Gm nostriches, over visiting #mumstr with the family for an extended family thanksgiving style dinner. Catching a few moments of peace with #coffeechain served in a deliberately quiet way. Really starting to be indifferent towards the last leg (less funny and too leftie). Looked forward to watching “mr green” on it last night, but outside a few pithy one liners, he was a bit dull. The tax the billionaires was his first policy line (hmmm, no.1 policy is stealing from the most productive?). Then interestingly, my mother (generally into politics) didn’t know who he was. The comment on this pic feels pure lowest common denominator, “yeah he says stuff that sounds good and takes stuff away from people I envy and I say are bad”. The comments on climate were laughable, “we don’t need nuclear” but zero mention of batteries, oh and wind technology is technically much older that nuclear, but no one ever points that out. Also, who pays for all the stimulus you’re handing out, business and the rich will leave in droves!!!! Envy of politics is a really slippery slope towards destruction, whoa, a touch dark, but it’s a deadly sin, view it as such. @Peter McCormack just getting into Ant Middleton, hmmm, better not have him start to play in the car this weekend, lots of lefties could be triggered.
Gm nostriches, quiet moments of the day with my #coffeechain with @BTC Sessions in my ear, repo rates appear to be picking up something ain’t right, silent IPO (great read @Guy Swann) is well underway, and we ended a 134 day streak over $100k, but also I grabbed some sub£80k sats (2020 self losing his shit). Take is easy freaks, get you house in order and following listening to @npub1w4ds...3vhw with Mr R Gnome, maybe consider putting the latest version of knots in a similar group to core v30. Can someone please “just” (appreciate it is a massive task) take v29 and gradually add security fixes as they some into the latest version……. Hmmmm, is it time for me to get out my 2002 lecture material on c++ coding?!?!? #catstr unfussed. Local pumpkins turning on their own kind.
Gm nostriches, the day of meetings is now behind, I told my department they needed more integrity (let’s see how that turns out, is using AI worth selling your integrity for?!?!?*), so now my Thursday can begin, #coffeechain one complete, reply to “family finance” to offset my communism comment from yesterday done; debasement, bitcoin and deflation were all included, let’s see the response. Today, serious work, hopefully find some time to cut some trees down, time on the bike may have to wait for another week, 😫 *oh and the integrity element is in my new article with @Stackchain ⛓ Magazine !!!! With a reference to @M A D E X on what one should consider when offered a deal many couldn’t refuse. Respect sir! 🫡🙌 image
Gm nostriches, the day ahead is a sea of meetings , from 11 straight through until 4, maybe with a free lunch, but a presentation I have to give in one (will be going to touch rogue). Apologies for returning to the “pre-budget” speech of yesterday, but had a thought and just had to share it. Income tax increase, no bother, I work less, but what most can’t escape from is the incoming wave of inflation, so I that regards, all is good. Brits need #bitcoin so badly right now and they are currently clueless, gaslit by now linking “crypto mining” to Andrew and Fergie and a company that went bust, may well have been accurate but the timing stinks and reflects the British media’s negative slant, but then again they want everyone to stay within the prison of gbp and rampant inflation., #coffeechain
Ga nostriches, they never come out quite a short and succinct as I’d planned, but at least I’ve attempted to back things up where I can. Given we’ve moved into the budget danger zone of everything being the eternal Schroedinger’s cat (simultaneously on and out of the budget), thought it was worth putting some ideas out there. It isn’t about the wealth anymore, it is not knowing what could come next and there are people cheering for it and they haven’t considered the consequences. A country that Villainises the wealthy and breeches property rights isn’t a place you want to be.
Cheers @Implausible Deniability , so ms reeves is thinking of putting up a 20% barrier/hurdle for the wealthy and productive wanting to leave a country looking to take 50% plus of their earnings every year, and quash them with regulations and expensive energy for a measly £2bn a year………… When they’ve borrowed £66bn in the first 6 months of the year. Oh my, they’re putting this shit out there, but it is miles away from actually being able to solve anything, so hat tip @Lyn Alden, “nothing stops this train”, and while my house or my pension remain more than or equal to 20% of my assets, we’re all good, and I won’t be looking over my shoulder on the way out. They’re just assets tied up in the system, ballast to be jettisoned. image
