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!

We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

I want to say, I think I am the last comment at 117.

Edward Mandell House said in the private meeting with Woodrow Wilson (President, 1913-1921) from the private papers of Woodraw Wilson:

“Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property (that’s you and your children) in a national system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a charge back for our fiat paper currency.
“Every American will be forced to register or suffer being able to work and earn a living. They will be our chattels (property) and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading (Birth Certificate) to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, secured by their pledges.
“They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be non the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure out our plans and, if by accident one or two should figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability. After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debts to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges.
“This will inevitably reap us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor to this fraud, which we will call ‘Social Insurance.’ Without realising it, every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and we will employ the high office (presidency) of our dummy corporation (USA) to foment this plot against America.”

Discovered that a friend I hadn't seen in over 30 years was in town, and took the opportunity to grab coffee and then dinner with him to catch up. Nice to spend nearly half a day both offline and away from my usual routine, and great to renew a friendship after so much change.

reply

That is a real friendship :)

My daughter apparently learned her first insult and she's really leaning into it.

I don't believe that she's ever heard either of her parents call someone a "butt face", but she's been getting immense delight out of telling people that they "have a butt face".

reply

It’s cute when they do stuff like that but you should nip it in the bud.

reply

We more or less did, already. I made the post because I heard her telling one of her toys that he had a butt face, this morning.

reply

I do let my daughter call me old but that’s about all she can get away with. Besides that’s a fact.

reply

My mom told me that sometimes it's hard to discipline things like this with little kids because they're too funny and adorable to keep a straight face, while doing it.

She's definitely right.

reply

Absolutely. That’s why I don’t mind for her to have one thing. Especially if the intention is to be funny and make everyone laugh as opposed to being mean.

The other day she had her brother doing animal impressions with her and she asked me if I could “sound like a cat”? I said “of course, meeeeow” and she said “ummm that doesn’t sound like a cat that sounds like an old daddy cat”

reply

thats a cute insult

reply

Our daughter is definitely just trying to be funny. She hasn't discovered being mean yet.

She can be quite disagreeable and mischievous, so being mean will probably come about eventually.

reply

How is her dance class going?

Our daughter had her end of season recital for dance yesterday which was good timing that it was before my wife’s surgery. We were a bit concerned it would be next weekend and she wouldn’t be able to go.

The recital was a lot of fun.

you have a butt face.

reply

Maybe that's all there is to it.

reply

Just adding more steps and going through same spot from this morning, though with the evening light.

It's very important in Bitcoin to watch what people "DO" not what they "SAY." That would be my best advice for navigating your way around the ecosystem as a new stacker this cycle. Most importantly what anyone spends their time working on says a lot about themselves as an individual, esp in Bitcoin. This is why...

I had an interesting discussion during our workshop yesterday I want to share.

In a roundabout way I was asked why it was important to have the "Pleb" name in @PlebLab.

For the longest time I don't know if I honestly could give you a good answer. Yesterday I had a come to Jesus moment on why it was important to "me" to have that in the name.

It represents the common individual helping his community for the greater good. It also recalls back to a time when it was not the "elites of society" with all the resources, time and money but instead the Plebs who stepped up during the fall of Rome. But most importantly it has become a north star for what extraordinary impactful things can be accomplished when a group of individuals come together for the greater good.

Hope this inspires some of you stackers to start something similar in your town or city.

reply

Yes, this is interesting to me!

And I know the feeling! I have been working at the same school for ten years, but it was only this year when I had an epiphany and could explain to others why I choose to stay on at the same place for so long.

You should also document this Eureka on your pleblab social, so that people will come to know the impetus.

Good idea!

reply

I switched to knuckle pushups last month, because they're easier on my wrists. It was interesting how even that slight of a change had a noticeable impact on the difficulty of the workout.

reply

I alternate. Sometimes I do them on my knuckles. Some times I do them declined. Gotta keep it fresh.

reply

I have been slightly varying my hand placement the whole time, so I didn't expect to notice anything from switching to knuckles.

I’m starting to think the territory business model is fundamentally broken. Over the past few months I tried to make posts to these territories

Stocks
Podcasts
Chats

Only to see all three have been archived already.

