The first image in this post is ROUGHLY (give or take a dollar) what my monthly dedicated server bill invoice runs me which my HIVE witness node runs on.. Currently at rank #86 globally on the HIVE witness list yielding an average of 222.97 Hive Power (~$56.25 at time of post) and my server bill is roughly $39.50 and while I have to basically ALWAYS be on power down to afford it.. It is paying for itself with a ~$15 profit.. While not even enough for a pack of cigarettes or an hour minimum wage up here in the frozen north... it's better than a kick in the nuts with a frozen mukluk as they say!

Welp, last while in my life has been a SHITSHOW to say the least.. Finally got back into a space where I could set up my workstation and get going again.. Had started to get some good momentum going there then life got in the way, as they say.. After moving +750KM from where I was and spending a few weeks cleaning up I am ready to get back into gear again.

If you'd told me a decade ago that being murdered by a pack of autonomous robot dogs was a possible reality, I'd ask you who your dealer is because whatever drugs you've smoked causing your schizophrenia must be potent... But now adays I'm looking at that absolutely insane "hypothetical" with a far more serious lens, because as it sits, we're at the start of that type of shit being feasible.

I generally don't enjoy watching videos of people burning, seen WAY too many videos of ISIS and it's shithead offshoots lighting POWs on fire... But this shit made me laugh out loud. I'm glad the bomb only hurt him. Normalize lighting jihad terrorist on fire. Fuck people who think killing innocent civilians is justified by their religious beliefs, absolute cancer to this planet. Fuck you and your jihad.

Palmer Lucky is the guy that started the Oculus Virtual Reality craze years ago.. After Mark Zuckerberg bought out his company for a bonkers amount of money, ultimately ending up in Palmer getting shitcanned from the company he founded, he moved on to create Anduril... A HIGHLY advanced defense contractor. This guy is 100% what I want to be when I grow up. Holy Shit.

Saw a post yesterday on twitter (fuck you elon musk, I'm not calling it x you fuckin' retard) from the lead dev of the Bitshares, STEEM/HIVE, EOS blockchain showing off a new Database Library he's working on... Assuming it's not an Aprils Fool Joke (which I don't think is the case) might be something to keep an eye on.. A lot of what Dan has built is what we still run on here on HIVE...
