Poor Bernie. The tide has turned against him today. America get ready for another round of your favorite presidential election game: Giant Douche vs. Turd Sandwich.
I don't see Biden as being "sharp" enough to beat Trump. Which is quite a sad testament to the state of things. Basically, politics as usual...
Biden's about only chance is to act as the "sane" guy. Trump has to look like a clown besides him. He tries so hard to look serious. Or America is really that stupid, then it's "good night", like in Mike Judge's "Idiocracy" ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) EDIT: While it's not sunday i'm in mood for a haiku Waiting for pumps, too ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Had a hell of a bad day today. The topping of all was a marten killing one of our chickens, and the kids found it. Some infant's tears later, i had to fix the compound for about two hours in pouring rain and set up a trap. I spare you all the other ugly details of this disaster tuesday. Feels good to hang around and backread a whole day of WO. Feels like home² ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Hope your day was better, y'all. The corn didn't even move so much. Unusual, when i am busy with RL. A strange day, indeed. That's always hard. Last one we lost I had the satisfaction of doing battle with the racoon up in a maple tree a few days later. Motherfucker got stabbed pretty good and knocked about 12M to the ground. I doubt he died, but he never came back. Felt good to avenge my lady. I can feel you #nohomo For my part, i promised my wife to set the four footed killer free, in the wild. She even suggested leaving 2 eggs per day outside the compartment, so it doesn't attack the chickens (uhm... yeah?) ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Mofo will go swimming, with a stone at least four times its own weight. I will spontaneously decide if i knock him out before, because of mercy'n stuff. I have seen enough blood today. I like it clean and the fish will be happy about a nice extra dinner. The leftover corpse of the victim is prepared for the fox, he should have taken it already. It's a win-win-lose-lose. Fair enough, imo.

Do you guys know any good writers/editors who work for coin?
Depends. I'd vote for Gentlemand, if you need some fucked up, but brilliant perv fantasies. I'd vote for JJG if you need a 800+ page book of flawless on-topic breakdown analysis, say within a week. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

modern? NO WAY! Let me go on: It more reminds me of the old times of techno, in the mid 90s, where all the power of a raving masterpiece of techno came from a simple but powerful hookline, uncomplicated sound design in the ways a jupiter8 or minimoog could deliver, accompanied by a tb-303 bassline, while the emotions of the listener were unchained by about only the arrangement, which brought him/her onto a journey through the universe of his/her own mind. I might have swallowed, sniffed, licked and smoked too much of all the funky substances offered to me these days to maximise the experience this way, but hey, techno was made with that in mind. It was like woodstock reloaded in the nineties, unlike that uniform, commercial, high polished polyrhytm techno music scene of today. A track from 2018, which is free from all that and still makes you float away, like in the old days, that's indeed a brilliant piece of work. I need to get some very old mp3s now, thanks for igniting the spark ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Just texted with a friend, the groceries in Seattle got wiped out yesterday. Silly normals, why pay for food when you can just split the skulls of your neighbors and feast on the tasty goo inside?
An ideal post for gentlemand to merit ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Actually thought it would be his writing ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Absolutely. Whenever i read his writings i have to think of Patrick Bateman in "American Psycho". ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fb9iQ5kY.png&t=663&c=AkuciZc8H4jFfw) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FORqfEKA.png&t=663&c=MTwGVGLD_zu_Wg) who's jam would this be Mine ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I had a similar setup 11 years ago. The double bed was standard, but i mounted my screen behind a wooden board with black velvet lining, with the three front 5.1 speakers mounted around the display. The board was tilted off a horizontal platform, using hinges and a metal chain to adjust the angle, very simple but effective. The platform was hung from the ceiling, on two rails from sliding doors, mounted in the direction of the bed's axis, over the center of the bed. I was able to play in almost any position, from sitting upright to lying flat, after adjusting the angle and height. Watching movies also was great. The display was only 26" diameter, but considering the resolution of the screen and the human eye, it was more than sufficient at the lower distance. I hit my head occasionally when getting out of bed in the dark, nothing too serious, though. I still have the rails in the basement, so maybe i will build something like this again. Of course, i had a wireless keyboard, and this was the only annoying thing about it: Typing while lying flat. I got the idea from a movie, where a games programmer like was living in an automated chair with screens hung above and in front of him, split keyboard in the armrests (iirc). Funny, as i just googled for it, i found the title "Grandma's Boy", from 2006, directed by Nicholaus Goossen (*). EDIT: (*) That name was rising some memories about someone you might know...

