Should have named the last episode “Cash for Clankers” - I honestly thought the title was “Clunkers” until y’all switched to robotism... Anyway, man, I have so many stories about buying or selling cars! Dealerships are the worst! We just dealt with one and it was quite a situation! This poor kid sold his first car to me and I took him on a rollercoaster of emotions!

I'm not sure how to ask this question but you two Brits are the closest I am to anyone in the UK... Can you tell where Danny Knowles is from just from his accent? I haven't heard Peter's "ok, that's fine" on this show in a while but the new WBD has Danny saying "um" a lot but it sounds more like "eerrrrrm" when he says it. Anyway, just curious. Please continue with actually important things after my bullshit question.

Mother fuckers who mutilate themselves are weird as fuck and obviously have mental health problems! I mean I’ve had anxiety and depression before, but I would rather get fucked up or knock somebody out who’s a wise ass than mutilate my own body lmao!🤣I mean now I would just use plant medicine and meditate, but either way they are definitely mentally unhealthy.

It was so great to meet all of y’all and to see Fundamentals again! Thanks for the books! Otis - Thanks for the coffee! BitcoinAcct - Thanks for tossing a bag of freeze dried skittles to me on the last day too! I had a few on the plane ride home and they are delicious! My kids finished all the rest of them! Really enjoyed meeting all y’all and enjoyed the discussions throughout the day and late into the night with Karl too! See y’all next year! Somehow I forgot to grab a bag of beans from Otis... I appreciated the cups for me and for my wife, the coffee was delicious and I appreciated the V4V - I hope y’all earned enough!

Great Star Wars discussion! I never read the books (surprisingly) but collected the cards, played the games, and fairly recently caught up on all the old shows like Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance and Bad Batch. Generally enjoy them all but Clone Wars likely the most. I'm a huge fan of Andor and Rogue One. I'll have to check out Picard Season 3 because I tried season 1 and can't remember if I even finished it. Never ever considered watching season 2...

Max’s American voice is hilarious. I guess we’re all gay over here... 🤣 Nice articles and readings by SoulEx, Charles, (and Jon) - I need to read Charles' article and send it to my wife. She's a social worker at the local government school but about to go into private practice. Before that she worked for the state and has placed many kids in foster care. So many times her opinion is ignored and the state gets what they want. The foster parents are pretty good in our area though. But there are MANY who sign up across the county only with the goal to abuse kids. It's incredibly hard to figure out which ones are the bad ones unless the kids come forward to a therapist or social worker. But my wife's time is spent dealing with bureaucratic BS rather than being able to actually help the kids.

Maybe I’ll make it out to pubkey someday. Most of my free time is spent smoking blunts and working out. Last time I was in Brooklyn I was chasing a mother fucker around a Construction site with a shovel trying to kill him. That’s when I decided fuck NYC it was right before Covid which the communist like rules just sealed the deal for me to never cross the GW bridge ever again. I said I would never go to NYC ever again, not even for a wedding or a funeral and so far I’ve held to my word.

I certainly feel like a LARP most of the time. But generally speaking aren’t we all LARPing as a living creature in preparation for eternity? Either spend your time here trying to be a “good” person or maybe one day you answer for your sins before the Lord himself. I do really appreciate the comment about raising girls who won't need me one day. It's my biggest goal but my greatest fear. The thought of failure or success are both terrifying. Trying to enjoy time with my children while they are kids while also ALWAYS considering their future as an adult is a juxtaposition that I don’t think most humans fully understand. Cultivate that passion within them, protect that innocence, but also ensure they fully understand the world is ready to terminate all their hopes and dreams at any moment...

Max I feel you on the whole podcast burn out thing. I’ve felt the same way. I used to consistently week after week listen to 40-80 hours a week of mostly Bitcoin or Libertarian podcasts! I’ve tremendously reduced that amount. And now I’ve gone back to listening to what I still can at 1.75-2.0 speed.

If I have to buy you a plane ticket then so be it. How much are flights from Antarctica anyway? Thank you to everyone at Lake Satoshi - thank you especially to Mike and PF for all their efforts, I hope to actually meet them next year. One of my favorite conversations was with a lady who has known Mike for 20 something years and talks about how this type of event is just a normal Saturday for their friends and family. Not only is the PMM and Meshtadel my type of people but these Michiganders are my type of people too! - my kids will be talking about this their entire lives and are already so excited to go next year!

How can we film an MTV Cribs type show with Bitcoiner houses without doxxing locations or faces?!?! Can Home Assistant help with that?! I also used to have all these automated lights and quickly realized I didn’t want to deal with it or have it phoning home. For lights automation I’d much easier to install an analog option (motion sensor switch) on the wall to replace the manual switch. Like a bathroom occupancy switch which will turn on the lights for 30 minutes when you walk in... So unless you take a really long shit then the light and fan will turn off after you finish your business and leave. If you get stuck watching videos or doomscrolling then just a simple wave of the hand will turn it back on! I had this happen to me once in college where I was in a stall and the light turned off in the bathroom while I was in there and the sensor couldn’t see me... didn’t turn back on until the next person walked in and was surprised I was shitting in the dark. Or in my shed when I can’t get my fucking miners to work and I’m staring at the computer then the lights turn off so I typically use that as an indicator that I need another beer and walk over to trigger the lights again. (Sorry for the long boost on your hour-long show... I sent extra sats...)
