I think this is because we have underestimated the throughput number, particularly with processes beneath consciousness that we don't have much a glimpse into quite yet.

Why do we live at 10 bits/s?
The information throughput of a human being is about 10 bits/s. In comparison, our sensory systems gather data at ~10^9 bits/s. The stark contrast between these numbers remains unexplained...

Ross Ulbricht Pardoned
Maybe this Trump guy isn't so bad.
Everyone in this community or any other that enjoys some freedom through crypto owes this man.
Thank you Ross, welcome back to the world.
Thank you Ross, welcome back to the world.
Something to celebrate on its own merit. So sad that instead of celebration this just unleashes hate in people, that's exactly how cunts like Trump win.
A big fuck you to joe/hunter biden.
Hunter biden pushed for 5 yrs min for anyone with crack/meth over 3g.
Films himself weighing out 20g of crack with a hooker πͺ

Where did you read that? Regarding Hunter pushing the 5 years? I can't find anything about it online
Nice!!! Strange for a psychopath to pardon someone who hates him and everything he stands for. But Ross Ulbricht (or Ulbright as the pea brain spells it) free is a good thing!! Yay!!
Scary that the Libertarians have such a hold on Trump behind the scenes they can get a law and order anti drug president to release a man who actively hates him.
Scary that people we don't know and didn't elect can get the president to do something he is ideologically against.
I think it's so that Trump can argue the justice department is broken so that he can shut it down.

Exactly right
Heβs pardoned him as he clearly needs him on his Elon musk team for their world domination plans
He also pardoned everyone who stormed the white house violently
So in America you can be a thug as long as your team trump - great message oh and you can all buy weapons to
But
Women
Foreign
Gay or different in anyway run and hide
Heβs released his own crypto and is now using his position to make billions
Itβs still blows my mind in one of the biggest countries in the world Biden was the strongest replacement????
Itβs almost like trump knew he had to go and hired Biden to keep his seat warm till he was back
They have given Farage massive amounts of money too
As a race I think humans are going backwards and the mismanagement of our countries is turning us against each other - bullying - racism- homophobia and discrimination are being made acceptable in certain circumstances/narratives
Meanwhile megalomaniacs billionaires are literally plotting how to build the world and the moral compass they want and I seriously doubt weβre going to like the results

I make custom audio equipment and also read tarot. Is there any reason I couldn't list these services for sale? Not expecting a single sale or interest if I did, but are there rules against this?
No rules against it, at least as far as I can see/am aware.
I'm always interested to check out anything audio related.
I would go for it mate, I'm sure plenty others would at least take a look too.

I have seen paintings,. guitars and weed accessories etc listed in the past

What sort of things are you interested in? I've got 20 years design and build experience. Speakers, amps, PA systems, effects pedals, interfaces, preamps, guitar amps, hifi - you name it.
Are you asking what I'm interested or what I can afford π
Because that's two very separate things π
Yes to all the stuff you listed, I'm currently looking at an sg copy hanging on my wall that got half the gubbins removed, I'm planning on splitting the pickups so that I have one pickup covering all six strings and 2 other pickups covering 3 strings each which I'm them planning on routing to 3 outputs to my pedal board where it's gonna then end up going through a 2 amp one cab design I'm in collecting bits mode for.
I have no idea if it's gonna work how I envision but the idea is to basically be able to saturate as much of sub to shrill with one instrument
Oh and the guitar is a 6 string tuned to A π
It's an ongoing side project π
Edit technically I'm a bassist so the guitar isn't having a good time

Little bit of both. Mostly just getting a vibe for intests at the moment - I couldn't afford half the stuff I make π.
Sounds like a neat project. If you want any help or just want to talk about it, shoot me a message sometimes.
What guage strings are you using to keep that in tune? Lowest I've dared was C standard on Gibson scale π
Have you considered using full range speakers in that setup? I play an 8 string guitar use a 1x15 cab with a full range speaker for that shrill and extreme lowend. Then a pair of 2x12 cabs panned stereo

I can't actually remember what speakers are in this cab at the moment, sound quality isn't really a concern currently as I don't plan to go any further than the hutch it's more the fun of working out what I want and then bodging my way to it.
Once again can't remember the previous string that were tuned to A but they came off a little while back , got Ernie ball mammoth slinkies that I think are about where I was but there still in a pack as I'm making darn certain I know what I want to do before getting my dremel out π
I actually do have a serious hifi job I need doing and I am to scared to even ask the manufacturer how much to repair it would be

Well, sick brother Keep me posted on how it goes π
Can't go wrong with a set of Ernie balls. I think they have a tool which suggests a guage based on scale length and tunings somewhere on the internet
I usually charge Β£20/hour + parts for this type of work, and that's gonna take about 20 mins or so. Hopefully your kidneys are worth a lot more than that ππ€£

AHH we both know it's the 15 man team needed to lift the nait 5 that's the costly part.
Naim seem to swap out the part for something else based on what I could glean with the Google device but that's about all I understood when I looked which was a while ago.
My soldering skills are still at butchery level so I know better than to even try to go delving in there
It's on a priority list it's just a really low priority list in comparison to some of my other priority lists but it's good to know your hour to kidney ratio and I will keep that in mind

Depends on the nature of the fault. Most probably down to the sketchy pot design with this type of failure. A little solder and a new pot should do it. It's Always worth a soft reset just in case gremlins have found their way into the controls π€
Soldering is not as tricky as it looks. A little patience and a little (and I emphasise not actually that much) practice, and you'll be golden. With repair work especially, be wary of how much heat is needed for the solder to flow vs. how much will affect component integrity. Takes a little practice π€

It's not a pot it's a resistor ladder that controls the volume
If it was a soldering a pot in and out that's something I can do
Tracking down which resistor is spooned and then replacing it is currently above my skill level π
Naim stopped using this method after this amp

I was a bit blazed last night π
They give you a great volume control, but having an array of resistors is a much bigger pain to service for very little benefit. They're not common until you get to the high end of hifi usually
Yup, I'm lucky that my wife's uncle is a keen but budget limited audiophile so the setup I have was his first setup which he retired due to the aforementioned volume issues, he seemed puzzled that I didn't have issue with it originally but I started to later on.
Well I had an epiphany last night, I didn't have issues first off because I was using a dac to control the volume not the unit and it was only when I went more than one input and started adjusting the volume manually I had issues.
So in theory if I retwiddle the setup and drop all inputs other than the Dac I could find a place where the resistors are all happy and let the Dac to the volume

Yep, I'll gladly tell you when you'll have your death wank. Or help answer the more conventional spiritual dilemmas π
Everyone knows tarot for the relationship and life/death advice, but it goes a lot deeper - and a lot shallower too. At the end of the day, it's a fun parlour game.

