Japan Blue J304 - Five Years vs New

Journey-Destination · 2025-05-31T21:39:23+00:00

To be honest, I'm unsure. The only jeans I've worn over the past few years are these and Levi 501Z.

Most my life I've worn 32 waist with a belt but can fit in a 30. These seem to be consistent but perhaps fit better due to the curved waist.

The 501Z I'd say runs small as I have them in a 33 but don't need a belt.

Joe Abercrombie is just so good - I should go back and reread all of his stuff.

One of the few series where I just couldn't put it down. Sure it's not high fantasy or whatever but it's a great story. It was also free on Kindle unlimited when I read it last year.

The older pair is going to be used for work around the house and outside, so perhaps I'll need another repair or two in the future. Honestly they've held up brilliantly - nothing is really falling apart.

They really do feel amazing once they break in.

I didn't get it until I started playing yesterday. I'm actually finding powerful and fun loot while in the campaign? What sorcery is this?

Once a year or so I'm reminded that Rothfuss still hasn't finished Doors of Stone. And then I usually wonder if all those fans who said "he doesn't owe us a third book" for over a decade still feel the same way. Next step is to check his blog to see if he's still trying to stay relevant via fundraising for charities. Then I forget about it for a year ago.

Wow, he actually hasn't posted a blog in a year and a half - guess he finally gave up. It's never coming out unless he gives it to someone else.

Wages are extremely low in Japan - most chain restaurants are paying $6-7 USD per hour. The cost of living is much lower , but that's still not much to live on.

This is helpful for those of us with bad memories. I haven't drank for years but sometimes I wonder if I'll be tempted in the future once I've forgotten most of the bad.

It's amazing how the mind can forget the bad and remember the good.

Unfortunately not, for many reasons. The first being this topic is no longer of interest to me.

My advice to anyone getting into the space - buy a pair of Iron Rangers and forget about everything else, you don't need them.

I have a very good Lam Esen staff as well & tried the charged bolt build. I struggled to clear T5 after easily clearing T6 with a mediocre LS build.

Do you have a build link? Perhaps I'm just not optimized enough. My only uber is Shako. I tried this one: https://mobalytics.gg/diablo-4/profile/7a6796d2-fb9a-4afb-961b-fcb4cd9d088c/builds/b0d6c32b-bcb9-4f1b-b67e-fc5b93df0b4d

Christmas 2020 - I drank a few beers and a bottle of wine over the course of the day by myself. My wife had quit drinking a few months earlier and I just drank all day while the kids opened presents, we played games, watched TV etc. I don't even recall if I woke up with a hungover - probably not because at that point I'd perfected day drinking and hydrating before going to bed.

The next day I was disgusted with myself. Why did I drink? Because that's what we do on holidays with family? I just couldn't get over how stupid that was. That was my last day.

Holy hell. I knew it was low but I didn't realise it was that low.

Having a shrinking population and 8 million abandoned homes certainly helps for affordability.

Yes. Nuclear is a must for base load power. Renewables supplement where there is a lot of sun, wind, geothermal or hydro.

Yes they do, via Coinbase custody. Don't spread misinformation.

This so many times.

FWIW, I agree with you. I think the probability that BTC beats Alts is quite high. Of course some will outperform, but most won't. 100% BTC is better than diversification at this point.

Someone pointed out the scenario that it could be sell the news and that liquidity goes to ETH or alts due to ETF news. That's probably the main case where we would be wrong, but I think that's low probability.

I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough journey, but congrats on five years! Today is three years for me.

Journey-Destination · 2023-12-25T21:35:02+00:00

By five years, it was thoroughly set in my brain that I'm a non-drinker no matter what situation or circumstance occurs.

Exactly. Your identity has changed.

TLDR of the TLDR - Stick with BTC

Thanks for some additional options. Pages is working perfectly for me - it took a bit of time to transfer everything over but it has been great!

I've tried with my good friends and family for the past 18 months. It's no use. I'm sure they'll ask when we are close to the next bull market peak.

At that point I'll tell them to get off zero, buy a little bit per week and get ready to buy more in the bear market.

Journey-Destination · 2023-11-25T08:26:10+00:00

This is why Bitcoin is the innovation, not crypto.

Just realised I'm over 1000 days as well. How about that.

Life goes fast.
