FYI I know its not easy to keep track of other cultures holidays. So just a remind in 2 days Ramadan is coming up. So if you have any Islamic friends dont forget to wish them a wonderful Ramadan (this is a rather important holiday for them) on Tuesday.

If I recall correctly Ramadan is one of the holidays they fast on, so it might be especially appreciated if offer them a nice home baked snack or meal in the day leading up to it as a nice gesture (I dont think this is a typical "gift" for the holiday I dont really know, but just seems like a thoughtful way to go).

If any Muslim friends would like to help steer me to good ideas on this one feel free to leave your thoughts int he comments.

This would actually make a great story idea... basically the self-fulfilling prophecy time travel trope combined with the no matter what you do you cant change history time travel trope.

Hitler in the story would start out as a "good guy", kind, compassionate, loves people of all races, just wants to pain. But time and time again time travelers keep going back trying to kill him, always targeting him before he has body guards or power. Hitler doesn't know their time travelers of course. But every murder attempt inevitably fails (because it cant change history) and slowly changes Hitler into an evil person who hates humanity as an emotional response to each attempt on his life. So that the very act of time travelers trying to kill him is eventually what creates the monster Hitler turned out to be after all.

I fear though it might piss off way too many people, especially if it paints Hitler as a good guy in his youth as any representation of him as anything other than evil might be seen as being a pro-Hitler thing (even though I wouldn't see it that way since the novel would still portray him as evil int he end).

I'm kinda surprised my biggest payoff this month has been XRP in terms of percentages... I only have 5% of my crypto invested in it yet its increased by 50% and thus out of all miy gains got me more gains (in dollars) than ethereum . By comparison i have 28% of my crypto in ethereum (not counting tokens) and it raised by only 1.7% in that same time

Self assembling "wires".. sooooo cool

So apparently Prince Phillip died.. whats this the second time for him, or third?

**Interesting fact of the day**: While Native Americans never developed the metallurgical knowledge to create steel and iron themselves they did in fact have steel and iron tools long before contact with Europeans.

What happened was drift iron, from asian ship wrecks, due to the current, would often wash ashore along the American north wast. This would take the form of nails or other iron pieces embedded in wood (thus being capable of floating. Native Americans had no idea where this iron was coming from or how it was made, but they did recognize its superior quality as a metal compared to the sorts of metals they typically had access to. As such the Native Americans in the north west would typically harvest this iron and forge it into tools.

To me this is just so extraordinary because they had no contact with outside peoples at this point and had no idea anyone existing out there across the ocean. Yet they kept finding this odd metal they had never seen and must have known it wasnt natural as it was shaped into a nail or a winch or something. So I can only imagine the fantasies they came up with about where it was really coming from, especially considering that it was far stronger and could be made far sharper than any metal they had ever seen. It must have seen magickal to them.

Ya know, the credit score system in america, while a good idea in principle, is really setup in such a stupid way.

One thing that really bugs me is one of the factors that effects your credit score is the age of your oldest account and the average age of your accounts. In other words if you cancel your oldest credit card, assuming thats your oldest account, your credit score will go down.

So for me my oldest account is 20 years old and its a really shitty secured credit card I got when I was building my credit. I had to pay 300$ to secure it (which i get back if I cancel) and it has only a 300$ limit, so it is useless to me. Moreover I have to pay 7$ every month to keep it. Worse yet the interest rate if i Put anything on it is insane. In every way its a bad investment and I should cancel it. But if I do that my credit will take a hit. So here I am forced to make a bad financial decision just to keep my credit score maxed out.... so fucking stupid.

Man the crypto markets have been killing it for 3 months straight, nothing but up up up.. I made 3% on my investment overnight.

I feel like with the recent addition of crypto pay to paypal, plus Starbucks taking cryptocurrency and a few other major retailers this trends isnt going to change, if anything it is going to accelerate.

I really feel like we are on the verge of crypto breaking out to mainstream and seeing it as a payment method everywhere in the next year... Now is absolutely the time to start investing in crypto.
