We don’t have it as bad as Alberta, but still a respectable -14 degrees here on Canada’s West Coast and we’re running some supplemental heat. How I wish this thing was mining #Bitcoin. What a waste of 1500W! One day, @Schnitzel, one day..

Uranium on an absolute tear this year. World coming to its collective energy senses (plus various geopolitical factors at play). If TA is your thing, enormous decade-long cup and handle breakout on deck. #energy #nuclear #trading

“The Gzilt ship dwarfed the alien one; it looked like a thousand dark broadswords gathered into a god’s fist and brandished at the skies.” - Goodness I miss Iain Banks.

France has thankfully seen enough of the trainwreck over the border to declare common sense must prevail. Coincidentally, long $URA calls. #uranium #nuclear #trading

Anyone have a suggested next move as black?

Started the exercise thing a month early to see if I could stick it, so far so good! Yes yes, I know Apple are the evil empire but I respond well to stats, so it is what it is. How are your lifestyle improvements doing? Days exercising: 35 Days intermittent fasting: 4 Days without chewing nails: 2 Last year’s wins that stuck included trading margarine for proper butter and increasing my beef intake.

Long some $SQ calls. Last Feb 75s @ 1.22. Feel enough air has been let out of the tires here.

My elder kid wants a share of Tesla for his birthday, I may buy him one in trust and also give him the equivalent BTC on a Satscard, maybe also the equivalent in silver coinage to be held for a few years as an instructive education about asset classes. No point in giving him any dollars, really!

There is a tendency to make perfect the enemy of the good and see controlled opposition everywhere but goodness, I enjoy listening to Vivek, Elon, Pierre putting that woke bullshit down and even if it is all part of the pantomime, I’d rather have a seat in that one than the one we’ve been sat in for the past few years.

WAPO reporter doubles down: You didn’t say that you condemn white supremacy though. She immediately regrets it. @VivekGRamaswamy isn’t going ...

Yes, yes, Aliens and Terminator 2, however I feel a superior sequel often overlooked is Planes 2: Fire and Rescue. I admit it helps that my kid asks for “the Thunderstruck movie” (even if he thinks the song is about Thunder Trucks).

Seeing pregnant ladies and couples with young infants makes me irrationally happy these days; if it wasn’t wildly inappropriate I’d want to high-five every one. I mean I love kids anyway, wish I’d had more myself, but every single new soul is a resounding GFY to the extinctionists who are just *relentless*; there’s nothing more important in this world.

I hate myself for playing along, but just sat down to watch “Leave the world behind” to see what the Buglords have in store for us next.

Excellent Grant Williams podcast with Doomberg this week. The green chicken has been doing the Lord’s work on energy for a long, long time - good section on current Hydrogen lunacies in this discussion.

Sheesh I was that close to buying a #bitkey but can’t proceed without entering my phone number, ffs. You do not need my phone number.

Help: how do you square the circle of family education about Bitcoin and opsec? I have kids who I feel I really should be furnishing with hardware wallets and some sats as part of their financial education. Yet, kids have friends. Friends have siblings, family, other friends. Statistically speaking some of these will be Globalist bugmen, headed for a life of petty crime, etc. Do you accept these risks as necessary or stack privately in trust for when they’re all older and out of the house?

One of those voices I wish was on #nostr. I’ve been a huge fan since discovering Mr. Kirn late, courtesy of his 2021 essay on modern media titled simply “The Bullshit” (worth looking up). Spot on, as is often the case.

“The idea of creating a digital pound should not even be considered until the UK government and Bank of England address concerns over data privacy and the increased risk of bank runs, a parliamentary committee has warned” - could have stopped after the word “considered”

36hr fast to start each month (dinner day one to breakfast day three). Tradition now holds that the fast-breaking is with homemade pancakes, and this weekend it was just me and the three-year old helper, which is always enjoyable. Nice colours in this one, but others were in the shape of a star, and a dinosaur. #foodstr
