Had a Mama and 2 cubs walk from the woods through my garden a few years back and then just walk straight up the street like they owned the place, Lol

A few years back, when I was a kid, I watched many bears around here, but as civilization comes, they are disappearing, and nature is also dying, but no one cares because it's all about money and power.

Deer are far more scary.

Deer mass murder Americans every year.

Worse yet they do it kamakazi style diving through your cars windshield and killing you  with antlers and or hooves.

I survived a collision with one in 1998. I still get ptsd with visions of a smashed windshield and a dead deer on my car seat.

I survived because it was a female so it had no antlers. Also it died on impact so it could not kick me to death.


Deer kill rate is 10 fold that of bears.

After quick search the  kill rate is
 20x to 1
 not 10x to 1

Trump Manipulator, Elon Alien, and Nvidia Ceo has officially landed in China...

What can be the expected result of their meeting, guys?

Any guesses?

The most obvious thing would be opening up more sales from their US companies in China. I’m sure there are concerns from both sides that can be addressed together with a discussion. Both sides would probably also like some assurances that global disputes won’t affect their business relationship.

Hmm, agreed. But honestly, I am expecting more as they should also discuss some ways to end ongoing wars (e.g, Iran-America, Russia-Ukraine), whose consequences the whole world is suffering in the form of inflation. But a more concerning problem these days is the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which is the major reason why the inflation rate is damaging internationally.

Trumps move of  using Iran to close the strait is crushing China bigly.

It is also crushing all of Europe.

He will keep Iran on a string to hurt both China and all of Europe as this is his end plan.

Tap out Europe and china.

Early reports out of China seem to indicate that for the Americans, this meeting is about expanding sales of their goods in China. On the other side of the coin, for China, this meeting is about their coming invasion of Taiwan and how that will affect US relations moving forward. I hope my TSM stock will be OK. It’s been on a hell of a run…

it pretty common, and these are black bears and are pretty chill if not threatened. some have tags visible on an ear that means they are considered known more or less "nuisance bears" that basically just are opportunist feeders.

they come and go, and ive found one bird feeder like 300 feet away in the woods. all the part were there its like he knew how to open it without even damaging it.

wilderbeasts are cool

Just remember deer are vicious killer willing to commit suicide to whack  people.

Bear are less of an issue.

Deer whacking people count in 2024 = 204 people
Bears whacking people count in 2024 = 9 people

had several very close encounters with deer in my time.. and its not even like all that emergency super duper antilock collision avoidance system on new cars can do much either

like, a thousand pound of meat and bone wait until youre 10 feet away at 50 MPH to.......   jump into your car.


yeah no thanks

I picked up some pretty cool swag at the conference. This artist did 40 hand-painted variations of this:

https://talkimg.com/images/2026/05/02/UyKCVD.png

Then you probably don't know but among Counterparty kids this is a pretty big deal:

https://talkimg.com/images/2026/05/02/UyKQDf.png

The original painting for that card was sold with its companion piece at auction for ₿0.327...

I went to a few talks. The quantum stuff was kind of interesting... its neither here nor there at the moment... get it? I also realized NOSTR has a lot of potential in the future.

At one point I sat down in a talk with Eric Trump & 2 other suits. That was boring, as was Jack Mallers talking about low interest rates for bitcoin lending. I think this event established the term "suitcoiner." Too much ETF this, treasury that, fund this. Half the audience was wearing a suit. But they are Bitcoin too.

Oh, and I went to a talk with the guy who draws banks on fire. That was pretty good.

Sounds really interesting, I love the art... I'm also an artist, how do you thing my work will cost?

What would you want for items that do not have any btc content or shit-coin content.

They would not be an item of great desire on a website like this.

What about this...?

$82k proves to be a tough nut to crack.

We had Vegeta @ $9k.

Now we have Vegeta² @ $81k.

These ant pump/dumps are getting boring.

Mmmm. Vegeta.



Too bad he's left-handed. Otherwise it's a perfect W.O.

Like this?

Now compare them with mosquitos who killed 760,000 people in 2024!  Even freshwater snails kill more than 10,000 people per year!  I bet you didn't know you had to be more worried about freshwater snails than bears.

Some other interesting animal kill stats...  Snakes at 100,000 people killed in 2024, dogs chiming in at around 30,000 people...

As for deer...  An overwhelming number of human deaths are a result of car accidents, not deer attacks (which account for less than 8 deaths per year).

Black bears are friends.  I come into close contact with wild black bears pretty routinely in Tahoe.  They don't even take a second look at you.  I've passed right by a mother and her cubs on a hiking trail and it was like I didn't exist to them.

You beat me to it. I remember getting some ripple in a giveaway a long, long time ago. I immediately converted it all to a better cryptocurrency. Wondering if anyone here can guess which one?

I was given something like 4,000,000 Ripples in the beginning of their launch.  No idea what happened to them when Ripple magically turned into XRP.  I still wonder if somewhere on some Ripple claim website I have millions of dollars just sitting there.  Something tells me it was taken by the Ripple team long ago.  I still have no idea how Ripples became XRP or what I was supposed to do at the time.  Oh well...
