Oddly, the fact that I took typing in high school had an immense impact on my life. My aunt gave me a Royal typewriter she never used, so I practiced the hell outa asdfgf;lkjhj <-- Home row.

I got an A in the typing class, while at the same time I wrote my first short story and turned it in to my English teacher. He liked it, and he somehow got it printed in the New York Journal American newspaper.

I got an A in his class, too. All because of the gifted typewriter.

And one of my novels, (*sob*) was gonna be a two-part miniseries.
Its been said Chuck Norris can send a email with a typewriter.

Wow. Just found a picture in my mixed up file that is really interesting. Want to see a neighborhood on Long Island that has not changed since the local injuns attacked it?

Another rainy day here starting at 40F and predicted to reach 47F.

Yet another day of friendly wet dogs and debauchery! There is absolutely nothing friendlier than a wet dog!

Staking cryptocurrency is the process of locking up your digital assets in a specific wallet to support the operations of a blockchain network, particularly those that use a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

In return for staking, participants earn rewards in the form of additional cryptocurrency, similar to earning interest on a bank deposit.

and another…

Like a lot of things in crypto, staking can be a complicated idea or a simple one depending on how many levels of understanding you want to unlock. For a lot of crypto users, knowing that staking is a way of earning rewards while holding onto certain cryptocurrencies is the key takeaway.

But even if you’re just looking to earn some staking rewards, it’s useful to understand at least a little bit about how and why it works the way it does.

How does staking work?​

If a cryptocurrency you own allows staking — current options include Ethereum, Tezos, Cosmos, Solana, Cardano and others — you can “stake” some of your holdings and earn a reward over time.

The reason your crypto earns rewards while staked is because the blockchain puts it to work.

Cryptocurrencies that allow staking use a “consensus mechanism” called Proof of Stake, which is the way they ensure that all transactions are verified and secured without a bank or payment processor in the middle.

Your crypto, if you choose to stake it, becomes part of that process.

a man should consider himself blessed if he has such a loyal companion...yeah, he's a bit mouthy but I'd rather that than a sedate who cares type of dog...
German Shepherds are working dogs and take their jobs seriously, which includes being mouthy at interlopers on the verge of treading on hallowed ground, and actually biting them if they persist, besides being loving and loyal to pack members, in the 45 years that I've been living with one, no one has ever burglarized our house either.