Cancer has my name in the hat, can I start fighting before it's drawn?
very cool, thanks
Cancer has my name in the hat, can I start fighting before it's drawn?
My dad and mum both went out with cancer, leukemia and breast cancer. Loads more relatives too so I reckon I am going to be fighting a melanoma sooner or later. Also figure it's going to be tiny and undetected at start. So why not act like its there now? Could give a rats ass about side effects since I'm going to face them anyway why not while the drugs are super strong and possibly more effective?
No is the answer, not true treatments anyways, chemo will have no benefit in any form if thereβs no cancerβ¦ As to doing your best to prevent, of course, eat well, drink less alcohol, make sure you keep your body as clear as you can of free radicals using supplements, many many ways you can likely prolong the inevitable if it is truly indeed inevitable but you canβt fight genetic code but you can make sure all the other systems are running as optimally as possible through lifestyle and supplementation.
just get regular checkups. In a lot of cases, the treatment can be worse than the disease. I first was diagnosed with NHL in 2008 but didn't need treatment until 2018 & if I had been smart I would have a avoided a lot (or all) of the treatment I'm receiving. Treatment can also increase your chances of getting a different type of cancer later in life.
Start taking cold showers daily?
Below is a text from a link to newscientist.com from Wim Hof's Twitter page.
"Cold exposure stops tumour growth in mice by hijacking glucose stores
Being continuously exposed to 4Β°C (39Β°F) for 20 days inhibited tumour growth and improved the survival of mice with five different types of cancerous cells
A brown fat cell, surrounded by capillaries, captured via a coloured scanning electron micrograph. Activating brown fat through cold exposure may cause it to burn glucose, which cancerous tumour cells rely on for growth
Cold temperatures could inhibit the growth ofΒ cancerousΒ cells, according to research conducted in mice and one person with Hodgkinβs lymphoma.
Exposure to low temperatures is thought to prompt brown fat cells to burn glucose,Β cancer cellsβ dominant energy source.
Some existing cancer treatments disrupt glucose uptake to slow or prevent tumour growth. These tend to be administered via drugs, rather than whole-body exposure to cold therapy. Drugs may have more side effects and complex administration regimens, relative to cold therapy.
To test cold therapyβs potential,Β Yihai CaoΒ at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and his colleagues implanted five different types of cancerous cells into a group of mice. Some of the rodents were then continuously exposed to very low temperatures, but above freezing, for 20 days.
This exposure activated the miceβsΒ brown fat tissue, which burns energy rather than storing it, reducing the tumoursβ energy supply.
These mice went on to have considerable tumour inhibition and a survival rate that was almost double that of mice that received no treatment.
βThis is really something new: not directly targeting cancer cells, but rather altering global metabolism in the body to affect tumours,β says Cao.
To eliminate the possibility that the tumour suppression was down to something other than the cold therapy, Cao and his team intervened in several ways. After surgically removing the cold-exposed miceβs brown fat, or turning off the gene by which brown fat generates heat, tumour inhibition was absent.
The inhibition was also absent when the mice were fed a high-glucose diet, suggesting that the tumoursβ growth was inhibited by a lack of glucose. The team also performed a genetic analysis on the cold-exposed tumours, finding a decrease in markers associated with glucose consumption.
In a second part of the experiment, Cao and his team exposed a group of six healthy human volunteers to 16Β°C (61Β°F) for 2 to 6 hours a day for two weeks. Similarly to the mice, the volunteersβ brown fat tissue became activated.
The researchers then continuously exposed a person with Hodgkinβs lymphoma to 22Β°C (72Β°F) for seven days. Not only did their brown fat become activated, their tumours also consumed less glucose over this period.
The results are solid, but more research needs to be carried out, both in animals and in humans with tumours, saysΒ Katiuscia BianchiΒ at the Barts Cancer Institute in London.
According toΒ Saverio TarditoΒ at the Beatson Institute in Glasgow, UK, the mice tumour growth results are βstrikingβ. But given that this treatment would most likely be administered in combination with chemotherapy, it might negatively affect chemotherapy drugs, he says, which has to be ruled out before any joint treatments are carried out.
Cao himself concedes that the genetic variation in peopleβs brown fat and its response to cold might make the treatment unsuitable for some. People with later-stage cancer who have already lost weight also may be unable to risk losing more through brown fat-driven energy consumption, he says."

Cops' "Civil Forfeiture" grabs more than all robberies combined.
American police can take all assets (even houses) from anyone they SUSPECT. The person does not even have to be accused, let alone charged or convicted.
Cops 4.8 billion vs Robbers 3.4 billion at last count.
The assets are either kept by the police or liquidated and shared with other government operators. A difficult court battle is required to get the assets back to their rightful owners even if they have committed no crime at all.

As governments take over the economy partnering with corporations and the super rich we are left with something that looks a lot like feudal times.
I think there has always been feudalism in one form or another. There is always a class that ultimately owns everything because they can confiscate it, grant it a "title" or tax it. This premise always leads to same outcome it's just a matter of how greedy or insane the current landlord is.
Everything consolidates one way or another, thats why decentralization is both great and doomed.
Anthropologist David Graeber did a book about about this myth called Debt. There is no evidence for class dominant economics bar this relatively small and recent period of time. Obviously the myth has more value than the reality.
probably starting from the neolithic era yes with the only exception of the 20th century, the only period of history where people got a bit of control of the power. Now is going to be lost for decades to come.
We need to look on the bright side, we are actually free serfs. We are free to seek a new master and we can seek redress in the crown courts, unfree serfs couldn't. However if we hadn't spent so much bit coin here we might actually be free with the value of it now.
I call it digital feaudalism. And yes, we have never really exited the feudal system. It just morphs and transforms, keeping the 1% at the top, making almost all the rest their slaves.
Thanks for sharing.
I see examples of this not just on the internet but in all industries. Walk down most high streets here in the UK and they now pretty much all look identical the same shops, coffee shops and chain restaurants with very few independent offerings. The cost of rent, business rates and all the red tape make it pretty much impossible nowadays for small independents to even start up.
Watching a show about fisherman on the BBC painted a picture of the EU quota system they must use and how the industry is dominated by money and huge boats and how these owners buy up small fishing boats and take the quotas these boats have to use on the mega trawlers.
The car industry seems totally monopolised now and we actually get very little choice - notice how the different makers share chassis and engines and the only real difference you get is the interior and badge. Everything else is pretty much controlled by rules and regulations.
It is obvious that these big players of industry are in cahoots with the those that set the rules and regulations as we saw with the emissions scandal with VW and EU collaboration.
Covid and lockdowns have exacerbated the situation as many small business owners left without any financial supports have gone to the wall while government loans to the huge corporations sit unused in their bank accounts.
Truly depressing times.

