Last Notes npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ So we’ve gotten a lot of rain over the past two days! We had water in the basement Tuesday, and I got it pumped out. Then, it rained yesterday. A lot! I stayed up overnight watching/checking the basement pump periodically throughout Wednesday night. Water continued to rise in basement despite the pump working all through the night. Somehow the dehumidifier tipped on its side. I heard it try many times to come on, but it did not stay on. I hope it still lives. (Logic says it should be dead, but it isn’t my nature to be too pessimistic…or, apparently, realistic… We shall see!) I hope my freezer still lives. It is on 6” of concrete blocks, and is on high-ish ground (for the basement). I prayed throughout the night that the rain would stop and that the pump would be able to catch/keep up with the water coming in the basement. But it seems I was answered with a “No”. We have better than 8” of water on the basement floor. I am eagerly waiting for the rain to cease, (Weather Channel app says it should e done soon - for today and tomorrow…) and that the temps outside to get into the mid/high-60’s. Then I’ll open the windows and let the warm air in! I’ll be calling someone to inspect/snake out the floor drain/tile in our basement. It has been open/working great for the 12 year we’ve owned the place. Have a great day, everybody! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ I’m finding that Claude is my go-to AI. I also use Chat GPT. Both are helpful. But I find the “free” time runs out way too fast. One thing I did with Claude - I spec’d out that I wanted Claude to create a day trading class/handbook for me to learn how to read charts and teach me how to trade stocks profitably within 30 days. I don’t know if the goal is attainable, given the student has an impaired memory. But I found the results interesting. Claude did what I asked - compiled illustrations, links to helpful YouTube videos presented by SME’s, compiled quizzes. I’m interested to see what the next ver of Claude can do! I think I see a Claude subscription in my future… npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning! ☕️ npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good night, NOSTR Friends! I hope you sleep well. My family went to bed, and I’m up watching David on Amazon.com. I’m not sure what we’re doing tomorrow, but I’m sure the day will fill up. Sleep well, and I hope you have a great day tomorrow. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Man, Bro! Your family will be in my prayers! Best wishes and prayers for your wife’s healing. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Well said, Sir! Well said. A little back story, if you have a sec… I was healthy, working my dream job in IT. I woke up one morning to find I couldn’t walk straight. Kept stumbling. Ended up in the hospital (life flighted) and woke up to someone telling me I had 6x mini strokes. My vision and memory were affected & I can’t drive/ work. I always looked down on people who needed public assistance. Now that is how we eat. Anyway…I’m thankful to be alive and able to walk/enjoy my family. God provides, and I am thankful. I got to retire before age 50! LOL Take care, Friend! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ I used to think that when people complained about not enough money. Then I lost my health and ability to work. Now I genuinely don’t have the money & cannot hold/maintain a job. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Hello, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well. I am sitting outside enjoying the breeze and listening to the birds sing. It is a breezy 67 degrees out here, and the birds are singing. I’ve seen at least four trains go by today - two of them had a lot of empty car-carriers. I imagine they must be off to pick up a couple loads of new vehicles to take to dealerships. How is your day? Are you crossing things off your to-do list? I hope so! Have a great rest of your day! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good night, NOSTR Friend! I hope your day was good. I learned a little about the effects of not eating enough , and choosing the wrong foods. I started off by eating fruit (sugar high), and eating soup for lunch (another sugar high, feeling like I was really dragging. Then, about 3:00, I had a mid-afternoon snack (peanut butter) and that made me feel better, and held me until supper. Stupid mistake, really. Now it is evening, and time to start thinking about bed. I hope you have good sleep, and you wake up refreshed tomorrow morning. FWIW…. I saw a fellow on YouTube talking about atmospheric shenanigans tomorrow. I’ll post the fellow’s channel (link), so you can explore it. I know nothing about the channel, or the fellow’s knowledge/accuracy. Link: https://youtu.be/p4f7yz61OSQ?si=kYwTUXq8mhcas2ic Goodnight!!! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ My, the vacuum looks like a dragon. I really want to let it be…but floors will not get clean if I do. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ GM! ☕️ npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ ☕️ npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Beautiful!!! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well! It is overcast and 24 degrees in North Central Ohio. The Weather Channel says today’s high temp will be 38 lovely degrees. I will not be trading my jeans for shorts. (It is too cold, and nobody would appreciate that… 🤮🤮🤮) I’m puttering around in the kitchen. Butchered a pear and a plum. Next is to make coffee. Then I’ll get the ducks out and look for eggs. I’m going to check the mailbox to see if the veggie seeds I ordered last week have arrived! I hope they did! I hope you have a wonderful, productive day. Stay safe and do good! ☕️☕️☕️ npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good night, NOSTR Friends! Today opened with a BOOM! My region of the USA was treated to a close encounter with a 6’ meteorite first thing this morning. Now I’m getting ready to turn in for the night. I didn’t get as much done as I was hoping to - partly because I lost track of EDC items that I needed ( I love how strokes modified my memory a few years ago…), partly because my morning routine got turned on its head, and partly because my youngest little only had me to care for her today. (Wifey and the two eldest were at homeschool group day.) Sleep well, and I hope you wake refreshed and ready to take on the day tomorrow! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ True! But at the same time, it can all be so beautiful. I think of the pics of sunsets, scenery, flowers, and food I see posted on this platform. Have a great afternoon! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Same. I’m glad it didn’t (seem to) hit a population center and cause death or destruction! It made me think of things I’ve been reading about end times. I don’t know anything about your faith background/if…, but it made me think of where Jesus (Bible) talks about his return to earth being like a thief in the night (I think of sudden, unannounced, and startling). I’m not trying to say it was anything more than a rock that made a huge noise as it entered Earth’s atmosphere. 😀 Someone on YT seemed to think it was a fist-sizes space rock. Tiny! What would an asteroid sound like?! I hope to never find out. That noise really surprised me this morning! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ (Drooling…)😀 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ The guy that they were interviewing said the meteorite could have been about the size of a fist. Tiny! It makes me wonder about the devastation that could have been caused back in prehistoric times when they say that meteors crashed into the Earth. Wild! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ @npub13kw…wg2a How are things with the fire situation? Did they get it under control? Are y’all (and animals, etc.) safe? We had a meteorite strike somewhere in northern Ohio about 9A. Sounded and felt like a semi hit our house! Local news said (an hour later) it was a meteorite entering the atmosphere creating a sonic boom. First time I remember experiencing that! It made the house shake! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Don’t do that to me! I just finished lunch!!!😀 I hope you enjoyed your food! (It looks great!) npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Happy Tuesday, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well. It is cold (25) and quite breezy here in North Central Ohio. We are nearing our high temperature for today (28). This morning began with a boom! I live near the Ohio Turnpike and thought a semi truck wrecked, or a pict might have gone off the road and hit the front of the house (unlikely). Anyway, the house shook and there was a great big boom. After searching for potential damage to the house/fallen trees, I called a friend to confirm that others heard the noise, too. Then I went on FakeBook to see what was being said. It seems that the noise was heard across the region (Port Clinton to Youngstown, and south to Akron ). Or turns out that a meteorite entered the atmosphere and we all hear the sonic boom. (According to the National Weather Service). I’m posting a link to what a local TV station said about it…https://youtu.be/zgWaZzOtFHg?si=HxNbpV2aCEYtfoTP Well, I hope that’s the most exciting thing that happens here today! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ I’m glad you thought through some of these items in advance (especially energy & comms.) and I am glad you invested in them ahead of the need, too. How is the fire/wind situation? I hope the fire is nearing being fully contained. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Wow. I’ve never experienced a fire like that. I’m praying for your(family’s) safety npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well. I have an appointment this morning, so I need to keep this post quick. It is windy here in Northern Ohio this morning. And the high temp today is 40. Have a great day, and work hard! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Looks easier than what I did. I might try it. