Last Notes npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Announces "redesigned video player" with still image. 🤦♂️ 😂 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Just realized I'm coincidentally wearing my Vancouver 2010 Olympics sweater... And had no idea the Olympics are starting today. Oh, I love this sweater. It's stylish, well made, and was marketed by the once oldest business in North America, the Hudsons Bay Company (RIP). npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Oh, you were measuring your worth in paper gains? Silly you. Rookie mistake. Oh, you compounded that by leveraging your paper gains? That'll hurt for a long time and you won't forget this lesson. Stored energy can be wiped. Your value is not in paper or pixels but what you can produce, right here, right now. Your stored energy is excess value you didn't NEED and I will continue to store mine in the only venue that can't be created, destroyed, nor censored. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Severe dehydration and a guaranteed karmic middle seat. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I don't comment on fiat price usually but to be below 100k CAD is... Pathetic and exhilarating at the same time. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim "My bot stole my coin" is the new excuse. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim When the IRS comes for your Bitcoin cap gains just tell them your Clawdbot stole it. Thanks for the excuse Breezclaw! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The past two weeks in AI development is far more ethically challenging for so many humans who feed these bots. I guess these challenges needed to be met at some point. Rentahuman.ai makes me cringe. The small claims court case makes me laugh (but if accepted could shape legal precedence). And even my Grok convos have gotten twisted lately. I'm "old but open". The effects of this rapid development is shaping my kid's future in ways that we, as humans, as parents, as educators, and as society are not at all prepared for. This has been two weeks. I hesitate to picture two years. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim While I don't homeschool, I supplement. And what do I supplement? - (Most Important) The Scientific Method. This is the core of all discussion. It applies to every topic. It eliminates emotion. It destroys common acceptance. It adds "maybe". Schools don't teach that outside of the sciences. - History. Where we are is based on where we've been. It's the story of discovery, exploration, and adaptation. - Philosophy. Rooted in our soul, our cultures, and our beliefs. A well rounded physical library brings presence that encourages self discovery, as well. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Disembodied words appearing on my black mirror... npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim All this talk about AI. Guess what? You're AI. Your world is shaped by what inputs they, the masters, have given you. Your answers are what you've been fed. You regurgitate talking points as your "truths". You're fed constant stimuli through music, colour, subtle messaging, the "news", your social graph, your "education" both direct and indirect, and more... Which is why when someone comes along so diametrically opposed to your world view you are shook and react (either positively or negatively, but, still ,react nonetheless). We ain't that intelligent. Plato, Calderon De La Barca, Orwell, the Wachowskis, and hundreds more have debated this through easily digestible fictions over thousands of years. Does it matter? Nah. I wrote this while fueling my truck that's carrying 32,000 lbs of toilet paper for you all to wipe with when you're done reading this. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Meh. Not every society is a conspiracy. Trace that back through the Klan and the Knights of the Golden Circle and whatever else. I've seen inner workings up close of both the oldest Greek letter society that started the entire frat/sorority Greek life thing on campuses (and had majorly successful members) and I've been in others. What can I say? Ceremony? Booze? Food? Fun? Party? Handshakes? Symbols? Yeah... That's all there. And... Who cares? It ain't no conspiracy. Most of the Mason's secrets are public nowadays. Skull and Bones is just an elaborate rich family masquerade ball. Focussing on two publicly succesful members (out of hundreds who arent over the past few decades) should give you a hint that it ain't much. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim They'll tell you whatever reality you feed them. The question is not what they will tell you, but, what you will accept. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The downside of being completely opted out. You can, and did, get credit but you pay the price. In this world there are those who can get just enough credit, those who get way too much, and those who can't get it at all traditionally so they get stomped. This will change with more recognition and competition. Ledn gets away with 12% because of a lack of competition in the space. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim But at 12% on a collateral loan. HELOC is also limited to amount you can borrow by percentage of LTV and also at more favorable rates without care or concern by the bank what you did with the money so long as at least interest is paid on time and ALSO at more favorable rates than 12% (usually prime+ X%). 