@rah in July 2022

@rah

Read an interesting article today which was pushing ATOM (COSMOS) as a real coin with a lot of future potential. Despite the current price what views do you have about it?

@rah

bitco.in is timing out now and not working properly!

@rah

Temperature hit 38c today. Unbearable. Supposed to be storms and cooler overnight and tomorrow. Hope so!

@rah

Hit 38c yesterday much better at 21 c today but very humid

@rah

MamaRah had a bit of a meltdown today. Toddl-Rah was really testing for her, but as is often the case quite good for me. That's why there has been so little Noise from me today.

@rah

Almost lights our and ready to watch live so long as Toddl-Rah allows.

@rah

wonder if lewis will spin max out again this year

@rah

Thtt's my boy out. George's first DNF and no top 5 place for him :( Edit Sorry if that seemed tactless I hadnt seen the upside down car

@rah

Whose car went upside down they are not showing or saying. Is he ok. Was it a haas?

@rah

Should George be allowed to restart? He is claiming he stopped to help (not convinced)

@rah

Gasly mistake! Amazing nobody was hurt near the catch fence. For me George should be allowed to restart

@rah

Go Ferrari! Well done both of them! Drinking Red Bull gives you wings!!!

@rah

Good night Max!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@rah

What an irony if it was part of Checkos car that damaged Max's. Personally think it was probably the curb

@rah

Nice to know that Mercedes pit crew still know how to sabotage their drivers.

@rah

I enjoyed that almost as much as Ocon did!

@rah

SC played potentially into Lewis's hands so long as he can manage the soft tyres across the line

@rah

Despite my last comment Checko might be the biggest beneficiary given the Red Bull's power. Not bad after such a bad start!

@rah

Whoever you support that is cracking racing. Checko might have pushed lewis off the track though

@rah

I must say it has been nice to banter live while the race was going on for the first time in ages. Checko driver of the day - no doubt about it!

@rah

MamaRah just got Toddl-Rah to sleep in about 40 mins with no nursing! This afternoon's nap he went down in less than 10. Steady incremental improvement with occasional kickbacks and regressions

@rah

In just over a month I am now almost at 10,000 BTC Sats on BitCoinker. Should hopefully pass that target sometime tomorrow. Minimum cash out is 20,000 Sats so I guess in less than a month I will be able to attest to the integrity of the faucet.

@rah

Johnson is finished. Sunak and Javid gone! only a matter of time now...

@rah

Hip hurting today. Cant wait to have surgery and get it all out of the way!

@rah

So nice to be stacking up P0x ETH again. Somehow it motivates me to write more - we will see what Toddl-Rah allows!

@rah

Been having a fun reminise today on FB. Posted a long piece about my secondary school days. Do you think it is worth posting on P0x - although nobody will know who I am talking about :D Been fun to write and been fun to get some of the responses.

@rah

Boris has gone Time to celebrate!!!

@rah

Didnt quite make it yesterday but I should reach 10.000 BTC Sats on Bitcoinker today. Half way to my first withdrawal

@rah

Near miss with Toddl-Rah this afternoon. Decided to walk off the edge of the sofa. Caught him only about 10cm / 4in off the floor. That'd have hurt!!!

@rah

Not too much noise from me over the last couple of days. Yesterday evening might mark a signficant turning point in weaning Toddl-Rah. When he woke up at about 5 as he often does he was given a bottle instead of breast and he settled himself again within 5 mins. if we can repeat this for a few more days MamaRah gets her boobs back!!!

@rah

Pot empty again. Sorry people. hope i am not in Noise Prison again!

@rah

Novel number 3 now exceeds 50,000 words which based on the previous two means i am about half way there. I suspect this one will be longer, after all the Harry Potter books got bigger too.,

@rah

Ferraris pretty much sabotsged any chance they had in the sprint by being overcompetitive with each other. They should have tandumed and used DRS to get close to Max. With such infighting and the Merc not being competitive there is no competition this year. Checko did well though

@rah

Given Todd-Rah's routine I probably will end up watching this afternoon out of sync. Let's see how it works out.

@rah

Peres pushing far too hard and paid the price

@rah

George had nowhere to go. Racing incident. Checko in a fast car should have just waited another half lap or so

@rah

now out of sync. Good move by Charles Geoge unlucky

@rah

So many cars exceeding track limits - maybe they should make the track wider lol :D

@rah

Sainz struggling to get out as the car was rolling back is not an image i want to see again - at least he is ok

@rah

I am completely amazed that babies survive their toddling years. Toddl-Rah is like a catastrophe waiting to happen and is constantly bumping his head. We used child safety things on stuff like coffee table corners but he pulled them all off and started chewing them. The coffee table is a big problem but it is now protecting the decoders How did your toddlers survive?

