When I was vegetarian I went to a fancy Italian restaurant and figured maybe 'high end authentic' eggplant parm would change my mind, but nope, it still tasted like slimy booty.

I love slimy booty

I love slimy booty

I love booty. I'm not prepared to commit to the slime without knowing the substance that's making it slimy. Diarrhea booty slime? Sweat slime? Post weekend camping ass slime? Diddy baby oil slime?

Why eat eggplant parm when you can eat chicken or veal parm? (I don't mind eggplant parm)

The people talking about bitcoin who don't understand it, you guys should Google the original bitcoin white paper and get an understanding of what bitcoin is. Once you understand bitcoin you won't have a hard believing it is actually a very safe investment.

I understand the blockchain tech to some extent, but don't see the connection to how it makes bitcoin a good investment necessarily. I'm not saying you're wrong, I genuinely would like to know.

if you are a male above 40, see your Doctor for a PSA test. It costs a few bucks, but a wise expenditure. Early detection is key

Ditto for the other side. A colon test is a life savour. Yea, it is primitive. You have to collect a stool sample and dab it on a holder and send it in. But again a life savour.

Trust me, the second floor of the General hospital Oncology department is not where you want to be. Not even for a visit.

the first 3.

"Boy in the Bubble", "Graceland" and "I know what I know"

Hey Mac.. when I read the Graceland lyrics, I get chills... I see a song about suicide and heaven.. weird!

I know Simon said it was a combo about his divorce and a real trip he took with his so. As well as issues in South Africa.. But man:

And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland

When I hear it, I have to stop moving. Weird

These are the days of miracle and wonder. I used to have Boy in the Bubble as my ring tone. The only problem was I didn't want to pick up. I was like, lemme just wait till the bass comes in... Then the vocals too...

His follow-up Rhythm of the Saints didn't hit as hard, but the track Obvious Child, that one gives me chills too, real lyrical and musical masterpiece.

Guys, gmail now has likes/emoji reactions. It's weird the little things that make you feel like the future is moving too fast

You never make these type of posts, that's why.

Yeah, I've never read the original bitcoin whitepaper that @2CHAINZ referenced, but I have read online tutorials on blockchain. I have a degree in Comp Eng, so I understand it pretty well.

But I will admit that I "don't understand bitcoin". In the sense that I don't understand why it has value, and in particular why it would go up (or down) in value at any time. If I buy stock in a company, purchase a bond, or even exchange money from one currency to another (say Cdn$ to US$) I understand what each of those things represents and why they have value and (mostly) why that value might change over time. IE, when that stuff might go down, I can understand why and therefore can decide on my own whether I think that will happen. With Bitcoin, I have no clue so can't possibly predict.

But... when I state that Bitcoin is higher risk than a broad based stock ETF, that is based purely on actual historical financial data. When professional investors consider any investment, be it an individual stock or ETF or managed fund, there are a handful of metrics that define it's "risk". One of them is its "drawdown" -- basically the amount it goes down from it's peak price to lowest price in a given timeframe.

In the last 40 years the S&P 500 has had 4 major drawdown events: the 1987 Black Monday crash (-30%), the 2001 dot com bubble burst (-45%), the 2008 financial crisis (-48%) and the 2020 Covid crash (-20%).

Just eyeballing the returns for Bitcoin, it has had 4 drawdowns of similar or larger magnitude in the last 7 years.

That is, major drawdowns happen in Bitcoin almost 6 times more often than the S&P 500.

Joe Cocker, British Blues star.

If you get a chance, watch the Documentary Mad Dogs and Englishmen. The Mad Dogs are his primarily American bandmates. The band leader was Leon Russel. Known for wearing top hats.

The band popularized multi instrument use in live performances. On a quality sound system, their live stuff is great. Although Crocker's voice rarely held up. As the session extended, he would become inaudible.
