(a) 100 feet apart on forest land;  or

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

Interesting law that Purple Paint Law. I'd expect laws like this to be relics from the 1800s, so it's surprising to read the latest implementation was just 10 years ago.
As a non-American hiker, I understand gates, wires and "no trespassing" signs. But until yesterday, I would not have guessed purple poles hundreds of meters apart mean "dare and we shoot"! Any other laws I need to know about if I ever visit Texas?

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.

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.

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?

I don't want to come across as overly-clever or anything, but cleaning up that biological evidence alone, after having committing a crime like that, is not likely to work out in your favor.

You have to admire Texas.  No messing or you get shot. That's Hardcore but at least you know where you stand

.... this seems quite clear that the mark needs to end 3 to 5 feet above the ground

.... a post painted all the way to the ground is just a purple post, not a purple-marked post

... at least it's an upgrade on a rusty old pipe

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.

* psycodad shakes head again in disbelief, starts drinking earlier than usual..

I have also come to see very clearly, that the younger generations have fallen into the trap of nickel-and-diming their life and fortunes away with throwing fiat at stupid meme coins, NFTs, silly Twitch subscriptions and gifting, gaming micro-transactions and pay-to-play scams, vaping and drugs, expensive daily coffees, expensive 'alt/green food products', subscribing not to just one streaming service but literally all of them including ones they never watch, clothing delivery subscriptions, food delivery subscriptions, fast food delivery services (with insane delivery fees), buying useless, valueless fad-driven baubles and trinkets on the regular, etc.

Literally hundreds of dollars a month exiting their bank accounts on pointless, really needless micro consumption. And then they want to constantly whine and complain about having no money.

But doge has descending inflation rate enforced while fiat does not.

ie

year  as it mines x a year

1                  x doge
2                2x doge          100%      inflation
3                3x doge            50%      inflation
4                4x doge            33%      inflation
5                5x doge            25%      inflation
6                6x doge            20%      inflation
7                7x doge            16.67% inflation
8                8x doge            14.28% inflation
9                9x doge            12.50%.   "
10             10x doge.           11.11%   "
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20              20x doge
21              21x doge          5%       inflation
22
23
24
25             25x doge
26             26x doge          4%       inflation
...

50             50x doge
51             51x doge         2%        inflation

100          100x doge
101          101x doge       1%        inflation in year 100


So as fucked up and shitty as Doge is it is better than fiat as its inflation rate descends year after year. And it never runs out of coins to mine


BTC is built to be rare as fuck
I have 1300th mining it every day and only get 2.386735 coins a year of which 0.5966 is mine to keep.

I know this is a BTC area and I am not a big DOGE fan as a buyer or seller of it.

But it is still viable to mine and convert to cash and BTC

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.

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.

i figure using both purple marks on trees and posts, as well as standard no trespassing/hunting/trapping/etc signs that have my contact info is as about as unbeatable a notice as can be reasonably expected. for example i dont have full fencing around my boundaries but it would be awful hard to not see some warning no matter what direction you approach.

i know the company i bought a stack of metal no trespassing/hunting etc signs had hints on how to secure against vandals (who would rip them down if too easily secured) , weather and time in the pack. as someone mentioned already lots of bullet holes in signs around here. signs like that are practically bullet magnets heh

EDIT a lawyer told me to take a picture of the standardized no trespassing signs with my info on it and get a newspaper and hold it so its visible in the same pic.. i was like you mean like in hostage movies where they want a current newspaper with date visible? lol

So from a young people mindset, nothing has really changed. But what HAS changed is what and how the marketeers are selling to them.

For decades, consumers were marketed to on the basis of a homogeneous lifestyle: getting everyone on the same page in terms of what type of house, car, clothing, clubs, jewelry, trips, etc. constituted living in high style, class, and sophistication. These trends were all-encompassing, i.e., at any moment in time you were either part of the societal "in-club", or you weren't. Most people wanted to be in it, as there were benefits.

Now things have splintered all over the internet, and people can easily find their siloed, circle-jerking little havens for whatever stupid thing they are into...however banal, valueless, and classless it may be. So the elites have given up. Marketeers are no longer attempting to bring societies together under universal fads or notions of societal trends and ideas of classy norms. They are instead marketing directly to these splintered sub groups by collecting their individual data. "That silly thing, service, or over-indulgence you want that nobody else around you cares about except for your little circle of internet friends? Here it is, and we're here to help you get more of it."

Some people might see this as a good thing, like some sort of liberty from societal expectations and gatekeeping. But I believe that its why young people are so confused now. On the internet they have access to every stupid, fad-driven thing or indulgence they believe that they want in life, but no longer have any societal cues, guides or signposts to show them the way to live a happy, fulfilled, classy, sophisticated lifestyle. They are completely rudderless. And their parents and grandparents have completely given up trying to guide them and have checked out.

AKA - The future is a world of depressed, broke hoarders who will live in shoe boxes and endlessly shop the internet for trinkets. Change my mind.

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

OMG I guess you're called psycodad for a reason...

Watching a show about crypto on TV (RTL-Z) right now. Someone actually compared gold to horses - they were seen as very valuable for 6000 years, then something better came along (the car) so now the population of horses has gone down 90%.

I totally agree with you, I mine it too and currently sell every block the same day I hit it. I still value a DOGE block below $100 personally, everything above I get is a *must sell* for me.
But it still deeply disturbs me when this crap goes up 20% while BTC goes sideways. There were times when hitting an LTC block gave you less in LTC (with much higher diff) than you got from the merged DOGE block you certainly popped too as the diff was always lower.

It just means we need some posterboy like Musk for BTC for the deserved appreciation.

And never mind, it is totally BTC-related as it is about how much corn one gets for dumping this shit on some hip millenials with obviously way too much money at their hands.