This is the model dreamed up by Gabrielle D'Nunzio, Mussolini, Franco and later tried by Stroessner, Pinochet and Thatcher. Always fails cos tho i am a committed capitalist even i realise extraction cannot work for ever as either you run out of victims (Franco, Pinochet) or the victims turn on you (Mussolini, Thatcher) At least Il Duce didn't cry when his turn came, Thatcher mewled and puked like a rat.
Fascinating. Bleak. truly people have been brainwashed by the media and now vote with their wallets. Far more regulation required at the top end, we cant stop the progress, and in many ways it serves us well. Democracy can still win the day, and we can unite for the good of all people. Education is the key, and a few good humans can change the world. It cant be allowed that rampant free market capitalism destroys us. Roll on technical singularity, according to Moores law would be around 2042 but i believe the theory is faultering (Moores law) so might take a bit longer. Technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. We have just leisure time so we study philosophy and all becone enlightened beings living in a tech utopia. Peace
Moore's law is doing fine once you abstract it to include progress besides chip density. Computation overall is on track when you include advances in software and a.i.
it will take more than economics for everyone to spend their leisure time studying philosophy. but im with you at least
Hope so but would we be the same beings, even the same species? I think Nietszche was mostly a clown but "homo, ecce homo" hits home
What is Neo Feudalism and being British mean?
Neo-feudalism refers to a concept that draws parallels between modern societal structures and the feudal system of the Middle Ages. It suggests that power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a few influential individuals or entities, leading to a significant wealth disparity and limited social mobility. In a neo-feudalistic system, there may be an entrenched hierarchy, with a small elite class exerting control over economic, political, and social aspects, while the majority of the population faces limited opportunities and struggles to improve their circumstances.
Being British refers to being a citizen or a resident of the United Kingdom or having a connection to British culture and heritage. It typically implies a sense of national identity associated with the customs, traditions, and values of the British people. It encompasses aspects such as the English language, British history, British institutions, and cultural practices that are prevalent in the UK. However, it's important to note that "being British" can mean different things to different people, as it can encompass a diverse range of identities and perspectives within the multicultural society of the United Kingdom,

Like the last feudal era they will ultimately fail IMO. Biden, bezos, bj and the two conos in NZ & Canada are only one mad bomber away from losing all the kleptocratic gains they have extracted. Putin and Xi poss a battalion or two away. Even if the above are stopped there are always despots trying their luck. The better angels of our nature (thanks Pinker, S) have always stayed in the fight so that the new boss is NOT always the same as the old boss (thanks Townshend, P)

Thanks, not even the most interesting thing about this genius, go in an hour 45 or so and lex asks what he calls the "pothead questions".
Still cant see how the media justified doxing this guy. Glad he is still speaking up, not sure if I even agree with the philosophy but he is spot on about the regulatory capture and plutocratic controls forming already.

He sold out his own people to the nazi's and then told the press years later that he has no regrets about it.
He tried to bankrupt the British pound as we beat the nazi's which he did not appreciate and he wants to cause death and destruction ti the western world but that is all OK because he helped orange County get legalised π€£
I know exactly what side of history that I am on."NEVER AGAIN"
And there is no such thing as gays for Palestine either get that into your thick sculls.
One day after the Iranian revolution the Muslim brotherhood killed all there left wing helpers.
This is what happens when you mix radical islamists with leftist fucking liberals they take a country back to the middle ages.
Ww have enabled this and we now need people with guts to sort this mess out, the teachings in alot mosques in the western world is done by radicals that were banned in countries like Pakistan as they were only intent on bringing down there governments so they were banished into Europe were we have allowed them to blossom.
Back in the 1960's the emigrants were coming here to better themselves and leave the oppression only to be followed here many years later by these nutters.
40.000 and rising on the terror watch list at any given time in the UK!?!?!
Who do you think funds the NGO"s ??
Who pays for all the social media ads in Africa to encourage the mass migration ??
Who gives them new mobile phones and just happens to be there when they land on beaches ????
Who is behind Antifa, BLM , Extintion rebellion????

My all time favourite has always been Akhenaton. He's got a real solid flow, a slight lisp and some kick ass lyrics.
Saw NTM live a few years ago and those old geezas still got it.

How can I stencil a large barcode onto a wall?
started topic
+ 2 more
Projector or if you have a printer I think you can zoom the barcode bigger onto a4 size. Or maybe stencils online.
Do you want it to be scannable still?
Very unlikely you can stencil in this kinda detail, probably easier to get down the large format printers, get it printed the size you want and wheat paste it on the location. Search βShep Faireyβ for best techniques.

The best, easiest and cheapest way is to get a vinyl sticker cut, most printers do it. It will cut the shape you like and then you have to apply application tape. Then remove the backing leaving it stuck to the application tape. Once you have done that you can stick it to the wall. Remove the application tape and you have a sticker. Only problem is that sometimes it's a nightmare sticking to glossy paint. I've done hundreds of them. I wouldn't pay more than Β£15 - Β£25 for a big sticker and if you can make sure you use 3M vinyl. It's the best stuff IMO.

amazing legalisation effort based on reparations for street dealers. nyc arrested 350,000 cannabis users in the guliani days now they won't touch anyone so corner shops everywhere sell without a license.
a new outrage, cops cant win either way.

I haven't watched this (yet) but I think a big part of it is just that the people want to have control of the bud supply. I mean, why would anyone who's been hassled by the police over weed EVER want to buy it from the government?