The lead up to the halving is usually volatile. The price will drop again once any major publication posts the theory that at halving the miners will all stop mining (along with the implications of what happens to Bitcoin then).
Just enough people will be worried enough to sell bringing the price down yet again.
The lower the better to launch the price rise at halving, when mining continues at its normal pace.
This time around I am not sure how this Corona virus will affect the price. It may turn into a hedge, the Fed will certainly pump as much as they can which helps.
The US is finally getting cases of people affected. China started in November and by January there was full panic. US having first deaths in March could mean full panic mode in May just as the halving happens.
If the mining panic drives the price down, people may not see it as a safe haven during the crisis.
It could either be a perfect storm for a big bitcoin price or the timing counters sentiment such that it is just a normal rise starting at halving.
I certainly went out and stocked up on enough food for about a month. Fortunately I am far from Panama City and there are no reported cases here yet.
Isn't China/Asia the region behind the most bitcoin volume? I think we already saw the impact, i suggest a substantial drop in the stock market is yet to come, at latest when half of the US and EU will have to stay at home for collective self-quarantine. The halvening will most likely unfold it's rising potential a while after it has taken place,as it was before. Probably there will also be some additional action in advance, because of anticipation. But that's uhm... just my opinion, man ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

This is interesting. Different people eat different things, which obviously implies biological differences. It is well known that a lot of animals have sub-races within the same species. One example is ants, where some of them are workers while others are soldiers who protect the hive. They are the same specie, but the soldiers are several times bigger than the workers and they do not work, only fight to protect the hive. Another example is a type of rodent (i forget which). They live in underground caves, but some of them don't really do much. They are bigger than the others, and they just laze around and eat a lot. However, when the rain comes they serve a very important function. They waddle up to the entrance of the cave, and plug it with their big fat butt. An easy and lazy life in exchange for a risk of being eaten by a wandering predator. What about humans? We used to live in tribes. Some men would spend most of their time in camp, building clay pots and playing with the kids, while others would be out hunting animals (or other humans), risking their life to protect and provide for the tribe. It is possible (and I would say seems reasonable) that there are genetic differences between different types of men. At the least, we can say for sure that there are psychological differences. Does diet correlate to psychological traits? I have never seen any studies about this, but I would guess that it does. Different lifestyles obviously require different physical abilities and different ways of thinking, it would make sense that that means different types of food are optimal.Maybe, just maybe, this virus is more likely to be fatal for soyboys than normal men. Would be very interesting to see some statistics, once we have enough samples. So, maybe testosterone is the cure. We should just throw infected men into a pit to fight over a slab of bacon. Also, you remind me of the Japanese concept of grass-eating menGrass eaters are just their word for men going their own way. Which, being bitcoiners, we all pretty much are by definition. As for family, if it turns out to be possible. It's not in the west. That's part of why I'm moving elsewhere. Yes it does. Colon is lined with enormous count of nerve cells, which are believed to interact with the brain. As well as i don't have a source link handy, i don't know if this evidence was strengthened in the meantime. And according to this, heavy consumption of certain food, wheat meal, HFCS, sucrose, fat... harms, at least changes gut bacteria that is linked to process or create serotonine/dopamine in the colon. On the other hand, colon bacteria population was discovered to be influenced by psychic illness, and the findings correlated to a good amount to the colon popuplation of obese people. It's a two sided sword indeed, while fructose and fructans (fructose alcohols, as in wheat) play an important role here. For example, i was diagnosed as anxious/depressive two decades ago, and i was able to change my mood and strength by a diet i held because i was later diagnosed with fructose malabsorption. Even today, when i eat too much fructose/fructans i get angry, nervous, my muscles become weak and hurt, skin problems etc. My colon suffered from inflammation for decades, taking a shit several times a day was causing malnutrition, which in turn led to vitamin deficiencies, these caused my memory problems. So i can say for sure that brain fitness and nutrition are linked directly.

