DAO UPDATE & SUMMER “FUN”
By Ron Flogundy
Greetings Flovatar world and most importantly, Ron’s fans. I am back in range of some internet service for just enough time to ramble out an issue of the greatest publication in web3. So what have I been up to? Good question! Now, let’s get started.
The DAO has continued to work on things. A big vote went live where community members voiced their opinion on what to do with the Flow in the treasury. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of staking it as a way to raise some more. After the vote closed, the Flow was staked on Increment Fi. There will probably be some more votes in the future about how to manage the staking rounds and returns so be on the lookout for that.
The flobit submissions for the BBQ Backyard Burnt..blah blah (what’s with this group and aliteration?) are now closed. All of the great ideas have been organized and sorted. The DAO is diligently working on making some, or all, a reality. There will be more info on these coming soon. Personally, good ol’ Ron is excited for a few of these ideas. Especially that whiskey bar so I can stop hanging out with these hobos in the alley.
As for me, I have been trying to enjoy my summer. If enjoying meant outdoor weddings at the end of June, hiking in the middle of July, and being outside in general when it’s very hot and humid then I am having a blast! Alas, these things have brought me great annoyance.
I understand people need to get married and that it happens basically every weekend all year round. Totally fine. If you are going to ask Ron to be a groomsman in June, it better be indoors with lots of air conditioning. While the wedding was quite amazing, I spent a weekend marching around in a penguin suit in 90 degree weather. I didn’t realize I could sweat that much. Do you know how hard it was to drink the fine whiskey I was having just for it to come out of my pores? What a waste! A fine whiskey needs to stay in and do its work. Not be sweated out into the monkey suit I was wearing. There’s probably hundreds of dollars of booze absorbed into it now. Also, looking ahead for me, a Friday wedding in July? I have no words. Come on people.
Speaking of it being hotter than the Villain’s hell they live in, this topic sparked another pointless debate. Have you ever been part of the debate about “dry heat” versus humidity? Well, I was and I wish I could have those minutes back. People were debating about summer weather and how they’d rather live in a place like Phoenix because it’s better to be in 120 degree weather than the 90 degree weather with 70% humidity found in a place like, lets just say, Chicago. The phrase “dry heat” was used over and over again.
Who won this debate according to me? No one. They’re both moronic statements. This isn’t about what’s better people. It’s about what do you want to tolerate more. This “dry heat” might make you less moist during your day so yay to that. It also prevents you from stepping outside at all during the day unless you want to accelerate the rate of a skin disease forming. The alternative? Going outside and being soaked in sweat in a matter or minutes. That’s better right? Wrong! You just start to sweat from places you never thought you could. How about spending your day taking 4 showers? Great use of time.
This debate comes down to one very simple question. Would you rather live in a microwave or sauna? Now I’ve worked up a rage lather myself. That’s a whole different kind of sweating. So while I love the summer time, I’ve realized something. The only way to enjoy the summer is with lots of delicious drinks near a cool body of water. You see, if you’re near water and start to sweat, you can just jump in and have your discomfort washed away. It also saves you a bathroom trip. Don’t judge me. You all do it! I am losing internet service again…..see…you..all………..some Friday.
