My first "notebook" as a nomad was a Chromebook, and it is usable when WiFi is available. I ended up giving it to my partner though, as it really is very limited. You can run it under Ubuntu, but it is not as good as the HP netbook I bought. This came with Windows 10, but I wiped that and installed Ubuntu, and it works well. It was also slightly cheapen that the Chromebook. The main problem with both of them was/is the inability to change the hard drive or increase the memory. The notebook I have is a Core i5, and is probably powerful enough for web site maintenance, and most of the other things I do at the moment.
I'll try a bit of video editing, and based on my experiences, I'll probably decide on an improved system in the future. Linux Mint with Cinnamon looked like a good replacement for Windows 10, but I haven't started to use it yet.

I've just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqDd7ixh184&t=1362sI can appreciate that people with impaired immune systems, and who contract the virus, may need medical aid to recover. This beta interferon treatment seems to be a possible way forward, but I'm a bit undecided at the moment. What do you guys think? Please convince me that it is a good idea.

I'm a cynic. I suspect they are doing it because they believe the heirs won't understand Bitcoin, so when granny dies, nobody will claim the funds.
Note - I have no justification for that belief, just an understanding of some current investment and banking practices.

Modern day slavery seems to be as rife as it ever was, and it makes one wonder why all the dick heads that are pulling down historic monuments and statues are doing it. It almost appears that they want to conceal the concept for the benefit of the modern day slavers. Of course they are funded by the Anglophile Empire, so they don't want to do anything that decreases their profits.

I'm taking advantage of the good weather to clear dome of the detritus from my past. It isn't making much money for me, but it is making me feel a lot happier and independent. I think I'm going to commit to a full time life as a digital nomad as well, and I might start a thread about that. Internet connectivity and power sources are a big part of such a life, and I've learn a lot over the past months. The first step is a new battery for the notebook, and I've just spent nearly £40 on a new Ninja Pro. That's half the price of an HP original, and it seens to offer a bit more power. It has some good reviews as well, and I liked the fact that it uses Samsung cells. If I am happy with it, I might try to repair the old battery.
The HP netbook is great since I installed Ubuntu on it, but the disk and screen are a bit small, and it isn't easy to upgrade. The notebook has a spare memory slot, so I can double the ram, and I have already bought an SSD to use instead of the HDD with Windows 10 on it. I will probably switch to the new Linus Mint with Cinnamon, so I would welcome any comments about that. This will return to being my main computer.
Long term, I think the answer is a Raspberry Pi with solar power, but that is a few months away.

The virus is a fairly low risk epidemic compared with some from the past. The problems all stem from the way it is being used to accelerate wealth transfer and population reduction. Most government actions are designed to increase mortality and people's natural immunity, rather than reduce it. There will never be a vaccine that is as effective as a healthy immune system, and this is implied in most of the reports. It is complete madness to destroy national economies by funding research that will never result in a beneficial product. The best way to improve world health is to reduce the massive use and investment in pharmaceuticals.
It's time to stop the lying, and try to rebuild family values and wealth.

It depends why the chicken expired. If it was diseased, and then chlorinated, then I wouldn't eat it under any circumstances. In the past I've hung road kill pheasant until the maggots arrive, and they banged off the maggots, and cooked it. That is the way you get the true rich game flavour. I'm not sure that is advisable with most modern farm reared chickens though.

This comment was made by a subscriber in the Ivan on Tech chat. It is something that hadn't occurred to me, but I think there is a certain amount of truth in it. The three signatories are you. the bank and the government, and in these days of toxic debt, bank fraud, and profligate governments, people are starting to seek alternatives, and to lose confidence in most national currencies. Of course I am referring to the virtual deposits in fiat that are recorded by the banks. What do you guys think of this opinion, and do you think that banks are trying to cut out the governments as signatories in the alt currencies they are trying to create at the moment. I miss typed "most" as "mist" in the phrase "mist local currencies", and I was tempted to leave it. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

We need an app to detect suspicious of illicit activities by the military and governments. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

There is more and most data being released about this so-called pandemic, and it is becoming apparent how badly we have been misled. Yes, it is highly infectious, but it doesn't seem to be very dangerous, except for the few who have flaky health due to lifestyle or as victims of the pharmaceutical industry. It seems to have been carefully orchestrated by the bankers and big pharma, and it will be interesting to see if increasing public awareness of the CV scam will turn people away from the pharmaceutical and vaccination frauds. Lets hope it does.
Will they try to impose another lockdown when the second wave hits those who were unwise enough to avoid gaining immunity during the healthy summer months. I certainly hope that public opinion prevents this. Then their is the insane vaccination issue, Billions of pounds, dollars and euros are being spent on this useless exercise. Money is being given to organisations who have never produced any commercial products, are developing their products from artificial organisms rather than the real thing, and bypassing normal testing procedures. I think I would rather go to prison that let them inject such poisonous products into me.

