I'd like to see some research on the countries that have managed to thwart color revolutions. What actually worked. Listening to podcast with Belarus "journalist". Not saying their gov is great, but she's tripping all my alarms.

Lending in bitcoin. Since only 21 million will be made, and some of it will be lost, wouldn't it made sense to lend with regard to buying power? Target, say 5% increase in buying power, not specific amount of bitcoin. If bitcoin goes up, borrower has to return less. But if bitcoin goes down, borrower has to return more. Bootstrap the bitcoin economy, but there's hedging and a return for the lender. Seems like it would be better for the lender than those old coin fountains from back in the day.

It was a possum. It may be hurt. Theoretically I could grab it, but I don't want to get bit. Also don't want it to move further away, especially if it is going to die or something. I'm going to have to get some gear. I hope they are like cats where they are calm if you can grab them by the scuff of their neck.

The conspiracy to deprive me of sleep culminated in guys cutting the grass next door at 7:30am. Probably should have gone to the gym, but I've only had like 3hrs of sleep after that possum or whatever tried to invade my home.

Something that seemed ridiculously large seemed to think getting under my tub was a good idea. It sounded like it had a fight with something else, which is what alerted me to it's existence. I only had a few things on hand to attempt to dissuade it- wood vinegar, peppermint oil, banging on various parts of my house to try and get it to go away. What seemed to work though- I took a shower. This was in part, inspired by the dastardly creature, because I certainly worked up a sweat trying to get it to leave. It made a sort of hissing noise and sounded dangerous, but after the shower, I haven't heard that sound again- even though I tried banging again. It either left, or decided to shut up. Hopefully, it didn't have fleas or anything contagious. #grownostr

If the rise of these mercenary private armies continues, and bitcoin becomes widely regarded as the best money, would there be a clientele shift? Would these private armies cease to contract with nations that pay them in rapidly devalued currency and contract with those who can pay them in bitcoin instead? Of course, historically, these periods in which mercenaries held great sway were somewhat chaotic. But in a sense, it is probably an intermediary step to a new re-ordering. The Westphalian project is falling apart. The only people who think they know what the new order will look like are the narcissistic globalists who think they can construct it to be what they want it to be.

If you are going to a doctor, and you can stand behind them as they fool with the computer, do so. The software is crap and too many people access it, resulting in errors. Just looking over their shoulder should result in you thinking this crap should be banned.

Do these phone alerts track you and tell you about severe storms where you are or do they stick to telling you about stuff near your home? #grownostr

My town is suffering from a power outage, and they are basically saying its going to take a long time. How long, I don't know. But finding a functioning gas station is iffy. And the first time I went to a grocery store, the lights were still off and we couldn't buy cold things. Seems like the falling apart of US is continuing apace. Hopefully ya'll are keeping up with your preps- preferably doing a little better than I did. #grownostr

Note to self: coffee.
