Gm nostriches, lectures finished for the module for another year. Hope I was able to connect with some of them, didn’t stray into the explicit “free speech” domain, but I think I got my point across thanks to Rosenberg’s awesome quote. Research isn’t just something loser boffin’s do in labs, it’s what the pioneers do (🫡🙌 ), when building conviction, it’s what we do when responding to normie slop, and “people” might not like it, and that is absolutely fine. The slide after this, I let them know the “treasure hunt” I’ve been going on about for weeks is actually related to bitcoin……. Now to see if someone can actually connects the dots and wins/takes 75k sats (out of my own pocket). channelling your don’t give a fuck attitude, in my own whiny British way. 🫡🙌

Gm nostriches, watching the news this morning, shock 😮 horrors about the awful companies using shrinkflation, scimpflation or greedflation (WTF) to sell smaller products for sometimes more money…….. the consumer “expert” was clueless, unsurprisingly. Worse still, one of the presenters used to be economic secretary to the treasury, he should know better. Massive issue with this misinformation and focusing on the greedy corporations, although good there was a less price sensitive small business owner, but didn’t mention about her profit margins being squeezed…. When the value of the currency declines (commodity prices increase) what do they do? 1) Put up prices? Lose customers 2) sell smaller products? Get this backlash from tv idiots wanting them to be more transparent. 3) do nothing until you make a loss on the products you sell? Go out of business!!!! Balancing a little shrinkage with smaller increases in prices is the logical way forward for them, but not printing money rather than growing more cocoa/ ditching inflation currencies would also be good. And for the love of god, don’t blame the billionaires, these companies are publicly traded, when owned by the family cadburys was a much better company that actually sold chocolate!!!

Time for the boomers to go all in on Bitcoin!!!!

Apologies, they are stopping “no fault evictions”, meaning if the landlord wanted to sell (for example) or increase the rent, they wouldn’t be able to get rid of the current renters, unless they had broken the tenancy agreement. Prioritising the renters over the person who actually owns the asset. I wans’t very clear. 🫡🙌

Uk rental market changes just saw all landlords put on notice to get hell out of Blighty!!!. Hey freaks, bitcoin had no fault evictions, when ever you want to get out, 24-7 365 days a year, you can cash out, also no gas certification, no blocked toilets and absolutely no leaky rooves!!!!

Better than junk!

Moved the pin badge onto the jacket in prep for the lecture. Along with my “unofficial employee” lanyard, I think I subtly get my point across. But given I don’t give a shit what they do, doubt I’m at risk of being called a shill!!!

Now, whether to finish the lecture with “Bitcoin and nostr, or the gulags” 🫣

Gm nostriches, making the most of the newly light morning while it lasts with #coffeechain, back into the fiat grind this morning, ready to send some final years students out into the wild with their research……….. Now, will what I say light a spark or be just another “this is an opportunity” speech where they shut off. Little do they know this is their future career they need to face and whether their lives will be little more than VR, Netflix and jerking off!!! Also, budget fun is closer than you think!

Comes around so quickly, just after starting my lectures, I’m already at week 6, the final lecture. Bitcoin treasure hunt, still unclaimed, 75k sats worth….. Now, to fire them up before they really get into the project; Quote 1; Andrew Garfield Quote 2; The Goal by Eli Goldratt Quote 3; A lodging of Wayfaring Men. Question is, will it be enough to get disillusioned final year undergraduates to want to actually go and do some work, who cares about them, I’ll be fired up. But the big question is , am I brave enough to mention the ideas of free speech in a British educational institution!?!?!?

Quality mkii (I think) golf gti while out “up north” with the fam. Don’t make em quite like that, even if the weeks were some bbs travesty!!!

Ha ha ha, “get a promotion to afford your freddos!!!”

Or viewing it as the value of the Euro is precisely zero!

When someone says “you can’t say that”, unless you’re saying it repeatedly leading to it being viewed as harassment, it appears you can, even in the UK. Also, if they don’t like it, ask them to explain why you can’t say something about it. Social pressure is a form of censorship.

Even with the essential non AI typo!!! Cheers 🍻

There are likely nuances and contracts that will allow what you describe (I had something similar about rent rises each year), but given what the government here are doing, they’re not good on details or any awareness of unintended consequences, so they’ve probably put something in place to prevent putting logical and reasonable contacts in place…….. they simply hate individuals with assets or anyone earning wages, crazy times.

Gm Dan, need to sort myself out, haven’t been #grownostr enough recently.

Something I wrote the other day. Thought you might be interested. https://primal.net/Dug/Nostr-and-Bitcoin-or-the-Gulag-1miukc

Great post , you’re on fire. We’re here to preach signal, we’re here to share thoughts that are meaningful, I’m not looking to harvest the sats of the zap happy!!!! I want to be the one that zaps more than I’m zapped, to maybe persuade someone to keep going and write the next post. 🫡🙌

Locked and loaded Jack. Bring it on. Hard money or become an interpretive dancers dancer!!!!

My proudest badge of honour from my time on Twitter. 🫡🙌 fuck CSW!!!