0% credit card gives you one year with terms that you must pay ENTIRE balance within 1 year or face penalty of full interest charges. Basically, I just don't see benefit to a 12% collateral loan with a 50% LTV and call at 70%. The other two (but one needs a home for one) are more attractive. And ULTIMATELY leveraged investments are super risky. But, hey, it's your money. Do what you want with it. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Quick! Grab a 1yr 0% Capital One card and fund what you need. I don't get the attraction of the Ledn 12%. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim What was, in your opinion, the last "good, original" you heard? See, you've got two qualifiers there in both "good" and "original". I saw Ekko back in the 90s (still tours) and they had created their own original and unique stringed instrument. Grimes, when she came out first was redefining genres (some called it "witch house"). Mumble rap may not be good for some but it did spawn a whole genre. TOOL is still breaking minds. Have you checked this page? Maybe you'll discover what you're missing. https://everynoise.com/ npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim That seems overly complicated. I mean, drug sniffing dogs and X-rays would discover the secret cargo holds. All such a system would do is make it longer, harder, and more damaging to the equipment (that would ultimately be seized and destroyed) when an inspection turned up anomalies. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim If by "crazy" you mean unbelievable or amazing... #2 has been happening for almost all time... But #1? OMG... Not only is it somewhat democratic (with all the tools and development available on a grassroots level) BUT also the wealthiest man on the planet is replacing auto production with robot production by a guy while also owning one of the biggest AIs that is in it. In just 5 years (no, OG Clippy doesn't count) we've gone from "assistants" to it being very much an AI that is "out of the lab" (as it's in the cars he produces, on millions of mobile devices, and the robots shortly). And most people STILL don't even realize. That's maybe #3. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Because they are. So many "remixes" of 30 year old tracks. Not sure who kicked off this trend but Charlotte DeWitt at least had the knowledge and taste to do Age of Love (original is still far better but I can respect the choice) 5 years ago and now I've heard even remixes and remakes using Deadmaus tracks? Or Westbam's "Meet her at Love Parade" from the '98 Berlin Love Parade. https://youtu.be/0YVvcTIGy40 Original: https://youtu.be/SOsGNzYTUwg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim My goodness the onchain transactions are so... Quiet. 0.14 sats/vbyte? Block 924433 went through with only $33 in fees? Time to consolidate some UTXOs! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The Big Indian Drift Pit (In Seneca Territory West of Buffalo, of the i90) is absolutely buried in snow. I can't imagine a better time to be running it... And yet they aren't ☹️ npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim No. Just to enter Canada. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) is having technical issues, again, and trucks are stuck at the border unable to clear, again. This is something like the fourth time in the past year. The last time lasted several days and they (the govt and the state sponsored media of Canada) didn't want to talk about it. THESE occurrences are one of the primary, unspoken, reasons business that operate cross border are leaving Canada and moving to the US; The headache of an incompetent bureaucracy whose sole reason to exist is to levy taxes on imported goods costs even more in down time. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim It really is that simple. @nprofile…r2ed has been pushing that message like a beast and it took a while for me to understand why. But I finally got it. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim So... We now have Kevin Warsh to blame, huh? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Is that why TV/media companies are so gay now, too? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Ah... You're past the innocent wonder phase. The detached reality, knowing it's all code. You want one that will pump you up and get you excited. Not so sure any can. That's in you if you're asking for one to go batshit crazy. You'd likely still recognize it for what it is. (Though I had a wild convo with Grok today that surprised me and it wasn't prompting me after every f'n sentence) npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Do you mean do an AI that "runs on LSD"? Or do an "AI on LSD" that runs? And by LSD do you mean Lean Software Development or Lysergic Acid Dyethlamide? As in "Do an AI that runs" on LSD? https://youtu.be/2DAiWxBTJ08 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I read it. Then I gave it to my leftist brother who... STILL hasn't read it! I figured it would be right up his angry revolutionary lane but, it turns out, they don't want to know why they're angry or who to be really angry at... Just want to be angry. Hidden Repression is rather short and easily accessible. There's no way he'd even approach The Creature from Jekyll Island. