In high school in the '90s we were pretty close. It was a handful of places but not that many, basically anywhere we could get away with sitting for hours nursing a coffee or iced tea. If they had pinball, big bonus. Maybe not every day, but certainly many days in the week.

No we'd come up with something else. We need to gene edit everyone to edit out the tribalism gene and replace it with a "we're all in this together" gene.

If I were a teenager again, I'd be headed straight to all the grocery stores in town.

All I'm saying that is if someone hacks the banks computer and takes the money you will get it back. Same if someone steals your credit card and makes a bunch of fraudulent transactions or the bank goes out of business. If someone does any of those things with crypto (which happens distressingly often), your money is gone.

Just bring in some eagles to take care of the mongooses.

Have you heard of a bank? That's where non criminals tend to keep their money.

I really need to start spending more time up trees.

This is 2 week deadline #4 or #5 for Russia to end the war now? I'm losing track.

It depends greatly on how it's stored. Most people just keep it in an exchange, which are robbed fairly often. Which wouldn't be a problem with real cash as there are laws in place to protect you. With crypto you have no recourse.

The TV and stereo aren't amazing for that time. I had better in my teens and twenties just from my restaurant jobs.

I had that TV back in the day. It was an amazing TV for it's time.
