Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

This Administration Is Already a Failure
If youre a Democrat, you have to be thinking about a Harris/Cheney ticket in 2024 because the * administration is a complete disaster. And not just on policy. Obamas administration was a policy disaster, but it was at least a competently implemented disaster. The Zombie Administration is a...

youve got to separate out the mRNA platforms (Pfizer, Moderna) from the adenovirus vax (J&J).
For mRNA, it’s a risk/benefit game. If you are in the higher risk categories (60+, comorbidities) it is worth considering. Unfortunately the clinical trials barely studied anyone 60+ and it was all young healthy people. There wasn’t a single death from covid in the Pfizer/moderna trials in the placebo or vaccine arm. It does seem to protect from symptomatic disease but unclear how effective the vax is in older populations that need it. Neither vaccine is great from a safety perspective as there are a good number of grade 3 adverse events following the second shot. In very old and frail patients the vax seems pretty dangerous. Norway noted 33 deaths of frail patients following first vaccine dose. There are also some long term concerns about autoimmunity issues with mRNA platforms and these would not manifest immediately. The way the mRNA vax works supports this concern but there really isn’t much known about how these work long term in the real world in large populations . If you are younger And healthy I would stay away from these and if you have any family history or autoimmune disorders it’s worth considering going for the J&J vax if you want a vaccine.
J&J is interesting. I’ve seen a lot of people mention it’s a traditional vaccine — it’s not. It’s an adenovirus platform that delivers DNA for your cells to produce the spike proteins. The adenovirus has been manipulated so that it can’t replicate, but it still shuttles and delivers the DNA cargo to your cells nuclei. The 1-dose safety profile for this vaccine is super clean. Not sure how a 2-dose would look but that study is running right now. Not quite as efficacious as the mRNA vaccines but they studied a different patient population (young and old) and also ran their trials when the virus variants were more prominent. I’m 37 and healthy with no comorbidities. If I was forced to get a vaccine it would be this one but I’m leaning towards no vaccine at this time if I can get away with it. There are also some long term concerns with autoimmune issues with adenovirus platforms but the 1-dose makes me feel a little more comfortable.
My parents are in the high risk category (65+, overweight, etc) and I recommended that they get the mRNA vaccine .
Last thing I’ll say is there is a lot of misinformation out there on both sides of the issue. I’m always a little wary of public health pushes where it seems likely that the top officials would gladly sacrifice small numbers of people for what they perceive to be the greater good of society...
I do think it's more likely he endorses Desantis than Eric or Jr. in 2028.
Guess well just have to wait and see.

I'm way more bullish on other cryptos - if Bitcoin does a 5X this year it would be $200,000
I purchased HBAR at .03 it's at .12 since January as high as .15 to 10X my investment I just need it to get to .30
Same for ADA I purchased at .09 it was at $1.49 yesterday today it is at $1.27 likely to hit $2.00 in the next month that is a 20X gain
Hard to find these gains in the stock market.
I research the projects before I purchase - these two are game changers. They are Gen 3 of block-chain.
Here is HBAR compared to BTC & ETH
HBAR or Hedera is working with people like the State of Texas right now.
Here is their partners - these guys may know something...
ADA or Cardano using De-Fi will bring Africa into the 21st Century
DLT De-Fi Smart Contracts will forever change the world as we know it.
Getting in on these projects is like getting in on Microsoft or Apple at the early stages.
They will help destroy the things we all hate ITT central-banking, stock exchanges, regulation on and on...
Go on...
You got somebody better in mind? A younger person would be great. You just can’t have Desantis until he’s done being governor of Florida.
Thanks for the explanation. I'll add that my wife and I are 32, she's currently pregnant so no shot for her and I'm not considering it at this point being we're both young and healthy. In a few years if this is still an issue we'll reconsider after there's been time to review how it effects everyone.
Ooh now do fiat currency!
Honestly not what everyone wants it to be.. not a hydraulic mount 50cal.. actually first aid supplies, bomb proof gas tank mod, additional ammo,.. they are trained to get they heck out of dodge not stop and fight.
And the left will eat that up. MSM will promote it as " see, we're not so special "
Tariffs help. The Theft of intellectual property is what has to be punished. This is a major issue and our current crop of law makers and Swamp people allow it and encourage it.
If that was Biden’s motorcade you can bet your ass it’d be kilos and illegals.
If Trump leaves the Republican Party the cabal is back in charge of both major political parties.
Pretty sure that is @Jayhox 's point.