Hi all,
I want to tell you about a new project. Still in BETA. Called Uprock. Currently with around 1million users.
You install this app on any device, and it will use your unused internet bandwidth for AI purposes. It does NOT touch your personal data. Just pays you for your unused internet. The crypto token awarded can be sold or swapped for holidays, flights, activities, all kinds. It's still early days.
It is totally legit. Not a scam. Just have a look.
What's in it for me sharing this info? Depends how quick you are. If you're quick they give me 10% bonus of your productivity ,(comes from them. Not you).
If you're slow I get 1%. Either way you'll be glad you used the below link

any fasting biggaz out there?
Makes you sharper for sure but then maybe too sharp around others.
any fasting biggaz out there?
i've started to dabble with holding out to dinner. it has been positive overall, there's surely a high, maybe also a little anger too though. anyone else trying this?
I love fasting! Clear my head better than any meditation π§π»ββοΈ
Lately Iβve been doing OMAD (One Mea a Day) and itβs amazing, such a hassle free way of living plus it makes easier to choose something healthy to eat.
The only thing that makes me go OUT OF CONTROL is the munchies π₯΄ I would eat the legs of the chairs if i could ha

I've replaced most munchies with strawberries. Great results. Exceptionally clean teeth too!
Did a ten day fast with only water few months ago..Had the occasional bit of salt and lemon to suppress appetite. Cleared pimples ive had for years, black marks on my skin. Still smoked weed during it..called it my "weed and water" fast
but wow was an amazing experience days 2-3 are the hardest, after that u get a natural body high and u feel intermittent bursts of energy which u should use to do light exercise....was losing over 0.8kg a day..would defo recommend!!
Dr Berg on youtube for more info helped me alot!

done this for years found it a bit harder latley though. id wake up 8am and wouldnt eat till 4pm to 7pm never felt hungry to a point ide suffer so didnt have any issue doing it. since covid i have been eating earllyer due to feeling starved by 1pm will i get back to old self probabby not since having covid twice now eating in general is not what it used to be like taste and texture not the same anymore.
ha! in my case it is not so. my metabolism went up. and I can now drink and smoke more than before ;) with much less bad side-effects
I've been on and off 17/7 for the last year and I feel I reached a plateau.. I wonder if I should try OMAD or one day on, one day off.. Any one have any tips on how to not stuff your face once your fasting time is up?!
My app tells me I have fasted 8277 hours! i tend to eat between 12-8pm and have lost a total of 4 stone, im not sure ive noticed many mental benefits though other than not berating myself constantly haha If anyone wants a good tracker app, I use Fastic.
I have 18 hours between eating everyday which seems to help me anyways. Best thing Iβve done is pair that with stopping all processed foods and sugar. grass fed biltong and walnuts are my snack of choice. Milk thistle, moringa powder, turmeric, cayenne and Ceylon washed down with ginger juice is definitely worth trying too.
Yeah, I do it once a year. Did do it for detox and lose some weight but recently it's been a more spiritual experience.
First few days or week are always tough. No caffeine, nicotine or cannabis makes me cranky as f......
First few days or week are always tough. No caffeine, nicotine or cannabis makes me cranky as f......
I would really urge anyone who is or is planning to fast to get a checkup at their GP first. Make sure your vitamineral levels are good.
A few years back I was addicted to speed and consistently went 4-6 days without food (and sleep) when one day I just fell over and woke up in the hospital the day after. I was apparently on the verge of starving to death even though I'm a tubby motherphoenix, so stay safe friends!

Iβve always naturally kinda fasted. Never really had breakfast or lunch. I do have coffee or tea so break my fast I guess with the milk. But I only really eat my evening meal about 7/8pm and then might snack again with the munchies till about 2am. Iβm not a massive eater tho and could probs do with eating more.
i fast maybe every 2-3 days for a day sometimes 2 , longest i ever fasted was 9 days. also i mainly only eat one meal a day (Unless im toking) Munchies make it way to hard too fast XD
I went through a phase a few years ago of doing three day water fasts. Always felt very serene on the last day. By the time it came to actually eat again, I wasn't that bothered!
I generally don't eat until about 5pm. Still overweight due to munchies. But have halved sugar and doubled cardio and weights with really impressive results.
Just starting Out my own fast, just water only for the last 48 hours.
Going to try it once a week (for the health benefits)
No bad side affects so far, just not able to eat socially can be a downer when your on it.

How are you getting on? Iβve been intermittent fasting (16:8) for a while, always tempted to do a 48 or 72 hour fast, so like a full body reset
Do it bro.. its amazing..but must say first 72 hours are usually the hardest..after that your body starts using its own fat reserves more efficiently.. so would suggest 7-10 days if u can.. everyday after the 3rd ull see benefits and increased energy levels..
Wow! Thatβs a long one haha Do you experience much muscle wastage in that time? Burning a bit of fat is never a bad thing though haha
I stopped for now, but honestly I felt much more healthy when I was doing the fast and need to jump back on or at least reset my diet yet againβ¦ too many Gregβs tuna baguettes at 10 am during the week plus weekend take away has ruin my diet.
Too much processed foods.
The fast is an easy way to reset body and diet and just great for the mental.
going to go for a half day fast on Monday and steadily creep up to a 48/72 hour fast over the next couple weeks

yeah thatβs the downfall of our diets these days, everything is just so easy to get our hands on. Access to food constantly, I always have a bit of a relapse at weekends haha deadly case of the munchies π I will most definitely do a 48 hour one soon I think, I seem to get on quite well with 16:8 and like you said you feel healthier
after my fasts i usually make a big pot of spicey Chanko or ramen and have it for days after XD
i like to brake fast with the least appealing healthiest foods i can get my hands on, basically their day in the sun
48 is right when it starts feeling a wee bit psycho. like you're going to eat a side of beef or nothing ever again.
that said i find the hardest part is compatibility with others and meal times

seems these days more people are starting to see the value in a btc alternative π
we are making progress and want to thank the biggaz that are helping, particularly the devvy borg who are making significant changes to little biggy's infrastructure in order to accomodate a solana based payment processor.
we still need more devs though, this is the hardest part of developing securely and anonymously. thank you to the biggaz making introductions (especially budzinho), we are grateful and will reward every success.
we also mention that full time dev positions are available in addition to the projects we list, anyone successfully completing a project is eligibile.
every bigga is hurting with these btc fees and we get that, its why we see an opportunity but if you could not use this thread for your grievances we would appreciate it, we're trying to move things forward. π

Nice to see some change in the making. Just out of curiosity, why a stablecoin? Would it not be easier to just implement Sol as the payment token? Don't mean to be negative but it's very difficult to create a stablecoin that will continuously maintain it's peg. Is it an algo based stablecoins you guys are developing?
I did see that Circle have just released their EURO stablecoin which afaik is on Solana Chain. Could possibly be an idea to use. Would be like USDT but without having to pay ETH gas fees.

the new euro backed stable coin is a good suggestion and we are keeping an eye on it's progress.
would it be viable to add monero (or, honestly, any coin with decent privacy and transaction fees) as an alternative in the meantime? the bitcoin transaction fees have gone utterly mental recently, and it's scaring me away from the site.
is it actually tether? if so how will they avoid addresses being frozen if the wrong attention ever fell on here?
Sad day indeed given it was what BTC should have been. (Could have been).
It's time will come though when people say fuck paying $XXX's in fees bcoz that is frankly ridiculous for the oldest crypto going on 16 years now...

