🧹🚨 BREAKING: Heroic cleaner embarks on epic quest to save Britain from its own junk, because apparently the real problem isn't the housing crisis or climate change, but rather your Aunt Edna's porcelain cat collection. Spoiler alert: is now officially a national security threat. 😅🇬🇧

@F3715H @JuxGD I second this one.

1. Obviously #Monero peaked recently because everyone who can is dropping #USD for #XMR and is #GTFO'ing the #USA due to #Trump...

2.I've seen "#ProofOfStake" #Shitcoins like #Ethereum and #Solana with setups that are way more wasteful, expensive and #hoarding of hardware like #RAM and #SSDs [the latter one being basically destroyed due to extreme #IOPS].

3.If you have no problem with #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard š (and espechally #PayPal!)² ³, then you shouldn't have a problem with Monero either!

  • Yes it is a #cryptocurrency, but it's the "least worst" when it comes to #privacy, #centralization and some study seem to hint that Monero and the DNMs that use it actually reduce #StreetCrime and #Violence as they allow #NonviolentDrugOffenders [aka. #VictimlessCrimes] to be facilitated safer and in a trustless envoirment.

  • The Problems associated with #Monero are not due to the fault of Monero. It's what people do towards other people. Whether they do it for XMR, #Dollar, #Euro, or whatever doesn't make it better or worse than whether someone threatens a person with a knife or a rifle: Both are equally bad in the eyes of the law and society for all the righr reasons!

Also Monero per it's very design CANNOT be abused for "#SmartContracts", #NFTs and associated #malware - in fact the #developers of Monero removed any such ability by deprecating and disabling the tx_extra feature.

Zurich airport, on the flight path to Davos conference.

#Davos #billionaires #hoarding #tax #taxtherich

Banner, white background, black letters, with faces of (left to right) smiling Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg with text (all in uppercase) Hey Davos Billionaires: Shut Up And Pay Your Tax. The banner is right next to a road. About six people, who probably just put it there, can be seen around and very close to the banner. On the read one car drives along.

📚🔍 A riveting tale from on why there's no magical, one-size-fits-all solution, because who needs simplicity when you can have chaos? 🌀 Turns out, shoving random bits into corners like a hoarder is a totally viable strategy—just ask the experts! 🤔✨

@forty2 I declare that definition only applies ironically to recent-generation smartphones, of which I own zero. :-)

I define hoarding as "not being able to walk between the piles without risking trips, falls or collapses."

I'm definitely .

It's a matter of perspective.

I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...

#Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange

Posted on February 22, 2019 by Richard Fahey

Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.

"My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."

"Tech Billionaires Are Now Hoarding Your Computer Parts"

Dec 28, 2025
RAM prices are up 171%, outpacing gold. Sam Altman locked up 40% of global memory supply for AI. Micron just exited the consumer market. Now we get to pay more for electronics with less storage and memory.

THEY ALL LAUGHED! As I was #hoarding old sticks of #RAM and buying an old PS3.

WELL WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!? Not me obviously, because there's so much dust in these old machines that I'd start coughing if I did.

Good afternoon. 🌴🌴🌴

9 December 2025

If I toss my old Visual C++ book, I could free up space for two or three more novels in the bookcase. After all, it’s not like I plan to do any more programming. That chapter has closed. It’s time to let those things go—completely.

I know the impulse to hang on “just in case.” But when we don’t release the unused, it accumulates. Slowly, quietly, until we’re buried in stuff. And then we become… hoarders.

That’s where I am now—or at least, that’s how it feels. We have a lot of things. Over the years, I built storage into our life to bring order to the chaos. But storage is a trickster: if you build it, you fill it. I told my wife I wanted to rent a dumpster and just start tossing things in. I didn’t get a concurrence.

There are boxes we never unpacked after moving here—over twenty years ago. They sit like sealed time capsules in the back of my little work garage. Once, I resolved to do something about it. I grabbed a box, determined to haul it off to Goodwill. But when I opened it, I found my Calvin and Hobbes collection—and just like that, the wind left my sails.

Tossing technical manuals is one thing. But Calvin and Hobbes? That’s sacred. Honestly, those books should be classified as academic texts—philosophy in comic form.

And even now, as I type this meditation on letting go, I glance toward Ben’s bed, still sitting where it has for over sixteen years. Those who follow my blog know what that means.

Palm at the Edge

"A lone palm tree rises boldly into a surreal sky, its spiky fronds splayed like a crown of green and gray daggers. The trunk is thick and textured, etched with the scars and ridges of time, standing like a sentinel between worlds. Each frond catches the light differently—some gleaming with silvery edges, others shadowed in deep green—creating a layered halo of motion and stillness.

Behind the tree, the sky burns with an intense orange glow, as if sunset has been dialed to its most dramatic setting. The color is not soft or fading—it’s fierce, saturated, almost molten. Against this fiery backdrop, dark silhouettes of distant buildings or structures loom like quiet witnesses, their forms abstract and brooding.

The image feels digitally altered or artistically enhanced, heightening the contrast and drama. The palm tree, though familiar, becomes mythic—an emblem of resilience, isolation, and strange beauty. It stands alone, yet not lonely, rooted in a dreamscape where nature and urban shadow meet under a sky that refuses to whisper." - Microsoft Copilot

It's not simply a #NIMBY driven supply problem. The supply problem & broader economic issues make a feedback loop. Profit margins on building large expensive homes are higher than small affordable homes. There are "investors" driving prices up in bidding wars, too. #inequality #hoarding

Plastic injection replaced sustaonable means and is grown unaffordable.

The experts and tools have been decimated by neglect.

My grandparents sold the business and it's manufacturing tools.
My uncles sold the union.

Of course I have nothing left but memes.