Bitcoin is not a currency, it is money. This is an important distinction. It is the only hard virtual asset in crypto, and because of this it is essential in the modern digital world. Its decentralisation and availability for everyone helps protect wealth in times of changing government policies and even governments. It also helps to protect us from the banking elite who are determined to pursue their goal of globalisation.

Thanks again to everybody for the kind words in this thread. >..<
Bitcoin and a persons age is an interesting topic, and maybe I should put together some thoughts about it for the over 70s. You can't just look at chronological age, but have to consider mental and biological age as well. Then there are the health issues, and financial status. I have a friend in her 90s, and she has a spare £50,000 in cash in the bank, and she is not sure what to do with it. She was going to give it to a donkey sanctuary, but I have discouraged her from that. In fact Bitcoin could be an interesting intellectual stimulus for her, and a way for her to gain some computer knowledge, but she is unlikely to want to spend the time, and would rather read about old naval and military battles. I suggested gold Britannias, bur she considers gold to be too speculative. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) An interest in Bitcoin has been good for me, as it has helped me to understand the concept of hard virtual assets, and it seems that most people in crypto don't really understand why Bitcoin is the only hard virtual asset in crypto. It is a hard asset because it is not centralised, and is not dependent solely on its utility for its value.

Franky please stop posting crap about my posts. I think certificates are rubbish, and shouldn't be sold. My point was that a corona free person is just an infection waiting to happen, and nothing to do with certificates.
I have never stated that Corona viruses are not real, and in fact they have been around for decades in various forms. The reason this one is different is more to do with the economies that have been destroyed by the central banks, and the need for an excuse for an economic reset than any major risk from a virus that doesn't rank that highly on the severity scale. The real pandemics are insulin resistance, debt slavery and drug dependence, and not another virus to add to the many for which we already have immunity. All causes deaths are the same or reduced, so the virus can't really be that significant.
You don't do yourself any favours by pushing vaccines at a time when more and more people are reading the unbiased and often suppressed evidence that they are poisonous and damage natural immunity. If you can't accept this, then reflect on the current practice of vaccinating babies before they have had a chance to build an immune system to combat the disease that is injected into them. I think that is criminal, and any so-called doctor who does it should be locked up.

I understand that the virus only lasts about 5 minutes on copper sheet or an unsanitised human hand.

Corona free means that you haven't been infected and are vulnerable. Corona immune is far more significant.

I have seen many people wear face mask because it is mandatory to wear it as per the laws of the country. They wear it below their chins just to show that they are wearing a mask.
That is probably healthier than reinfecting themselves by rebreathing their virus laden exhaled air.

even people with strong immune systems and people that know about health still suffer take the doctors in the ICU. its their speciality they know about infections they know about immunity. but they get sick too
I have commented several times that health care worked can be exposed to viral overloads, and this is a good reason for them to take protective measures. I have also pointed out that many doctors seem to believe in the propaganda pushed on them by the Pharma industry, and this weakens their immunity. Dr John Campbell is one example. He is pro vaccination, statins and other medication, and he reports that he often suffers from viral infections. In fact he has recently published a video which I found interesting, and it discusses memory T-cells, and on reflection, it seems to validate many of my opinions, but he has given the results a spin that is contrarian. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WLrjJ90rQgAnother problem with care worker stats is that many of them come from the BAME community, and/or smoke and are obese. You can verify this by observation, and you don't need manipulated stats. There is also a high probability that they have regular vaccination, and are frequent users of pharmaceuticals - all of these factors are know to disrupt the immune system, and leave people vulnerable. My main point is that the vast majority of the population have a strong immunity to virus that has been given to them by nature. No man made drugs or vaccines have any chance of improving on this. Now id the time when immunity is at its strongest, so lets do all we can to let as many people as possible gain natural immunity, and then we can get on with life and try to handle the real economic problems that beset the world. The increase in viral load is also an argument against the wearing of mass produced face masks.
