  1. Yea, sorry. That's fair. I can just understand being proud of your daughter in that moment, however humbling the moment was for you.
  2. This is some awesome shit Mac, thank you for sharing. This has to be a great feeling that you are doing an amazing job in raising your daughter and you are doing the right thing.
  3. 80 degrees in east Texas today. The concrete and the windows on the house are all sweaty. Yuk
  4. Yea, those phones look old af
  5. I just ordered a few things. I like your style dude.
  6. Moar pics @troph! That looks awesome, it's on my bucket list.
  7. I'll just put this right here. No particular reason.
  8. Yea, this. I'm glad this dude saw the light, but why do they have to touch the stove to actually admit that the motherfucker is hot!? Maddening.
  9. Made it through another Nape unscathed. I drove back home this morning and skipped going to the floor at all. Pretty decent turnout and it was good to see a lot of people face to face that I hadn't seen in a few years.

    Yea man, I was able to sort it out and appreciate you bringing this to our attention!
  11. Yea, I think I have a Lamson reel on my 5 wt TFO. I've got a 7wt TFO rod and reel for bass fishing and it's fine for what I'm trying to do with it. I don't think I'd take it to go catch reds though.
  12. TFO is worth a look too. They aren't in the same class as some of the high dollar rods, but I feel like they punch above their weight for the price for sure. https://tforods.com/fly-fishing/
  13. According to who? If I can pay $300 in gas to avoid weeks of providing meaningless docs so some clerk at the title company can check a box, pay ~$1,000+ for title insurance, and I never have to leave my office to complete the transaction in a few minutes? Sign me the fuck up. It's not a shitty deal just because you say it is lol. There's definitely space to improve a number of different currently used "systems" using this tech. I'm not sure why you can't see that or won't admit it. It's far from perfect, but a lot of the socially accepted systems of ownership we are using currently are f'n clown shoes.
  14. Will keep watching. I'm a real estate investor as well and I find the process of buying new real estate to be horribly inefficient, time consuming, and generally a PITA. With every transaction I find myself thinking that there has to be a better way. It's just that it became the socially acceptable transfer of ownership to have that piece of paper in a file at the courthouse, sign my name 50 times, pay title insurance (f'n scam), etc. NFTs are a still very young and constantly changing and expanding into new applications. Dan is taking a snapshot and shitting all over it because it's not perfect right now - at least that is what it feels like to me. I'm more intrigued by what NFTs can become than by what they are at the moment.
  15. I watched the first half of the video above so far and will have to finish the rest later. Dan seems to really like the smell of his own farts...but he does make a lot of valid points. Where I'd disagree with him is that NFTs are only collectables/ponzi/great fool schemes. Similar to what gyro says above, there are a lot of other practical applications for NFTs that Dan doesn't discuss (or maybe I didn't get there yet). I could agree that the NFT collectable/jpeg Ape side of NFTs are a fad that will fade away. But as a way to efficiently pool funds very quickly and share ownership in something, I think they are here to stay. DAOs are very interesting to me as well and I fail to see the downside in them at this point.
  16. Fucking amazing story. Thank you for taking the time and effort to get all that into this form so we could share it with you. Also, here's an amateur sketch of Klaus, probably:
  17. I'm still sticking with my consistent eth buys. Think I'll buy another bit today.
  18. Damn. You are right, the vast majority of Americans cannot even fathom this level of emotional/mental scarring. Even those American families who have lost loved ones fighting overseas were not all consumed by it like the Germans were. It was overseas, not here surrounding all facets of their being for years and years. My dad worked for a German pipe mill for quite a while when I was growing up and would travel with clients over to visit the mills a couple times a year. The clients would inevitably want to visit Holocaust sites and I can remember my dad telling me about how his German counterparts would try to discourage this and how full of shame they were about it.
  19. Fascinating, thank you for the perspective. I can understand their mistrust of US foreign policy, but if I was in their position, I'd be much more resentful of Russia using my energy security as a pawn in their geopolitical games. At least I think I would, impossible to say I guess.
  20. @Shady Ray do the people in your circle consider the decision to bail on nuclear a colossal fuck up as well? I've never been well read on this subject, but I just can't fathom a conscious decision to become MORE reliant on Russia for energy by moving away from nuclear before replacing it with something else.
  21. Hell yea, one of my prized possessions tbh.
  22. As soon as things start getting a little heated these MAGATs start smearing shit all over themselves and the walls with the LGB chant. All riled up and looking to be assbags at the first opportunity.
  23. Buying some $RAIDER at current prices and staking it is decent lotto ticket. I sold a little bit of it at $6 during the last run but am still holding quite a bit - most of it given to me for being early to the game and owning the characters before the coin existed.
  24. Agreed. I wish we could go sideways for a bit, but I don't think that is in the cards. The supply crunch is here.
