Last night I was playing RuneScape w/ @matthewb and overheard this guy talking with his buddies about how he hates Bitcoin bros and hopes it crashes, that he was raised upper middle class but still smokes crack


idk man, maybe worry about your own problems instead of praying on the downfall of others
US gov: You intentionally helped North Korea launder over $1B
Chainalysis: Yeah so, about that... it was actually a lot less...
US gov: oh okay, let's not tell anyone but you STILL intentionally helped North Korea launder $600M

Make it make sense.

5yr wait to be assigned a family doctor, then once you are accepted you can book yearly checkups etc. until then you don’t have a family doctor you can call.

broadly I’d characterize it as people 35+ likely have a family doctor they can call for an appointment in 1-2 weeks, people under 35 likely don’t have a family doctor.

there are also same-day “walk-in” clinics but the system is a bit bizarre. basically you need to present yourself in-person at 7am to claim a spot for later in the day (e.g. 3pm) to see a GP. so in practice it’s essentially next day service, which means you will go to the ER for anything somewhat urgent (4-8hr wait time).

specialists are a separate thing so if you need a referral, you need to go through a family doctor and then wait 1-2yr. in practice this means that many people just go to paid clinics for whatever treatments they need.

overall much better than nothing but sometimes worth considering if the service is worth nearly half your income.

At TSA I overheard a cowboy (full hat and everything) in his mid 40s say “yeah my landlord won’t let me have chickens on the property but I can have my horse so that’s good.”

I’m like? You own a horse but not a house??
DEN Conspiracies Pt. 2 - sharing a few of my favourites

#1 New World Order
Denver International Airport opened in 1995 as a replacement for Stapleton, but it went $2B over budget, sparking rumours about what was really being built. A dedication capstone at the airport features a Masonic crest and credits members of the “New World Airport Commission,” an organization that does not exist.

During my final Uber to the airport yesterday, I decided to learn about the Blue Mustang and its dark history.

Looming outside Denver’s airport, a 32-foot-tall mustang watches travellers come and go with its glowing red eyes fixed on the horizon. Commissioned by the city of Denver, The Blue Mustang, colloquially known as Blucifer, was meant to be a symbol of the West. Instead, it became a legend of misfortune when it turned on its own creator.

Artist Luis Jiménez was hired to design a sculpture representing the Midwest with a budget of $300K. The city originally wanted a buffalo stampede but scrapped the idea given the history of the species being hunted to near-extinction. Jiménez proposed a mustang instead, a symbol of the Midwest and a nod to early travel. The piece was inspired from a stallion he owned named Black Jack, a blue Appaloosa, with its glowing eyes paying tribute to his father’s work in a neon sign shop.

While reading about Blue Mustang I learned that DEN is the second largest airport in the world at 33k acres.

Put another way, it is TWICE the size of Manhattan.

if you need trams your airport is badly designed or too big

CT is full of traders, so trading alpha naturally flows from there or TG.

Given how many founders, builders, and VCs are on FC, you’d think there’d be more token-gated dealflow chats.
I find it wild that only 43% of eligible voters in Ontario voted in the 2022 provincial election.

SKINCARE FOR ETHDENVER

Denver climate is dry AF and will leave your face flaky, your lips cracked, and your knuckles red. Between the dry air, late nights, cocktail happy hours, and any red rock adventuring you get up to, staying hydrated is gonna help you in the short and long term. I’m sharing some tips + products I’m using to avoid painful, crusty, irritated skin.

Dry skin isn’t just uncomfortable, it actually leads to premature aging. A compromised skin barrier makes you more vulnerable to UV damage, pollution, and free radicals. It also slows down skin turnover and makes fine lines more visible. That’s why a cream like Skinfix Barrier+ is good for instant relief + long term health because of its blend of peptides, ceramides, and fatty acids that strengthen the barrier and lock in moisture.
they’re the besttt 🥹

In 2007, they made five $1M coins from 99.999% pure gold. One was loaned to a Berlin museum, stolen, allegedly melted down, and sold for scrap.
Went to the Royal Canadian Mint yesterday. No smart contracts, just heavy, permissioned-assets.

This mornings matcha and coffee made by @matthewb 🍵☕️

I’m trying a new matcha today from Kettl, sourced from Shirakawa in Uji. I usually go for matcha with a deep umami, but this one has a more balanced, nutty profile with fresh grassy notes.
