He didn’t start free-soloing because he wanted to die. After his father’s death, risk stopped registering, and climbing without ropes became a quiet form of self-erasure.

Then he built a family, and the same thing that once looked like suicide became the discipline that kept him alive.

@RosaCor97236529 Thanks for liking my complaint against @CoachUSABus as I attempt to get myself back from the holidays without being overcharged 🤣
I'm engaged in some cross-border/cross-cultural ventures myself (including fashion!) What are you up to?

[Ken Chester @kenchester2]

@CoachUSABus There was a website error where I was double-charged (Order # a1b3e474-97be-4a3d-b99e-befde42b6b63) while attempting a one-way ticket purchase (Newark to New York, NY), however it gave me a round-trip trip ticket. The "New York, NY to Newark" leg should be refunded.

@cnnbrk Meanwhile China closed down part of its airspace in preparation to shoot down an unidentified object earlier today. Interesting times! https://t.co/ZBJF7dbHRC

Great to join everyone as part of the Summer 2022 cohort! Good things to come 🙌

At StableCoupons, we're all about shattering spoilage, storage, and supply ceilings in bulk purchasing. Now, as an @AntlerGlobal portfolio company, they've shattered our expectations about VC, walking alongside us and guiding us like no other! 🛒🚀 #BulktotheFuture

@elonmusk Congrats on bringing these new little ones into the world @elonmusk — but we can also prevent population crash by decreasing worldwide infant mortality & taking other actions to increase the odds that our children get to grow up.

Prepaid commerce has been going on for ages, but it's high past time to put it to work for the average consumer!

[BulkMagic @BulkMagic]

Everyone's heard of e-commerce, but StableCoupons would like to get more people thinking about "pre-commerce" (prepaid commerce) as a means for bringing down prices and creating healthier food ecosystems.

[Ken Chester @kenchester2]

Shop or sell with @StableCoupons, the best of both worlds!

[BulkMagic @BulkMagic]

We're not offline or online; we're e-commerce that gets you in the door. Not only do you save on shipping with StableCoupons, but you're getting even more savings than before, via our bulk e-voucher system!

The world changes day by day, yet bulk purchasing remains rooted in antiquated systems and processes. We believe that it's time to try something new. #BulktotheFuture

@elonmusk Perhaps — but only if the rotten planks on the Ship of Theseus were sourced from trees ancestral to those providing their replacements.

@trapvalue The virus is still doing its thing (which I found recently), gas prices are spiking even higher due to the Ukraine crisis, and yet somehow the answer is to roll back all climate legislation, drill in the Arctic, and screw over future generations just to get back into the office…

[BulkMagic @BulkMagic]

Well, if you're gonna hoard, you can up your game at StableCoupons... What's better than 1 box of 50 frozen mozzarella sticks? How about e-vouchers for 50 boxes of 50 mozzarella sticks (2,500 mozzy sticks!!😋) https://t.co/v2Ge4V4Dne

[Ken Chester @kenchester2]

@trapvalue @Yahoo Stimulating conversation, simulating ownership – it's just a one-letter difference...

[Ken Chester @kenchester2]

You can build free market price controls for yourself, via the bulk buying of perishables at @StableCoupons. Purchase 200🍌& get 200 e-vouchers rather than 200 physical🍌, for instance. Then directly exchange the🍌vouchers over time at participating grocers, inflation be darned.

We have a powerful weapon to fight inflation: price controls. It’s time we use it | Isabella Weber https://t.co/K7xJki2zRi

[Ken Chester @kenchester2]

@planetmoney I built @StableCoupons to contain prices in 2022 without the Fed, by enabling bulk buying of perishables. Purchase 200🍌& get 200 e-vouchers rather than 200 physical🍌, for instance. Then directly exchange the🍌vouchers over time at participating grocers, inflation be darned.

[Ken Chester @kenchester2]

@trapvalue @bluehost So, any updates @bluehost / @bluehostsupport? Still getting about half of my emails with massive delays...

[Ken Chester @kenchester2]

@trapvalue @bluehost It started about 2 weeks ago, when emails were delayed for 12 hours. Then again for the last few days, with delays of up to 6 hours or more this time. It's so widespread this time that even their customer service number has a voicemail saying "we have an email issue." 😆

[BulkMagic @BulkMagic]

Some of these items have a "spoilage ceiling" that prevents any substantive bulk buying (🥛,🥚). The other items have a "storage ceiling" of how much 🥓 can be shoved into a freezer or 🍭 into a cupboard. Our bulk voucher system lets you break through these ceilings with ease.

[Ken Chester @kenchester2]

While I don't expect turkey prices to rise quite this high, @StableCoupons already lets you lock in your prices on chicken, in case bouillon begins to look more like bullion: https://t.co/7MiPN559Ib

[JustMePam @PamelaApostolo1]

Inflation overload...

[Ken Chester @kenchester2]

Some people call for the return of the gold standard, while others buy up bitcoin. Yet what if you had bills backed by the "bread standard," the "butter standard," and so on? This is the promise that @StableCoupons is bringing forth into the world.

[Otavio (Tavi) Costa @TaviCosta]

Major breakout on agricultural commodities.

Food prices are poised to rise significantly from here.

This will likely become one of the primary drivers for inflation.