Understandable given the number of blockchain halting episodes in recent years...although I do genuinely believe Solano to be a more robust and dependable chain now...although still nowhere near as decentralised as Cardano....which along with low fees now has a number of stablecoin options
mmm 'blockchain halting' or centralised ownership may be a better term for it.
It's shady af in my opinion, and, BCH is well.. bitcoin. Still decentralised, just the better version with bigger block size and vastly cheaper fees...

Yup. Its supposedly sacrificing the decentralisation for far higher TPS....but the fact it can be turned on and off doesn't sit right.
Can't wait to see the Cardano network properly battle tested at scale...been using some Defi Dapps and have been impressed so far.
Bitcoin Cash would be a nice option here though

If you like ADA, check out ERG, basically a BTC successor without any VC backing, fair pre-mine, ASIC resistant, POW, eUTXO etc...
Are you actually creating a new coin from scratch? Would it not make sense to at least switch to a currently existing coin that resolves some of bitcoins issues? At least as a temporary solution until your new coin is finished.
Thank you for working on a fix for this :)

they should just switch to litecoin or even better monero
tether is centralised and they can freeze addresses. There is a reason no illicit market uses tether, there are too many cons and barely any pros

Ireland is like a graveyard and the UK is almost as bad.
This should of happened ages ago and now just feels like we are in a perpetual nightmare.
If they wanted different coins they would of implemented them by now. I would say at this rate we have a few weeks left of trading till we go bust.
And all the while the buyers keep throwing money at a new vendor and constantly promote that vendor without regard or any sense of loyalty to others it is just typical of the society that we live in. Where has the peanut vendor gone??
Why is no one calling this out??

It's as simple as this really, there's teenagers setting up websites for their 'NFT Projects' which have all crypto payments implemented including BTC, ETH, ADA, XTZ, SOL etc... If LB really wanted to utilize another chain or layer 2, it would of been sorted a long time ago.
I see a lot of people going on about privacy concerns etc, yet majority are using a CEX to on-ramp/off-ramp so your privacy is already out the window I'm afraid. Even BTC, to people that know what they're doing, come on it really ain't hard to follow the coin on-chain.
We are buying bits of herb at the end of the day, LB is pretty tame with the products on here so I can't imagine feds are gunna be spending resources and money to track down JimmyBois half oz he bought for the weekend. Obviously maybe a bit different for vendors though I appreciate that.
Is anyone actually able to clarify what the issue is? Is it something to do with the escrow settlements which is causing problems for implementing? Tbh it would be cool for th escrow to be a SC and just autonomously act out.

Very good points mate, most of which could no doubt be answered if the Borgs would only talk to us in more than riddles.π
Personally I suspect that the payment processor transaxe.com insists only on btc and to offer an alternative means a departure and a whole new processor which is blowing noodles.
Just a hunch π€·ββοΈ

Yeah the cryptic riddles and communication could be a bit better!
Must be something like that, all I can think is that it's moreso to do with transaxe side of things. But then again speaking as someone who has very little knowledge on coding, even I can create a SC that receives payments, distributes under certain parameters/conditions, creates information functions etc.. It'd be simple ASF don't get me wrong, but I really don't think this would be hard at all for someone that is clued up on it.
You could probably even copy and pasta the template lol

I find it astonishing that they're happy for buyers to go elsewhere. I use another platform now and pay in LTC, Β£100 costs me about Β£3 to buy and less than 1p to transfer which is completed in less than 20 minutes. Its a real shame as I love LB but I'm not willing to pay through the nose for the privilege when there are very much comparable market places, that accept 3 or 4 payment methods.

The more payment methods the better in my opinion but i get how hard it is to restructure these things.
Pity the evil overlords wont let you guys just use Fiat payments would be cool if i could just buy using the good old British pound.

Yet there are other clear net sites that do just that- give the option to pay in £££...why are they not bothered I ask myself?
Any updates on this?
I along with many others, no doubt have had to resort to other sources that accept other crypto (ltc) with practically no fees, I love LB but when I can save a small fortune, I'm spending my crypto elsewhere.

IDK if anyone has commented yet but MY GOD - Max Hollowayβs 5th rd walk off KO with 1 second remaining is instantly a legendary moment in MMA thatβll never be forgotten.
i have watched the cheap freebie sports package for years and followed lots of interesting sports by chance. was aussie rules back in the day now a lot of lacrosse.
Ice hockey! Fast, violent and technical. Top tier spectator sport imo. Rally also but can sleep on it.

What do you work as and would you recommend it to a job seeker?
So screw it I decided to make another post because if there's anyone I genuinely trust to give me solid real advice it's my pot smoking friends here.
I've been in my job for almost a decade and I thoroughly hate it, the wage is bad the stress is massive, the micromanaging is insane and there's absolutely zero job satisfaction.
How do people even pursue careers? I've got a wealth of experience in IT, phones, systems, customer service etc but it's all generic experience. I have friends who work for IT making more sustainable PC parts, dealing with wind turbines, engineering in car companies and I just don't know how they went from school to that.
I'm not naive, it takes time, patience and dedication for anything but I've been scouring options for months and I just can't seem to work out what I could do that pays me more than I earn now, would give me a better work life balance and would allow me to have a better quality of life.
Essentially the old trope of working for the man. I can't say what I do but it's in the public sector and it is a shit, shit job with almost no benefits and due to it not being private the pay is abymsal.
Rant over, what is it you do, do you earn a good liveable wage and would you recommend it to anyone looking?
Thanks

Donβt be put off mate, Iβve seen LOADS of people from all walks of life join us in games with 0 experience in games but skillβs and experience and passion can that can valuable.
Apply for roles you like, get denied. Get interviews and the. Denied but USE THEM to learn what they look for and never forget you are interviewing THEM as much as they are you!!!
You want to find out how they treat people, what their values are etc. make sure they align with your own and vibe of management is good as any bad vibes in interview usually translate to negative experience imo.