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ So…FWIW…this morning I remembered having seen a video on YT, but not having time/energy to fully digest the content. I decided to watch it later. Trouble with that is I didn’t have time to watch it this morning. I decided to have Claud analyze the content & analyze the concept, giving me feedback. I needed a transcript of the video, so I found a free service at: https://notegpt.io/youtube-transcript-generator. Once the transcript was complete, I copied it into Claud and told “him” to “analyze the theory explained in the following text. Tell me if it is valid, and the best way (financially, taxes, automation) to accomplish it.” Then I dropped the transcript in the command and hit “enter”. It took a while, but gave me back a 13-page Word doc with its results. I then asked if Claud saw any way to automate this process. It gave me pointers to automate the process. Now I need to read the document that Claud made. Thank you, @npub1zqm…x9fs !!! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well! I’m trying out something new. I want Claud to analyze and outline a YouTube video. Claud doesn’t have capabilities to do that in one step. So I copied the video link and went to google to find a service to transcribe the video for free. (https://notegpt.io/). If that completes, I’ll drop the text into a word doc and have Claud analyze that! Where there’s a will, there’s a…RELATIVE! (Sorry, I had to do that…😈) npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ I don’t go to many, but it is nice. I think it is a gymnasium at a Catholic Church. First time I was there, I was amazed at how much Gold I saw. Absolutely beautiful! Admussion is free. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ https://www.coinshows-usa.com/Cleveland-Coin-Expo npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Here is the link to the event info… https://www.coinshows-usa.com/Cleveland-Coin-Expo npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ I’ll see what I can find online. I was only told it is today. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Have fun looking at the herbs! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well this morning. It is currently 32 degrees with fair skies outside, and the Weather Channel app says to expect a high temp of 42. I may get to go to a coin show in Cleveland today. I love looking around there. So. Much. Shiney!!!!! Every time I get to go it makes me think of two things: Jerusalem in the times of King Solomon, and Heaven. In the times of King Solomon, gold was so plenteous that it was considered common! And the Book of Revelation speaks of streets of heaven being made of Gold. Anyway…I hope my neighbors go to the show and offer to take me along! Beyond that, I haven’t decided what to do today. I’ll visit the ducks, and see if they decided to pay any rent this week. And I need to evict the water that seems to think it belongs in my basement. So, with that, I’m going to wish you a good, profitable day! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ It is really windy in northern Ohio today. The power has blinked off numerous times. From what I see on The Weather Channel app, it looks like the wind speed will peak in the next hour and continue to slow overnight. The power has blinked off a number of times today. I saw a few downed trees while I was out earlier this afternoon. There’s nothing I can do about it, so I’m going to keep my head down and do my work! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning, NOSTR Friends! It is windy here in North Central Ohio this morning! The Weather Channel says to expect wind and rain this morning. High temp will be 53. I hear the wind, for sure! So far I don’t see/hear any rain. I don’t have much on my agenda for today. After doing normal morning stuff, and making a pot of coffee, I plan to wash dishes and vacuum floors. Then I plan to go with my dad to visit a longtime family friend who recently had a stroke. He’s recovering well; no slurred speech; still has a bright mind; good grip with both hands. He’s single and was just transferred to a nursing facility where he’ll continue to mend while receiving therapy to help him back to living at home. I hope you have a wonderful, productive day full of good things and accomplishments. Make someone’s day a little better! “This is the day which the LORD hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.118.24.KJV npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Thank you! It was a good visit (our kiddo has some developmental issues…). The doc pointed us in some directions that will hopefully help us know how to help Kiddo. Matters of the brain/development are not fixed with screwdrivers and pliers. This is WAY out of my league… Good night! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Thanks! I listened to the video while doing some work/projects around the house. I need to go back and learn/explore this. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good night, All! I’m gonna turn in for the night.i hope you have a good day tomorrow, and sleep well tonight! I hope to catch you in the morning! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you're well, and ready to take on the day. In north central Ohio (where I am), it is currently 31 with mostly clear skies.. The Weather Channel is saying to expect highs today of 45. We'll be spending time today with a neurologist, hoping they'll be able to point us toward answers and solutions to know how to help one of our family. As I was typing this, I noticed that a piece of music had changed on YouTube, and now a fellow was singing along. The lyrics sere particularly meaningful. Anyway, I think we'll be spending a few hours in Cleveland today. I hope your day is filled with good things, and that you accomplish many things. Love your family, do good-quality work, and be kind to others today! God bless you all! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ One or two of our ducks lay that color eggs. I don’t remember which breed, though. We have some that lay blue eggs, too. Very faint color. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Great! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ No!!! I’m sorry to hear this! Did it do any damage? Years ago my in-laws had their roof replaced and the contractor didn’t put down adequate tarps - a lot of water came in. When it rained. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ The digital world can be a powerful tool. You can be enslaved by anything: money, things, enslaved by what you think people want from you… Finding peace with/through God & surrender to Him is where freedom is found. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Is the rain holding off? npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ I hope it holds off for you (or clouds are blown/directed a different way). npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ We got married when I was 26, but I told her I wanted 4 years as a couple before having kids. I was afraid of what that would be like & wanted the freedom to go and do as a young couple. But God gave us 3x beautiful babies. Our firstborn graduates high school this year. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ It is. When I see them, I remember a verse in the Bible (Isaiah40:31) “but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/isa.40.31.KJV Gotta run! Have a great day! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ I think it is so neat to see them! We didn’t have them here until I was in my teens. So, about 30 years ago? I remember the first time there was an eagle in our area - the whole family piled into the car to go see. Now it is common to see them. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ It sounds like you raised her right! I wish I/we would have started kiddos earlier. Another instance of “The Wife was Right.” Congratulations! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well. It is warm and damp here in northern Ohio today. The Weather Channel app says our current temperature is 60 and the expected high is 67 with 100% of rain. The birds are singing and eagles are nearby in trees. My wife pointed out their nest a little while ago. Well, we’re in Sandusky right now, but will be home later - I need to check how much water is in the basement. Our storm drain in the basement appears to be clogged. Well, I hope you have a great day! Be productive, and keep stacking those sat while they’re on sale!!! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good night, NOSTR friends! I hope you sleep well. I’m about to turn in for the night after watching comedian Fred Klett on YouTube. Now I’m regretting having stayed up so late. Well, I hope you sleep well. I’m off to bed. If I remember, I’ll be on in the morning. Good night! 🛌😴💤🐑🐑🐑 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Thank you, Maria! I hope you sleep well, too! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good night, NOSTR Friends! I hope you had a good Tuesday. I went with my wife and two of the kiddos to homeschool group day and to have some regular maintenance done on the people mover. Then I either ate too much lunch, or ate something that doesn’t like me (I don’t remember that happening in the past…,wel, ever! I normally have a cast iron stomach. But I’ve felt uncomfortable all afternoon and evening! It was a long day! Now, after asking ChatGPT a lot of questions, it is nearly time for bed. I hope you sleep well, and have a great, productive day tomorrow! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well. It is cloudy here in north central Ohio. It is 38 degrees out, and our expected high temp today is 42 degrees. We are at the car dealership for an oil change. And soon we will head back to where our homeschool/tutoring group meets by to wait for them to finish their meeting day. I noticed that the Bitcoin price hasn’t changed an awful lot. It seems like the term I have heard is “range bound”. So…I haven’t been buying. Maybe I should. I was hoping the price would keep going down, but the current price is still a pretty good discount. Well, I’m going to sign off. Stay safe. Stay productive. Keep stacking! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Thank you! I didn’t think of looking at Strike. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ G’night, Maria! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good night, NOSTR Friends! The sun is down, the ducks are put to bed, and supper eaten. I did household chores, washed a bunch of dishes, and did some miscellaneous household chores, while listening to podcasts and YouTube videos. From what I can tell, tomorrow holds going to home school group, oil change and washing the people mover. I hope your day was good, and you sleep well tonight. I'm going to go look for an evening snack & a cup of coffee . npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Sounds like a good day! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ I’m glad you have the motivation to do that. If I tried, I would fall off the machine and hurt myself. Or I would end up stretching and my muscles decide to spasm. Glad you enjoy! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ This, and the constant updates/slowing of hardware are part of the reason I’m thinking this is my last non-Linux operating system. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ #asknostr I am looking into a possible loan against BTC holdings. Does anyone have experience with doing this? Recommendations? Cautions? I have seen/heard ads (LEDN) for borrowing against your BTC stack. I am interested to know: - Is their required payment like a monthly mortgage payment, or is it a balloon payment? - I am looking at conservative loan (borrow 20%-30% of collateral value), and I don’t want to deal with loan sharks. - What is the average term (months) of these loans? - is it better to borrow when BTC:USD is high or low? I already checked this with ChatGPT, but am curious your opinions/experiences. - Helpful tips for a new borrower? npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Happy Monday morning, NOSTR friends! It is the beginning of a new week and the weather forecast for the next two weeks here in Northern Ohio seems to be looking more and more spring-like! Right now it is 20° and fair outside, a our expected high today will be 40°. I don’t have much to say today, but I hope you enjoy the day, your work, and your coffee/tea! I’m going to finish my first coffee of the day, and likely have a second when I have breakfast with a friend. Have a great day, and get lots done! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ @npub1587…kv0n Good morning from Ohio! I hope you’re well. Can you do a segment about how LEDN works? When is best time (cycle low/high) to borrow against BTC? How to decide the percentage to borrow against collateral? I want to confirm what the validity of what ChatGPT is telling me. From conservative perspective (not risky) perspective. Generally, fees & costs? Tax implications of borrow vs earn? (Yah, I know you’re not my CPA…) Known firms to talk with/avoid? Thank you! Thank you, Sir! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well. It is 38 and sunny this morning. The Weather Channel app says our expected high today is 43. I am watching news this morning, and it seems that time has run out for the IRGC (the islamic government in Iran) to make meaningful concessions in talks with US President Trump. I hate war. I have always been impressed with the technology and devices of war (fighter jets, bombers, guns, missiles, submarines…): I love technology. But the suffering and loss of life—those are what sadden me most! I find myself longing more and more for the day when Jesus returns to earth, overthrows evil, and sets up his perfect and peaceful kingdom - ruling for eternity! Well, enough about that. I’m looking forward to our firstborn returning home from touring colleges on the west coast. She has been gone a little more than a week. I wish you a happy and safe Saturday. Where possible, enjoy time with your family. If possible, make time to go to church as a family, both to learn and fellowship with God’s people. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good evening, All! I hope your Friday was good. It was warming for being a day in late February. It was in the mid-40’s. I visited with a friend, washed dishes, took care of the dog, and took the family to dinner. Now we’re on the way home. I’m looking forward to tomorrow afternoon - our oldest will return home from a trip to the west coast with friends to tour colleges. The house has been quieter than normal this week. Well, good night! I hope you have a great day tomorrow! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Don’t be racist. I’m white. I applaud anyone who buys bitcoin, regardless of…well, any physical characteristics. If you’re breathing, you should have Bitcoin! Happy stacking!!! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Thank yo for sharing! I will look at Cryptomator. Many, many years ago I used Truecrypt - until they told users to quit using it and disappeared. Since then I haven't searched - just kinda watched - for a replacement. I've always wondered why they left so abruptly... npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ FWIW, I’m not a Tump fanboy, either. Maybe he’s the cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry?? IMO, he’s better than Cackles… npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Wow! The dude whose comment your read (Oak_Grove?) at minute 30 was on Fire! (I kinda agree with him.). If I wanted political views, I’d listen to Rush or Beck, Alex Jones (we’re all gonna die!!!) 