I hate being flooded. Sorry you had to see that. It's always ugly.
Back pain isn't better tho. I'd rather be flooded, and I am sure you would too. I really hope you negotiate that process impeccably, and that your neurosurgeon is inspired as well.
I am happy that Hive has a face to the world as beautiful as yours, with the light shining out on folks fortunate to bask in it. It sounds like you're doing your very best to shine that light everywhere and how you can do so as cost effectively and productively as you can. From what I know of you, that's bound to be very effective at generating the most important and essential potentials for Hive as can be.
Particularly the work you've done to get on ramps and routes to and from Hive must be extremely challenging in the constricting environment many (especially N. American) governments impose. Any achievement in that arena must be exhausting.
Thanks!
This is my first time at the flood rodeo! Not my favourite, admittedly, lol. We had a very cold (for Vancouver) winter, and I had a pipe burst while I was at work. I caight it before too too severe damage, but because it was upstairs, I lost a lot of my ceiling and walls, and some of my flooring. I've been slowly picking at the repairs over the year, and so far, so good, but I'm definitely tired and it was definitely demoralizing.
You're spot on with the NA hurdles, that's for sure. Getting North American big deals really hinges on having a culpable legal entity in ownership in charge of the ecosystem, ORRRR pay a few hundred thousand dollars plus as a ransom to get your foot in the door, and still offer up a fully doxxed fall guy. Tricky, but not insurmountable, slowly but surely. Hopefully these legal opinions will help us stay as resilient as we have been in the face of the tightening 'standards' the world has been facing.
Sending love and greetings your way! 🖤
