@rah in April 2022

@rah

And so the weekend starts. Market down a bit I wonder if we are heading towards one of @Bitcoinbaby's weekend dips which mean an opporturnity

@rah

So on paper it looks like England have a fairly easy group but nobody should underestimate the passion of a home country derby assuming that either Scotland or Wales get through. Personally I am cheering for Ukraine - they really deserve for something to go right for them this year.

@rah

So after having a white Christmas and it being 18c a week or so ago today has been about constant snowfall and probably about 10cm (4 in.) has fallen today/ Global warming really is messing up the seasons.

@rah

Even more snow piled up overnight - I remember having a white Easter a few years ago, but this is remarkable how much has fallen. On another note there seems to be an opinion that Putin might be upset because the Ukrainians may (or may not have) bombed a Russian oil refinery that was supposedly for civilian purposes. Well Mr Putin that equates to Lwiw and doesnt even make up for the countless civlians you have murdered nor the residences you have bombed. That oil refinery…

@rah

Portfolio has just hit a new ATH. That will do nicely thank you. Prob is I have stacks of stablecoin and nothing to buy with it. lol A nice problem

@rah

A bit cheeky after all those years when he was effectively competing with nobody. Sounds like he is upset with his Merc

@rah

I see the problem I had with Google on Publish0x tipping has now appeared on Firefox. Namely it claims I am using a VPN and it is blocking tipping. Although I have a VPN it is not activated as I only use it to watch UK TV on my computer when I want to.

@rah

Further to my earlier post i am being informed that P0x is now offline. Anybody else?

@rah

I am pleased to say P0x is working properly again and I have now got a notification that they were experiencing problems. Well done the P0x team for getting it sorted

@rah

Happily tipping away on P0x again this morning and have just encountered a new problem 500 Internal Server Error Anybody else in the same situation.

@rah

I love Celsius Mondays. Another $4.12 mainly in stable coin added to my pile.

@rah

Just wanting people's opinion on something. Since I was a kid I have always been a Star Wars fan. I am too young to see the first two films in the the cinema but I do remember as an 11 year old turning 12 going to see The Return of the Jedi. By then I had seen the original movie but had to wait a few more years before i saw The Empire Stirkes Back - which many claim to be the best of all the Star Wars movies. As an old school fan it might surprise people to know that I…

@rah

Further to my earlier post about Darth Maul and that confusion his appearance has caused in the Star Wars timeline this seems to be the explanation https://www.thewrap.com/solo-star-wars-story-darth-maul-cassian-andor-mandalorian-sequel-qira/ I still don't like it, but I guess Palaptine came back when assumed dead - he of course was far more powerful than Darth Maul and he was barely alive, supported by machines until he (brlefly) sucked the lifeforce out of Rey and Kylo Ren

@rah

Something strange happened on here today. Somehow I lost a follower but later gained two. So whoever added me thank you very much. Would I be right in thinking The Force moved you - given the posts I have made today? lol

@rah

Got quite a light day today with one session in a few mins and a longer one in the evening. I was pleased to see my Star Wars post generated some interest I stated that for me Rogue One is the best film of the eleven with the only possible weaknesses being the lack of the Imperial Death March when Vader goes psycho towards the end and the questionable Sensai-like blind force user. However Death Star Rising would have been an iconic moment in the film had Carrie Fisher not…

@rah

Something that really frustrates me is that NATO used the 1999 massacre at Racak to intervene directly in Kosovo. I am not demeaning nor disrespecting the 45 civilians that the Serbs slaughtered on that day, but how many more must die in Ukraine before NATO take a more direct hand? Or is it because we are afraid of Putin and his nukes? Well maybe if we stand up to him he will back off or his people will kick him out for being a nutjob. And if I am wrong he was always going…

@rah

Just put this question from my training resources to a client "Are people in the 21st century equipped, mentally and emotionally to be able to function in a society – which by definition means interdependently with defined roles and relationships with an effective communications toolkit or are they too dumbed down and technology dependent to be able to function properly in the event of [a major technological] failure?" Your view?