Hi dude, sounds like your higherself is telling you to get out of that job, I've been their even lost jobs for not listening to myself.
What you should do is sit with yourself with no distractions and ask what would I do if you could do anything. Eventually you'll get an answer might take a few times but you'll know when you find it because you'll feel passion. Write it down in as much detail as possible like imagination your in your place of business having conversations with your employees, the more imagination you can bring the quicker it will happen.
Then go look up Neville Goddard books and trust the process for 1 month and watch what happens or try prove him wrong as he says in his books.. He teaches we're spiritual beings and we can create reality with our imagination.
You got this bro, self doubt is to try keep us small from primordial times! We're not surviving anymore we're thriving! We all just need to trust ourselves a lot more :)

on disability, volunteer when i can, getting out and socialised is good for me, theres lots of funding going for third sector work, why not use your iT skills to make a difference in the community
I was a chef for 15 years, nasty motorcycle accident couldn't handle the physicality any longer, did a degree with open university now work in data analysis. Strong recommend for anything IT, always in demand, usually some cool places to work
I work for T*SCO been at it for about a year and half now. Before that I was a chef for 10 years but have done a bit of everything tbf. I find myself in the same dilemma except I want something that will make me super rich. I used to make music as a hobby but just never have the time anymore, plus that with the fact I don't know how to put down in words the absolute shit show this past 3 nearly 4 years have been for me.
But yeah I work in t*sco 10/10 would not recommend long term
But yeah I work in t*sco 10/10 would not recommend long term
Hi there, as someone that didn't have many dreams and ambitions as a kid (apart from music) and someone who is quite shy i found it very difficult to pursue and stick with a job. I've mainly done kitchen work (washing up, doing desserts) and it gets really stale fast.
A really common job that I'm personally aiming for and one you need to be responsible with(especially with weed) is finding literally any driving/delivery job. dont gotta barely talk to noone, out and about and feel like you work for yourself

Nicotine and THC vape fluid recipe
this is an interesting idea does it reduce nicotine craving?
Nicotine and THC vape fluid recipe
This is good for replacing your normal vape fluid when you need to be super stealthy, for keeping you topped up at a level all day, or for people who like a tobacco spliff but don't want to smoke any more.
The easiest way to do it is just to add Rocketdogronnie's white runtz vape oil to your favourite commercial liquid but I've been vaping for 15 years now and I've made my own for most of that, so I know exactly what's going in it and I can have any flavour I fancy.
You'll need:
* Vegetable Glycerin (you can get this on amazon, I use The Soapery).
* Nicotine in PG/VG solution (I use 75 mg/ml which you can easily buy online in the UK).
* Vape safe flavours (I get mine from Flavourart UK who I've been using for about a decade).
* A bottle of Rocketdogronnie's White Runtz vape oil.
* A mixing cup and either a measuring syringe or a measuring cup.
* A cheap handheld milk frother.
I make myself 10ml of this every day or two and it keeps my fibromyalgia at bay, but I can also hold down a few big tokes to get wasted. Takes me no longer than making a cup of coffee these days.
For approx 10 ml of 6mg/ml add 7 ml of VG, 0.8 ml of 75 mg/ml nicotine solution, 2 ml of flavour and around 20 drops of Ronnie's vape oil to taste to your mixing cup, then whisk it well with your coffee frother.
It's ready to vape π
For 3mg/ml you would use 0.4 ml of nicotine solution, or for 9mg/ml use 1.2, etc.
If anyone has any questions about this at all, feel free to reach out in the topic or via private chat.
Hope someone else loves this as much as I do β€οΈ

ps I just vape this anywhere and everywhere btw, i only expect to be busted if i encounter a sniffer dog π
Hm, I'd not thought of that, since I'm a dedicated nicotine addict, but a lot of people use vaping to cut down by slowly reducing the strength of nicotine in their vapes, so I see no reason some THC shouldn't help with that!
Doesnβt really work. Using ecig dilutants with THC oils.
I just vape on my flower. Then have a good old pull on my ecig π
I just vape on my flower. Then have a good old pull on my ecig π
When you say doesn't really work, I have to disagree, being nicely buzzed right now off it π
Iβm sure itβs fine. If you vape it all within a week or so.
Leave it any longer than that and it will start to separate.
Try using PEG. Not Veg Glycerin if you have that issue.
A friend of mine used to make a very serviceable eliquid using 80% PEG and 20% VG and a couple of ounces of shake.
Heβd let the shake steep for at least a month in the liquid. Shaking daily. Then just strained it through some muslin.
It didnβt set the world on fire. Buzz-wise. But it was decent enough. Tasted great.

Greetings from Phnom Penh
Happy to be back in the land of happiness biggies. Savage here in Phnom Penh as you might imagine but $200 for a nice apartment and $2 a gram for the weed, I should start shipping it...
Last year I bought half an oz for $10 from one of those happy pizza places.
It was actually a really nice smoke. Wasnt a knock out Alaskan Thunderfuck kind of smoke but still very nice.
It looked like regular bud , donβt know if it was a landrace, it wasnβt leafy at all.
Enjoy my friend!

