Actually asked our agent to proactively seek out the availability status of an extra ParcelID of land right next to us, essentially allowing us to start boxing out a whole portion of the entire tract of land, should people north or south of us start selling.
Hey, maybe it would be B. Gates...you never know...he bought half of US farmland according to reports...well, maybe not half, but a lot. How about some solar there-would provide a trickle (or a flood) of corn that would pay for the upkeep? js I am not into farms myself, but sounds like an exciting venture.

somebody of you Brotards have a look at the Bitcoin Options which expire on Friday? ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Option expiries seldom have a direct impact on the spot price. However, when open interest is concentrated in out-of-the-money (OTM) call and put options, which is the case with bitcoin, a sudden pre-expiry move forces market makers to hedge with the underlying asset. That leads to more significant price turbulence.
Over 80% of the Deribit-based Jan. 29 expiry open interest is set to expire out-of-the-money, or worthless. Notably, more than 52,600 call option contracts and 29,800 put option contracts are currently OTM, as noted by Swiss-based data provider Laevitas.
https://twitter.com/laevitas1/status/1353648338713907200what does it mean for the spot price? we are fucked? I don't know. But if it's like the impact of a long or short future and the call-part is overwelming more, than there are maybe sell contract through? But are these anyway backed by btc. where did they get the money if they have not btc. Or did they buy it? I am confused. Is here some expert, who can explain these? in short: volatility will tend to increase later in the week. and then: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FJB4K8GV.gif&t=665&c=okiHMAU5ZbMuyg)

Good morning Bitcoinland. Still sideways in the $3xxxx range, although we lost the little bit we gained yesterday... currently $31507USD/$40042CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Boring. Time for more coffee. The thing that used to annoy me most about conventional corporate wage-slavery was the 9-5 hours, specifically the 9 part. We all know that some people are morning people, some are night owls. I'm definitely the latter. No less productive, just more productive in the evening than mornings. Yet employers insist that everyone starts at 09.00. There was hardly any point me starting work at that time, I had no ability to focus until at least 12.00. And just when my focus was starting to really come together at 17.30, it was time to go home. Ridiculous working system reflecting a bygone era
And why is it always seen as a virtue to be a morning person, yet it's assumed that night owls just sit around watching TV or playing video games late into the night?
Amen. That was one of the many reasons I dropped out of the rat race back in 1976. Here's a piece of doggerel I wrote around that time. It was to be part of a planned collection of humorous verses called "Poor Jimbo's Almanac", sub-titled "Mornings are for Sleeping". _____ Early awake and early abed, I'm sure you remember what Ben Franklin said, But may I suggest that there's nothing to gain In advice from a man who flies kites in the rain. The lion, they say, is the king of the beasts And a lion sleeps days on end after he feasts. For as a wave's trough is as deep as its crest, Then surely one's waking's as deep as one's rest. The longer you slumber, the deeper you sleep So it follows your thoughts will be equally deep. So if you're up late and a chronic late riser, You may not get rich but you'll surely be wiser.

Have already discussed devoting an entire acre to a solar array. Plans to dig our own well system. Set up a few huge-ass industrial size wind-farm propellors in the cattle pasture... The idea is to be 100% self sufficient on the property, and actually pump excess energy back out to the local grid. Also will be looking to set up a low-key private wireless ISP service for the area (will at least have a single Starlink satellite system, in addition to whatever runs we decide to have the local telcos make) Hoping the agent gives us some sort of indication on the state of negotiations any time now. Low-balled 'em, and Rick is concerned they were offended with my initial offer. Dude worries too much "OK. So they get offended. I offer more money. What is the big deal ?" Dude is such a diva. Needs to learn to relax. Trying to wrap up hand-off of his work to other teams before he announces his resignation in February, so he's kinda stressed out more than usual lately. Bleh.

Take a look at unify / ubiquity products. ui.com I have their UAP-AC-Lite as my own separate wireless access point at home. You will still want to install hard wire cables on your property, at least CAT6 ethernet (good enough for gigabit speeds or faster).

