I'm very grateful that I had this spend at that time, but the reporting on the crypto transactions for 2025, even with the help of a tracking software and me reconciling it, still took hours to get input properly into the tax software.

It was an absolute nightmare. I really want nothing to do with bitcoin or crypto after that experience.

It was worse in 2025 than it was in 2024, by far. The problem is that not all the reports generate the exact same and not all of them import into your tax software properly even though they say it does.

It's working now.

Thought I'd do something completely different this morning. I tried learning to play the hand whistle and ended up sounding like a slobbery Darth Vader.

ngl sometimes it feels like we just traded the censorship risk of big tech for the 'too many knobs' risk of nostr. If X or FB aren't working for you, there's a good chance it isn't working for most. T...

My small group of friends and family won't use Nostr or Deso or any other decentralized platform because it's too hard to keep it working for them. The user experience is not consistent and they don't want to deal with crypto at all for any reason.

Still - Nostr looks like the only viable network right now where free speech can actually remain.

For those of you who don't have LinkedIn anymore, when you're applying for jobs, what do you put in the LinkedIn address field when it's required to have a profile?

If I can get work without having to have a LinkedIn anymore, I'd like to do that.

It's not that I couldn't do it, but I shouldn't be doing it, right? And to top it off, there were several older people who applied and who were "hired." They were old enough to be seniors. The only reason they're looking for work is because they can't afford anything right now.

Had they known this was part of the job requirements or even as part of the physical they had to take, many of them would not have spent money they don't have to have gone to this location for a job to begin with, you know?

It's done those folks a real disservice.

I'm still nursing this shoulder. There's chores to do today, and I'd rather type all day then do the chores. :)

There's a muscle near your shoulder blade that activates when you click the mouse with your fingers or type.

I pulled that muscle. 🥸

The DOT physical had us push and pull 100lbs. There was no mention of this requirement in the job posting, during the interview stage, or the scheduling of orientation.

I'm waiting for the Advil to kick in.

Social Media is full of unhinged individuals.

Landlines and physical newspapers are sounding better and better all the time.