Remember staying on the khaosan road and missing our flight home and staying till our visa ran out in the 90s. Boss place
When I lived there from 2000-2003 it was hard to buy anything decent, just shit ditch weed from the motodops. You could get the same from the Russian market. Cannabis was considered something for old people to take, they would sprinkle it in their tea, things must have changed. The drugs of choice were heroin and yaba.
Now its meth everywhere, but thankfully you can get White Widow, Amnesia Haze etc for $8 a gram
Ive got my own online English school. I work 4pm to 9pm Mon to Fri and all weekends..for abou $500

Are we getting another payment option or not? (aka not another alt-coin topic)
I'm a big advocate for this website, I've been here 4 years and happily spent a good amount of money here but I will not throw another 10/20quid at BTC fees ever again, and I really do mean that, it's just a stupid amount of waste that even though I can manage I can't justify it.
We've heard time and time again about other coins being added, lb's own coin being developed.... nothing concrete and nothing happens. Why can't LTC be added nobody has ever said the reason?
I don't want to give up on LB but 100% this is my line in the sand now, are we ever getting an alt coin? if not just tell us. This is absolutely not a dig at the borgs/owners etc who run this site but I need to know if this place is still going to be my home of weed in the future, I want it to be!
Clearly lots of us feeling this way.

littlebiggy does not process payments and has called for new payment processors to work with, that's what we are. they are probably laconic about this because they can't speak for us and our progress (or any other team, we are aware of at least 1 other working on solana).
it is not a trivial matter to process payments, refunds and disputes to the standards little biggy is requiring for new payment processors: no-trust, blockchain based, open source with little biggy as an oracle on a smart contract. to accomplish this with the required security surrounding such a project is time intensive and we are still months away from launch.
we understand your feelings (and look forward to turning them into a customer relationship!) but you should understand that lb is supportive of our efforts to bring you an alternative.

Appreciate the response and I am genuinely grateful to everyone involved in working on littlebiggy it's an important site to a lot of us, which I guess is why we're all so keen for a solution :)
So if I've got it right you will be implementing a new separate payment processor for a new stable-coin while I guess transaxe will continue to handle btc payments? and possibly another separate processor will handle another coin? Sounds like there's still a long wait ahead unfortunately but it is good to hear at least that lb are supportive of the work your doing hopefully you have the backing you need.
Do you know if implementing an alt-coin to the current transaxe processor was ever an option or am I being over simplistic in thinking their processor could be adapted like that? Are transaxe involved at all with your project? it seems a shame if you have to build completely from scratch.
Glad you understand the frustration and hope you know even though I'm moaning the effort is appreciated!

Personally I think transaxe.com is a contracted processor that chooses to only work with btc. For LB to use any other currency requires a whole new willing and able providerβ¦.
Thats exactly the feeling I'm getting from it as well mate and its a massive shame if true but it would explain why nothings happened for so long.
Who knows though its difficult to guess this place at the best of times. I'll be sticking to my guns and just wishing blockhead and anyone else working on an alternative the best of luck because this place has been restricted to btc for far too long now.

Kinda feel you just said in your response there just how complicated it is. I am with you 100% but the other alternative is to goto my local dealer. I am old took mne long enough to figure this out!
Be nice wouldn't it? lol I really don't mean it as a dig at the borgs or whoever but we only ever get vague and cryptic responses and then nothing happens anyway. I'm not a self-important kinda bigga but there are options out there and there are solutions to BTC too so with whats happening to bitcoin at the mo it feels like crunch time to me.
Come on borgs please, there's a lot of us who've been here paying up for a long time now and we just wanna hear something real <3

glad to hear development is alive! but increasing fees have been a very good indicator to buy bitcoin. i started putting away a few pounds of btc every time i feel that pinch. i not only rationalise paying a bigger fee i have by far the best investment of my lifetime ;)
I feel like the posts get traction when the BTC fees go up and then everything quietens down once they drop again. I get there must be a lot to it but with the money this site must make with its commission fees, if a small % was directed to someone with the know how a few years ago, I really feel it would have been done by nowβ¦

βWe were honestly not expecting to see this kind of cross-aisle effects of pain sensitivity,β said Prof. Lee, who started thinking about the research ideawhile enjoying theoral freezingexperienceinhisdentistβs chair. βWhen we first found it, we thought it might be a fluke. Thatβs why we ran a replication study. We found it again. We ran extended replications and follow-up studies. We kept finding it.β
Interesting, I have a high pain tolerance but I can't stand other humans, nevermind their politics!

snoop done with smoking weed
Snoop last 'quit' when promoting a children's book, I believe? Snoop is now not combusting, but has an edibles range to promote. Seems suspect. I bear Snoop no ill will: he was superb live at Live 8.

Home holiday binge smoking - anyone else do this? Or have a better name?
I find if I smoke all the time it gets pretty ropey pretty quickly - all the effects I want disappear and i just end up lazy, stupid and paranoid - so most of the time I don't smoke at all, then, every now and again I'll get totally fucking wasted 24/7 for two or three weeks. Like a holiday. Does anyone else do this, or similar? I do like to get, like, REALLY stoned, morning to night, mind, when I am smoking. Can't really do that every day.
Having a lot of little tins of different strains I find helps. I essentially just do single hit extractions on a Dynavap. So the bud has to give me a tickle off a couple of tokes.
Even the ropiest shake can have a nice effect. So I just tailor what I fancy at any given time.
I get bored of strains really quickly too. Which doesnβt help. I think I have about 10 different options on hand. Which probably changes me from a toker to a collector. π€·ββοΈ
Or a complete nerd. I love the 1g samples on here. π
I only actually get quite stoned about once a week. Usually around the weekend.
I do genuinely find that strain rotation is the key to keeping small doses effective.

crack on mate, taxonomize away. when cannabis is finally legalized and companies with shareholders flood the market with shit commercial rubbish we will need people like you for whatever the cannabis equivalent of the campaign for real ale will be. you can organize festivals and print newsletters and try and get local politicians and journalists on side by getting them fucked up in the afternoon. if you do not remember the eighties this will mean nothing to you at all, but you should google it because it is your future and a valuable one at that, you nerd. ;)
i will have died of either old age or throat cancer by then, alas, as will you have if you actually do remember the eighties. i'm thinking you probably don't you have a dynavap.

βTaxonomise awayβ
Thatβs genius ππ€π and spot on.
I bought my first ever 1/8th of Gold Seal hash in 1986. Β£8. It was a chilly November. I was 15. Got it off a mates mum. And sheβd not wanted to sell us anything until we were 16. Which was very responsible of her.
I reckon my pal and I probably wasted about half of it pissing about trying to work it out. Shitβs hard when you are 15 and there is no internet, and the nearest decent bookshop (Compendium in Camden) is 50 miles away.
None of us knew shit.
Back then it were all fields of course. Far as the eye can see. Streets paved with black microdots, mushrooms, pink speed and bushweed.
Exploding seeds. βThatβll send you blind. That seed exploding willβ.
When you buy an 1/8th and half of it is seeds.
You look for better stuff. When most of your joints are like 1970s joke shop exploding cigars.
Nobody went blind. Just opened their eyes more. And tried to find less seedy weedπ

fucking hell you're older than i am the future is fucked. where are the nerd kids?!?
should have guessed you are called syd barrett.
ha ha pink 'champagne' speed as if angel d and hundreds and thousands weren't bad enough. i've sometimes wondered if the terrible amounts of sugar and chemicals in the food we ate as children in the 70s and 80s contributed towards the unfettered chemical debauchery we all seemed to think was such a great idea in the 90's. i mean, after eating wham bars and dinosour eggs every day for lunch for five years lines of pink speed, pretty branded pills and lsd down the park all seem pretty normal, yeah? i'm still not right.

