12HPXH…UW7G

2020!

One of these days I'll get an old, bulletproof diesel but I'm not a competent enough mechanic yet to wrench on a fixer-upper.

Maybe it wasn't the scams we destroyed, but the ones we adopted along the way.

25HP Kawi, not sure on the torque. No 4WD but it does have a locking rear diff.

Not quite a subcompact, kinda in the x500-x700 series if equating to a Deere.

How many products on this list do you use at least monthly?

I would guess, for most people, two - @5300 and @15284.

That's a ~12% brand awareness/adoption rate. Is this normal for VC? I honestly don't know.

just bought a tractor ama

So glad we've purged most of the Qoomers and Sooners at this point.

There was an unsettling amount of overlap.

lmao tell that to Peter Todd

The real story is that BTC allows for double-spends at the protocol level with the inclusion of RBF.

Block reorgs are uncommon but part of the protocol.

Definitely. Also looking forward to manure that can be directly applied to the garden, unlike our mounds of chicken shit.

Hahaha LN and Liquid are 200+ marketcap coins if evaluated as their own chain.

Even Bitcoin Gold has a higher TX count and double the liquidity.

Interestingly, I went to the show with this experiment in mind and brought enough gold fractionals to make near-exact change.

Booth operators still preferred silver.

$50 1980 high is what, nearly $200 on an inflation-adjusted basis?

I agree with your sentiment but have been hearing people talk about silver's "true" price for 10 years now. Clearly a heavily manipulated asset class.

Went to a gun show this weekend and tried to cut some deals in alt-currencies.

Only one dude was willing to trade in gold. Plenty were open to accepting silver. Crypto was, unsurprisingly, a laughingstock.

Ammo more liquid than all these "currencies".

For sure. I was a bit surprised that more people wanted silver than gold.

As a psychological indicator, it was telling. Far more people envision (and invest in) upheaval than alternate economic systems.

Passing like ships in the night! We decided to greatly expand our animal husbandry and feed operation this year and keep the garden modest.

Animal protein inflation was a big factor. Did pick up a greenhouse, though!

Ahh, should've thought of @27 ! I just associate her with horses in my mind haha.

No issues per se, but considering adding a pair of Alpine x Nigerian Dwarf crosses to our farm for dairy and breeding and wondering what to look for in good stock.

Any Twetchers have experience raising goats?

Technology prices are historically the only consumer good that defies inflation. Industrial goods, food, commodities, etc. do not.

Have you ever asked why, though?

I bought a 16QT pressure canner in late 2019 for $75 and can't find the same model for less than $115 today.

Inflation in self-reliance goods is far outpacing even the Chapwood Index or ShadowStats rate.

You cannot have the fractional reserve Gilded Age without the Panic of 1907, and without the Panic of 1907, there is no Fed.

Rockefeller-financed Mises was covering their tracks with historical revisionism imho. Have you read Eustace Mullins by chance?

The European Gold Standard being forced upon the bimetallic New World certainly created a wealth effect in the late-1800s.

But it simultaneously paved the way for commercial bank fractional reserves and gutted American monetary might (silver).

Localized freedom or globalized serfdom.

You can only have one.

Protip for my Twetch brethren:

Do not "opt out" of TSA scanners. Instead, state you have a medical condition preventing you from lifting your hands above your head. TSA calls this a "medical assist".

Will save you tons of time at the airport.

Remember when the stewardesses (err... "flight attendants") would rally up the kids to visit the cockpit and the captain would give everyone a set of plastic wings?

Used to keep 'em in a shoebox. Wish I would've saved 'em as a relic of freer times.
