Oct. 5, 21: Routine, Teaching, Oculus, TV, and Games
Up at six thirty this morning and made it through a full night and then some, about a half an hour over goal! šš„³ I have been running a bit short lately, but not been dragging much and itās been quite a while since I crashed in the afternoon. š
Just the usual morning routine. Cryptos still more or less sideways (at least the ones Iām in)ā¦BTC starting to see some nice green candles and back up over $50k! š¤ Been spending a lot less time over on Discord. Did a bit of a cost/benefit analysis of the amount of time I mess around on thereā¦outside of a couple good laughs now and then, not much to show for it. Unfortunately, it seems that Iām actually checking Facebook instead; not really a good trade.
Had early teaching, so whipped together the basics of my post for the day and got it scheduled (really annoying that I have to post to the minute every day or Brofund will skip me - like $.3 š”), but I didnāt end up going back and editing my blog part properly. Hate leaving them, but at the same time I suppose it was better āqualityā than many posts yesterday (and all dBuzz posts). š
Speaking of āqualityā posting, got some wicked bad news that #AutomaticWin is no longer going to be a thing. Seems he hit some downvoting issues. That really is a problem with this chainā¦that a few very powerful actors can dominate most everyone else and impose their view by force. Sure, paying for votes isnāt a great situation and getting rid of bidbots wasnāt necessarily a bad thing, but they stifle all other innovations/ideas/businesses by insisting that manual curation of āqualityā content is the only valid use of Hiveās inflation. At the end of the day, they just want more of the pool to themselves; sad, reallyā¦keeps the chain valued well below what it potentially could beā¦theyāll just have to stuff their hands in their pockets and hope they get a knock-on effect from Splinterlands.
Anyway, got stuck in construction traffic on the way in, which ate nearly all of my buffer, but I made it to class with a couple minutes left to spare. We started into a whole new deal today: defining sequences and convergence of sequencesā¦the long road to Taylor Series.
Ended class just a few minutes early and the drive home was smooth, so got back even before one! Grabbed a sandwich for lunch, but still didnāt feel like putzing out in the garage. Need to get back out there, plenty to do on that pan!
Instead, I satisfied my Oculus craving that was thwarted yesterday. Got a new roguelike shooter. Itās pretty fun, but definitely hard; didnāt make it very far. Gave it a couple of run throughs, but the motion started to get to me a little, so I switched over to Puzzling Places. Made some more serious progress, but still didnāt finish the one Iāve been working on. Four hundred pieces is nuts!
I actually ran the headset battery out and was forced to quit. Started getting stuff ready for when Wenche got home to make turkey tacos for dinner, but we didnāt have any taco spices left and ended up having an omelette instead.
Not too much else going on for the rest of the evening. Played a ton of Splinterlands and we watched a bunch more Cougar Town, glad we found that one; itās funny and we have like six seasons! š
Ahh, General Crimeā¦dShittyās shittiest aspect, outside of simply just not paying out anything. With that whopping fifteen SIM I should take a night out on the town!
Went in once on CryptoBrewmaster today, collected the ingredient I started yesterday and started another one goingā¦guess once a day should be quicker than it has been going and is only a slight waste of time. Gives me something other than dShitty to complain about every day.
Rising Star is more or less the same as well. I kept on for a bit with lessons and got my Ego a little lower, but been working towards unlocking more missions in the second area. I think Iām getting some more play minutes now that logging in isnāt so much of a hassle, might help with my ranking somewhat, but Iām not holding my breath.
I started playing Splinterlands relatively early this evening and played quite a lot. I was hoping to finish up two quests today to try and get caught up, but by the time I finished one and got on a losing streak, Iād had enough.
With more than a week left in the season, I finally advanced to Gold II. That only leaves a couple days to get through II and I to get back to Diamond before the reset (well, a day or more before). I feel like Iām a little behind pace, spent several days in Silver, so weāll have to see how it goes.

I'm playing a little more Splinterlands these days myself. I even played a tournament or two over the past week. I can barely sneak in the lowest of paylevels in the bronze/silver tournaments with my BETA/REWARDS collection. That hive price sure took off and with it SPS and with SPS, DEC. I suspect things are going to get real crazy around here very soon.