Aren't you dollar rich, now ?
Everything is relative. We have enough to live happily ever after. With this ranch Rick and I are looking to buy, I've decided I'm going to try for "eccentric interracial gay couple builds private race track, cattle pasture, slaughterhouse, corn farm, apiary, Citadel, and private airport in the middle of Nowhere, TX" levels of lunacy, to dip my toe into that whole experience. EDIT: Also, gonna build fucking terraces everywhere, goddamnit. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FpJa0pDw.png&t=665&c=ejaoMk21MAfIJg) No island for you then ?

IT jobs are just stressful. If some are not, most of them are for sure. Some people become even restless after quitting their IT jobs, because their "system" doesn't know where to put the higher alert level awareness that they got used to in this business. It sucks, but it keeps you alive and able to compete in this area. One needs to progressively learn to relax in the first place, or substance abuse or chronic stress (or both) become daily companions. Get him to stick his nose into Yoga.

And busy-ness - why is that seen as a virtue? There seems to be an underlying assumption that the busier a person is, the more virtuous they are. Why is so little value attached to making time to do nothing, to think, to slow down and to ponder the big questions?
If I get a solid 8 hours sleep I'm good for the next 16 hours - doesn't matter what time it is. It takes time to adjust though and it's not something that should be changed on a regular basis. It's always 9am somewhere in the world....

this, basically. i always had enough hobbies and interests to never be bored working or not. and you may find areas of interest that you never would of though of once you dont need to keep someone elses schedule. once your time is truly yours and not someone elses you might be surprised where your wanderings take you. i havent worked for years and never have had more fun and new interests. its vastly more satisfying to invest your time into your projects rather than try to fit your lifestyle around some corporations daily schedule.

Why is so little value attached to making time to do nothing, to think, to slow down and to ponder the big questions? If you ever spend any significant time around mid-level managers, VPs, or C-Level executives (or if you are unlucky enough to be one yourself), you see how their entire workday is just slammed full of meetings. Meetings meetings meetings. And boy do they ever love to go to meetings, and talk and pontificate about pointless shit. All day, every day. And they view this as "productive time", as "work". But of course it's not actual work, because they never have any real action items to actually *produce* something from the outcomes of all these meetings (except for more fucking slide decks, lol). They are not the ones that actually have to go off and produce something tangible, it's all the worker-bees that do the actual work. That's why executives, VPs, and mid-level managers can go home at 5 or early, workout, eat well, enjoy being with their family, get a good nights sleep, and get paid lots of money... because they never really have to take actual "work" home with them, or stress about it after hours or on the weekends. They are not really on the hook for getting the real work done. And they are totally fine with that. Why do you think they are smiling and laughing all the time? Once I figured out that's how the corporate world works, I couldn't wait to get out. What a total waste of my brainpower dealing with all that crap.

Of course the MSM has been dead silent about this. Gotta push those expensive vaccines.
The vaccines cost a few dollars per shot. This is a false (fraudulent?) economy. There are many downsides to vaccines and those costs are externalised ... in fact big pharma makes sure of that by getting governments to sign water-tight liability waivers. dyodd. There are many downsides to getting fucking COVID, too. ... those costs are on the Chinese Commie Lab that leaked it out ... if you're counting. Yeah there are downsides to everything, there's a calculable chance of you getting hit by a lightning, or getting killed by your fridge right now, or for every single one of your atoms to spontaneously transfer behind a wall. I believe that's why most of us are here, we're able to do a cost/benefit analysis. Amongst others, the ultimate downsides of COVID is death, now everyone needs to consider the chances of dying from the vaccine vs COVID. Of course there are tons of additional unknown risks that should be considered, but those exists on both sides (and are highly speculative until we have more data). Calculations are not the same for everyone and highly personalized, if you're 90 short term consequences should be of much higher concern vs say if you're 18yrs old
