The biggest problem that I am going to have when some of these altcoins pop is figuring out how to convert them to BTC.

« on: February 29, 2024, 08:53:25 AM »The entire culture, as someone who has never been around it, seems cringeywrestling sounded pretty good if you were into 24/7 chawdips to avoid eating and also getting a bunch of medieval skin worm things and maybe running around for hours wearing sweaters or some stupid crap
they did latex suits when I was in high school. my dumb high school take was "if you're the toughest mother rough rider that you say you are, why are you so afraid of wrestling someone in the higher weight bracket?"

I thought the same thing until my daughter started wrestling. Totally changed my outlook on the sport once we got involved. Also, the weight cutting thing has changed a fair amount from the past. Kids will still cut weight, but I don't think the majority of them are cutting a crazy amount. Most of the kids we are around just pay very close attention to what they put in their bodies during the season (and after for that matter). The only kids we had that struggled a bit with weight from time to time used the YOLO approach to diet during the season.

Discipline and perseverance are the main things I would point to. It is a great sport for girls too and girls wrestling is absolutely exploding right now.

« on: February 28, 2024, 02:01:38 PM »More and more I believe wrestling is invaluable for developing positive traits in youths.
Once you’ve wrestled, everything else is easy.
I keep trying to convince Lil SF of this very thing. I never wrestled, but I am of the opinion that learning to wrestle at a young age solves many problems in JH, HS, and even college. I may force him to give it a try.
I wouldn't recommend forcing him. My recommendation would be to take him to some wrestling tournaments so he can see what it is all about. Hopefully he will have some buds who wrestle that can help convince him to try it.
Not sure where you are at, but going to a college event would be pretty cool for him. It will be freestyle instead of folkstyle, but he will get the general idea.

« on: February 28, 2024, 01:54:52 PM »What is driving the latest BTC run?Less sell pressure from outflows from GBTC, record buying inflows into the BTC ETFs. Might also be a real time indicator that inflation isn’t cooling as much as we think, numbers come out tomorrow.
Also yes the halving is in April. Right now ~900 new BTC are entering the market every day. Will be ~450 after.
Thanks. I haven't been following this much lately.

Not necessarily little kid sports, but this year the KWCA and the Shriners are having a first annual Wrestling Dual event like the Shrine Bowl in football. Found out this morning that our daughter is going to get to wrestle in this deal.

My daughter has an old school turntable that I hooked up to an external speaker. Had to buy a pre-amp to make it work. Finally bought a cheap receiver that has a phono input and didn't need the pre-amp anymore.

« on: February 21, 2024, 12:46:11 PM »What does a 50 acre parcel with a suitable building site go for these days?
Depends on where you are at. Anywhere from $1500 to $7000+ per acre. The good news is I don't necessarily need the property to have a suitable building site on it. I have the technology to fix that once I buy the property.

If you are into hot sauces, I bought some of this and it is the tits....

« on: February 21, 2024, 10:35:41 AM »that sounds like a safe haven for disease ridden ticksAs a soon to be empty nester, seriously considering selling our soon to be too big house and building a barndo on 40-50 acres.Fantastic plan. I've been doing the RV life as an empty nester but grabbing an apartment to help my 19 y.o. kiddo get on her feet.
Building a 1200-1400 square foot ranch on ten acres in the next year or so.
I've been looking at larger land but I really don't want to take care of it. I'd rather travel and flip someone a $100 to mow while I'm gone.
Plan is to find a piece of ground that has good hunting and enough drainage that I can build a watershed. Will only mow the area immediately around the structure....probably a couple acres.
Those SOBs are everywhere as it is. May as well get bitten by ticks from my property and not someone else's when hunting.

« on: February 02, 2024, 09:10:01 AM »Yes, SLC brewery scene is surprisingly good.
There are no breweries in Provo. I believe there is only one (with two locations) in that entire county. I think most fans would want to stay in SLC (or Park City) and drive or train down to the game.
Would highly recommend the Waldorf in Park City.

Not sure about Provo, but they don't sell booze at the college stade in SLC. Can't imagine it will be any different in Provo.

They won't pour you a double unless the second shot of booze is flavored.

I haven't been on a cruise in a long time. However, the last time I was on one we rolled about 40 deep in family and friends. One night, we were sitting in a corridor area between two bars drinking our ass off and bullshitting. Somehow the evening devolved into strangers joining us and eventually an impromptu talent show with stupid human tricks broke out. It was great entertainment for us. Toward the end of the night some of the staff brought us a couple platters of crown and cokes and asked that we take the party up to the top deck. We were just finishing our drinks when we pulled into port in the morning and it was time to start the shitty process of getting off of the boat.
The End.
The End.