@rah

Not sure but is this the first time both Mercs have finished this season with Lewis ahead of George?

@rah

While still much improved compared to five weeks ago Toddl-Rah was a bit unsettled last night and was awake for more than an hour from before 4 until five. He also bit me really really hard when trying to comfort him - any suggestions?

@rah

I used to get excited about Celsius Mondays, but even though the rewards are still adding up, their fate is less than certain so I barely register them nowadays.

@rah

And so today Toddl-Rah is exactly 15 months old - yes he has made it to a year and a quarter!

@rah

Another 1200 words written today - definitely too strong to show a sample here!!!

@rah

Not trying to feed the FUD here but was reading some forecasts about the crypto market earlier and its seems that most short to mid-term analysis suggests that we won't move back into profitable territory until 2024 (depending when you bought the dip or if you didnt)

@rah

Latest update from Celsius concerning the mess they are in. How many of our assets do you think we will actually get back? _____________________________________________________________ Moments ago, we announced that Celsius voluntarily filed petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization. You will be able to find the official announcement here. Today’s filing follows the difficult but necessary decision by Celsius last month to pause withdrawals, Swap, and transfers on its platform…

@rah

Managed a few hundred words today - not much but it is progress and where there is progress there is hope!

@rah

My portfolio is the highest its been for about a month. Still concerned about the overall trend though

@rah

I love a good dinosaur moving and I am planning (with MamaRah's permission) to go to the cinema on Monday to see the latest Jurassic Park / World installment. My first visit to a cinema since Covid lockdowns began. In fact the last movie I saw was the last Star Wars in December 2019 before the whole world took a massive jump off a cliff.

@rah

Am I pushing my descriptive language too far in this sentence.? Kaleidoscope to describe something rather colourless :D ________ I lay there in the stillness and as my eyes adjusted the pitch black, with the only exception being the streetlight peeping through the edge of the window blind, became a monochrome kaleidoscope of different greys. _____________

@rah

So i have just set up a wallet on here to stop the flow of BCH to Celsius where I have 3 BCH all from Noise. So now at least I can redirect and see how it goes. Hope it is as easy as it seems. I am somehow a bit suspicious now though tbh

@rah

I have just put MamaRah to sleep faster than I did Toddl-Rah lol

@rah

No videos on Cointiply today. Anybody else?

@rah

Got up at six this morning with Toddl-Rah but this is the first chance I have had to post. Big decision I made yesterday was to stop feeding my Noise BCH into Celsius as it could be I am chasing good money after bad. Nice to see the BCH start to grow on my Noise Wallet and from now on it will be redirected. Still hope Celsius come good but I am no longer going to load it with profits or a stablecoin base to push my underlying baseline up.

@rah

Now at 13,000 Sats (BTC) on my BitCoinker only 7,000 to go before i get a payout. Although they only pay on the first of the month so I might not make it for 1st August. So I guess I will wait until 1st September to see if it is really genuine. In the meantime why not give it a go - it costs nothing but a bit of time and if it doesnt work I will be the first to tell people to stop https://bitcoinker.com/?r=3C6wisiEV7Kp6Cj7gmfeTKdwqxafteuctW (meanwhile my Bitco.in is plodding…

@rah

So after two weeks of me putting Toddl-Rah to sleep on my own to get him off the breast and four weeks of MamaRah and I doing it together tonight I am doing it on my own again. MamaRah will do tomorrow. The whole point is that both of us need to be able to sleep him on our own. I still have an upcoming hip surgery so there will be at least a couple of weeks when I won't and if she can't we will have problems Hence us moving on it early. Anything could happen in the next few…

@rah

Got Toddl-Rah down in 20 minutes. Too good to be true - waiting the the blowback!

@rah

A Stark Truth and a Request for my fellow noisers This morning I have made the difficult decision to ZERO all of my Celsius balances (maybe I will get something back - but I have to work on the basis of probably not). As you can see from the graphic it is like a nuclear bomb has been dropped on my portfolio only such a bomb would be less devastating. Toddl-Rah is less affected because none of his assets were on Celsius. The only silver lining is that the prices of what I do…

@rah

Took Toddl-Rah out this morning and for the first time in his life he had a chance to run completely unimpeded on open grassland in park (he has been enjoying the play park and sandpit for some time now) For the first 10 minutes he clung to his buggy but then he found his confidence and loved his freedom.

