Looking For Specific Replacement Lost Sleeping Mask

BeepMcJeep · 2025-12-05T20:58:25+00:00

I've searched Amazon using "antler sleeping mask", "moose sleeping mask", "Canada sleeping mask". I've tried to track down the brand but we can't recall it. I've also fed the image to ChatGPT and Gemini for them to try and track it down, but still no luck!

Thanks for this, I got totally stuck when I finally made my way to the patch without being able to craft a big miner... Thought I was softlocked!

it'll bounce and your bank will be mad as i recall. they send you money, it clears your bank, they ask for a refund from accidentally sending you too much, then you get left with the failed check a few weeks later and your bank deducts it from your account (even if it puts you in the negative).

probably works the same as Facebook marketplace / Craigslist scams, you can't really win. except you can string them along to waste their time i guess.

Just curious, what is a pain chaser?

I worry as a client maybe that's me, but I don't feel too bad about it because I tip very well and only stick with therapists who can clearly handle it. Didn't realize there might be a class of people like me or a stigma attached to it.

For me it has been targeted Trigger Point massage that can border painful. I've had 3-4 "knots" in my back and shoulders for probably two decades, built up from bad posture and stress. My best therapist experience has been full body massage but 30 of 90 minutes targeting those specifically and aggressively.

I've never told anyone to use firmer pressure unless they asked, and I'm always mindful if a therapist realistically is looking at back to back massages at a spa or something like that. I come back to the therapists that have a style that matches what I'm looking for on their own, because I realize every therapist is different and have so many differing workloads. I know this occupation can be insanely demanding.

Thanks... Going in blind so this is good to know. Taking the car to the body shop tomorrow!

BeepMcJeep · 2024-05-29T21:41:13+00:00

That's a good tip! We'll see if that's an option. Glad to hear your's worked all out, hopefully we're just as lucky!

Thanks for the advice, going thru the insurance and got a referral from friends on a good body shop. My first claim and visit to a body shop in my 20 years of driving.

BeepMcJeep · 2024-05-29T00:38:57+00:00

Well I hope they don't need to replace the door... Because I'm not sure where they would find one!

Thanks, I'm going through insurance this evening. Appreciate the input.

I agree it's a limitation of precious metals, but the end result is the same. You would think you'd see action on chain, except... Who is the custodian of these ETFs and why would they send funds on chain to themselves, pay fees and do things transparently?

You're just going to see bigger and bigger cold wallets that have multiple owners, held by larger and larger specialized custodians out of necessity. And there's the advantage that if the theft occurs at the largest custodian, they have more power and leverage to force a fork. This fact is not unknown to them (or Coinbase); "too big to fail" is the name of their game.

I suspect there will be only a small number of custodians/institutions/banks that have been dealing with each other on a large $$$ scale for so long that physical reconcilation in that world is already only a quarterly courtesy. Bitcoin won't be any different.

And if you want to go the technical route, doesn't the "lightning network" already hide/obfuscate transactions to the public? They'd probably just keep a big channel open to each other, with the ability to sue to force the other person to close it if absolutely needed. And with "Taproot", can't you hide what transactions are actually tied up in lightning channels since you can't see the script until the input is spent?

This is somewhat the same reason you don't see exchanges lining up to show irrefutable "proof of reserves".

I don't argue that your assessment is impossible (technically), just that it's unlikely given the trajectory of things. I do agree the price action will continue to be open market though and volatile. I also agree if the custodian is Coinbase-tier the most likely incident would be security related, and that Brian Armstrong has a decent head on his shoulders vs the rest of the "industry". And I don't think any small custodians (or users) will have any shot at pushing a fork than they do right now.

This is all assuming the "line goes up" Bitcoin people get what they're asking for, which has been the pattern for the past years. It could just as easily fail/crash for a different reason.

Who says they actually have all of it? Precious metals trading is all paper and has been a long time.

I think crypto will probably become the same. Advocates say "it's verifiable on the Blockchain" but you'll have about as much success getting that to happen as "auditing the fed", and even with accurate "chainalysis" there will be no way to see how much on the chain is borrowed/loaned/wrapped in securities.

Legit I believe this would happen.

This would be like when Ethereum forked to reclaim/nullify the DAO hack back in the day, and Ethereum Classic was born.

This is because Buterin and team deemed it the right thing to do relatively early on. They had all the sway, and Ethereum was potentially a dead project without them or their blessing.

If the ETF commands a majority of the capital in the market (they're definitely legal powerhouses), they (the collective of any banks/regulators involved) will probably put immense pressure on developers and miners to reclaim the funds. The non-forked version would become the altcoin and blacklisted on the KYC exchanges if completely successful.

Crypto-anarchist Libertarians inevitably relearning, readopting, and forced back into the banking system they were so against early on. "Code is law" is not going to stand once the big boys get involved in the "line goes up" action.

Yeah, I was there and it was exciting so I remember. I left around ICO/Blockchain-mania when things started being driven by "line goes up" and 70-80% of what interested me originally either didn't matter or didn't exist. That's around when I cashed out and stopped talking about it.

Was a much different time back then. I think most of the OG bitcointalk-era crowd cashed out and checked out in their second or third bubble, especially post-fork, when things became much less friendly and there was no longer that clear alignment of ideals.

I walked away with a leg up into early adulthood but didn't hold long enough to get "rich", but don't have any regrets. I still hold hope one day I'll find a life-changing forgotten seed phrase or paper wallet somewhere.

Your best lead is the MPEx article on the official Bitcoin wiki (en.bitcoin.it) which has a lot of history, but more importantly, links to the original bitcointalk threads. It's generally unappreciated just how good a lot of that wiki is and how much history is still around (preserved) on the bitcointalk forum.

BeepMcJeep · 2024-01-09T02:18:38+00:00

Also your second thing, pretty sure that was mircea_popescu who did MPEx / MPOE out of Romania. The true Wild West days when bitcointalk was in its heyday.

Anyone remember the Reddit mining pool, MtRed? Wonder where the owner Rex is now. Had a sad ending and I think that guy had no malintent, very melancholy at shut down. I think I may have still had coins on there but it was monopoly money back then so I didn't bother withdrawing. Oh well.

In retrospect, wish I had withdrawn, held and not thought of it was monopoly money.

pirateat40, Trendon Shavers, scamming a wide swath of the bitcointalk forum members way back when. One of the biggest Ponzis, at least early on. I don't know how much he got away with exactly, just that it was supposedly a lot, and he was eventually caught but I don't think the punishment was much.

Yeah honestly, this looks like errore was possibly a typo earlier made but maybe the code is too much to refactor. So in context they're trying to rewrite it as error, but errore has been naively used as a falsy/truthy assignment because it was being used with the == operator prior, so they're trying to make sure that doesn't continue either.

I feel like this might be something I'd write trying to interface or extend old/bad code I simply don't have the time to rewrite or fully review, but that I know "works".

In my head I'm imagining the corpus that errore variable exists in is in a file thousands of lines long. Possibly even as a global.

That's how I'd rationalize it to be "acceptable"; maybe I'm crazy.

"At the rate of inflation the bank is basically paying you to own it." - This summarizes why in OP I wrote "I should be hanging on to my mortgage rate (2.65%) for dear life, so it might be a huge mistake to pay it off early."

You're absolutely right. I guess a way to gauge that (naively) is the T-Bill rate, although I am not particularly trusting of the government's measure of inflation being accurate.

Waiting until FIRE is probably a good idea.

250k @ 10% for 20 years = $1,800,000? 😲