👽👽🛸🛸, or Mark Levin (guy sounds like a rat with a voice box). But I like Bitcoin And… and The Survival Podcast (Jack Spirko)!!! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Hi, All! It is warmer here in northern Ohio. I think I read our high temperature will be 40. Our snow is melting! 😀 After watching the Bitcoin prices for the past hours, it seems as if the price dip might be over. (At least for now). Personal political views aside, I was hoping the President’s speech last night would push prices down another $10,000. I had mapped out price targets for buys as the price was coming down, but they didn’t get realized. Oh well, I’ll keep watching! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 Way to be! Learn those skills! I’m glad I learned from Mom those many years ago. I wish I would have learned more… npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good night, All! I hope your day was productive, and full of good things! I kept up with my to-do list through the day. And got all the mandatory things done, and even got into a project for myself. It was a good day! Now, I’m going to wind down with a cup of tea while listening to music and chatting/learning with GPT. I hope you have a great evening and good sleep! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ THANK YOU!!! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Thank you! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ It looks like #asknostr is the winner! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ I forgot the proper syntax to ask a question on NOSTR. #asknostr @asknostr Question: I bounce between iris & Primal for accessing NOSTR. The sign-in process on iris is simple/straightforward. Primal seems to require that I scan a QR code with my phone. Is there a way to use Primal that does not require using my phone/QR code? Also, is there a PC version of Damus? I use that to read/post from my phone. Thank you! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well. It is cold this morning (15 degrees), but the Weather Channel App say your expected high temperature is 31. Bitcoin is still on sale! I’m happy (as a buyer) to see the price depressed, but am curious what is causing the price to fall. Oh well, I’ll keep picking up as much of the orange rocks (BTC) as I can while prices are lower. Ok, it is time to get back to work - I have a list. Have a great day! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Happy Monday Evening, All! I hope you’re well this cold Monday evening! I just finished moving snow so my wife can get in/out the driveway. Have you seen the price of Bitcoin?!? It is like a Black Friday sale!!!! I love it!!! I set a budget of how much money I could afford to spend, and divided it into 6 “piles”. I’m making disciplined buys as/when the spot price drops to those targets. I hope to see all those targets in the next two days! I hope you’re taking advantage of the dip and stacking Sats with me! Take care, stay warm, and keep stacking! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ I was just scanning NOSTR. The last line of your post caught my eye. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ *Current situation… npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Correct situation in north-central Ohio. Windy and 21 degrees. Ducks are in the coop & dog/cats are in the house. Take care! https://image.nostr.build/1e65227b4b3f20174382f796e9abedefe343d17090f5c31d20ac58a1db2d8dd7.jpg https://image.nostr.build/dc24836e0a32cadb25c3f9f45581d2cb29821816ed13ed7da145c80ce9833006.jpg https://image.nostr.build/1e65227b4b3f20174382f796e9abedefe343d17090f5c31d20ac58a1db2d8dd7.jpg https://image.nostr.build/dc24836e0a32cadb25c3f9f45581d2cb29821816ed13ed7da145c80ce9833006.jpg https://image.nostr.build/1e65227b4b3f20174382f796e9abedefe343d17090f5c31d20ac58a1db2d8dd7.jpg https://image.nostr.build/dc24836e0a32cadb25c3f9f45581d2cb29821816ed13ed7da145c80ce9833006.jpg npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ @npub13kw…wg2a I hope you’re well and survived the winter weather fun. I’m on the way outside to clear the driveway. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Did you survive the cold & ice OK? It is cold here in Ohio. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ 👍 npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well. Today in northern Ohio is overcast with rain, and high temperatures reaching 41. I’ll be making coffee ☕️in a few minutes, and making my to-do list so I stay moving and productive through the day. I hope you have a great day! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Good night, All! I’m headed to bed. I hope you have a good night with restful sleep. npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ True. Thank you for pointing that out! npub1tn45t05zlvssh7xz3ftfu6d2hszg0kpmdagy9engj4wykwpgm56s0kx968 traderJ Tanks so much for your detailed answer! I was thinking of Bitaxe miners. Something that doesn’t require a lot of power.