@rah

My flow is quite slow still so tipping when I can and I am sorry if you havent got anything from me esp from your responses to my posts. On another matter coming back to Celsius, in addition to being a staking platform they are also a crypto lending platform so presumably they are still collecting these repayments on the loans in crypto (regardless of the price?) and is it possible that the current issue is liquidity - put simply if they reward and lend in crypto price…

@rah

Trying homemade vege-burgers today. Lets see how it works out. Always a sceptic with vege options - i am definitely a carnivore

@rah

So the homemade vege-burger was actually quite good - but I am not going to tell MamaRah that too loudly. Still prefer meat but it was ok as an occasional alterative

@rah

The calculation I showed earlier on the state of my portfolio is not accurate. I didnt carry the data over from one Cell on my Excel and overall it means I am almost 200% down when factoring in ZEROing my Celsius account Brutal but hopefully the only way is up!

@rah

Found some time to make a lot of Noise today. Suddenly ZEROing my Celsius and finding myself almost 200% down is a big motivator. MamaRah will just have to adapt and help me manage Toddl-Rah more during the day - esp since we are pretty much sharing night responsibility for him because he is almost off the boob. When she was up every hour or two previously it was different... ... oh and btw it is her turn tonight to try to get him down on her own. I know I might sound a bit…

@rah

So i have a rare few minutes in the evening to myself. As per the new regime MamaRah is putting Toddl-Rah down tonight flying on her own. My turn again tomorrow. Just to ensure that we can both do it if need be. He is pretty tired so there is a chance the few minutes might actually work out to be very few minutes. Let's see...

@rah

MamaRah got him down in 16 minutes. Nine minutes better than I did last night. Good on her!

@rah

eight and a half hours from Toddl-Rah last night but I am still up before 6am. Something not quite right there but much better than it was just 5 weeks ago!

@rah

I used to get excited about Celsius Mondays and watching the steady flow of passive income coming my way, but now their notifications about rewards just remind me of what they've taken. It might still come up good but I am sceptical

@rah

Just had a monster nap. TBH I am napping far too much since I had Covid in the beginning of May - even when allowing for having Toddl-Rah - going to the doctor on Friday just to be sure everything is ok. I actually wouldn't bother the doctor but need to go for something else anyway so this way I kill two birds with one stone.

@rah

Based on today's figures only my 200% deficit currently stands at 195%. There might be hope lol

@rah

Thank you to @bitcoinbaby for the heads up. Things still look bleak on Celsius but maybe not quite as bas as it seemed. Looks like it is a question of stick or twist.

@rah

So pleased I am not in England today. Expecting about 25c rather than 41c. Even 25 can be a bit much. A few weeks ago it was 38c here and I was melting!

@rah

Just got a phone call. Toddl-Rah has a free nursery place from September so long as we file the documents in time. Mixed feelings esp for MamaRah and a concern being Covid among kids. Bit of a mixed day for me. I am attending the funeral of my uncle online this afternoon as I am unable to go in person.

@rah

I have a green light on my portfolio :D even if it is temporary. Invest 1 = MamaRah, her parents and me. Invest 2 - MamaRah and me. Toddl-Rah=ToddlRah There is hope and Toddl-Rah is leading the way!

@rah

Closing in on 50,000 Cointiply Coins again (fixed dollar value of $5) , what do you think the smart move would be, to leave them on Cointiply at 5% APY or capitialise on current BTC price and get more BTC for my money? Or in short do you think there are enough indicators to show the worst of this bear market is over and the only way is up - which means convert sooner or later. My personal reading was that it started stabilising about 3 weeks ago and is gradually undulating…

@rah

Just to think - and we were far less dependent on them back in the day

@rah

I have just attended my first virtual funeral and while it was respectful - for my late uncle - it lacked the emotional impact of being there in person. So for me better to be there in person but if you can't it is a respectful second option.

@rah

An area of the UK where i am from has hit 40.2c today, a new UK record. Elsewhere runways are melting and we seem to have the start of the second Great Fire of London

@rah

Has BCH left the launchpad again. According to Coinbase it is more than +11 today

@rah

This might appear twice. I posted it and it disappeared Is BCH about to take off again? Accoring to Coinbase it has increased in value by more than 11% in the last 24 hours. Apologies if you are seeing double!

@rah

No Celsius Rewards notification this week - hmmm I wonder why!

@rah

Today is looking slightly brighter again with Toddl-Rah leading the way!