Of course, i presented kind of a modernised representation. Didn't want to throw full hardcore at you, but i see i can't add anything of value for you now. "I am that i am" is also the far better translation, forgive my sloppiness. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

Too far behind to even try to catch up, but I have a little something for you that might explain the rapid spread in Iran. Apparently it's a thing in Iran to lick sacred places and the government aren't shutting them down. Video: https://twitter.com/i/status/1233783635007954949Saw this too. Unbelievable. They even believe in the "healing power" of licking the shrine. I consider this as an example of Darwin's Law. Some cultures are just too dumb to succeed (EDIT: and/or survive). Reminds me of flat earthers a little. I can think of a couple sacred places I'd like to lick.
I went to an alleyway on the outskirts of Rome and paid off a member of the Swiss Guard for a ten minute play with this. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FE3iKPRz.jpg%3F1&t=663&c=JtGGdj56oVWpJQ) I could taste some thrush, a hint of swarfega and a whole lot of crystal meth so I'm pretty goddamn confident it was pulled straight off the pope in his sleep. Almost always i read something like this from you, i have to compulsively think about Patrick Bateman. #nohomo Btw: The movie is like an audiovisual sleeping pill, compared to the novel, imo. Coronavirus update:
... (more unconvenient news)
The chinese government seems to have some success in limiting the outbreak applying strict measures. I don't see much of a chance for the rest of the world, excluding north korea and russia. I refer to Darwin's Law again. My last hope is that the virus doesn't survive summer's sun ultraviolet radiation levels (like SARS). However, my UV-C equipment is set up and ready. It can decontaminate a whole room and every surface within that is reached by its light, in a matter of minutes, without the side effect of producing ozone. My health now only relies on family members that have to go to work or school. Everything else is manageable by using soap and proper hand washing techniques. As a person with hyper-reactive immune system, i have to take stronger measures each winter, i'm already used to that by now. Dramatic drop in levels of air pollution after closing down China's factories.
The bright side of the two-sided-medal.

- 38% of Americans wouldn't buy Corona beer because of the coronavirus. I bought it because funny. But only once, now I won't buy it because it tastes like horse piss ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) You know how horse piss tastes like?! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) How come? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) There are 6 confirmed cases of covid-19 in my neck of the woods now - all imported - 3 from China and 3 from Iran.
Don’t worry, you are going to start local production very soon. Could be that we all have to accept SARS-CoV-2 Covid19 as seasonal addition al to the flu.

![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FJUQuOFd.jpg&t=663&c=0cE0JNhBSwIa5w) Romanian TV faking up an 'empty shelves' story. Everything from the shelves is just piled up behind the camera Yeah, I have noticed the same with Italy empty supermarket pictures. They just focus on some random empty shelve... and you can clearly see in the background many others completely filled... yet the pictures imprints the idea of a complete full stop of supplies. Fuck mainstream media. One thing is spreading bullshit because of incompetence (something I take for a given), and another thing intentionally misleading when you know better. Bleh. Yesterday i wanted to buy some noodles. The noodles shelves were empty, as well as rice, canned beans and eggs. Today i was at the supermarket again, still not restocked, flour and evaporated milk shelves now empty too. I asked for restock, they said at noon. I returned there at noon, people with carts full of toilet paper waiting for the delivery truck. I went to a small store at the city border and got all i wanted there, easily. No need to touch my prepper reserves yet. People are endlessly dumb. They will smash their heads for a bottle of soda in the supermarkets soon, while i will shop the grocery stores in a relaxed manner. But you have to know this: Four confirmed Covid19 cases in the whole country so far... This is insane. EDIT: Fishing "season" starts mid of April, too. I'm set. Quotes because fish can be caught all year, but it's harder in winter, of course.

Dems, Reps... Doesn't make much difference. We're fucked, globally, economically, we just don't realize yet. Does anybody still thinks politicians are working for us? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) It's we that work for them, they just orchestrate our behaviour, but that's not how democracy should look like. It would cost a lot of our blood to change this. And even if we wanted to, they would make us to fight against each other than against the establishment for something better. We're just too dumb (yet) to be really free. Any government is just elected, temporary dictatorship. The old greeks would likely stab themselves in shame, if they'd know what "democracy" looks like today.
