On purple paint, I haven't looked it up but have unofficially heard that it may need to be 12 inches, top to bottom to be legal. I've seen a lot of guys just throw an old tyre over a fencepost, and paint that.

For our ranch, the pipe posts every 100 ft were entirely painted purple from top to bottom.

Big, tall, girthy, permanent, tornado-resistant, heavy metal pipes, dipped in purple paint; top-to-bottom.

Is that not a problem?  According to an earlier post (no pun intended!) the purple paint must be “placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than 3 feet from the ground or more than 5 feet from the ground.“ so if it goes right down to the ground it's not compliant.

Probably not serious, but you wouldn't want an issue on a technicality.

Really stands out nicely against the natural greens and browns in that area.

Can't miss it!

Much more efficient than "No Trespassing" signs that tend to be shot at by passing-by drivers, or end up in need of repair/replacement at some point.

Purple, thick metal posts will outlive us both, for when the nieces and nephews inherit the place.

The saying out here, I've discovered, is roughly "Once the fences go up, all the problems tend to just go away"

People get a bit strange when multi-generational structures get torn down and renewed.

Fuck me for building them a new fence, right?

*shurg*

EDIT: Example drone shots from the ranch border showing how the purple pipes are laid out.

You should have used rusty pipes instead man! Looks much more scary!

In Texas fence building can be a SUPER LUCRATIVE business as far as I can tell.

I recorded albums for a Texas Country artist years back who does a LOT of house parties (post covid this was one of the only remaining income streams for musicians for a while).  This is great money for your top notch singer/songwriter type.  On rare occasion he has had me sub in for his regular drummer and once we played at a house in the "Highland Park" area of Dallas.  The owner was a man who continued his fathers business of fence building.  They did not do a lot of work in the Dallas city area, where fences are a different kind of business.  Most of their clients were ranch owners like you.  Most of the fences he built were measured in hundreds of yards (if not miles) rather than feet.

So the dude owned a construction business basically... a rather simple one really.  He did all the kinds... post and tensile wire like you show (looks like), or even metal crossbar fences or masonry.  Even the simplest construction possible will add up to an expensive project quickly because the the scale of these projects. He was LOADED.  Fence building is great business evidently!  Definitely more money to be made than playing drums...

OK. This is interesting.

I did a quick calculation:

Going backwards from the last block, 1,808,390 blocks are needed to make 1 BTC (1.0000022 BTC to be exact).

1,808,390 / 6 (blocks per hour) / 24 (hours per day) / 365.25 (days per year) = 34.4 years (approx.) to mine the last BTC.

I could be wrong in my calculation above, but 34.4 years is still a very long time!

tl;dr: HoDL your corn, it will soon be the rarest monetary unit in the universe!

End of year/beginning of new year prediction:

Some well-known entity or person is going to announce a sizeable bitcoin acquisition. It could be Elon Musk (again), Jack, M. Saylor, Ark Invest, or some other notable person or company we haven't heard about yet.

It'll either happen right before 2021 ends, or shortly after 2022 begins.

Just leaving this here for the funzies.

I think he's fine. The regs are mostly about making sure that the paint is able to be seen, i.e., at roughly chest height to eye level, no high bushes or other obstructions, etc. That's because most trespassers will try to claim that they didn't or couldn't see the paint. I think his painted posts are fairly obvious, would definitely hold up in court.

About these purple "no trespassing" markings, can't this be used by someone to get away with murder? You drag someone inside the fence, you shoot him dead, and then claim he was trespassing and did not respond to verbal warnings and warning shots. How would the authorities in the relevant USA territories deal with this?

In contrast to the above, in many (most?) countries in the world, you will be put to prison if you shoot a burglar when he is inside your house, even if you legally carry a weapon. Even more surprising is the fact that, in the UK, police officers are not normally allowed to carry firearms (IIRC -- UK WOers, please confirm if that's the case).

I think somebody posted that this doesn't give you the right to shoot the intruder but you are allowed to use force to hold him and hand him over to LE.

In our country it's much worse, you may not touch the guy that is standing beside your bed with your money in his hands when you wake up. People here are joking that best you can do is offering him a sandwich and a coffee while he awaits with you the arrival of LE. Though they sometimes have unfortunate accidents on stairs while they wait with you for the coppers...

My doc once told me to use 50-100cm of very thick electric cables (like the ones that run into a house) instead of a baseball bat. He said the bat slips down the bone and doesn't crack it, while the installation cable winds around bones and makes sure they crack nicely (also seems to hurt a bit more). Trusting my doc on this and got myself some fat cables from my electrician friend

I would definitely throw out Saylor and MicroStrategy, as they buy periodically and mostly below 5000 BTC. Also Jack Dorsey is no longer a Twitter CEO and I don’t see that there could be anything there. Mr.Mars is always an enigma, but he is currently focused on shitcoins, and it would also be strange to invest in BTC, while at the same time expressing concern about how Bitcoin mining is extremely harmful to the planet. Ark, however, is a company that has a focus on some other things, when it comes to Bitcoin, they are mostly focused on ETF - futures based.

Pf to think we used to toy with 10k Bitcoins in a Game then some old tards decide to crash it so they can hop in the train ... oh the Idiocracy of this world :S

tl;dr: Posts painted entirely purple are more than is required.

Texas Penal Code § 30.05. Criminal Trespass

Sec 2 (D) the placement of identifying purple paint marks on trees or posts on the property, provided that the marks are:

(i) vertical lines of not less than eight inches in length and not less than one inch in width;

(ii) placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than three feet from the ground or more than five feet from the ground;  and

(iii) placed at locations that are readily visible to any person approaching the property and no more than:

(a) 100 feet apart on forest land;  or

(b) 1,000 feet apart on land other than forest land;  or

(E) the visible presence on the property of a crop grown for human consumption that is under cultivation, in the process of being harvested, or marketable if harvested at the time of entry.

Somehow I got into the wrong movie today, I wanted actually to watch "Honeybadger goes to moon" but I ended up in some third class drama called "Bipolar clown pumps doggie meme shit".

Remind me again, when is the last Doge mined?
What, never? Huh, and people buy this crap at 20 cents. Makes you really wonder about the level of insanity in this world.

Oh, okay I see, it is because Doge is totally green et al while bitcoin is running on coal and diesel... makes sense.

Not sure. Maybe just because everyone does. So-called DogeArmy is so hyped Today