@rah

First Noise of the day and I start with good news. While my first Novel still isn't quite published I have just received acceptance for the SECOND ONE. So now I am an almost double published novelist among other things. So happy I could dance a jig in the street - only it might embarrass MamaRah! lol

@rah

Still in a slight state of disbelief that my second novel was accepted. The first one hasnt even come out yet so the publisher has no sales data to go by other than projections. Now I really need to finish part 3 but with pressures from MamaRah to look after BabyRah when I am not actually delivering training sessions it is really hard. Been weeks since I wrote any original content (blog or novel)

@rah

After the news I got yesterday from the Publisher it has reignited and reincentivised me to get going on Book 3 again which currently stands at about 26,000 words so I am barely quarter of the way there. Difficult to find time as MamaRah steals almost most of my waking moments from me because BabyRah leaves her exhausted at night. That btw is why my Noises are dimminishing too - so please don't connect it with the lack of ability to tip. I love the community. Even when…

@rah

The Mercs struggling again. George making Lewis look ordinary and looking good for Checko. Nice qualifying session.

@rah

BabyRah slept a little better last night, but every time we have some hope he does a complete reversal. Still waiting that full night's sleep. Can't be far away can it? After all he is a year old on Tuesday.

@rah

I had anticipated getting up early with BabyRah to watch the race but not this early. Normally we get him up at 6.50 local time which worked out quite nicely as being about 15 mins before race start. Both he and MamaRah are still sleeping but i am wide awake. Might not get to make much noise during the race while I am watching as I am watching BabyRah too. While supporting Russell this year i have to be a realist and so I will be cheering for Checko or LeClerc today - baring…

@rah

Apparently Max arrived in style - picked up from Facebook - not verified

@rah

Managed to get BabyRah dressed during the formation lap. Go DaddyRah Ready for Lights out.

@rah

What a terrible day for Sainz. Red Bull will capitalise on the Constructors Championship. Guess it will come down to a poor tyre choice. Will let Max get on to LeClerc's tail. Could say the same about Lewis on Max but Max neednt be too worried about the Merc

@rah

That was almost too easy for Checko. The Mercs are useless this year'

@rah

Poor Seb. Got to feel for him. He has had a very bad Australia this year. Wasn't a fan in the past but he has gone from being the most arrogant and reckless driver on the circuit to one of the most considerate. On another note well done George

@rah

Good night Max. Hoppiest moment of the day so far Sorry @Bitcoinbaby Only one winner now. LeClerc

@rah

Was Lewis bleating because there are no team orders for George to let him through. Well from what I saw George deserves to be ahead and this early in the season it would be ridiculous. George just might be more competitive than Lewis this year so George should rightfully stay ahead. Well done Charles

@rah

Air raid sirens sounding over Warsaw! How stupid and insensitive are the Polish government to do so at this particular time? The reason - 12 years since the Smolensk air crash that killed the then President of Poland who's brother now happens to be the de facto leader of Poland. Many Ukrainians have sought solace in Warsaw, many of whom are traumatised. What do you think the air raid siren meant to them? Terror! And you never know - as unlikely as it sounds - Putin might…

@rah

So now the dust has settled time for a quick assessment Red Bulls are the fastest cars on the circuit, but need to work on their reliability. Ferarris are as hot as hell and seemingly quite dependable so far whereas the Mercs are behind but improving. What is of interest though is that as well as an improved performance by the Mercs the McClarens also did much better. It could be a sign that they are improving and given another couple of races they might actually be…

@rah

I love it when I write like this (small part from Book 3 tentatively called The Journey Home) ______________________ And that led to a further revelation. Through the furnace of raw emotion and the chaos of a million scattered thoughts, while still baffled by the meaning of the lesson, I suddenly realised that it hadn’t been about today. It had been about the past. I don’t know how long my tears flowed, but as always she was ready to hold me for a bit longer than I needed.…

@rah

I am feeling quite emotional. One day shy of his first birthday BabyRah has just walked for the first time. He took five steps along the sofa without holding on at all and i almost couldnt believe it. My boy is such a star!

@rah

Another nice $4.03 of passive income courtesy of my predominantly stablecoin that I am holding on Celsius I love Celsius Mondays

@rah

It is just after 6.00 am here and i am already awake. What an interesting day today is going to be. At 9.07 it will be exactly a year since BabyRah was born. I can't believe that he is already a year old. He is hard work and we are permanently tired, but that is a price well worth paying. We had trouble conceiving, and during the course of treatments MamaRah almost died when something went terribly wrong in June 2019, She was rushed to hospital and then blue lighted across…

@rah

After reading the excellent article by PVM about Celsius swaps I am sad to say that this option is currently not available for me. Hope I am able before this dip runs its course.

@rah

Doing the rounds on Facebook. No Comment necessary

@rah

First post of the day, Wonderful 1st birthday with BabyRah yesterday, but a really bad night with him and he is likely to be really cranky again today because he is having another round of vaccines. oh - and btw - MamaRah is likely to be cranky too.

