Hi guys, how are you all doing.
Trying to buy gadgets from the US, but its getting harder and harder, a lot of sellers wont ship to Europe, have no idea why.
Be good.
Probably because in the US it is now becoming custom to just take what you want from shops. https://twitter.com/ClownWorld_/status/1641080741558878210---- On a serious note (not that the above isn't serious, I think it's a disgrace), in answer to your question, this probably helps: Regulations Hit Sellers Shipping to Europehttps://www.ecommercebytes.com/2022/06/07/regulations-hit-sellers-shipping-to-europe/Over regulation destroys everything. It is destroying and has destroyed banks. They are no longer liable for their actions since they are always bailed out and only big banks are allowed to survive. Starting a bank is now impossible thanks to regulations. Remember when that stupid cookie regulation came into effect and made the internet become one irritating place to browse websites? We need less regulation and more common sense such as more physical security in shops, schools and on the streets. “This law states that if you ship to German buyers, you’ll need to register your tax ID and information with LUCID Packaging Register, the German government database. If you don’t register you may face fines up to €200,000 and a prohibition in sales, and your goods could possibly be confiscated during delivery.”
Indeed with such regulations, why would an American company even bother selling to a poor assed European? What is the point? Why risk it? I used to upgrade mac minis from 2005 to 2013 At times I would get really good ram stick deals and sell some extra sticks on ebay. When I started I could send a small flat rate priority box to any country in the world for 13 usd tracking and 200 insurance. I could fit four sticks with ease. did fifty sales a year overseas. same deal now cost far more. international shipping fell apart under President Bush by 2010 price was double paper work a bitch. I stopped selling overseas for the most part. Didn't know about these regulations, did know about the shipping costs since I have done a lot of int'l buying. Lately I have had to ask a friend in the states to buy and send me stuff, but he passed away some months ago so now I don't really know how to buy stuff from the states if the seller won't ship overseas. Bummer.. |

Have the cold from hell
Taking thirteen aspirins
Going back to bed
Actually I only took two, but I needed two syllables.
See you when I wake up.

Do these guys work for the post office? The steering wheel is on the wrong side. |

I'm probably wrong but this stupid Chinese balloon story has many hallmarks of a media psy-op for distraction It's a convenient distraction from Ukraine losing against the Russian invasion (certainly in the east) and probably going to be in a terrible bargaining position later this year thanks to the help of the USA, NATO and Boris Johnson. They will be lucky if they keep everything west of the Dnieper river. Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea ain't ever coming back, that's for sure. Plus the fact certain forces in the USA recently even said they think they will be at war with China in a few years. What a coincidence! China can put countless satellites in space, monitoring whatever the USA is doing and even make all the iPhones sold in the USA, but a balloon?! A balloon?! Yep, THAT's not acceptable!  You don't seem to realize that Ukraine is still winning, I think you should call that wake up call woman. |

 Stockholm stock exchange up 7,54% this year, my BTC cerificates up 29,42% could it be a decoupling? pretty nice anyway and a bit surprising that that stocks are up so much, thought they would be at least going sideways considering. |

I see bitcoin gone up a little, as expected after the obligatory bear year, not much to talk about really.
But this is, Sweden is finally sending Archer and CV 90 (and some other goodies) to Ukraine!!!! I really do hope Gripen is in the next package.
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
And, yes, Ukraine is still winning if anybody thought otherwise.

