Good morning Bitcoinland. Still over the veggie line... currently $9106USD/$12488CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Isn't it about time we started going up? Why do so many people in here have hats as their avatar

One thing I love about life is that there's always something new to experience or learn about.
All my life I pictured dust storms as localized surface phenomena. Now we're in day 3 here of what's been called the worst Saharan dust plume in 50 years.
If you look upward what you see are fluffy white clouds against a gray sky. Normally gray skies mean gray clouds, but in this case it's the normally blue sky itself that's gray.
Weird, but awesome.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Yet another day stuck in the $9xxx range... currently $9245USD/$12608CAD (Bitcoinaverage). At least the vegetable support line continued to hold after another test. Come on Bitcoin. Up please. ..... by supressing farts too hard. ....
My dear old late Dad, after being admonished by Mom at the dinner table for lifting a cheek, would invariably answer.... "Where e'er ye be , let thy wind go free...." (This pearl of wisdom especially applies during the recitation of the lord's prayer at Sunday mass. ...usually gets a couple of snickers from the bored ones....) As we used to say as kids: fart in church and blame it on the angels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiZPqTfCBis |

You are getting alot of use outta this one lately.  Actually, I thought that was only the 2nd time I posted that here. I try to keep track. I'm pretty sure I've also posted my crybaby Trump blaming China, and my Greta Doge Snowflake.  |

Some like Proudhon or Kwuckduck can be absolutely hilarious.
The funniest thing is that Proudhon is not actually a real troll, he's an account owned by an OG permabull that ironically posts as a bear troll to amuse himself. The wink-wink giveaway is that his troll posts are always dripping with sarcasm. I lol every time newbie bulls here jump all over his troll posts, so gullible. They don't even realize that they are being punked. How true. That's why I find him hilarious. I sometimes wondered if Kwuckie was the same. He was just too much of a caricature to be taken seriously. |

Good morning Bitcoinland. Nothing new. Still bouncing along in the $9xxx range... currently $9396USD/$12745CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Up a little yesterday, down a little today. Tomorrow? Who knows? (not the noobs with their TA charts who think they have it all figured out.) The Bitcoin roller coaster at its finest. trololol
What an absolute douche. Ignored. People finally starting to see R0ach 2.0 Rude. Meh, you're aiming for this kind of attention... Gee, do ya really think so?  Trolls will be trolls. I don't usually put them on ignore though, just the more obnoxious ones like Matthecat or Notlambchop. Most I simply treat as a source of amusement. Some like Proudhon or Kwuckduck can be absolutely hilarious. Most of our resident neo-McCarthyist's rants are fairly harmless and mildly humorous but this one crosses the line. He's obviously an infantile attention seeker, unhappy with his own life, looking for someone to blame. And the welfare state was instituted by Boomers. You really are the worst generation.

The fucking guy didn’t even pay for the forum software he used to promote his new money. Instead he used SMF freeware!

Even more importantly, we do not hide out face in western cultures. Leave that to the muslims. Masks are an overall bad idea.
And hoodies. Ban hoodies. Never liked em. They seem very slumlordy. Sure. Except of course for practical reasons like lung or cold weather protection. Then why suggest it? You horrible person. Can't have surgeons hiding their faces during operations. Good thing they wear name tags. Maybe we should microchip them too for positive identification. |

Believe in the virus or don't, but you can't not believe in it, and at the same time believe some tea is preventing people from catching it !
Placebo effect is a powerful force. It works both ways. It can increase hypochondria and also cure it. |

Good morning Bitcoinland. Up a bit yesterday and holding... currently $9649USD/$13022CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Still firmly entrenched in the $9xxx rut. Or is it a groove? Go Bitcoin go. friday? whats that.
ooooh yeah a day of the week. guess being retired has perks.
For decades now I've actually hated Fridays because you had to worry about getting shit done before everything closed. I love Mondays because everything gets back to normal. Even more importantly, we do not hide out face in western cultures. Leave that to the muslims. Masks are an overall bad idea.
And hoodies. Ban hoodies. Next we've gotta get rid of Betty Crocker and Mr. Clean. Damned anti-white racist stereotypes. Also sexist. Betty Crocker's "June Cleaver" housewife image is an affront to feminism while Mr. Clean makes a mockery of male-pattern baldness. They've gotta go. |

You really need to move to a place where herb is legal. It’s an awesome experience to walk into a store and choose to sample from a selection of some great Sativa, Indica or hybrid flowers. They sell handrolls at a shop near me that are nearly an 1/8th and only cost $20. I haven’t heard anyone talk about pinhead T in 40 years. You are old as fuck. LOL
Yep. I'm a child of the 1940s... old as fuck. My 44-year-old wife helps keep me young though. I don't have to move to a place where herb is legal. We're heading back to Toronto in a week and a half. We only came to Mexico to escape winter but ended up extending our stay this year because of Covid-19. We figured we'd be safer in our remote jungle village than traveling through international airports to downtown in a big city. Now it's starting to reach our area and meanwhile the numbers are going down in Toronto. It's time to fly back up. I don't generally use cannabis shops. Their quality is too low and their prices are too high for me. I'm spoiled. With over a half century's worth of connoisseur-grade connections, I get only the best. I still prefer Friesland Indica bud, greenhouse grown in The "Golden Triangle" south of Montreal, and Shirak-i-Mazar (jooshi garda) from Balkh northwest of Mazar i Sharif, Afghanistan. Yum. Can't get either at the legal shops. It's nice to see decriminalization and outright legalization happening in so many places though. Now average people can get good, clean product for a reasonable price without having to deal with sketchy people. It took many years and many of us had to take ridiculous chances and put up with a lot of BS, but we finally won out. We won the War on Drugs Pot. This is why I hold Bitcoin. When something is righteous, time is on your side. _____ Edit: I wouldn't mind winning the War on Drugs. Too many people die and have their lives screwed up by opioids, benzos, bad stimulants and other dangerous drugs. The answer is not illegality and prosecution though. It is education, availability, quality control and social pressure. Take it out of the hands of the criminals. |