@rah

This is the Ukrainian reality. A former client of mine and a very gentle and kind person who'd never even consider doing something like this in normal circumstances. "The number of attacks on civilians by Russian fascists is simply off the charts. And even the most peaceful and far from war individuals like me have to prepare them a proper welcome." - Translated from his Facebook page

@rah

Working day almost done. Just a 90 minute session now then a few sessions tomorrow morning and then it will be time for an early weekend which will be quite long because my next session is on Monday afternoon. I do have a doctor's appointment on Friday morning though.

@rah

Bit more of a sleep today :D but will almost certainly need my nap as usual. Doctor tomorrow to try to get on top of if. Lets see how that goes.

@rah

I don't know about anybody else but since P0x switched back to ETH I am finding new motivation to write even if squeezing time out to do it is proving to be challenging.

@rah

Is it weird that I like grabbing a handful of ruccola from the fridge in teh same way as I like to grab chocolate or biscuits. At least when i do it it is healthy!

@rah

Had my doctor's appointment today and while not confirmed yet it seems likely that I have developed some Long Covid symptoms.

@rah

Hip's hurting - probably because a storm is on the way - head full of post covid headache. Pretty much useless around Toddl-Rah, Might try some writing if my head is in the game.

@rah

So Putin agrees to allow resumption of Ukrainian grain exports yesterday and today he bombs the port area of Odessa Frankly history will judge him as arguably comparible to Hitler and Stalin (and that is not a defence of either of them).

@rah

Hamilton and Russell go P1 and P2 for now at least!

@rah

lol it didnt last long!

@rah

Still no videos to watch on Cointiply. Five days now. Maybe they got into trouble for the "UP" videos which somehow seem totally inappropriate!

@rah

Just got 50 BTC Sats in one claim in Bitcoinker, first one that high in a week. Currently running at almost at 16,000 Sats and I won't make the 20,000 minimum payout threshold by the end of the month as I had hoped to - but will definitely hit it by the beginning of September

@rah

Toddl-Rah gave us probably his best night ever. At least in the top two. Apart from briefly about two hours in he slept continually for 8 hours and then when he woke he took a bottle and drank it before putting himself back to sleep for another two hours. As for me hips are still bad, but so far not as bad as yesterday, but a better night's sleep will only help with my (probably long covid) fatigue.

@rah

Sorry people looks like I will be watching with a time lapse again :(

@rah

Running about 15 mins behind will try to catch up during any yellow / red flags

@rah

Just reached the point when LeClerc went off..Hope he is ok. Give the race to Max

@rah

Come on Sainz :D

@rah

Now running just under 15 minutes behind. Lap 38

@rah

BOX BOX when overtaking - how mad was that!

@rah

Did seem a bit dirty by Russell at first look but again where could he go?

@rah

Checko caught napping! And I thought it was just me who needed a middle of the day nap.

@rah

Another pretty good night from Toddl-Rah last night. He went down at about 9 and slept through til 5 but then he wouldnt go down again. Just got him down for his middle of day nap as we need to try to keep him on track so that he doesnt fall asleep too early tonight I know that sounds contradictory but if he falls asleep too soon he is guaranteed to wake up between 4 and 5 and we'd prefer to have him awake a bit more into the evening than when we want to sleep.

@rah

Toddl-Rah has got into a really good habit recently during his middle of the day nap. If he wakes too early i simply say to him "Not yet darling, it's too soon. Put your head back down" he simply lays back down and goes back to sleep. And now I've shared this with you I've probably jinxed it as that is what normally happens when I say something positive about his behaviour

@rah

Is it me again or are tips running slowly today. I'm not sure i've even managed to tip a single person today.

@rah

One more thing about putting Toddl-Rah down today. He went down well facing the right way, when he briefly woke up and I told him to put his head back down he turned wrong way round and fell asleep immediately and then an hour later when he woke again briefly and I did the same he put himself down again - only he righted himself. he literally did a full 360 in his sleep. What a star!

@rah

Is it illegal to tie a child up for his own good. Toddl-Rah has almost just climbed up a bookcase from a sofa. (just kidding about the tying! Maybe?)

@rah

Toddl-Rah really enjoys the fact that he can walk now - he dragged MamaRah our for a half hour walk - wobbly at his pace of course before is bath and nighttime routine.

@rah

Video ads have now been removed from my Cointiply menu after more than a week of no such ads. I am sure the regulator had a problem with the UP adverts

@rah

Anybody else using Bitco.in faucet and in recognising how slow it is hardly pays any attention to the accumulation of Satoshis? That's definitely me - although I do tend to watch my BitCoinker a bit closer as it moves far faster - let's just hope it pays out!

@rah

One more training session to deliver tonight. Will keep it light I think today. Don't really feel like delving into the perils of getting CRM wrong!

