About these purple "no trespassing" markings, can't this be used by someone to get away with murder? You drag someone inside the fence, you shoot him dead, and then claim he was trespassing and did not respond to verbal warnings and warning shots. How would the authorities in the relevant USA territories deal with this?

In contrast to the above, in many (most?) countries in the world, you will be put to prison if you shoot a burglar when he is inside your house, even if you legally carry a weapon. Even more surprising is the fact that, in the UK, police officers are not normally allowed to carry firearms (IIRC -- UK WOers, please confirm if that's the case).

I think somebody posted that this doesn't give you the right to shoot the intruder but you are allowed to use force to hold him and hand him over to LE.

In our country it's much worse, you may not touch the guy that is standing beside your bed with your money in his hands when you wake up. People here are joking that best you can do is offering him a sandwich and a coffee while he awaits with you the arrival of LE. Though they sometimes have unfortunate accidents on stairs while they wait with you for the coppers...

My doc once told me to use 50-100cm of very thick electric cables (like the ones that run into a house) instead of a baseball bat. He said the bat slips down the bone and doesn't crack it, while the installation cable winds around bones and makes sure they crack nicely (also seems to hurt a bit more). Trusting my doc on this and got myself some fat cables from my electrician friend

End of year/beginning of new year prediction:

Some well-known entity or person is going to announce a sizeable bitcoin acquisition. It could be Elon Musk (again), Jack, M. Saylor, Ark Invest, or some other notable person or company we haven't heard about yet.

It'll either happen right before 2021 ends, or shortly after 2022 begins.

Just leaving this here for the funzies.

I would definitely throw out Saylor and MicroStrategy, as they buy periodically and mostly below 5000 BTC. Also Jack Dorsey is no longer a Twitter CEO and I don’t see that there could be anything there. Mr.Mars is always an enigma, but he is currently focused on shitcoins, and it would also be strange to invest in BTC, while at the same time expressing concern about how Bitcoin mining is extremely harmful to the planet. Ark, however, is a company that has a focus on some other things, when it comes to Bitcoin, they are mostly focused on ETF - futures based.

Pf to think we used to toy with 10k Bitcoins in a Game then some old tards decide to crash it so they can hop in the train ... oh the Idiocracy of this world :S

Is that not a problem?  According to an earlier post (no pun intended!) the purple paint must be “placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than 3 feet from the ground or more than 5 feet from the ground.“ so if it goes right down to the ground it's not compliant.
Probably not serious, but you wouldn't want an issue on a technicality.

tl;dr: Posts painted entirely purple are more than is required.

Texas Penal Code § 30.05. Criminal Trespass

Sec 2 (D) the placement of identifying purple paint marks on trees or posts on the property, provided that the marks are:

(i) vertical lines of not less than eight inches in length and not less than one inch in width;

(ii) placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than three feet from the ground or more than five feet from the ground;  and

(iii) placed at locations that are readily visible to any person approaching the property and no more than:

(a) 100 feet apart on forest land;  or

(b) 1,000 feet apart on land other than forest land;  or

(E) the visible presence on the property of a crop grown for human consumption that is under cultivation, in the process of being harvested, or marketable if harvested at the time of entry.

Remind me again, when is the last Doge mined?
What, never? Huh, and people buy this crap at 20 cents. Makes you really wonder about the level of insanity in this world.

Oh, okay I see, it is because Doge is totally green et al while bitcoin is running on coal and diesel... makes sense.

Interesting law that Purple Paint Law. I'd expect laws like this to be relics from the 1800s, so it's surprising to read the latest implementation was just 10 years ago.
As a non-American hiker, I understand gates, wires and "no trespassing" signs. But until yesterday, I would not have guessed purple poles hundreds of meters apart mean "dare and we shoot"! Any other laws I need to know about if I ever visit Texas?

I don't want to come across as overly-clever or anything, but cleaning up that biological evidence alone, after having committing a crime like that, is not likely to work out in your favor.

