New diet no more carbs for a while, no wine etc. Seeking Ketosis.

Go for it! Bacon, eggs, cheese, steak, etc, mmmmmm. But understand it may take a few weeks until your metabolism fully adjusts, so be patient. Wine can definitely fit in a well-managed keto diet, with around 4g carbs for a good dry wine. You can save another carb or two with a very dry champagne. For me, it's sipping on some good old whiskey, 0 carbs. But be careful, alcohol hits much harder when you're in ketosis.

It’s a good point.  It’s currently attached to the outside of house and has cameras on it, not that that is likely to help.

Safety comes primary from a good battery monitoring system, and secondary from how the cells are packaged. A shorted cell should heat up but heat transfer to the next cell(s) should be slow enough so the whole pack can't do a cascading runaway. Powerwall should vent some hot gasses but nothing more. Mine will be indoor and I plan to not store very flammable things like cardboard/paper right next to it. It's not a Chinese pouch cell, with just a thermal fuse, shrink-wrap "shielding", and very limited monitoring of charging and discharging conditions.

I have had some great vegetarian Indian dishes ... no way Indian is vegan though ... but so delicious I could learn to live without meat with great Indian takeaway nearby.

India is heaven for Vegans and Vegetarians without any doubt. majority of Indians eat at least some sort of meat dishes too but Vegans and Vegetarian are in very good numbers as well.

Main Vegans and Vegetarians come from Jain, Brahmin Families. My GF is Muslim, she and half of her family are Vegetarian too. ( which is kind of depressing for me because I love Mughlai food)

I love Indian food too... vegan or not.
My ring piece complains a bit the next morning however...

Go slow with Spicy food if you don't want to disturb your belly. that's a trick.

I love Indian food... but only for a few days. After that, my stomach and my tongue ask for a break (even though I don't mind spices at all)... I need to get back to my favorite, Italian food.
Plus, whenever I eat too much Indian food, my skin starts smelling different... and not in a good way.

Haha, I feel for you bhai, I used to date an English girl when I was living in Osaka. She had the same feeling after eating Indian cuisine. my only advice to her was " take shower daily sweetheart"

Bro, I see this video and I loved this I want to soon visite your country, just loved this Food

Sure Sir, But don't go West Bengal because you are already Bangla and familiar with cuisine and culture Visit south or north.

If you like 'pilseners' like Stella or Carlsberg, you should definitely try Vedett Extra Blond. My favorite beer.

Mic is probably gonna hate me for it, but I also love Heineken :+)

I also like the IPA that Brand makes, it's not so extremely bitter as most IPA's are.

On topic: will this be the moment we will finally leave 8k in the rear view mirror? If this attempt fails again, we might have get a pullback.

+1 merit for the Italian food.
But when outside Italy I rarely go eating Italian food, as firstly  I like to taste the local food, secondly I always find funny things when going eating Italian abroad. Italian food outside Italy is never really Italian, no matter how hard you try (how much you spend).

Guess we are heading that way, if it keeps pushing like that last couple of hours it will hit the 8.5k rather soon if no bears pop up.

I tried Keto many years ago. My breath was terrible on it.
But seriously, if you have access to it, try metformin, it helps tremendously.

Agreed, real Italian food can only be found in Italy, nowhere else.

We are putting in a pool and will build a pool house. Now that I think about maybe should relocate it to the far side of the pool house which will be completely separate from the house.  

Reserve power is a very nice thing for a house, not sure if you need a whole powerwall though. I've been running a power station in an outside shed on my property for about 20 years now, the core of it is 4 150ah VRLA (Valve regulated lead acid) batteries with a 1kw 24 volt inverter and 1kw of solar panels. About 5-6kw of power, 1kw peak draw, a 10 year life span on the batteries, and they will never catch fire..

In the event of a power failure I can switch to the shed manually for the fridge (300w, 25% duty cycle), a few lights, and most importantly cell phone and internet service (another 20-30 watts) and a coffee maker (70w for a few minutes). In a multi-day power outage the priority is keeping the fridge running and having fresh coffee. Can also run a smaller microwave oven if I need to warm some food up.

Solar panels can top off about 4kw of power a day, giving me around 9-10kw of power. With 2kw for the fridge this leaves me a fair bit of extra power for incidentals or a day or two of rain. Longest I have run it was 3 days when power really went out and it was a life saver.

Not too complex, worth it.

The third WinkleVii speaking at CNBC.

"Bitcoin is the future"

[nutildah]

The Dude doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would ever switch up his beer. Maybe they didn't have Oat Sodas at such a fancy looking place. I also don't think whatserface would order a beer either. She looks more like a mild cocktail drinker.

 The entire commercial almost threw me into a disgusted, outraged state, over the absurdity of the entire production.

 Carrie drinks Cosmos.
 The Dude drinks White Russians.
 End of discussion.

 On a personal note, I'm pained by Jeff Bridges and Horseface (less so) whoring themselves out for a fucking beer commercial.

 "I like money" from "Idiocracy" immediately springs to mind.

 Whatever.

I know... The whole commercial was a giant letdown. So much build-up for so much disappointment.

Idiocracy was an amazing film (premise-wise) and may still be a foretelling of things to come. One of my favorite Terry Crews roles. He's great in a lot of films.

TLDR, perhaps insiders really did know something all along, it just wasnt about Bakkt or an ETF. Perhaps Globalcoin is much more beneficial for Bitcoin than both of these combined.  

I think everything is contributing to the rise now. Bakkt (Microsoft and Starbucks), an ETF, Facebookcoin, JP Morgan Coin, Lightning payments in Cash app, the trade war.

+1 merit for the Billions reference

I beg to differ: it is not good for bitcoin at all. It would have been if they used btc, of course.
Now, instead of talking about Bitcoin story, all mass media would keep talking about is how facebook is "improving" bitcoin.
In reality: what exactly would support this stable coin for millions of people to use? I don't think that banks would be happy with this.
And governments? This would essentially mean facebook minting currency, which they obviously can't.
One interesting side effect: this would either kill XRP completely or banksters would run to it in lieu of facebookcoin.

Here (replace E-coin with facebookcoin):

I never really understood why people thought XRP would be adopted by banks. Banks have enough money and influence to create their own version. And would not make some no name CEO of XRP super wealthy.

+1 merit for Mr robot reference

Tone Vays and Roger Ver section of Malta Blockchain Summit 2019 - Live Stream

They get into a pissing match about transaction fees. Roger says that you have to spend $3 for a BTC transaction fee, which makes it impractical for sending $5 worth of BTC... Vays says he hasn't paid more than a dollar for a fee in the last 9 months. He ends up sending Roger $5 of BTC with a 1 cent fee. Roger says if it confirms in the next 24 hours he'll donate $10,000 to Vays' charity of choice. It confirms in 10 hours.

Wonder if Roger held up his promise...

tldr: tx was added manually by slush and bet was end of day local time not 24 hours. if i got it right.

[John Abraham]

How is everyone doing?
Will we be stuck on $8k for the next couple of weeks?
Thoughts?

[nutildah]

tldr: tx was added manually by slush and bet was end of day local time not 24 hours. if i got it right.

I thought that might be the case, or that it was RBF and accelerated... They shouldn't have intervened really. I received a tx the other day with a 0.78 sat/byte fee and it took about 18 hours to confirm.
