Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.

Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!

Why do spending Sunday and fun fact Friday only happen sporadically? The names suggest they happen every ${fri/sun}day

I need to clean my laptop screen. I thought for a second @k00b had added wizard hats, but it was just some dirt perfectly placed above one of the cowboy's hats making it look pointy. Haha.

@k00b petition to add a "pin comment" to top of post replies for OP? Could be useful in case the OP wants to add additional context later for people to see, or highlight and correct fk ups (in my case)

going through something I don't post or talk about much, but it is getting really rough lately. a custody battle with my nearly six year old son's mother - a narcissistic bi-polar.

rough times...

still I stack sats and seek humility

Damn that's tough. Hopefully in all her flaws she is a good mom. I think the greatest fear for any parent is to lose a child and second to that is to not be able to be around for their child. I have always taken solace in the fact that if anything ever happened to me or if things did not work out between my wife and I, our kids would be ok because she is a great mom.

I hope everything works out for you.

We need to talk about it. Fiat currency is the least of our concerns compared to the obecity pandemic,

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @gmd 22 Oct 2023

Counterintuitively, as long as you remain relatively productive (carry a job and pay taxes) fat people might be ideal for the system... pay taxes into the system, die of an MI in their 50s-60s.

Contrast this with the costs of supporting 90 year old grannie with slowly progressive dementia who retired at 65, has been drawing social security checks and Medicare for decades, living in a long term care home with recurrent trips to the ICU for pneumonia. Estranged kids who don't visit in the hospital continue to say they "want everything done".

Obesity is terrible for the individual, but it is the long term costs of the elderly that is bankrupting our system.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 22 Oct 2023

Food for thought (see what I did there). The obesity pandemic is a symptom of the fiat system's reliance on excess consumption.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @faithandcredit 22 Oct 2023

Obecity is a lack of education, its a lack of accepting something is wrong, and its a lack of wanting to do something about it. So you cant solve anything until you have solved obecity imo.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @faithandcredit 22 Oct 2023

On a general level there will always be obecity, but when its so widespread as it is today, forget about solving any other problem.

Nice. Captures the mood. Apropos of nothing, I was watching WC Fields clips last night. His world seems like another planet.

34 sats \ 4 replies \ @carlosfandango 22 Oct 2023

It’s over 100 years. The entertainment world and comedy roots he came from are certainly alien to todays internet connected world.

22 sats \ 3 replies \ @siggy47 22 Oct 2023

I was entertained, though the crappy sound quality sometimes made it tough to catch what he was saying. He had that strange delivery.

34 sats \ 2 replies \ @carlosfandango 22 Oct 2023

Many years ago I had a senior, though very quirky, work colleague who had that eloquence / verbosity (I think that is the description) with his words and that delivery which I took for a posh drawl. Now, years later and I often do impressions, with great affection and fondness, of him and I have come to the conclusion he lived his life speaking like WC Fields. And that gives him the last laugh as none of us realised at the time.

22 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 22 Oct 2023

He was incredibly talented. I think he wrote all his stuff, his physical comedy was great. He was even a really good juggler.

34 sats \ 0 replies \ @carlosfandango 22 Oct 2023

I heard he started as a juggler. But he was also very rehearsed with his material and that may explain why he was so protective of it.

with alby configured this way (it's an old account)

all this happen after alby released the latest version with onchain swap or something like that. Not sure if is related, but I didn't changed anything in my login settings.

If I use the same alby account configured in Zeus or Bluewallet app and login, it will go to a new SN account not the original.

I've never had Jim Beam. Johnnie Walker and Jack Daniel's I would consider reasonably priced for the workingman.

21 sats \ 7 replies \ @siggy47 22 Oct 2023

I like Jack Daniels better, but Jim Beam is real Kentucky bourbon. It's cheaper than Jack Daniels, and Jack isn't exactly high end either. Johnnie Walker has a little more Scotch snootiness.

33 sats \ 6 replies \ @bitcointerest 22 Oct 2023

I will have to check if the local liquor store sells Jim Beam. Jack Daniel's has a reasonable price range in South Africa hence its popularity.

21 sats \ 5 replies \ @siggy47 22 Oct 2023

Same in the U.S. I'm not an expert, but my friends who drink high end bourbon consider Jim Beam good for the price. I have tried their expensive stuff, but I can't tell the difference. I'm happy with my Jack.

Don’t get me started on whisky’s…. I do love a drop of Jack. Some of the high-end JDs are very nice.
