RE: Introducing Today's Special
After writing a huge history of the HIVE/STEEM fork, my laptop's mouse touch pad just deleted it all. It sometimes does that when my palm passes over the touchpad, just right, while open and flat. It generally highlights the text in the editor and then deletes it during the pass of the palm. One tries to see the lesson in such frustrations in life.
Perhaps its tone was too emotional.
Let us just say that the fork was about power and control with both those now behind STEEM, as well as those acting as the driving force behind HIVE. There are no great software differences between the two networks at the moment. Just a lot of code that performed administrative duties of deleting and transfering STEEM/HIVE tokens. It became child like when the HIVE powers that shouldn't be did not airdrop the tokens of a whale account of the Korean Community because they tried to defuse the situation by using their balance of voting power to vote in 10 witnesses of Justin Sun and 10 of the former top 20 witnesses who are affectionately called The V.22.2 Cabal by me. Mr. Sun has since frozen the accounts of The V.22.2 Cabal so that they cannot get their STEEM off the blockchain to exchange it for HIVE.
There is a digital gun fight in DPoS at the moment. Tokens are flying everywhere!
Currently my accounts on both STEEM and HIVE are in the process of powering down. As HIVE tokens become available they are being traded for Manero (XMR). Waiting to see if Mr. Sun comes through with his talk of atomic swaps coming to STEEM before unloading my STEEM.

About half way through...
My reaction so far:
That is rather funny as that was also my impression halfway in. :-)
I forgot: for a while now, it is not possible for me to heat up the Café aux Lait, or as they say here Café con Leche, without having it boil over. And it only started a few month ago. I mix the café with the milk and the pot back onto the burner. Then, I will always "just look at that, or do this real quick" only to return to a boiling-over mixture that is smoldering on the hot burner. Quite inconvenient and I have decided to make a sign for the stove that reads: "Never leave the ****ing stove unattended! - Your Sub-Conscience."
Think that would be a handy sign! 😜
This is the first one I made. 1989. Still like new. It is not printed, but a sign with individual letters. Amazing after all these years. I can't do it again here, as the required materials are not to come by easily and I do not have a plotter any longer. A few of these original signs are still hanging around in Germany. One of them was even used without permission by a former friend of mine who made postcards from it. It stated in German: "Please act here as if there was nothing!" It is prominently displayed in the kitchen of another friend that would never do stuff like that. "Bitte hier so tun als ob nichts wäre!" Above the kitchen sink...
I should be able to come up with something here, too. You are on the list for the stove reminder. :-)