The list is getting shorter and shorter. I don’t see how this is sustainable.

reply

Stocks and charts could be one territory possibly. Charts can also fit in with Econ. Podcasts could fit nicely with music. When the chess territory archived I suggested to needcreations that he should keep it going under sports as a games sub category but he didn’t follow through.

The podcast sub was run by Oscar from fountain. I am guessing he did it more as a promotional thing.

reply

Post in ~builders @PlebLab has been running since week 1 of launch

reply

Territories suck right now. We’d be working on them if we didn’t have to focus on wallets. In some ways I regret releasing them without being able to iterate on them, but on the other hand, letting the suck stew is informative.

~charts was one of our best performing territories.

reply

Why I was shocked I couldn’t post there no more and was archived. Hopefully once the wallet work is done the focus can shift to fixing territories.

Personally I just use mine for links I want to bookmark and possibly get bitcoiners to discuss.

reply

kr owned that one which is why it sent away.

Hopefully once the wallet work is done the focus can shift to fixing territories.

Indeed it will. A couple miles left to go, but we're well on our way now.

reply

This is not evidence of the model being fundamentally broken. It's evidence of us being really early. People are trying it out and some are finding that their territory idea didn't work out the way they hoped.

Other territories are taking form and developing really nicely.

I have my own concerns about the model being fundamentally broken, but I don't think that's what we're seeing here.

reply

True maybe I am a bit extreme because I’m seeing territories I want to post to no longer exist so now I’m like where do I post it. But then I also think if the cost to keep a territory went down would these still be alive?

reply

You're touching on what I think might be the fundamental problem with territories is. They have to be expensive enough to support the cost of maintaining and developing Stacker News.

100ksats per month might be too high for many territories to turn a profit, as well as being too low to support the site.

Ultimately, there will need to be some sort of pricing mechanism for territories, but the goal will be (and should be) profit maximization for SN.

reply

Did you mean Charts?

reply
reply

Cool, I was trying to remember if I had ever seen a chats territory lol

reply

I wouldn't mind seeing notifications to the Salon when new territories launch (or are pulled out of archives), or are sent to the archive.

As far as territories go, I do worry about losing some of my faves, and hope they can stick around. That said, some territories overlap; when I want to talk about a podcast episode, I'm likely to look to the territory it applies to (tech, books, etc) since "podcasts" is such a broad term (and iirc, it had a high posting price). Stocks and Finance overlap as well, and while I loved Charts, it's another one like Podcasts where the contents could usually apply to another territory.

@davidw has a good post looking at how territories were doing a couple of months back, and I'm hoping we'll see more data and analysis as subterritories and other changes come down the pike.

reply

Yeah but that’s the beauty of overlapping. Everyone is not going to catch everything and post it perfectly where it’s supposed to go. I am sure Reddit has tons of overlap but the ones that are most popular get the most interaction and activity for better or for worse.

My parents-in-law just came over from Japan. In the middle of my school holidays.

Initially, I was not sure whether I would welcome the disruption to my much-anticipated days of freedom, since I would have to host them. But now I think any change in routine is good for a perpetually busy parent!

reply

That's a good attitude. I hope you can maintain it for the entire visit. My in-laws are here far too often for it to be a welcome disruption.

reply

Good to change our routine every now and then. Also I find always interesting to spend some time with in-laws.

Source of the NameSource of the Name

If the court is trying to apply a name to you, which is usually done by asking you “Are you (John Henry doe)?”, inquire on the source of the name.

For example: many names are written and sound the same, but are not the same name. Anyone with the last name “ford” is not necessarily the owner of the “ford” motor company.

There are many names that share the following;

  • Style (font).
  • Spelling.
  • Diction.
  • Language.
  • Pronunciation.

However they are NOT the same name.

To define the true name, the original source must be determined, therefore ask for the source of the name and who sourced said name.

Birth certificate:Birth certificate:

If it is a “traffic matter” and “the court” gave the source for your name as your “driver’s licence”, then that name cannot be used as a form of identification as it is based on “your” birth certificate.

Note: it is clearly written on “your” birth certificate that it cannot be used as a form of identity, and therefore any document based on it can also not be used as a source of identity.
