Revisiting Covid19 Vaccines If you have been following me at all, you know I have not gotten a Covid19 jab yet, and will not voluntarily get one for at least 12 more months. I am just not a fan of this mRNA technology. However, one of the users here, https://noise.cash/u/PopPopPrego , has pointed out that I was incorrect about at least one thing: the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is NOT mRNA based. www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different-vaccines/janssen.html…

Our Basketball Hoop and Front Steps You can't see it too well, (because I didn't want to go out in the mud), but the first pic is a shot of our basketball hoop. It is nailed to a coconut tree at the edge of our driveway, outside our garage. On the rare day when it's not muddy outside, you can shoop hoops! (Try it now, and you'll be playing mud ball!) This is kinda ironic, because as a kid growing up we had a basketball hoop on the edge of our driveway, just outside the…

Earn 30% On Tether Via Kucoin Here's how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dc-0dh_dOo&t=2s . Now for a full disclosure. I have NOT done this yet. I was hoping to set up a Kucoin account that I could use to buy crypto without the annoying KYC requirements, but either my info on Kucoin is out of date, or, because I'm a citizen of the United States, (Land of the Free*), this didn't work for me. (I thought because we are residing in the Philippines now, that would be good…

Fourth Day With No Running Water For four days now we have been without running water. This sucks! Yesterday we had a torrential rain, so while that lasted we all got freezing baths using the cold water that was running off our roof into a large water barrel. That was traumatic! All the water that is in the house now is what I call "heavy water", in that you have to lug it inside via a bucket or other container. I know that some of y'all live like this, (without running…

In Defense Of Banks I know that here on noise.cash we like to bash the banks, and especially the banksters that run them. But the recent theft of huge amounts of BTC from Coinbase has got me thinking, (smell the wood burning?), and I've come to the conclusion that maybe banks aren't that bad, at least in comparison to crypto exchanges. It should come as no surprise that banks, having lots and lots and lots of money, (or at least ledger entries showing the collateral for this…

The Ballad Of Our Water Company Well, our stupid water went out again yesterday, and as of today it is still out. (If you're curious, I recently ranted about our horrible water service here: https://noise.cash/post/lg3pwp7r .) This is kinda problematic for me, because when I asked why aren't we using the external water tank, I mostly got evasive answers, until my wife actually admitted that the water started going out last Tuesday. Grr!! The past few days I was making…

Please Don't Tip Me I'm not kidding. Please do NOT give me tips directly from your wallet. If you have an irresistible urge to tip someone, may I suggest that you tip @Bm8ter or @MarSou or one of the other folks on here who are giving back their tips to help those of us in need. (There are probably lots of folks on noise.cash who are doing this, but I am way too lazy and grumpy this morning to bother looking them up.) I am not desperate for cash at the present moment. While…

An Irritating Mob, Chosen By The Minecraft Community (Another post written by my 12 year old son. Enjoy!) Back in 2017 there was a mob vote for Minecraft, Mob A, Mob B, Mob, C and Mob D. And the Community wanted Mob B, the mob would be added in the 1.13 Aquatic Update. Basically Mob B was an undead bird called "the phantom" and it would attack you if you had not sleep for 3 nights. But when the 1.13 update came and the phantom was added the Community hated the phantoms…

Check Out The New Cointracker Site I came across a site today some of y'all may find interesting: https://cointracker.cryptocity.info/ . It's put out by the folk(s) behind https://cryptocity.info , and claims to be an accurate, updated list of things relating to crypto, such as wallets or exchanges. The home page is kinda confusing. On my browser, (Chrome), you have to click one of the icons on the far left to get to a listing of what you're looking for, (e.g., wallets).…

Phooey to the Water Company! This past Sunday we decided enough was enough, and to resolve our water problems once and for all drove in to Citi Hardware in Pagadian City, and purchased a 2000 liter water tank. It is our hope that this new tank, combined with our existing 1500 liter water tank, will get us through whatever nonsense the Water Company chooses to hurl our way. The first three pics are of our new blue water tank, just after it was delivered, and being installed…

The Alec Baldwin Tragedy If you haven't heard already, Alec Baldwin was involved with an accident on a movie set that killed one woman, and injured another person. (Supposedly he shot them with a "prop" gun.) Before I go any further, I need to say this: I intensely dislike Alec Baldwin for his public stance on political and social issues. Yes, he is a great actor, and for all I know a great guy in person, but his public persona is one of a very rich Hollywood leftist who…

All The Minecraft Updates, Explained Uh oh ...... another post by my 12 year old son! The first update for minecraft was 1.1. In this update they added other languages besides English, They also added shears (or scissors) and with shears you can now shear sheep to get their wool because before the update came out you had to kill sheep to get its wool, they also added a flat world. The next update would be 1.2 in this update they increase the world height limit. They also…

A Question for the Vaccinated As an alleged Anti-Vaxxer, and probable conspiracy theorist believer, I am becoming dismayed by the direction the crusade against Covid19 has taken. What started off as a three week lockdown to "flatten the curve" has turned into an almost ongoing disruption of normal life for nearly two years now, combined with accusations that those of us who chose not to vaccinate are prolonging the pandemic. I have a question for those of you who have been…

Has Noise.Cash Been Hacked? **NO!!** ******* EDIT: Nevermind. This was just my paranoia acting up again. I went back through my notifications, and clicked on the link. After reading through a bunch of short posts, I received $2.00 . Hooray!! --------------------------------------------------- Did any of y'all get a notification that lead to the attached image? What is this? Is this a legit new feature of noise.cash, or has someone hacked the notification feature? There is no…

An Unloved Post I have a post I made several months ago, https://noise.cash/post/lqg8qwmq , that is a screen capture of a cool photo I found somewhere. I think it is a wonderful post, but ..... it has been shown absolutely no love whatsoever. Not a single soul has poked its heart. :-( Maybe things were different on noise.cash when I posted it, and it would get some likes now? Who knows? But I have a bad feeling that this silly current post containing pics of my younger son…

Where Do We Go From Here? This is all @littlenewthings fault. She gave me a gentle push down this path, then wandering around I stumbled upon this video series. Yes, it is from a Christian perspective. If you aren't a Christian, please don't let that turn you away. I am not necessarily a Christian; I approach sources of information such as this from the point of view of gaining some insights from them. Much, much smarter folks than me have put lots of thought into what is…

Fun With Snakes Yesterday I saw my first Philippine Cobra. We were standing outside a small sari-sari store. My nephew had parked his motorcycle in front, and my wife and niece were walking up to the store. Suddenly my niece pointed at something, and my wife went absolutely batshit crazy. She jumped, started screaming, and came running towards us like ..... well, like she just saw a snake. The little bastard had gotten under the motorcycle and, maybe attracted by the heat,…

Will Crypto Ever Be More Than A Hype? I'm having a crisis of faith regarding crypto's long term viability. Why? Because the two doggy poop "meme" coins, SHIB and DOGE, are currently #9 and #10 in market cap respectively, according to CoinGecko. ( https://www.coingecko.com/en ) Meanwhile, BCH is now down to spot #21. Other coins I admire, such as LTC, (#17), and DASH, (#77), are also behind the stupid doggy coins in market cap, while interesting projects such as NANO, (very…
