The "didn't know" and "accident" theories seem unbelievable to me. Am I missing another option?

Listened to a sermon titled "Jesus Wins" this am. It was about the book Revelation. I'd heard that two word summary of Revelation before, but today it reminded me of another short Bible book summary: Jesus is better, as a summary for the book of Hebrews. I thought...I should come up with a few-word summary for each book. It would be a good exercise for me, and a real test! I could easily have AI do it, but muscles don't strengthen by having AI do the lifting. I'll make my few-word summary a summer goal.

The annual, manual, pen and paper summer calendar is taking shape. Always feel FOMO if I don't plan it out.

I don't know about other folks, but this time of the year I get a nagging urge to draw up a calendar for the summer...an actual, pen and paper calendar. For some reason I feel the need to plan things out to get the most out of the summer days. I don't get this feeling any other time of the year, but I'm about to get out paper right now.

I'm not a fan of the language they use (I get it, humor, but still), however I'm a big fan of what these websites are all about: - Original:

Motherfucking Website

Just fucking use HTML

Stop reinventing the wheel. The web was doing just fine before your bloated frameworks crawled out of the sewer.

I'm so much of a fan that I made my own version and one which I actually use fairly often as a framework to display simple pages like my "home page": - my version:

Of my 4 Preakness picks, 3 were the top 3 finishers. Funny thing is, I said that if I was to bet, it would have been on Pay Billy who finished 7th! Even picking the top 3, I still would have lost! Proof of picks:
