Sanctions always hurt both sides. Need to be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot. "targeted" SWIFT restrictions sounds like BS talk to appease the masses “At the same time, we are working flat out on how to limit the collateral damage of a disconnection from #SWIFT so that it hits the right people. What we need is a targeted and functional restriction of SWIFT." https://twitter.com/germanyintheeu/status/1497629293937049606?s=20&t=Y6In-oQI9lj9gA1sz5xrKgYeah, likely BS. SWIFT disconnection is the financial equivalent of nukes. China will help Rus, of course, although they will do so half-heartedly, and only so they can test their new digital renminbi thingy and/or gauge how much such disconnection impacts the disconnected. They could be next, if the shit hits Taiwan's fan. Freezing Putin's or Lavrov's assets abroad? That's a joke. Might as well try to freeze his noncustodial btc wallet (which I'm sure is quite fat, incidentally). If they really cut off Russia from SWIFT, it will be the largest testbed for btc to date. And yes, there will be the "bad btc, helps criminals" angle. But the people will see and understand. In Russia, in Canada, everywhere. Interesting times indeed. |

Moms do know though. As do several soldiers tricked into going to the border for "maneuvers" and now ordered to kill people who don't look like nazis in the slightest. My snark about ice cream was just... well just some random snark.
Are soldiers tricked into anything? You signed up, you go where you're told. At least according to western propaganda, many youths signed up just recently because tactical maneuvers near the border. One way or another, many of them aren't getting back home whole. Imagine the thank yous when the sanctions are felt. EDIT This could be Putin's undoing. Even his small circle is visibly fragmenting. |

They thought they'd be handing out ice creams? No, no!! The ice cream is reserved for those taking the covid vaccines (not only in Russia but many other places). Turns out Putin might not only lie to us but also to his own people. Surprise, surprise. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10549055/Russian-mothers-say-sons-tricked-joining-Putins-army.htmlexcerpt •Meanwhile frantic Russian mothers are complaining in their droves that their sons were duped into the war •The Committee of Soldiers' Mothers says young men were told they were going to the border for drills •Once they arrived, their contracts were changed to say they were there to fight and now none can be reached Wouldn't it just be easier and result into less number of Russia's military deaths to turn the tanks back, head towards Moscow, surround the Kremlin and drag the little twerp out of there kicking and screaming. It may come to that, eventually. From what I hear, many Russians support the invasion because they've been brainwashed into believing Nazi Ukraine, fed and armed by the evil West, was going to raid Moscow. Someone is getting wiser, but showing dissent in public isn't healthy if you care for freedom. Moms do know though.

My snark about ice cream was just... well just some random snark. |

The article already says that the Canadian Govt is upset with Coinbase/Kraken.. both have operations (at least for now) in Canada..
Barbara Streisand effect. That, along with the seizing or closer of personal bank accounts, is the single biggest advertisement for bitcoin that the Canadian govt could make. Looking like a fool Big claims but no delivery Looking at the wrench #haiku |

The issue with supplements and keeping your balls still working means dropping a load 7-10 times a week as part of your training. male ejaculate has lots of testosterone in it. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1030919/read up on guys like babe ruth he ate tons of oysters and had many woman. thus he balanced his testosterone. read up on Roger Clemons he used a young olympic girl to drain himont a steady basis. It kept him balanced and the gymnast got hormones to aid in her muscle building. Lots of athletes do this. Read about Arnold when he was Mr Universe steroid were legal and he was a big womanizer Aaw, the unimaginable sacrifices we have to go through to keep our body functioning! It's very hard. All this suffering may bend lesser men, but I'm ready to do what I have to. Now - where are all the olympic girls? Hm, none in sight? Actually, I could even settle for unolympic milfs if it comes to that. Of course, I'd have to be able to, hm, take a look, before committing to the ordeal. Oh, the trying toils! Oh, the unbreakable fiber! Hardship, here I come! Here I come! Here I... ooohhhh hhhhhhhhhhh |

I just think the Canadian government is a bit clueless. They could have avoided some ridicule had they asked someone in the know before even talking about seizing coins in noncustodial wallets.

Which means we get to have our balls left alone until that line is touched. Right?
See you on the other side. All right. But no more ball busting on THIS side, okay? |

If the price don't touch this trendline, I will never post any TA ever on bitcointalk.  Until the touching Our balls will be left alone Or what are you sayin'? #haiku

I don’t think Russia are going to invade Ukraine.
To my understanding, Russia will not be invading Ukraine, because they would not be able to survive the trade sanctions levied against them, as a result. Maybe they would, but Putin sure wouldn't. |

The Ukraine issue is extremely important, for sure. But what is happening in Canada is at LEAST a DEFCON 3 level event as far as US national security goes. The country to our north is undergoing a Communist revolution.
I think "Fascist" might be a more fitting term. You can't call it Communist until a few factories are seized "by the workers". Say, all of Amazon's Canadian warehouses or something like that to start. Unfortunately we may soon be dealing with both of these at the same time... throw in action in Taiwan, and well... the fuse is more than lit.
-snip-
I am, needless to say, worried. A lot.
I am, too. If the Chinese start making trouble around Taiwan while the USA is looking at Moscow and Kiev, we might be in for a generous helping of doom. Luckily, China's navy is nowhere nearly as good as their other military forces and hopefully, Japan (on the contrary, one heck of a powerful navy) will keep on being a US- and West-friendly watchdog in the area. Taiwan has been Japanese until the other day anyway. You know... I brought up the living generations in a previous post. But there is one who is frighteningly absent now. The generation that would see this for exactly what it is, and where it leads, because they would see history repeating itself. Sadly these men and women are (nearly?) entirely dead. And probably a lot are rolling over in their graves.

Bob, i hope this isn't the last time you go down this rabbit hole!
It won't be. Plan to revisit in at least another 18 months. You better!!! You ended up with almost 0.15 of my BTC! Which really just increased my incoming liquidity a significant portion on both nodes! So it is all good! I am just messing. In fact this was one of the realizations that helped me over the hump i think made you frustrated. Individual channel balance is ONE thing... but overall NODE balance is another, and arguably more important. Stagnant channels are what I have begun to look at with the horse eye... but on the other hand they are not really HURTING anything. And I have had channels about the size of ours chronically end up on one side of the string, and then BOOM sweep back over on their own accord... Anyway... I will keep looking at channel management over the next 18 months with a current eye to just letting the node manage itself for a while. And I will let you know what I learn in 18m or whenever! I'm following the discussion from the sidelines while I wait for the gear to wet my toes. Just a suggestion: adding a tag that can be useful for searches, please? Bob's #LNMETA is perfect. |

TL/DR;
Bob rage quit running an LN node because he values his sanity and life outside of Bitcoin.
WO forum begs him to un-rage quit because "We need more LN node operators!" (do we really tho?).
Bob vows to rejoin the insanity in 18 months.
Out of merits but I lol'ed  EDIT Thanks Duuuuuuude!! |