@rah

Just to let people know BabyRah is so far so good after the latest vaccines although his sleep is all over the place today. MamaRah and I will be very lucky if we get any kind of an evening out of today. Let's see how it plays out though.

@rah

Managed to make a nice DAI /TEZOs gain this morning after monetising the dip. Always a positive result when it adds to my stack of stablecoins to further finance dips as they arise.

@rah

Had a lovely walk this afternoon with MamaRah and BabyRah. 20c+ and at this rate I will be in shorts sooner than later - not necessarily an appealing thought for others. Having said that the weather is supposedly going to take another downturn over the weekend.

@rah

I know i have said this before and please be candid enough to tell me if I am moaning about something that I should "man up" to. - I am not Polish but have been living in Poland for nearly 20 years - While far from being perfect my Polish is functional (conversationally B1+ with grammar mistakes) with the only exception being my immediate Polish family as they expect perfection and are quick to criticise and make little or no allowance* for the fact that I have (and never…

@rah

Does anybody have any idea how long "noise prison" lasts. It is now months since I was last able to share tips. I can still receive but surely it is better if I can give too?

@rah

After making such good progress in his sleep last week BabyRah has really regressed again. Seems like the visit of the inlaws for his birthday has proven to be more of a disruption than we considered. At this moment it would be a dream for him to sleep for even 3 hours uninterrupted

@rah

Happy Easter one and all. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing I pray you are safe and well. As for us we went for a lovely walk in the morning sun and soon we will have our Easter dinner and probably just chill out in the afternoon. Permanently tired nowadays so I am sure a nap will be in order too.

@rah

Can't get BabyRah to sleep and now it is 15.44. Should we try to hold him to tonight (he probably wont make the four hours) or risk putting him down and him not being sleepy later. This is the biggest thing we struggle with with him. His sleeping is all over the place

@rah

Worst putting BabyRah down ever - is there any hope he will finally actually get to sleep properly and actually sleep through? We literally havent had time to even pay a bill today. I dont know about Christ's resurrection but we need one We are dead on our feet!

@rah

Any one else experiencing slow logins on their Celsius? Twice in the last three days now.

@rah

Celsius Rewards in. That is another $4.01 added passively - mainly to my stablecoin stock.

@rah

Just taken another 100,000 Coins off Cointiply to take advantage of the dip in BTC which is then heading straight to Celsius and at the same time I am taking $75 of DAI Celsius Rewards and doing the same thing. So adding another $85 of free income to my BTC count (all of which is free).

@rah

With the outbreak of war in Ukraine we applied some weeks ago for a passport for BabyRah just in case we needed to get out quick. We have now been informed that the passport authority has lost the documents. We sent secure delivery and the integirty of the tracker is in place - including an end signature so it is totally on them and they are almost as contactable as a real person behind facebook

@rah

So after he nearly broke us over Easter weekend we have decided to break BabyRah (not literally I add) and MamaRah and I have swapped sides of the bed so if he wakes at night I put him down. Instant results are that he is now waking 3 times instead of 5 or 6 and MamaRah is finally beginning to get some sleep.

@rah

So after complaining to the UK passport authority and showing them the entire route of the letter that I sent they suddenly "miraculously" found it. Such are the wonders of an ass kicking email!

@rah

Is Bing the worst search engine ever I was working with a client earlier and for illustrative purposes I wanted to show a picture of Artoo Detoo serving drinks on Jabba's sail barge in Return of the Jedi See how bad Bing is by searching: "Artoo Detoo serving drinks" and then do the same search on google.

@rah

MamaRah and BabyRah are most probably going away for a few days next week so I will probably get a chance to make a bit more noise and even respond to other people's noises and maybe... just maybe... it will bring me out of Noise prison .

@rah

Max upset. First blood to Le Clerc. Where are the Mercs lol

@rah

Perez's pace against Magmussen with DRS was ridiculous

@rah

Sunday morning, first Noise of the day. Been up for 2 hours already even though it is only 7.38 The joys of having BabyRah Going to be doing a full English soon for breakfast Going to try to see the F1 today but I inadvertantly scheduled my regular catch up with my brother. Can't really change it because it is time for BabyRah to spend with his uncle who because of Covid has yet to meet - even though BabyRah is more than a year old now. How's your Sunday looking my fellow…

@rah

For a moment I thought it was LeClerc.. In those conditions a crash was inevitable

@rah

Go on Charles get after them. Put the Red Bulls under pressure and they will break down lol

@rah

Such a good move by Geoge but messed it up by losing shape afterwards. Only temporary though. George is from the same part of England as me. Hence my loyalties.

