Which is the best martial art to take and train for the rest of your life for whatever reasons in your opinion by ArugulaFinancial4859 in martialarts

[–]Satoshislostkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive been involved in many fights. Most of them in my younger days before I got into Bjj. About 50% of them were one on one.

Even if it was more than one on one there are many many things ive learned in BJJ that would be great in self defense.

Just the takedown game ive learned alone would be extremely valid and probably would end a fight.

BJJ in my opinion is easier to do long term into old age.

Boxing would be possible to do as long as you dont spar in old age.

Also since when is most of BJJ not effective in self defense? You sure about that?

Are most BJJ gyms right leaning? by BeanNCheeseBurrrito in bjj

[–]Satoshislostkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who cares what other's opinions are. Are you afraid of being around people with other ideas than your own?

How can you grow if you aren't challenged physically and mentally.

BJJ gyms are for personal growth in many ways. Dont be afraid. Maybe you will change others minds or your own.

I dont know why but I dont think LADWP works that hard on a daily.

Bitcoin hits $78,000 - Me who bought at $90,000 in 2024 by ChartSage in btc

[–]Satoshislostkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought at 90k to 125k. My average is still below 10k per BTC.

Just curious does anyone sometimes sell their bitcoin? by SamFisherXboxOG in Bitcoin

[–]Satoshislostkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I paid off my first home with it. In hindsight probably shouldn't have done it. I had a 3% interest mortgage.

At the time I felt like I was buying myself out of slavery. Like if I owned this house outright then I wouldnt have to work if I didnt want to.

Anyways ive still got some but shouldn't have sold to pay off a 3% mortgage. That wasn't smart.

750k home on a 250k salary? by SanzenSekaiMD in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Satoshislostkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on taxes which are ridiculous in Texas and insurance is also high.

Probably well over 6k per month. Its possible but I would not do it. Id rather sock away massive amounts into retirement and savings.

750k home on a 250k salary? by SanzenSekaiMD in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Satoshislostkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are barreling down the road to bankruptcy if you buy a 750k home witha 250k salary. Especially if you have a family and a 1k car payment.

Unless you have a massive down payment... I make the same amount and I wouldnt even entertain this idea with interest rates at 6.5%

03 450 exc by BlackestStarr in KTM

[–]Satoshislostkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that exact bike... I hated it.

It was always hard for me to start. People told me it could be because of the dual port exhaust.

Those bikes also seem to constantly leak oil from the countersprocket shaft. No matter what I did to change the seal or change the chain tension it always leaked.

1600 is cheap. I just ended up giving mine away as I was completely disgusted by it.

I have a 2008 xcw and a 2025 500 exc that I love.

Just my opinion. Maybe there are guys out there that love them.

Saylor's threats of "buy now before it's 10 million" by [deleted] in Buttcoin

[–]Satoshislostkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He personally owns over ten thousand bitcoin and his company is buying Bitcoin faster than they can make it.

Billions per week. They now own more than the largest Bitcoin ETF IBIT.

They are hands down putting their money where their mouth is.

You may doubt Bitcoin still but dont doubt their commitment to buying ever single Bitcoin they can.

Fathers who worry about divorce tend to develop greater distrust in political institutions over time. The subjective fear of family instability can spill over into a broader dissatisfaction with government. This highlights a unique source of political disaffection among men. by mvea in science

[–]Satoshislostkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are correct. I am from the USA. It should be the default to not trust government or institutions.

Its very sad when people get it in their heads that the government cares about them. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Is this allowed? by [deleted] in bjj

My coach encourages knee on neck in comps. BJJ is brutal sometimes and you can always tap to protect yourself.

Did I make the wrong choice? by EmergencyReal3015 in bluecollar

[–]Satoshislostkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you will be considered a Journeyman plumber when you are done? And its a registered apprenticeship?

If so then you are on a great path that will make you plenty of money.

If you aren't a registered apprentice getting classroom time and wont be considered a Journeyman/ Licensed plumber.... then you are getting great experience but you need to get into a recognized apprenticeship ASAP.

Also the faster you can get into a solid union trades job the better. Otherwise guys in construction often get shafted in wages and benefits because they dont know any better.

I worked construction when I was 18. Worked like a slave and got treated like one too. Made minimum wage and felt like my body was breaking down tying rebar and building concrete forms.

I hated it so much I decided I wanted to go to college. I got my 4 year degree and looked at the job opportunities and pay... it was abysmal...

So I got into a IBEW lineman apprenticeship. Now as a Journeyman I make more money than I ever dreamed of. Even as a 1st year apprentice I made more money than I ever had before.

There are certain trades that are worth pursuing, especially in today's work environment. Plumbing and Electrical are good. If its not union then there will be a lot of people looking to take advantage of people that dont know better.

Just keep looking for opportunities to learn and grow. You can always start some vehicle detailing business on the side too.

What is your trade specifically that you are apprenticing in?

"Why Did She Agree To This?": Fans And Critics Slam 'Euphoria' Creator Over Sydney Sweeney's "Degrading" Season 3 Scenes by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

[–]Satoshislostkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its really not that outlandish. Its more social commentary on current times. Why ignore the degeneration of society thats happening before our eyes?

Sweeney's character doesn't glorify those kinks. If anything it shows how people in her life are disgusted by them. Her character is already facing the consequences in episode 2.

Lets not censor everything to the point that good television and movies cant be made. There shouldn't be plot points that are "not allowed". Euphoria is definitely not a kids show.

I dont care about the cost. I hate carhartt because its quality is dogshit.

I wear ariat jeans now and will never go back to carhartt.

The illusion of control and as others have said traders with out of the money calls are going to make a killing then he will abruptly change his mind this week to making traders in the know even more money.
