Dammit Bob!  Post something really gay please...  quick!

Shit. Gimme a minute... Damnit.

EDIT: Here, wierdo.

FTFY   (hey Bob, love ya man,  (no homo) but no dirty pics on the wob....)

[Hueristic]

Wow. Thanks for the heads up Homer.

I was a little hesitant to post that picture but I'm glad I did. I was wondering why it was so cheap considering its hard to get a house in Toronto for less than a million or a decent cottage that close to the city for less than a couple million.

It might not necessarily be a problem. I spent 25 years using a trailer on 50 acres of rented maple sugar bush in Oro as my country getaway.

I eventually had 3 trailers and a wolmanized, galvanized outhouse/generator shed with the complete blessings of the municipality. All the trailers were on a high bank overlooking a fairly substantial creek with waterfall. All they cared about was that everything was "portable" with no foundations and that no one was living there full time. When the land owner gave them my address in the city, that was that.

My only real problem was security. I considered converting an intermodal shipping container into a "mobile" home by torching in Lexan MR-10 windows and setting it on railway ties. Unfortunately the owner died and the estate sold the property.

As you can see by this picture, the present owner of this lakefront spread seems to have a trailer there already:



Being in an Environmental Protection One zone would actually be good for me as I prefer a natural undisturbed environment.

I'd like to be able to bring in hydro though. Maybe they'd let me use a trencher to bury a cable. Maintaining and fueling a generator is a hassle. I'd love to relegate my Honda to backup duty.

I obviously have lots of research to do.

Thanks again.

Shipping container?

Cool.

Years ago for security reasons I considered making a quadrangle out of one 32' and three 40' containers with an 8' wide door to the courtyard in the middle for the safe storage of snowmobiles, etc. The door would be a roll-down steel security door like what they use for jewelry or electronics stores in bad neighborhoods. The containers themselves are fairly secure. They're frequently left unattended on waterfronts with millions of dollars in merchandise in them.

I considered second and even third stories but that would entail some kind foundation. Now that we have winter homes in Mexico, all we really need is a secure 40' steel pied-a-terre cabin in the forest by the lake as a summer getaway.

Thanks for the link. It took me back to those days when I was checking out various designs. At the time I could get 40' containers delivered for $2800CAD.

Lulz. Followed.

This thread has been pretty fun to follow lately. https://twitter.com/ZeitgeistFilm/status/1339826312588918784 Dude is getting dunked on pretty hard for just not getting Bitcoin. I think the "Have fun staying poor" meme really got under his skin badly.

I thought Bob rotated the Bitcoin symbol artfully enough. Heh.

My cat is not gay, he has a beautiful partner and 5 children. #nohomo
Every time I enter the thread, Bitcoin is 2,000 dollars higher, at this rate I will have to sell the cat to buy Bitcoin.

Surely, your situation does not seem enviable, VB.

These kinds of BTC price runs are when peeps need to be in.. and largely we have hardly had any meaningful or material price corrections from early September starting at about $10k... .. but of course, many of us who had been in BTC since the downturn in 2018 had a lot of opportunities to stack up on corn well into the sub $10k arena for quite a long time.. and there were even quite a few bearish members who were suggesting that $10k was quite a ways into the future (which really does not seem so far in the future when we look back at our various BTC buying opportunities over the past 3 years).

Surely, your situation does not seem enviable, VB.

Its not that easy, he would have to request compensation equivalent to the price of bitcoin on January 1 2021 for the fiat loaned, but that is impossible..., at the moment I only have the agreement for the money to be returned at the end of this month, we are on the dec-20 and the bag is empty.
(I will have to start with a less aggressive but constant strategy, in case I can take advantage of some lower prices.)

Thx for reminding me how dumb I am.

Talking about all ahead one third, have you heard that Elwars cruise ship Satoshi is getting scrapped?
They couldn't get insurance.

Elwar is a likable guy, but I've never understood his obsession with seasteading. I guess that, when you become super-rich, something screws up in your head and you become obsessed with pointless, impossible tasks. Risto Pietila comes to mind. It's sad, really.

Trying to go against nature is a futile, pointless task, as is trying to go against the establishment without a feasible plan. Taking the law on your hands and setting up a seastead in the middle of the ocean is madness and delusion combined.

IMHO.

What's worse is having the chance to do something extraordinary but being too afraid to take it.

Sad news really. You still need the insurance if the vessel doesn't move? Perhaps some RE insurance could apply? I'm sure there should be some way around this...

What's even worse than that, is being able to do wonderful and meaningful things, but wasting your time and wealth pursuing pointless tasks. Risto Pietila's story is a good example.

He never heard of Bitcoin??

There's a point in that. In order to succeed you need to solve some real world problem not invent your own. On the other hand, some really innovative revolutionary ideas have been overlooked (including Bitcoin btw). Many bright pioneer inventors were considered to be crazy etc.

Does this count as 'Lost it all in a boating accident'?
