Before you disregard this idea, read my thesis.

Theme
Vitalik's huge dong + Dog coin
(Unique and hilarious + Proven meme)
Vitalik with a huge dong is the ultimate power symbol. Vitalik created programmable money so he's a giga nerd = Star Trek captured. He is a billionaire so business and money chasers = captured. He's a humanitarian so granola and WEF = captured. He's autistic so Rainman enthusiasts = captured. Lastly, and most importantly, his giant trouser snake makes him the ultimate Chad. All other crypto bros are beta. Vitalik has it all. Add the fact that Dog coins are the only memes that have cracked the top 10 in market cap and there’s no need to say more.
​
The Team and origin story
A group of previous collaborators in the crypto space that include a full stack dev, two professional marketing consultants and a VC decided in the summer of 2022 that the ultimate MEMEcoin should be created. It wasn’t until a picture circulated around Twitter depicting Vitalik Buterin with a huge bulge in his pants did the inspiration for the theme arrive. VBONE was born!
​
Token function
VBONE is a DEFLATIONARY reward token. VBONE has no buy tax and a 10% sell tax. All of the sell tax is reflected as VBONE back to all VBONE holder wallets. This process happens automatically inside of your wallet. You never have to claim these rewards. This tax is also reflected to a burn wallet that contains 42% of the VBONE supply. Note that they also sent Vitalik.eth 0.69696969% of the total supply. These burned tokens can never be retrieved so all reflected tokens there are permanently lost. This means that the total VBONE supply decreases over time making VBONE deflationary. Thus, VBONE is a deflationary reward token that grows right in your own pocket. Of course, just as importantly, VBONE is all about Vitalik’s huge Johnson rod.
​
Network
Ethereum fees are unsustainable. At $5 to send an erc20 token and $50 to trade on a dex, Ethereum is unusable for most people looking to enter a coin. The next bullrun will result in $80 erc20 transfer costs and $1000 to swap on a dex. VBONE is on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) which is cheap and fast. It's easy to onboard as evidenced by this being the second largest layer 1 blockchain. BSC coins, including memecoins like Baby Doge, pumped in 2021 as Ethereum became prohibitively expensive. I expect an even stronger trend in the next bull market. VBONE is also bridging to Shiba Inu's new layer 1 blockchain (Shibarium). This is a smart play to access a hyped event and a well-aligned, very large (1.3M+) community of potential VBONE holders.
​
SAFU?
The VBONE smart contract is public and certified on BSC scan. The code is audited by a leading audit company (Tech Audit). In addition, the admin keys are burned/ownership of the smart contract is renounced so the contract can never be changed. VBONE was launched on a Pinksale fair launch so that anyone could join and contribute. The Lp was locked by Pinksale automatically for 274 years at the end of the fair launch. The team also locked all team tokens on Unicrypt according to a vesting schedule (3,6,9,12 months). Importantly, the team also hired 24/7 telegram mods on day 1.
​
Marketing
VBONE has the best website (vbone.io) that I've ever seen. This includes non-crypto. This should give you confidence in their competency since they have such weight to the most publicly facing aspect of VBONE. The memes are also the best and most numerous I've ever seen. They serve as fuel for engagement within the community and as tools for recruitment for members outside of the community. Efforts have involved sponsored tweets from large influencer accounts (250k-700k followers), 4chan/biz banner ads, ads on Telegram Raid bot posts, shill contests but the master stroke thus far has been a Binance Live AMA hosted by Cryptotrails (90k+ TikTok followers). A Binance Live AMA hosted by a large influencer on the Binance app itself is typically something that is only observed for hyped projects with large raises. This shows that this team is CONNECTED with major players and will swing for the fences. VBONE marketing is financed from two sources: initial marketing funds raised during the Pinksale fair launch as well as the ecosystem wallet that receives sell reflection tax like all wallets do and thus will grow. Additionally, VBONE has the most polished, aesthetic and professional whitepaper that I've read in a long time.
​
Roadmap
There is no formal roadmap. However, the team regularly gives updates ongoing activities in their Telegram group and Tweets from the official VBONE twitter account daily. The team says that this is a marketing project and that marketing opportunities are fluid and change enough to preclude a strict format. The team has shown that they are spending big resources to attract KOLs and super active accounts from other projects. These valuable members are seeds for recruiting dozens of new members and accelerating the network effects of growth. The team is also reaching out to other projects to collaborate or barter in order to gain access to value outside of the VBONE team’s own expertise. One such example is their recent partnership with noiseGPT. They reached out to noiseGPT to seek their assistance in creating a custom celebrity AI-generated voice for their meme needs (guess who?). Subsequently, the VBONE team has also hinted at another partnership. These partnerships are real boons to expanding VBONE’s influence and community beyond what they can accomplish alone. How do you attract the eyes of your target audience? This is crypto so give out your coin as a marketing device. That’s why the VBONE team is setting up a claim drop for Shib holders. Don’t worry if you hold VBONE, the total claim is only for 0.1% (100B) of the VBONE supply.

