by Paul Craig Roberts Over the course of my lifetime, I have watched the role of men taken away. The role of the male as provider, defender, and disciplinarian is no more. It was destroyed by feminists. To clarify “feminist”: In the past, when I have criticized feminists, older women who had careers asked why […]
Because some people IRL know me as the dude who always talks about BTC and educating them - some clowns think they can make a quick buck off BTC..
I get calls daily about them having someone with 10 000BTC who wants to sell it for 7% discount - I’m here like.. Send me 10 dollars from the address and then we chat.. then I’m like anyone who has that amount of BTC that is genuine would never give a 7% discount..
Any ideas of how much illicit BTC is floating around and how to catch them out?
It would be wrong to tie Norway to the ‘dysfunctional’ EU electricity market, the leader of one of the nation’s ruling parties has said Norway’s coalition government collapsed on Thursday after the Euroskeptic Center Party rejected EU energy policy regulations advocated by Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store. The move would subject people to an electricity […]

Senate Democrats Slow Walk Kash Patel’s Confirmation Process
From Laura Loomer
Senate Democrats are slow-walking Kash Patel’s confirmation process. The Senate Democrats’ obstruction began when Pete Hegseth’s confirmation vote was slow-walked, thus causing a chain reaction. The Senate GOP is powerless to stop the Senate Democrats from slow-walking President Trump’s nominee’s floor votes, as 60 votes are needed to break the 30 hours of debate. It’s […]
What many plebs don't seem to see is, Bukele pulled a pretty sick stunt on the IMF with very little compromise. It doesn't matter if Bitcoin goes from legal tender (must accept) to voluntary acceptance. EVERY business is already accepting Bitcoin. They aren't going to delete it from their PoS system or their phone because it's not mandatory.
Especially if someone has received Bitcoin since the 20k low. You'd be an idiot to not accept it after you gained 5x purchase power on your BTC.
The ECB also reckons that they're "about to return to the 2% inflation target". Though the ECB never operated within "just" 2% for the entire 26 years of the EUR's existence.
By Maartje Wijffelaars, Senior Eurozone Economist at Rabobank As was widely expected, the ECB cut its policy rate yesterday by 25 basis points, bringing the deposit rate to 2.75%. The rate action followed an equal cut by the Bank of Canada earlier in the week, a 100bp hike by the Central […]
Tomatoes Hate Cucumbers: Secrets Of Companion Planting and Popular Planting Combinations 🍅🥒👇
1. Differing Water Needs: Cucumbers need consistent moisture to remain juicy and sweet, while tomatoes thrive in drier soil conditions once they’re established. Overwatering tomatoes to meet cucumber needs can cause root diseases due to waterlogged soil.
2. Space and Light Competition: Cucumbers are vigorous climbers or sprawlers that can overshadow tomatoes, limiting their essential sunlight exposure vital for healthy fruit development.
3. Risk of Disease Transmission: Both tomatoes and cucumbers are vulnerable to diseases like powdery mildew and bacterial wilt. Growing them close can accelerate the spread of these diseases.
Ideal Companions for Tomatoes and Cucumbers
1. For Tomatoes:
Basil: Enhances tomato flavor while repelling flies and mosquitoes.
Marigolds: Keep away nematodes and other garden pests.
Carrots: Help loosen the soil, facilitating better air and water flow around the tomato roots.
2. For Cucumbers:
Radishes: Act as a deterrent against cucumber beetles.
Sunflowers: Provide a natural trellis for cucumber vines and attract pollinators.
Lettuce: Benefits from the shade provided by cucumber plants, which helps keep the root environment cool. (credit: homemade haven on Facebook) #gardening
