As a reminder, this is just my personal opinion and you should make your own decisions when you decide to invest. I believe 2021 and beyond will be a great year for CryptoCurrency. And I want to assure you that many of us will keep Elon Musk in check. He cannot no longer casually make tweets that ruin the market here and there. He is 50 years old. Interpol is well aware that Mr. Musk MADE MORE MONEY FROM BITCOIN THAN FROM SELLING CARS. THAT IS SUSPICIOUS. He manipulated the market in his favor, then dumped the stock. If he was black, he’d already be in jail. Right now, we have black and brown kids in jail for weed. But it’s okay for Elon Musk to get away with this shit? No more. Do not take us for retards. It will backfire. Anyway, for great coverage about CryptoCurrency, listen to actual experts, such as Kevin Rose and his guests on his Modern Finance show.

I love my Razer laptop, it’s where I do the majority of my work. Alas, I must mention that it’s great when you plug it in to a monitor and use keyboard & mouse. It’s a powerful gaming machine, (but can it run Crysis!?! Yes it can) and it runs Cyberpunk 2077 much better than on PS4 regular. It’s awfully heavy on the lap. I prefer my MacBook Pro for that. There is a new Razer 14 option, I might have to look at that, or when the next MacBook 14/16 come out.

Until next time!

  • There’s never just one reason. Possible causes are stress, anxiety, caffeine, the news, alcohol, social media, working too much, not having work to do, and blue light—all of which are arguably artifacts of our productivity-obsessed culture. For most people, cutting them out entirely is near impossible because they’re so baked into the way we live.

    Sleeplessness was already at what the World Health Organization called “epidemic” levels even before Covid-19. The pandemic has made those feelings more widespread and intense, which can lead to a condition some health experts have termed “coronasomnia.”

    Therapy and medication are the gold standard of treatment for sleeplessness. But in recent years, there’s also been an explosion of gadgets and apps promising better sleep through technology. [Quartz]

As you may know, the Prime Factorization of 9 is 3. And as we must always listen to Optimus Prime, especially since he told Bumblebee that he must stay on Planet Earth and protect the humans. There’s a lot of commotion going on right now, and we must focus on letting some people deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants, so that other people can focus on Climate Change. Y’all see this shit, 110/120/130F temperatures in the Pacific Northwest are NOT fucking normal. Whatever the hell you pray to, or meditate to, PLEASE, think about our firefighters during Fire Season.

I saw Fast 9 with my girlfriend last night and it was amazing! Great awesome movie, except dirty-blonde hair Cipher, whom I absolutely despise. She barely had any movie scenes anyway. Yes, there’s a small cliffhanger! Please go to the movie theater and support this movie. Thank you.

I presume by now you have realized that apparently that we have some communities, many in cities, others in rural communities where radical religious groups have QAnon strangleholds. These are very dangerous people, and if you live among these people, it is time to speak up. This is because the FBI and the ATF are not playing around. These radicals went to our Capitol and launched an insurrection. I’ve said this before and I will say it again: if these were black people doing this in D.C., they would be shot on sight. It is imperative that we don’t have a different law for whites, and a different law for blacks. Trump is a cult leader. 600,000 people have died. Please give yourself a reality check and understand the gravity of the situation.