Preach brother. Those days of biting all the choccy off a Texan bar before making the chewy bit last ages are sadly long gone.
Nesquik and Angel Delight. Seems to be less Swiss Roll and Birds Custard mentioned nowadays too.
Try that shit. ππ if you are having a dinner party. Simply grate some of that posh Green and Blacks ginger stuff on top.
Food of the frickinβ Gods that.
As far as eating all kinds of crap when we were kids and did it turn us all into hopeless fiends? I think your hypothesis holds some merit. π

That's an interesting smoking style. I like the sound of those 2 or 3 weeks!
A bit of strain rotation and laying off it during the day helps me to keep at it every day.

To a lesser extent I do this. I fluctuate between less and more rather than loads and nothing lol.
Generally I live by the rule: hash after lunch - flower after evening meal. As much as I feel like.
Although, if I get some really nice bud, I will smoke more rather than less π€£ it's all a false economy.

Aye, I think maybe that is down to effect of your vaping vs me wasting half by shoving it in a spliff π€£

Hey everybody,
We hope there is some fellow space exploration lovers amongst the community!
We recently watched this video from YouTube and the theoretical possibilites of faster space travel has always fascinated us...
Any Star Trek fans will be pleased to know this theory was inspired from the series.

Anyone on here familiar with sapphire medical? just seen online that they prescribe medical cannabis..
One thing i know is that for some cases they require 2 failed medications, i wasnt willing to try another pfizer induced depressive episode so ended up here. Might try chatting to the docs again
I'm on oral morphine and tramadol, and 1 or 2 more lol... fkn hate opiates.. make me feel like some dirty heroin addict... so spaced out I don't know what fkn day it is..
Ah thatβs gash man. Sorry to hear that.
Agreed on the opiates. Doctors think itβs ok to dish them out like candy (not the morphine or your circumstances) but weed thatβs a no WTAF

its like i said to the mrs bro,,, the big pharma comps push the doctors to always revert to the medicine route,, it makes everyone involved money! ive always found it weird that no matter what happens or why you went but you always seem to leave the GPs with a fkn prescription lol.
its the same with the mrs, shes constantly getting pushed anti depressants from the GP, its like were the test subjects, everything is fixed with a pill or powder these days, since the mrs has been using edibles she hasnt touched a pill, not has as many 'issues' and is loving her new lease of life,
free the weed and the gov lose plenty dollar or they will tax it to hills, either way were fucked lol

That's proper shite, think I'll give it a miss then.
I'd really only be doing it to have the legal protection if caught and for work but seems like a shitload of effort for some second-rate bud.

Thatβs what I thought but like most it was the cover it provides.
Not sure on other clinics rules are.

explore before you ignore my friend,, ive done no work apart from sit on my laptop, for the legal cover its defo worth a wee investigation,
the more ppl use it for their medical needs the less the pharma comps make,, 'for now' but im literaly using it for work, can beat a doctors note lol also i feel as though it will make it more socialy acceptable the more ppl see it,

right so i canx my app with them and discussed why payment was so high, so if you sign upto their survey programme your prescription and appointments will only ever cost Β£50, this is so they can send the research to the imperial collage hospital in london to aid further legalisation and knowledge..
ive since signed up and when the refund appears ill rebook at Β£50 thank fuck lol... Β£210 is alot just to be semi legal...

I've been considering going to Cantourage for a consultation however I did wonder about the failed meds thing. I'd be getting it for depression but I've never taken anti-depressants, mainly due to having seen what they do to other people and how hard it can be to get yourself weaned off them.
I wasn't sure if they always insist on you having tried those in all cases as a blanket rule though. Did you have a consultation and they then rejected you for a prescription?

I found cantourage to a better legal route, they do non irradiated bud which tbh isn't bad. Its just a lot of hassle and when you have places like LB it just doesn't seem worth it. Unless you need to have evidence of a legal prescription.
Totally agree.
I get it for cover with work ect but I just could not be arsed with the hassle π

Thatβs it in a nutshell - itβs legal. Itβs a defence if you happen to be over the limit if swabbed at the roadside, helps with employers if ever asked to produce a sample and itβs great to be able to vape in smoking areas of bars, cafes etc without worrying too much. I just buy the cheapest legal medical bud available - usually Β£50 for 10g of low grade, you get your prescription as proof of medical need then simply buy off here. I do have a genuine medical need to be fair but until the quality improves in the uk clinics then Iβll keep coming here to top up. And you canβt get hash prescribed either though which is frustrating. Love my hash. Apparently you can in Germany, Australian medical markets.
I know a few that do just that but itβs also adding in appointment fees which at the very least is quarterly
My neighbour went down the medical route and has gone back to buying illegally, as you have to pay for consultations every month or so to be reviewed again, thatβs on top of paying for your prescription which worked out at I think 10g for Β£130 if I remeber right, can get cheaper stuff but itβs all Mostly irradiated which just destroys any terps.
Plus if they find out you smoked your prescription oooh you in trouble π.
Still a long way to go until itβs worth it here I think.

Yes mate, there are a few clinics in the UK, Sapphire is just one of them. Since 2018, specialist doctors can prescribe flower, oil and carts. You need to have a recognised medical condition. Private prescription though so you have to pay. Prices range from Β£6 to Β£12 a gram. Carts and oil are a different price range. Not tried them.
I had a provisional appointment but decided against it but itβs still on the back burner
ive booked an app, the legal side of it will help with work and the rozzers,,, Β£210 for a fkn consultation ffs,,,
Initial consultation should only be about Β£50 to Β£100. Not sure what clinic youβre going to but Iβd shop around. You can use any clinic in the UK. Doesnβt need to be in youβre local area.
its a combination of 3 different needs so i booked with the specialist that had the greater knowledge of all 3, but like others have said its mainly for the supported 'smoke legally' allowance it will give me for work and a little piece of mind knowing the chances of my shit getting taken will be slim lol,