I had 10/10 pain last Monday and had my husband take me to the ER. I had taken a break from trying to find a doctor to take me seriously for the past 12 months-during that time my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer that had spread to her liver, and my father had to be put in a care home for Parkinson’s related dementia.
The pain has been getting worse so I was psyching myself up to start again. The ER doctor was amazing, he ordered a CT scan and ultrasound along with blood work. I had the CT the next day, along with the results.
I took last week off work-between the exhaustion from the pain, and scheduling the tests-I just couldn’t get myself to face work (I work entirely from home, so I am not 100% sure why I was so reluctant).
I read over the scan results, and it was recommended that I have a colonoscopy due to the possibility of lesions (it was noted that I was constipated and while that could have been what they saw, with my symptoms lesions were also possible).
Combine that with majority of endometriosis symptoms being identical to ovarian cancer, and I am freaking out. I don’t want to vent to my husband-his brother in law is dying from bowel cancer which will leave his youngest sister a widow with 3 children (one of which is a newborn).
I don’t feel like I have room in my head for work right now-although a distraction would likely be helpful. I took stress leave in November as my mother was expected to die within days (She is still here). I have also been looking for another job due to some recent changes that I’m not happy with-but I don’t want to quit until I have an offer.
I want to sit and wallow in a corner, but I have been doing that for the past week. I am fairly certain I could get my doctor to sign off on medical leave-but November wasn’t really that long ago. And I am physically able to work-I don’t even have to get dressed. As I am wanting to leave my job anyway-I kinda want to take what I can before I leave as I have been there for 9 years. But in the event it takes time to secure another job-I don’t want to ruin anything.
I know this post isn’t asking any questions, or asking for advice-but I really can’t vocalize this to anyone else right now as it is really just speculation.

In contract for a new build condo $395K price planning to put down 10%. Lender is pushing me to lock. I was offered 7.65% for 0.6 points on Friday.
Should I lock or should I risk it and wait?
Other info: Credit score 782 I’m a first time home buyer Condo is estimated to be completed in 3 weeks.

I am trying to sync a blockchain but now I am getting those errors. What is wrong? It was doing syncing without any errors.

I’m looking for a shortcut that’ll allow me to double tap on the right side of the screen to skip 10 seconds instead of 15 seconds.

So I’ve noticed that our 2 goldfish are growing faster than expected. We got both of them at around 0.5 inches, they are over an inch now. We also have a super red bristlenose pleco in the tank. Around next march or so (when our lease runs out) I want to move to a more pet friendly apartment. Our apartment wants us to downsize from 20 gallons to 10?!
Once we’re in a new apartment I want to upgrade to a 40-65 gallon. (The one I’m looking at says that they will just charge a fee if the tank is over 40 gallons, compared to our current trying to enforce 10 gallons max) By that time the goldfish and the pleco will definitely be used to each other, so should we move them together? If we do that I may turn the 20 gallon into a small saltwater tank, otherwise, we may find some others to put with the pleco. I think it may be best to lbs all 3 together since they’ll be used to each other, but I’m really new to this, any help is appreciated!

We’ve been together about 10 months known eachother since highschool when I first approached her but nothing happen then I ended up on a long term relationship(that don’t matter though) well recently my gf has done some shady stuff that idk if I’m in the wrong for being upset about May two four weekend she went and spent it with her friends then asked me to pick her up at 5am which I agreed to but when I picked her up she was only with another guy no one else then he proceeded to hug her bye which I was like wtf you don’t let girls hug me,then leading to other holidays she’s never actually spent it with me only Christmas Eve and Christmas Day cause our little one(my stepson) she also told me a week ago she “wants to spend holidays with the people she loves and cares for” well I haven’t had a holiday with her since Christmas.. the shady part is her being with only another guy after she’s made it clear I’m not aloud to be with just a girl (guys and girls that’s fine but just girls no)
Now the sneaking part that I’m worried about is her phone she is always on her phone when she’s around me she’s constantly talking to people I’ve seen a few times there was guys I already had issues with in the past and so I asked for them to be deleted she did at first then I found them re added 2 weeks later without my knowledge because I went to go send my self money and noticed a dick pic.. the only social media I have is honestly Reddit I don’t talk to other females I don’t even go hangout with friends cause I’m working min 55 hours a week plus Saturdays when I have to cause she’s not working currently.. part of me feels right about being upset with her about so much but part of me feels wrong for it, last 10 months I’ve stepped up and fathered her son which has been my biggest life accomplishment but I don’t want to keep hurting myself if she’s gonna act shady Is she acting shady?