And Biden will agree with them and pledge $50 billion to a joint effort with China to help combat our country’s failures.
I completely agree. Maybe Trump could be the GOP version of the Obama "Shadow Government" in 2024.

I was curious about how small smell molecules were and this was the first link. It's 17 years old but some of the responses are funny given what's currently going on.
Here's a few:
Whilst I was in Japan over Christmas in 2001 I was surprised to see that I was sharing a train carriage with about 50 surgeons - or at least that's what they looked like all decked out in face masks. Turns out that, out of politeness, anyone with a cold dons a surgical face mask to prevent anyone else catching their cold.
The fact that the majority of the passengers were wearing one was testimony to their ineffectiveness !
Japan is so densely crowded in its urban areas, I'm surprised a major contagious illness hasn't wiped them out yet. The streets, the subway, bars, and the like are usually shoulder to shoulder people, according to a friend of mine who spent a year there. There's just no distancing yourself from other people...I don't know how they stand it.
Aren't we supposed to be overdue for a flu epidemic. Was the last one some time in the 1920's when so many otherwise healthy, young people died?
Found it interesting and wanted to share.
How? Im completely lost on Bitcoin. So I gather it is basically specific algorithms?
THAT"S BECAUSE THERE IS NOBODY HOME!!!
I think another interesting aspect of Trump being on the sidelines is now the MSM has no where to point the finger and no one to call the boogeyman. Their hypocrisy is being magnified by their reporting on Covid and Cuomo, Kids in Cages, etc. Their ratings will continue to plummet and eventually they are going to have to do their fucking jobs to get eyes back on them.

anyone who goes against the globalist agenda is going to be vilified the same as Trump, it doesn't matter near as much as you think imo. Look at what they did to Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Geatz, Desantis, Rand Paul... anyone who speaks truth to actual power takes a hot media dick to the ass.
- Miners are individuals or teams who use computing power and specialized software to produce bitcoin. Each new bitcoin requires the creation of a new blockchain which is validated by miners. The miner is paid in bitcoin for this validation.
- This computing power used by miners is reportedly so extensive that it currently uses an estimated 17 million kWh in one day.
- The current rate of electricity consumption by bitcoin miners, however, is estimated to be 0.08% of total global electricity consumption. As of 2016, global electricity generation reached nearly 25,000 terawatt-hours

If Trump started his own party it would destroy the republican party imo. He's immediately take over half the party with him, maybe even up to 70 percent.
I think it also gives progressives a way to destroy the democratic party, which would also be a good thing.
This.
Also interesting that people are scared of a candidate's last name if it's Trump but many were openly begging for John John to return lead the way against the cabal. Not sure what makes the Kennedys different from the Trumps other than the Kennedys were life time politicians?
Once you consider that the Trumps have so much money and power they can't be corrupted by money or bribes then very few other people meet the bill (Elon).
The better question is who is Satoshi?
If you can't answer the question to who created the "next big thing" you probably are chasing something that isn't real.

Venezuelans use cryptocurrency to bypass corruption, inflation -
Venezuala is actually a good case study in crypto and govt corruption. check out this article. Bringing around a wheelbarrow full of silver or gold just isn't realistic but hiding a flash drive on your person is no big deal, hence the popularity of crypto in a hyperinflation situation. It also allows the people to circumvent a lot of govt control and fiat money.
Trading one fiat for another is simply that.

It's sad they can't get that gold or silver because that's what they actually need. Hell even their oil would work but their problem is a lack of trust currently.
It's a great case study on why economies must have trust, structure, and RESOURCES.

Fiat currencies obviously have their place. pretending they don't ignores the past 50 years of history. In the absence of currency backed by real things crypto is a very solid option. Until countries start backing their currency by actual stuff crypto is going to continue being a better option.
I tagged you into the master crypto thread so people don't jump my shit.
