In Bitcoin you have two options: 1) Buy high, sell low 2) Buy high, buy low

Bitcoin is built on Proof Of Work. Government issued identification is Proof Of Jerk.

It turns out around 2020 "remote online notaries" were approved by state law. Most documents that are required by your state (with some exceptions) can be notarized online with services like proof.com View quoted note →

Some banks will not notarize a document unless you have an account, even if you are willing to pay

My dog was barking and growling at his bowl of turkey as if it were a mouse. Apparently he was confused.

We pulled off our first Thanksgiving on our own. Wife home made: * brined 16lb turkey * two homemade apple pies * turkey gravy * pumpkin bars * acorn squash * homemade stuffing from real bread (not dried soy foam) * homemade cranberries * mashed garlic potatos All I did was stuff the 24hr brined turkey with blanched apple, onion, herbs in cavity, put butter under skin, sew closed the cavity with butcher string, tie the legs and wings together, rub with olive oil, brown at 500F for 30 mins, then roast covered at 350F for 2 hrs, baste every 30 minutes, cook until core temp reached 160F, then uncover in oven for 20 minutes. Removed from oven and rested covered for 30 mins. 80% of drippings were used for gravy. Deboned, rested breast (meat side down) in drippings for 10 mins, sliced, served. It was very tender and moist, meat fell off the bone.

Happy Thanksgiving autists

Spent half the day tearing down my shark robo vacuum with the laser guidance rotor on the top. It has about 5 secret access points, and comes apart in about 10 layers, the hardest is getting the lid off the rotor. Mine was having trouble with the laser guidance rotor getting seized, the robot would just stop in its tracks and throw an error. I tried blowing it out while rotating it back and forth, it ran for a couple more hours then failed again. Turns out shark has a video recommending doing exactly that, but with a can of air. After finding my torx drivers and tearing down everything, desoldering the magnetic rotor coupler, using a heatgun in 3 places to remove parts glued together, I found out the drive motor is underpowered and has cheap bearings that sieze from moderate humidity. Apparently it's powered from a 3.3 volt supply and isn't speed controlled, based on first glance. I disassembled the rotor assembly and found a single hair stuck to the drive belt, where it should have been sealed. The rotor was off center. It rides on a 1.25" bearing screwed in place with 3 screws on the inner and 3 on the outer raceways, making it convenient to replace if you could find one. The motor is coupled to the rotor with a band under tension, which achieves an unpredictable torque requirement, particularly at low RPM. The tension on the motor is demanding on its cheap brass bearings, and the cheap steel shaft can rust. At these low RPMs and low torque, the design is only functional under ideal conditions. After full disassembly, cleaned the bearing and motor out with an air compressor, lubricated it with graphite/silicone spray, put it back together (centered this time) and now have it running on a bench supply to test if it will bind again after 12 hours. I don't know if these things are worth the trouble.