@rah

You know I am always very discreet when it comes to Todd;-Rah's face so here is a perfectly timed photo of him mastering his water bottle. My youngling is doing well and will be moving on to a lightsaber next week. I just dread the day when he says "Once I called you Master, but..."

@rah

Toddl-Rah was very cute (as always) this morning, but this was a first. He put his hat on and went for the door and told MamaRah in no uncertain terms and without a single word that he wanted to go out for a walk. CUTE!

@rah

Russian lies about Ukraine are getting crazier according to the Polish media. Now according to former President Medvedev Poland and Romania are looking to annex most of Western Ukraine in a not dissimilar was to how Poland was cut up like a cake at the end of the 18th century; a partition that lasted til the end of the First World War

@rah

So far my tests have come back as normal - neurologist tomorrow so lets see how that plays out.

@rah

Brain is basically ok according to the neurologist but am going to have to have a scan to try to figure out what the Pfizer type of headaches are.

@rah

Never been much good at making pancakes but getting better. Batter was a bit too thick so they came out bulletproof. But at least they were round. I'll take the win thank you very much

@rah

MamaRah is putting Toddl-Rah down. Maybe I will have a few minutes to bang out some words. This is how it is nowadays, snatched moments of writing as and when I can. At least I am a proficient (and professionally trained) typist - did you know that about me :D

@rah

No new P0x article today, so why not take a trip back in time and visit one of my old ones. https://www.publish0x.com/rah/the-principle-of-marginal-gains-xolrmll This is an old favourite of mine about how the principle of marginal gains can be used to increase our crypto portfolios. It also includes the example of Team GB cycling to help clarify how the principle works

@rah

Just earned my $3 in GAL(axy) tokens on Coinbase Earn.

@rah

After my huge Celsius write off on 17th July (you never know I might get some of it back - we'll see) I am fighting and scraping and steadily clawing back what I lost. It will take a long time. Best thing is I have a lot of assets which are reflecting the bear market and once the bulls start running there will be quite a turn around that should at least half the deficit. Compared to the last check point I did, Toddl-Rah has fallen back into the red but to be honest that is…

@rah

Just managed to finish the first draft of one of the most pivotal chapters of book 3. I long wrestled about how it'd come together with integrity and be consistent with the characters but one I got going it flowed nicely. I knew where I was and where I needed to but was unsure of the path it'd take. But my characters have got to where they need to be and it feels good to have got it down.

@rah

Well done George. My boy did good

@rah

My turn to sleep Toddl-Rah tonight. His nap was a bit later today so it might take some time.

@rah

Almost forgot to my Cointiply PTC ads today. Covid brain? Jury's out

@rah

Unfortunately I will almost certainly be watching today's race with a time lag again. Lights out is at the worst possible time for Toddl-Rah's regime or alternatively I might get to see the first few laps and then have to stop and go back. The other alternative is that he wakes up early from his nap so we can feed him early but that creates all kinds of problems for the night time So I will try to be as co-ordinated as I can but out of date banter is just out of date. Sorry…

@rah

Just doing my end of months figures and thanks to Celsius it looks like I have to write off about £2.5k of assets. I may get some back during the restructuring and an abundance of CEL tokens. My additional concern is of course that even if the restructuring works people are going to want to withdraw as soon as they can, unless part of the restructuring places quotas - eg no more than 10% of your held assets in a quarter. If everyone tries to take everything out their…

@rah

Just got this from Celsius: _______________________________________- Dear Valued Customer, On July 13, 2022 (the "Petition Date"), Celsius Network LLC and seven affiliated debtors (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors' bankruptcy cases are jointly administered under Case No. 22-10964 before the Honorable Martin Glenn in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District…

@rah

Will at least get to see lights out live!

@rah

George saw red twice over there and s___ himself, but well defended in the air Safety car - he has to do it again!

@rah

Look at George - no longer the rookie. Read the green flag perfectly

@rah

Bulls seem to be doing ok after a poor qualifying

@rah

Now I am running abt 25 mins behind. Lap 11. Lewis just too Norris

@rah

Hope I am a false prophet here but from my position hope George doesnt run his tyres too long and blow them

@rah

... and now he has pitted

@rah

With it being the end of the month apparently Christian Horner has just signed off approval for the Payroll for July. His team are delighted lol

@rah

Here's a shock for you @BitCoinbaby. Max was driver of the day without any doubt. Lewis and George did well but Max outclassed them and even had time to take a spin :D

@rah

Well done England Girls The Lionesses roar!!!

@rah

Managed to write exactly 666 words today for Novel 3! No comment!