I’ve tried it all but I’m old school and still think smoking flower is the way to go. I don’t even mind cotton mouth or coughing for 5 min because I held my breath too long. When I say old school I mean I’m fucking older than dirt. Currently my main pastime is looking up how many of my favorite entertainers are dead. I almost cried when David Bowie died. I saw him in concert over 30 times. I’m embarrassed to say how many times I’ve seen Rush perform and now Neil Peart is dead. No chance of a reunion concert for Rush now. LOL I smoked my first bud of Columbian gold in 1975 while watching Chevy Chase on SNL. I bet I made hash brownies before you were born. Extracts are fine and most of the peeps I know vape but it’s not for me.
Older than dirt? What does that make me? You reminisce about Bowie and Rush concerts. For me it was the Beatles and early Grateful dead.  I agree about bud, mostly. My only exception is high-quality hashish. I don't mean some lame Nederhash or bubble hash made from high-THC hydroponic buds. I mean hand-rubbed Nepalese, Kashmiri, or Indian or heat-processed sifted Afghani (preferably Mazar-i-sharif) or Lebanese (Beqaa Valley) from landrace plants, with enough CBD to balance out the THC and give a nice relaxing, happy high. I can even enjoy a better-grade Jamaican gum. Coughing for 5 minutes? I agree. You've gotta cough to get off. My days of pipes, bongs, vapes, bottle tokes and hot knives are definitely over. I prefer a well-rolled single-paper joint. Weed should be medium chopped with scissors. Budbusters suck. Hash should be lightly heated and crumbled with a small amount of the mildest tobacco. I quit smoking cigarettes 35 years ago but I didn't stop using a little tobacco in my hash doobs. I don't like eating weed or hash. It makes me sleepy and it's easy to miscalculate doses. The only thing I eat is CBD oil (THC-free) which I use sub-lingually in Mexico to keep my CBD levels up. Cannabis is still illegal here but I can legally buy imported CBD oil. Back in the day, I used to love the acetylated isomerized honey oil that made you close to psychotic on a pinhead-sized droplet. Now I've put that behind me just like milligram acid doses or peyote doses measured in ounces. Time moves on. |

Good morning Bitcoinland. Still going sideways... currently $9482USD/$12866CAD (Bitcoinaverage). 5 digits is still elusive but at least we're still over the veggie line. Go Bitcoin go. Darwin Awards? Lawl?
No! Spreading disease is
No laughing matter.
Both sides doing it Jimbo. Spreading disease is bipartisan. I wasn't talking about partisan politics. I was talking about Donald Trump and the sort of people who support him personally. You look at groups of anti-brutality protesters and you see the majority wearing masks. In one image of Trump rally attendees, I counted 71 people and only 2 were wearing masks. It has nothing to do with believing in fiscal responsibility vs government services or military spending vs healthcare. It has to do with supporting an arrogant, ruthless, bigoted, narcissistic bully. |

W0w Those attending the rally had to sign a waiver protecting the Trump campaign from responsibility for any illness. Hours before the event began, officials said six staff members involved in organizing the rally had tested positive. Trump supporters are Not exactly the brightest Nor the most careful. Darwin Awards? Lawl? No! Spreading disease is No laughing matter. |

Good morning Bitcoinland. Still sideways... currently $9351USD/$12727CAD (Bitcoinaverage). More coffee please. I tried to get tested by signing up online, I was disqualified
because I was not a public health worker, firefighter, police officer and I did not show symptoms.
Wtf? I would have thought being asymptomatic is reason to get tested to make sure you are not unknowingly spreading it.
If I had symptoms I wouldn't bother getting tested as I'd just assume I had it and take appropriate measures.
Anyway I did a routine doctor visit for something unrelated. and guess what ? I got tested..... Negative.
Donald Trump has made it clear that he thinks testing makes him look bad... fewer tests, fewer positive results. Luckily, we don't have that problem in Toronto. There are testing centers in just about every neighborhood that test temperature, blood pressure, blood oxygen readings, etc., and take a nasal swab for analysis. You can check your results online. I will be going as soon as I arrive, mandatory 14-day self-isolation rules allowing. I've already emailed my respirologist (COPD) about more comprehensive blood testing for antibodies. I suspect I may have already had it last winter. I spent a fair bit of time in crowded tourist bars and public transportation and developed extreme flu-like symptoms. I was forced to self-medicate with prednisone twice (1 8x5mg dose daily for 5 days) within a period of about 5 weeks to be able to breathe. Maybe it was just an especially nasty flu but I'd like to know for sure. Am I a carrier? Am I immune? I was not asymptomatic. 83 year old Some people think anyone over 30 is a boomer. Edit: And some people think anyone under 50 is a snowflake. |

Thats what the smart gambler does.
Isn't that an oxymoron? Nope. Gambling is all about probability. So pick the probabilities you like. If the odds are in your favor it really isn't gambling. I don't gamble but I used to earn a little money playing pool. Afaik, smart gambling is counting cards and it's the only way to beat the house odds (besides cheating), and Vegas knows every one of 'em. (card counters)
The casino kicks 'em out as soon as the facial recognition app warns they are on the premises.
That's why what the casinos do isn't gambling. They're running a business. The odds stacked are in their favor. They don't need to compete with card counters who are basically other businesses. |