@rah

Dont really know what is going on with Charles today. Perez got him a bit too easily after pitting but then coming back at him so easily. Is the Ferrari competitive or not today/

@rah

No DRS = F1 Beauty Parade

@rah

We are already reaching the stage that when it comes to team orders Toto has to favour George. Who'd have thought it? Shame about the Le Clerc spin but the Red Bulls deserved the one two today

@rah

Good morning all. It is Celsius Monday, the best crypto day of the week. Looking to extend my passive income with the transfer of some of my interest to BTC which stakes at a higher rate. Took advantage of a recent dip so let's see how it plays out.

@rah

I have tried FIVE times to respond to a response from @plintz about his trip it Switzerland. The algorithm is turning against me more and more and I am powerless to do anything about it. The worst thing is I dont even know what I did wrong and there seems to be no way for me to fix it. All I wanted to do was write a relevant reply to what he'd written - what is wrong with that?

@rah

Seems I am completely blocked from posting even people.

@rah

Seems Noise has completely turned against me now and I seem to be completely unable to post. This is my SIXTH attempt to post today Sorry @plintz that you didnt get a response in your Swiss holiday

@rah

Is anybody else having probs posting on here? This is my sevnth attempt and each time has been flagged. I suspect it is just me, but I see the last post I received in my feed was 6 hours ago

@rah

Is it just me or are people having problems posting?

@rah

12th attempt today. Anybody else having problems with making Noise or is it just me?

@rah

Been trying to noise all day but seems there was quite a common problem among many. Hopefully all will be back to normal now and you never know I might even be able to tip again!

@rah

lol seems like Noise remembered some of my posts that it labelled as spam earlier. Sorry for the chaos on my feed my friends.

@rah

So I am not sure how long the gas reserves are going to last. Gasprom (Russia) have now cut off the gas supplies to Poland because payment was not offered in Rubles. Methinks it might be time to invest in an electric hob. I have long advocated we should have moved towards greener techs (which means sustainable electricity) and then we wouldnt be dependent on Russian supplies (nor American help which only meets about 20% of Europe's needs and I am sure we will pay for it…

@rah

Don't know if this is real or faked up but it is pretty damn cool whatever. Just hope it is the moon and not a Death Star lol

@rah

Yesterday it was Noise. Today it is Celsius. After having some initial login problems - which has been quite common since I changed smart phone from Huawei to Samsung (the app just doesn't work as well generally on Samsung for some reason including pasting the 2FA code) - however when I did get in and requested a transaction download it just hasn't arrived despite 3 attempts now (and yes I did wait a while). Anybody else experiencing probs with access and report downloading…

@rah

I am currently trying the Free BitCoin hourly faucet. I don't know if it is any good. Does anybody have any experience with it? Do they pay out reliably? Would be grateful for any feedback. I am only interesting in rolling the faucet wheel and not gambling it or anything.

@rah

This just came up on a forum I belong too. I am really not sure I want to "Submit to the Russian invasion of Ukraine 2022" thank you very much.

@rah

Maybe it is poor taste but I couldnt resist

@rah

Start of the long weekend now for me where I live. Locally known as Majowka because it actually features two bank holidays (officially 1st and 3rd) so I dont have to meet clients until Wednesday. MamaRah and BabyRah are away so it is a good chance for me to do some writing methinks How is your weekend looking?

@rah

thinking of taking the weekend to watch all of the Jurassic Park movies. I love monster movies apart from the American Godzilla movies

@rah

So the Kremlin now believes it is in a proxy war with Nato. The first honest thing they have said for years, I somehow suspect they haven't turned a corner though

@rah

Up to Jurassic Park III now which is the shortest of all of the movies but it does introduce us to the spinosaurous which completely kicks the T-Rex's ass. MamaRah doesnt like monster movies so I am taking advantage.

@rah

This turned up on my Facebook feed yesterday. What do you see? I will give my answer after I have had a few answers.

@rah

Back to this image I immediately saw a donkey. A seal and horse is often mentioned but apparently there is a mermaid too - but I can't see it.

@rah

A serious question: Please be honest and direct with your answers. Those of you who know me at least a little bit know that I have some health problems and especially with my hips. Last Saturday I had a consultation with a specialist and in layman's terms what has happened is that the cartilage has completely gone from the "ball" part of the joint where it slots into the "socket" and there is extensive wear on the actual bone itself. Looking at the pictures I would say that…
