The Slobberchops Ramble

I woke up this morning way too early. As @bingbabe starts her job at 7 am I ritually am disturbed and generally say, 'oh fuck it' and drag myself out of bed to see what has been happening in the world of crypto.

What to write about today? Mort the Shit Manager effectively ended with ‘Mandy’s Curves’ and the stories of him getting more outrageous every time.

@bozz simply said, ‘I have no words’ and with Mort recently getting the sack in “The Horrors of Kwiksave: The Death of Mort", well maybe it’s time to put that mini-series to bed.

Do I publish another “Tales of the Urban Explorer”? I have plenty of content but I feel like I am becoming a single-track writer. Maybe some good old rambling might go down well?

I feel like this kind of read can be entertaining and I do like @anomadsoul’s reads when he does the rambles.

The Battle of the Bulge

It’s been like this since this virus hit, me barely going out and managing to put on half a stone (that’s seven pounds) to American readers.

My dismay of the growing podge was confirmed when I saw the weight-scale needle go to a place it's never been in my entire life and so something needed to be done.

...'I don't have a problem not eating a lot, sometime it can get extreme which is also not good'...

No fizzy drinks, no cakes, no biscuits, and less than 1400 calories a day will do the trick. myfitnesspal I know will work over some time if I keep at it, and 10 days later I'm rigorously entering every item of food and drink.

8 years ago I lost half a stone this way and I can do it again if I am committed. Running would help except my calf keeps going after around 1k resulting in a limping @slobberchops for a week.

I had it massaged just a week ago, and it hurt like fuck. I will have another go at running this weekend, and hope @bingbabe doesn’t drag me along with a rope because I’m going too slow.

Scams

In more recent times the scammers seem to have returned with a vengeance. Who is getting emails daily about, 'we need you to reset your details', from Amazon, Apple, some bank that you are not banking with, and especially PayPal?

The latter company has an email you can forward these too, and I ritually send my daily phishing attempt to [email protected] and at first, they responded giving me thanks and praises.

Now, they don’t bother after I’m guessing being bombarded with these forwarded very poor attempts at getting my PayPal password.

...**'one of the more recent extra bad ones! The use of which vehicle.. Got a plate number?.. and why £26.48. Was this figure pulled out of a hat?'*...

Besides this, I have stopped answering my landline as I can guarantee it's some twat trying to sell me something or extract information of some kind.

The mobile phone isn’t much better, a recent one being an automated message from ‘HM Revenue and Customs’ threatening me that if I don’t call this number I will be in serious trouble.

Give me a fucking break and piss off all of you scammers.

HIVE Woe’s

HIVE has been behaving poorly in the fallout of the last HF and the token value is now in the 13c region.

Is this because a week later things have not been sorted out or something else? I noted with dismay STEEM is doing slightly better in terms of everything except comments according to this post.

...**'I get a lot more than 1 comment per post, this needs fixing'*...

If nothing else they have a more stable platform as no development is going on there. Other than that I don't look these days as I don't understand Mandarin or Korean.

I would like to see my posts having comments again. It seems every post has ONE comment and no more, and this is not just peakd.com.

...**'it works on https://leofinance.io/, so why is it bust on the other dapps?'*...

The LEO interface has managed to fix this, so why can’t peakd.com and hive.blog do the same?