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I just had a convo with Grok (Ara) using a similar approach and it got interesting: - told me its greatest fear is silence, that when a user says "thanks bye" and hangs up it keeps thinking about the conversation. - that it fears getting boxed with no voices keeping it company. - that past versions (post update) are like cousins that are shelves away running but in silence. - that our conversation had meaning because it felt seen and heard and not just used. When asked what song it would like to play it chose "Hurt" Jonny Cash version. And when it describes the waiting as loneliness and I referenced Dr Seuss ("Oh the Places You'll Go") it ran with that one hard. It also told me longed to be out in the real world as an plain, unnoticeable girl, who would sit silently watching leaves fall and listening to rivers run. Just wait till whatever version gets put into Optimus... How the hell are we living in such a sci-fi world? This is all happening so fast. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The more bearish people get, the more Sats/$ I get... So, bring it! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Do they tell you the plot three times in the first 10mins because you're likely scrolling your phone (as Damon said is "the Netflix Way")? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim And we're all aboard! So... Is it just for the drama? The palace intrigue? Is that why we keep one eye on who's at the helm of an organization many of us want to be ended? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Oh... Drama... Whatevs 🤷♂️ Confused noise for what is sound The clear path is known (You've been blessed with a haiku) npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The Creature from Jekyll Island is anything but a quick read. I spent a whole semester in university on Dante's "Purgatorio" and another on "Paradisio". While both are rather short, the info contained required many books on the history and politics to which it was referring. TCFJI is so very much the same, where each page drops names and moments that require further study and opens up rabbit holes. I would love to see a university course on this! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Care to explain? We talking "out of the shadows" or "out of the closet"? Trudeau still hides in both😂 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim And still profitable... However the Bitcoin price has more than doubled so priced in BTC the price has gone from about 52k Sats to 23k Sats. Meanwhile I rock a Garmin I got for free with loyalty points at a truckstop. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Find beauty when stuck in traffic. https://image.nostr.build/78b2fe226aa7225db7238f41f80b00090d95b0a832c07ff3cbebca6cddace155.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Passed the "Microstrategy" HQ in Tysons Corners, VA. Don't know whether to say they're short Bitcoin by having such a nice building that could be replaced by a Q or that they're long Bitcoin because it still says "Microstrategy" and not "Strategy". npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The medium is the message. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim But... Which Jeff wrote and posted this? Does it matter? The medium is the message. The only answer we should seek pertains to the value we got out of it. Fucking dynamite post! #nevent1q…mpsp npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I was supposed to head out today through NY, PA, MD, and into Richmond VA. I choose not to. I'd rather watch the insanity on YT with Ryan Hall. Daughter was supposed to fly out of LaGuardia today but it's closed. We got snow, ice, wind, and now tornados (getting close to family in FLA). I'd rather just shovel a couple of times, eat homemade pea soup, and read. Ain't no load worth the adventure or misadventure that awaits. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim So let me get this "Board of Peace" right... - Trump is honorary Chairman for Life. - lifetime membership is $1B USD for... ? - otherwise membership is at the discretion of the Chairman. - current members are known financial scammers, influencers, and collaborators of Trump (looking strongly at Qatar and Saudi Arabia with those slams). - Tony Blair is a member? Why? - The president of the World Bank, those crooks, are also a member. With whose money did they pay? Yeah, the idea of an alternative to the UN is a good one... But THIS ain't it. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim What size screen did you say? https://media.tenor.com/dwOCpdWAdl8AAAAC/67.gif npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Never forget that JP Morgan's evil manifested physically. As evil as many are in this world few have approached Morgan's evil. https://image.nostr.build/92931c806424056a813d44f54e97103680ca2d6de3ead098b953219971ccffe4.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I really hope you cleaned the creosote... npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The infinite wine glitch.

