How can anyone know anything for sure now days? But anyone claiming Bitcoin as a Ponzi while at the same time refusing to point out that money printed to take value from common people's saved wealth is a much more sinisterly designed scheme than Bitcoin ever could be... I don't trust advice from people that aren't trying to exit the current system in some way. npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig Looking down on the clouds moving up the valley, pushing up from the front range. https://blossom.primal.net/f468ed39f17b9afbed8b7d77ce53991727aa6b362ddfe162b8182bb8e10bb6f0.jpg npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig I live mostly in the present. But I often place myself 30 or more years in the future to reflect on what my old future self might believe about what my present self was doing. I never wish myself to be younger, but I can imagine my future old self jumping at the opportunity to live what I'm living right now. npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig How to Fail: A skill I teach my football players and students. Learning how to fall (failing) is one of the unsung skills you must master to build a rewarding life. When I was young, I didn't think much about getting 'good' at falling down, but I certainly felt the pain of those falls before I learned how to handle them. As a dirt bike rider and football player, I fell over and over again. In the beginning, the falls aren't that traumatic; at a basic level, hitting the ground doesn't require much skill. But as you reach higher levels in any activity, the falls become more intense, requiring the ability to fall gracefully. Broken collarbones and fractured wrists made it easy for me to see how the mechanics of a fall truly work. Life and business difficulties aren't much different. You will fail, and as you grow, those failures can become significant setbacks if you don't know how to land. Just as you learn to 'roll with the punches' in physical sports, you must learn how to recover, learn, and rise to the occasion repeatedly in life. Getting good at failing provides the foundation you need to take on bigger projects and move to the next level. npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig A facing west mountain property, you don't have direct sun in the mornings.

The rules are confusing on purpose to protect those in power. Old: Know all the rules before you play the game. New: Get in the game and learn along the way. npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig Core vs. Knots rules. From the casino gaming industry to the football field, I'd say I've been trained to be a rule follower. In both disciplines, there are many hard rules, even stupid ones, that are so dumb they really shouldn't be followed but must be to play the game. Inside systems like this, unwritten soft rules have room to proliferate. Unwritten rules are more subtle and harder to follow, and are often more punitive or rewarding when broken. At the same time, these soft rules are often the easiest rules to break and get away with. When complexed rule based systems are used, it's hard to catch those that want to take advantage of the system. It creates many rule breakers. Stytems based on large sets of rules are a cat and mouse system by design. Sometimes you have to put in extra hard rules in systems like this because many people will try to take advantage the others who are playing by both the hard written rules as well as the unwritten ones. npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig A calm morning in the mountains. https://blossom.primal.net/4cfa8b23484a1c5be39f1a2def48eda572e93e667c5b16dbd59212a916661cb9.jpg npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig Defiance: Build resistance like muscle.

Switched from one addicting substance to another. These companies learned a lot from their mistakes the first go around. They now manipulate research through financial influence at universities and government agencies and stopped doing their own research for cover. They can start adding their new addicting sugars much earlier with baby formula and cereal. The new model also invest in the medicine and procedures that are used to maintain the addiction as people age through the end. It's a sinister machine designed for maximum profits built on the old cigarette model. npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig Oh there's a person behind ever byte of spam. npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig Asking nicely to stop spamming me has never worked.

Spamers are a special breed of people. npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig Ground beef for sure. Abut 25 lbs per month. I've been enjoying he sliced carne asada that they generally have a Costco for $8.50 a pound. I generally load up on that when they put it out. Lots of fat and enjoyable. npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig I eat meat so I have access to fat. Many fail at carnivore because they eat too lean of cuts. We need the fat more than the protein. npub15tpq66zk23d3gk78dn06llgymkk5ukxh8v349hx9m6r25jar3easyyqdr3 coloradocraig I believe sugar may be the hardest addiction to break because of social norms. With heroin, crack cocaine, and cigarettes, most people in society will help you quit and support you. Quitting alcohol is gaining more support because a larger percentage of people are joining that club. Sugar takes between 2 and 4 months to break the addiction, and during that time frame you will be prodded to eat something loaded with sugar on a daily basis.

Ren Tien luck is part of the Tien-Ti-Ren system, also known as The Cosmic Trinity in classical Chinese thoughts on life. Tien (Heaven) luck refers to the destiny or circumstances you are born into, such as your birth chart, astrology, and factors outside your control. Di (Earth) luck is influenced by your environment and Feng Shu. How well you harmonize with your surroundings and the energies around you made a difference. Ren (Human/Mankind) luck involves your own choices, actions, effort, education and attitude. Ren luck tended to be the most influential factor on the gambler's mind, because you could change and control your luck through decisions, past actions and your ablity to find patterns .
