I really miss the @blocktrades crypto exchange. Lately I’ve just been swapping HBD for HIVE on the internal exchange. For Americans there’s not a lot of fiat on/off ramps but might be an option to buy

Since Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor statistics to be replaced by a sycophant, remaining technocrats know that they need to come up with numbers that make Dear Leader look good.

Not sure about this, but I think there are a few jurisdictions in the U.S. where 16-year-olds can vote in local elections but for federal elections it’s uniformly 18. Nominally, states can control the

I go to see horse racing once every few years but never make more than a minimum ($2) bet. Fun to watch, especially if you’re standing near the finish line. I have ridden fairly tame horses a few times

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!

She looks calm and serene in that pic, but don't let her fool you. She's an overgrown neurotic puppy at heart.

She has put up with my shit for 3 decades and still wants to have fun and live life. It’s not been quite that long for me (second marriage for both of us) but yeah, I’m so glad she puts up with me. And

I’ve only had two beers (so far) but the night is young, so drunk gets the vote. Sadly, I don’t think there’s a big demand for overweight old-guy amateur porn. A niche market, I suppose.