You have to admire Texas.  No messing or you get shot. That's Hardcore but at least you know where you stand

.... this seems quite clear that the mark needs to end 3 to 5 feet above the ground

.... a post painted all the way to the ground is just a purple post, not a purple-marked post

... at least it's an upgrade on a rusty old pipe

I have also come to see very clearly, that the younger generations have fallen into the trap of nickel-and-diming their life and fortunes away with throwing fiat at stupid meme coins, NFTs, silly Twitch subscriptions and gifting, gaming micro-transactions and pay-to-play scams, vaping and drugs, expensive daily coffees, expensive 'alt/green food products', subscribing not to just one streaming service but literally all of them including ones they never watch, clothing delivery subscriptions, food delivery subscriptions, fast food delivery services (with insane delivery fees), buying useless, valueless fad-driven baubles and trinkets on the regular, etc.

Literally hundreds of dollars a month exiting their bank accounts on pointless, really needless micro consumption. And then they want to constantly whine and complain about having no money.

But doge has descending inflation rate enforced while fiat does not.

ie

year  as it mines x a year

1                  x doge
2                2x doge          100%      inflation
3                3x doge            50%      inflation
4                4x doge            33%      inflation
5                5x doge            25%      inflation
6                6x doge            20%      inflation
7                7x doge            16.67% inflation
8                8x doge            14.28% inflation
9                9x doge            12.50%.   "
10             10x doge.           11.11%   "
11
12
13
14
15
16
17

19
20              20x doge
21              21x doge          5%       inflation
22
23
24
25             25x doge
26             26x doge          4%       inflation
...

50             50x doge
51             51x doge         2%        inflation

100          100x doge
101          101x doge       1%        inflation in year 100


So as fucked up and shitty as Doge is it is better than fiat as its inflation rate descends year after year. And it never runs out of coins to mine


BTC is built to be rare as fuck
I have 1300th mining it every day and only get 2.386735 coins a year of which 0.5966 is mine to keep.

I know this is a BTC area and I am not a big DOGE fan as a buyer or seller of it.

But it is still viable to mine and convert to cash and BTC

    “America is the prophetic image of the rest of the urban-industrial world as it will be a few years from now – recent public opinion polls have revealed that an actual majority of young people in their teens, the voters of tomorrow, have no faith in democratic institutions, see no objection to the censorship of unpopular ideas, do not believe that government of the people by the people is possible and would be perfectly content, if they can continue to live in the style to which the boom has accustomed them, to be fueled, from above, by an oligarchy of assorted experts. That so many of the well-fed young television-watchers in the world’s most powerful democracy should be so completely indifferent to the idea of self-government, so blankly uninterested in freedom of thought and the right to dissent, is distressing but not too surprising.”

On purple paint, I haven't looked it up but have unofficially heard that it may need to be 12 inches, top to bottom to be legal. I've seen a lot of guys just throw an old tyre over a fencepost, and paint that.

For our ranch, the pipe posts every 100 ft were entirely painted purple from top to bottom.

Big, tall, girthy, permanent, tornado-resistant, heavy metal pipes, dipped in purple paint; top-to-bottom.

Is that not a problem?  According to an earlier post (no pun intended!) the purple paint must be “placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than 3 feet from the ground or more than 5 feet from the ground.“ so if it goes right down to the ground it's not compliant.

Probably not serious, but you wouldn't want an issue on a technicality.

I think he's fine. The regs are mostly about making sure that the paint is able to be seen, i.e., at roughly chest height to eye level, no high bushes or other obstructions, etc. That's because most trespassers will try to claim that they didn't or couldn't see the paint. I think his painted posts are fairly obvious, would definitely hold up in court.

i figure using both purple marks on trees and posts, as well as standard no trespassing/hunting/trapping/etc signs that have my contact info is as about as unbeatable a notice as can be reasonably expected. for example i dont have full fencing around my boundaries but it would be awful hard to not see some warning no matter what direction you approach.

i know the company i bought a stack of metal no trespassing/hunting etc signs had hints on how to secure against vandals (who would rip them down if too easily secured) , weather and time in the pack. as someone mentioned already lots of bullet holes in signs around here. signs like that are practically bullet magnets heh

EDIT a lawyer told me to take a picture of the standardized no trespassing signs with my info on it and get a newspaper and hold it so its visible in the same pic.. i was like you mean like in hostage movies where they want a current newspaper with date visible? lol