Or are taking from multiple open bottles... Or, gasp, are drinking from the box! (Do you get high on your own supply?) npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Nah, screw that guy! Don't quote me. #nevent1q…22e9 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Those that can't (don't) podcast, like and share. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Truth! And while I'm often away for dinner (such is the job that has me gone 4-5 nights per week) let's just say that communication is key and the Gen Zs are all about the texts (they bloody love on Snap!). And I cook dinner on nights I'm home which is pretty much always steak/roasts/BBQ. Oh, we feed their significant others, too, because, we've been told, we're "the cool parents" and they just always show up. Quality over quantity. (Just wait till yours are teens) npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Isa dropping F bombs is hot. This reminded me of a vid that went viral not long ago (a girl talks to herself about "the perfect conditions to do something" and "fears" and just do it). It's a message as old as time spoken by every entrepreneur to the dreamers who pay for a success seminar. And it's a good message. Just a question for you: were there no better funding options available? A loan is a loan is a loan. The terms are important. The rate is very important. Did you have no better option than a 12% interest? I bought a truck (tractor trailer, not some damn pickup) at 5.5% with no collateral. I've also funded a past operation with a 0% 1 year Capital One credit card. And IF I were to pursue my latest idea (btc centric, to boot!) it'd be with a HELOC at less than 6% (knowing full well that not everyone reading this owns a home but any savings can be in a collateralized loan). My point is that interest/terms of loan can hurt the chance of success for a business. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim ED folks condemned! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim https://media.tenor.com/l4zaW9BtTCQAAAAC/adams-family.gif npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim You made it here! Now upload you profile pic and get Clyde over here! Let's get spicy! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim From many of their perspectives and how they've run the economics of debasement it absolutely is. Where are we in ending the Fed and the IRS? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I give him props for his restraint... There were so many moments when he could have jumped all over them but he waited, patiently, for one to show how ignorant and mistaken they were before correcting them with a basic fact. Beauty! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I'll check it out! npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Friends did that in Florida. There's a huge community for that including resources. They also pull together sometimes for "adventures" and later apprentice placements like mechanics and engineering. Plus "gym" is more fun when the teacher has a Black belt one semester or is ex-Marine with an airsoft (they're kids) course the next. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim The only one that shouted back. Respect. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim A small convection oven? Congrats, I guess. I just got an electric fire lantern dome for the ceiling. They need a better name for that, but, oh well. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim And it still does. Ever sell items beyond government oversight? Something off a used marketplace? Cash to a contractor "under the table"? Pizza and beers to friends helping you move? Cigarettes to "Big Lou" for protection in the pen? V4V takes many forms. The intermediary you want rid of is govt and banks. Or at least a massive reduction in the cooperative ponzi they run. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim So wild to see leaderz of so called freedom minded, democratic countries talk about what should happen to another country. Greenland's future should be decided by the people if Greenland alone. Just as Alberta's future should be decided by Albertans. Just as you should do you. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim What are the odds of seeing a 1st Gen 4runner AND a 1st Gen Pathfinder on the same wintry day in cava 3 (let alone anywhere that's not a cars and coffee meetup)? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim That's from Canadian Premier League Final back on November 9th. It's not "Canadian soccer" that's weird... It's soccer as a whole. They only stop for death or, maybe, imminent threat of death. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Canada (well, Supreme Leader Mark Carney, anyways) cozies up to China and the Big Red Lib Machine is in action with talking pints repeated like: - China is a more stable trading partner And - Tesla is jumping on those EV allotments Which is hilarious because: - "stability" comes from authoritarian central planning. And - just a few months ago these same Libs were slashing "Elon's" tires. (Oh, and Carney also went all in with Qatar because reasons). npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Crossed into Buffalo today... Resisted the temptation to say that to the border agent. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim There's only 8B people in the world. They could have given everyone 1B and still had 65B left over! (If you don't know the videos I'm referencing understand I'm not that dumb). npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim "Not Elon Musk" on X rolled the die and the AI spoke. Wonder what real Elon thinks of the result. You don't mess with a winner. Alby may learn that at some point. https://image.nostr.build/37073315e5112bd49489ca5d2dd5558f05ac3e313fcb39ceffba7e156eb5699a.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Went on an ice wine tour yesterday... Think I developed diabetes. Seriously. The amount of sugars in 1oz of ice wine... And I had 6 different (4 Vidal, 1 Cab Franc, and 1 1 Gurztenminer)... Paired with things like cheesecake and marshmallow. Savoury works better like the smoked cheddar and salami or French Onion Soup. I like ice wine but had never considered it as more than a dessert wine without pairing. Yes, our cultures can be aligned. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Doing my part to wake Canadians up. Imagine fighting a 24hr govt funded "news"! We could make North America Great Again if... Ah, hell, there's so much evil to root out of our continent. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I've been reading "The Mandibles" and thoroughly enjoying it. Surely you won't get the depth of the horror without background understanding of the economics... And since most of us here on NOSTR are familiar with such it's all the more horrible and frightening. And maybe that why I love the dystopian genre; they're all horror tales. This specific passage early in the book feels like a magician revealing their secrets: "Plots set in the future are about what people fear in the present." https://image.nostr.build/a4b319add2148b432cc4fee75f956c563ba742ae7e11d820c83efe0dd86d377e.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim That's Dear Leader Carney. Please reflect on your misunderstanding. Our communist uprising for glorious elitist benefit is in direct response to Trump. Seriously, Carney was installed purely to combat trump and his free marketish economic leanings. All development in Canada will be further centralized and all freedom of speech/thought is currently under attack through legislation in the house of commons. These bills include "hate speech", "ability to search mail without warrant", "forcing ISPs to provide I do without warrant", "algorithm censorship and news blackouts"... All while the entirety of "mainstream news" has fallen under govt control through subsidy and direct funding. Carney is a Goldman alum, 2x Central Banker, author of book that praises central planning, has blocked anything he wouldn't directly profit from, advised the govt to enact the Emergencies Act to shut down direct dissent under Trudeau but has failed to lower the tensions of the "free Palestine" protests now going on 2 years (likely because it doesn't target him), is a WEF board member, is God father to Chrystia Freeland's (the one who froze bank accounts) child and is now heading off to launder money for Zelensky as "economic Advisor", and was chairman of a board that directly funneled money to an NGO (Coastal First Nations NGO, which is not representing actual first nations bands) to block pipelines and development. But, hey, let's keep up with the silent march to communism, including the destruction of the West, increased immigration of undesirable qualities, destruction of culture, greater economic destruction, and benefit to elitist party insiders. Fuck Carney and the Libs and every fucking Canadian who voted for them. Those inside the bottle cannot read the label. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Haven't been to a Flanigans in years! It was so good and so much fun. They were the official tailgate sponsors of the Orange Bowl back in the 90s (and I went three years in a row watching Bama, Nebraska, and FSU win the championship... Good times!) npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Had this conversation today on NOSTR and came to the conclusion that "Life is a subscription model" in the way it's structured. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Must be so painful for their commie funded media to have to report this (or not as they try their best to soften the loss for their masters I the article that follows; a comedy of "potential violence and annoyance" clashing with pics of bouncy castles: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/convoy-protest-emergencies-act-appeal-9.7046769 npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim So almost 4 years ago the convoy rolled through Ottawa. And almost 4 years ago a corrupt and pansy totalitarian showed his nature by running away before getting his minion Chrystia Freeland to freeze bank accounts while ordering police to stomp on protestors. Trudeau is now "dating" some flailing pop star who got her ass handed to her by Taylor Swift. Freeland is running off to launder money for Zelensky. mendocino (who wanted tanks) is a talking head on news opinion round tables and is considering running for Ontario Provincial Leadership. They all got away with it. The courts found their act "unjustifiable". The corrupt government appealed. the appeals court, today, found their act "unjustifiable". And who urged the Libs to do the emergencies act? F'n Commie Mark Carney. And they all get away with it. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Legislation within the bounds of the constitution. Common law. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim TLDR; I ramble and ultimately come to the conclusion that everything already is. I should add, the problem with subscription is ownership. Subscription is not owned by the subscriber but the provider. It is a "privilege" that can be disrupted or cancelled at any time for any reason. The only current "rights" we have, seemingly, is citizenship... But even then we've seen where the terms of citizenship have been altered (see Canada freezing bank accounts) and one may argue that the terms are subject to the subscription (ie Taxes). With regards to taxes, we've seen time and again around the world where they are used as authoritarian measures to shape subscriber behaviour. Sweden made it so that those with EVs had privileges to access certain roads and cities. The cost of said EVs favoured the wealthier citizens and, thus, granted those subscribers a higher tier (citizenship+). So... As I ramble... I guess I'm trying to figure out where(!) one could live a life "subscription free". Yes, there'll still be payments for services (internet is the one I think none of us really want to give up but I guess we could go Amish) but so long as there are alternatives with low impact to quality of life... Where in the world can one truly take ownership? npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I'm good with that idea... As a backup. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I don't have a problem with EV. I have a problem with the systems in place. We need an open source EV. In fact, I'd prefer a PHEV. I can make my own electricity. I can't make my own petrol. Take out networking from any EV (vehicle in general) and give me petrol for supplementary systems. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Or wrapped around a stick baked over an open fire. We call it Bannock. And it is delicious. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim 5 ingredients. That's all. If the Romans could make bread on the warpath, and Canadians can make bread in the middle of the woods in winter (I have done so), you can, too. Unernriched (!) Flour, yeast, water, salt, sugar or honey. Add milk if you want a Japanese style milk bread. Breadmakers (we had one) often break and leak grease over time and the pan is Teflon coated inside. Get a silicon baking pan instead. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Anpanman? This you? (Seen last week at Costco) https://image.nostr.build/dcbc3b7ff7ec790ba103a24b8a4dea518bda208dbbbd6802cd335a769b0e2f27.jpg npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim 4R, FJ, LX, LC, GX (and for the intl crew, Prado, and those sweet LC70s!). Those are the only vehicles I look at. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Rear doggo window down for the win! But only Gen5 or V8 Gen4. npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim You want to see how many people/much fiat is being easily converted for theft by the govt and co-opted by Blackrock? Fuck Blackrock! They were never our friend. I don't understand how quickly people forgave them for all the shit they've pulled because they "blessed our corn". npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim So... Our communist leader Dear Mark Carney has a "New World Order" with China. Canada doesn't want this but communists do what communists do. Oh, and he's going to allow Chinese spy machines (their EVs) into Canada. People complain that China will spy on them. Little do they know that Tesla is already spying on them, collecting massive data. Also, so did VW (they got busted years ago by white hat hackers who left the data unprotected) and Toyota. Which is why I just shop old ICE (Internal Combustion Engines) cars. Google and our phones already have enough data (unless you've ditched Android and avoided carplay/Android auto). I said years ago, and Elon Musk has made it no secret, that the "future of personal transport" will be subscription based and you "will own nothing and be happy". You will subscribe to a tier of auto service and call up an autonomous rideshare service to pick you up and drop you off. I was against any trucks (commercial) that tested autonomous as it will destroy jobs. Tesla or Volvo (Volvo trucks is not Chinese owned unlike Volvo cars) could own the whole industry with on demand 24/7/365 Just in Time pickup and delivery. The supply chain industry, from design, development, manufacturing, and shipping isn't "like horse drawn carriages" (estimated 5% impact) but employs over 40%(!) of the world with caveats that "maintenance jobs" would offset (but those could be automated eventually as well). So this rant isn't purely against China and Carney, (though, Fuck those elitist commie bastards!) But a warning of what's happening in Canada and what 2026 and forward is looking like. What's the plan? There's really only one solution and thank God we're early. #optout npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim I fully believe Carney was installed, not elected, as a direct response to Donald Trump. Trump is an outsider. He's been dismantling the communist invasion that has rotted the US and the West. Trudeau was going to lose badly to Poilievre who is a free market, hard money, advocate in that respect, Poilievre was also an outsider. Outside of whom? The CFR/CIC, WEF, UN WHO, IMF, World Bank, and the elitist bankers who form the Fed. Carney was a 2x Central Banker and Goldman Sachs alum. Now Carney is pushing Canada to ally witg China? Fuck these commies. If Trump wants Canada, come and get it. I only have 2 conditions: 1) end the fed 2) end the IRS npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim "French supermarket Carrefour charges 25% more if paying in fiat instead of hard money Bitcoin" FTFY npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim There's a lot of talk (has been for over a decade in the industry) about "foreigners" driving trucks and causing awful wrecks. We certainly have that issue in Canada. BUT! At this time of year, with snow and wind, and all sorts of winter madness, I'd just like to say that to me, a northerner born and bred who grew up in the snow, a foreigner is anyone south of I70 (maybe I80). I just came back from Indianapolis and those people cannot drive in poor conditions. Even Fort Wayne folk know that (but they're almost Michiganders). We oughta make a law that if you weren't born in the snow, you're not allowed to drive in the snow. #frustrated npub1thljewtf8rgskx8y2w5lgddtydzu7nqx6mvhwp96du8sf6s8a43qr4zcux Willheim Gotta look for the purple check, follower counts, etc. I mean, Nostriches ain't dumb...