I realise he is a bit of a dinosaur, especially when it comes to BTC vs gold, but I am enjoying listening to Peter Schiff's massively increased bloated government attacks over the last year. He pointed out that 40-50-60 years ago it was quite easy for most men to go out, get a decent job and feed a family of 6, no credit card, small mortgage (if that), no food bank. Now even with two incomes, after going to university and leaving with student debt many people are struggling or have a bloated mortgage or a bloated credit card debt. In worse case it's all four and still need a food bank. What exactly changed? And why are we letting those fuckers (politicians and media who pulled the wool over our eyes during all recent crises) get away with it?! Cost of living crisis: Larger families warned they could be in 'real trouble'https://uk.yahoo.com/news/cost-of-living-crisis-larger-families-warned-they-could-be-in-real-trouble-173056565.htmlUS:  UK:  Supposedly the most affluent countries (and those apparently with supposedly the best health care systems) are the worst when it comes to debt vs income ratio. Truly bizarre:  The media and government seem to be colluding in wanting smaller families, or in worse case scenario destroy the family unit and prefer to import boat or border crossing people. They were quite happy to arrest granny for sitting on her own on a park bench for not wearing a mask during the extremely dangerous CoViD but SBF can be a billionaire scamming criminal cunt of epic proportions and still happily go back home to jerk off to pornhub for the rest of his life, minimal questions asked. "Hey you farmer a-hole, stop your disgusting practice that is helping to feed everyone, we prefer to house those who come from thousands of miles away, get lost." Truly astonishing. People changed. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents on my fathers side when I was young, he was born in 1900 and his wife in 1903. When they got merried in the 30s they bought a small one room apartment in a house that was brand new and top modern, it had a WC (indoor plumbing) when most houses still had outhouses, it had running cold water when some houses still had a well in the yard, they had a bathtub (with hot running water) in the celler that they could use in rota with the other tennants when others had to go to the bathouse, they had a washing machine in the basement that they could use in rota with the other tennants, when others had to go to a cleaner or laundromat. It had a kitchen with a gas stove and central heating. This was state of the art when it was built. the one room had a niche for a bed with drapes for the kids, the rest of the room was rearanged every evening so they could fold out the bed that was a couch during daytime. The furniture was bought new, but it wasn't much, the aforementioned sofa/bed, a small dinnertable, four chairs to that, lamps, a kitchen table and chairs and some kocking appliances. They lived in that apartment for their whole lifes with the same furniture. He died in 1971 and she died three years later. He worked his whole life and actually got a hart attack at 71 at work, where he had kept working as a consultant, as we would call it today after his pension at 65, he was an electrician and foreman at Sydkraft, the leading electric compant in southern Sweden at the time. Electrician in the early 1900s was a cool job, like IT guys in the late 1900s, and he had a decent pay. his wife was a stay at home wife, she made all the meals from schratch, she mended all the clothes and socks until they were unmendeble, she would then turn them in to cleaning or polishing rags, she would save the ends of bread loafs and make breadcrumbs of them, and so on. they raised two kids, and in the aerly 60s they had saved enough money to buy a Ford Anglia and a plot of land in Stenskogen, on that plot he built a summerhouse together with his two sons and his wife, including felling all the trees, it was a forest plot. they later upgraded to a SAAB V4 and installed electricity in the summerhouse, he did that himself of course, being an electrician. They also along the way bought a radio gramophone and later a TV. They never ate out except on special occasions and buying a cup of coffe on the go was unthinkeble, (and not available). You get the picture, if people in their 20s and 30s today would live that way I'm sure they wouldn't have any problems getting by. Edit: he was also a bit of a snob, allways had nice clothes and was seen at clubs dancing jitterbug in his youth, and so was my granny. He was also a member of the Druid order. |

@OP (Santa poster) and WO gays...sorry, I have no idea what "muscled" Santa manifested, lol.
Perhaps, I can guess, though.
Ho-ho-homo! I don't think many WOers are actually gay (apart from Bawb obviously). It's just a good old tradition which is believed to help Bitcoin rise!  It's neither good nor old, it's a kidnapping of the cat christmas card tradition, and as you can see, it makes bitcoin go down. WO gay Christmas card quantity becomes uncorrelated (or even inverse) to BTC price? What should be post instead? Any suggestions? Kittens, thats how it started.  |

Hello all! Went to the indoor gun range with the gun club/military association I'm a member of for the Christmas shooting/last shooting of the year. My plinker, a .22lr Ruger revolver.  Some of the guns the club has as loaners for members without their own guns.  The range.   Hope you all are doing good, I don't have the time I used to to hang here right now. You all behave now while I'm gone. |