I give up. Just ranting here.
Purchased an RG35XX a few months ago and it was DOA. Battery could not charge and after a few months of back and forth with Anbernic, I’m pretty sure I’m not going to get it fixed. I’m not a tinkerer by any means and kind of just wanted to play games (kind of the whole idea right?).
I gave up on the 35XX after Anbernic basically told me to buy a solder and get inside the device. Purchased a RP3Flip and it was ‘delivered’ 15 days ago. This was after it spent an additional 10 days sitting at the receiving location. Retroid telling me to wait it out and the customer service for 4PX seems non existent. Not blaming Retroid at all, it’s not their fault on the shipping.
After countless emails, checking shipment details, opening up my device not knowing what the fuck I’m looking at, I’m just pissed off that I’m nearly $300 in the hole and have shit to show for it. Just a useless hunk of a 35XX and an email telling me my package arrived half a month ago.
The main point is, I just want to play some fucking games-that’s all. I could’ve shelled out another $100 and just had a steam deck at this point. Financially I can’t put any more money into this, because how stupid would I be to get fucked again? I’m frustrated with this shitty back and forth and I’m at my wits end with this whole thing.

I’m just now getting back into selling mtg on eBay, been like 10 years. The EBay standard mailers are great and make cards under $20 easy. I’m trying to figure out the best ways to send cards over $20 tho. It seems like cards from $20-70ish are best just sent with a stamp, and cards over $70-$100 should be sent with tracking. What I don’t understand is why would you send via $5ish USPS first class? Because that’s not tracked or insured right? It’s just a little faster than a stamp on envelope (from what I understand). So do people do either just a stamp for cards over $20 and then tracked shipping (around $8-$10 shipping it seems) for expensive cards around $100 or more. Any help would be great, thanks!

I’m a bit salty if you cant tell. I put a lot of time and effort… and money into this game and the past 6 months have just felt like I keep getting kicked when I’m down. I was in NYC all day yesterday raiding and that was great. No shiny or three star after 10 raids but hey I was happy with maxed out lobbies. Come back to where I live today rural area and there are some raids but I can’t do any of them. Besides that I have myself pondering what kind of a flex is a shiny shadow with a useless attack… I’m very close to just deleting the game and moving on with my life. I feel like I’m just wasting time and money on something that feels as though the men behind the curtains are pulling it farther away.

I’m still getting one hit killed by random non-boss enemies with 15 hearts? Then when I do kill them and pick their weapon up and it’s so weak I have to hit an enemy 7-10 times to kill them. How weak did they make link in this game? Save the “did you upgrade your armor” comments because that’s no excuse for how poor the combat is in this game. I need different armors for different parts of the game and I’m not wasting time upgrading all the armor sets. This is Zelda not dark souls. What’s the point of even adding hearts if so many enemies one shot kill regardless of heart count? Oh, and are the weapons more fragile than the last game? That was a cool mechanic in the last game that’s just tedious in this one.

I’m glad I found this forum, I’ve been playing for awhile and have some questions. 1. Is it possible to go from level 41 to 80 in 10 days without spending a ton of money? 2. I read a post that made it sound like you can move your buildings on the map? If you can, how do you do that?

Every time my partner (31m) and I (30f) get into a disagreement he does the same things over and over. He completely disregards my feelings (saying things like “oh here we go again” and “it’s not a big deal, you’re being dramatic”), then will pick apart any given statement and get mad about one thing I said and ignore the rest. Like if I tell him he makes me feel like my emotions are invalid and he doesn’t care about them, he will get mad because it sounds like I’m saying I don’t think he cares about me.
If I’m crying he gets upset and this has been going on for years. I’m just tired and worn out. I feel like I’m not allowed to feel things. It came to a head yesterday when I was begging him to not outright ignore me after a disagreement we had hours before. After a while he cuts me off and says “just stop, just stop, just stop” repeatedly until I realize nothing I can say or do will get him to understand how important this is to me.
We have been together for almost 10 years and I’m worried this is the way it will be forever. He’s always had a bit of a hard time with communication but this is getting to the point where I feel like I’m completely alone here. What do I do?!
Tl;dr: my husband completely refuses to communicate after disagreements no matter how big or small. It’s impacting my mental health.
