Where do you buy your silk suits?

HighFalutinFancyLads.com

They have all of your favorite brands and designers of silk suits...and more! Use promo code DANDY4LIFE to receive a 10% discount and free shipping!

It sadly doesn't exist. Haha!

WHAT??? NOOOOOO!!!

Where will I get all of my silk suits now?!?!

Favorite food?

and also why are you so splendidly toxic?

Figures you'd be the one asking the hard-hitting questions...

Let's see...favorite food...? I don't know. Can one even have a favorite with all of the amazing food out there? I mean, I do enjoy cookies a lot. But then who doesn't like a good cake too? I'm not a fan of cookie cakes though, so that can be ruled out. But ice cream cakes are definitely near the top of the list. Blizzards are also pretty amazing. I think I'm getting fixated on desserts though, which are too easily "favorites."

Other than desserts, I think lasagna ranks pretty high. Lasagna with a nice meat sauce or even a side of a giant pile of meatballs is quite hard to beat. Then again, can't go wrong with a perfectly moist brisket, smothered in sweet and tangy barbecue sauce and piled high on some slightly crusty, buttery garlic toast. And who doesn't love a full Thanksgiving turkey dinner as well, with all of the traditional sides?

And then you can't really dismiss breakfast foods either. How about some homemade blueberry waffles or banana-pumpkin pancakes with pure maple syrup and a side of bacon? Or an onion, pepper, spinach, and cheese omelet topped with some fresh tomatoes and avocado and a side of bacon? Or even some over-easy eggs and toast with some hash browns or breakfast potatoes, a bowl of cheesy grits, and a side of bacon? Or just a fresh-made bagel with cream cheese and a side of bacon?

And you certainly can't forget about the classics. A supreme (or comparable) pizza is always going to be a top-5 all-time favorite. Then there's the classic mushroom and swiss burger with bacon and a side of onion rings or seasoned curlies. Street tacos or a stuffed mega-sized burrito are a treat for one's taste buds. And what about the classic fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits?

You know what? I just can't pick one. Choose anything from the list above and I'll agree to it.

What was the other question? Oh, right...

no u

can't go wrong with a perfectly moist brisket, smothered in sweet and tangy barbecue sauce and piled high on some slightly crusty, buttery garlic toast.

OMG. Yes. And a side of bacon.

Why are you so smart?

Hmm...I've never really thought about that. I'd have to say that it has a lot to do with my big brain. If I'm not mistaken, the size of your brain directly correlates to intelligence. And I'm pretty sure that my brain is a bit swollen from past head injuries.

So, yeah. Swole brain...final answer.

Who is your favorite poker player at brosinopoker.com and why am I?

I think that’s pretty obvious...

You’re like, a king, or something. You win all of the points. You win all of the hearts and minds. You win all of the respect. You win all of the ladies.

Basically, you just inspire us all to be our best!

On a scale of 1 - 10, how likely are you to wrestle Al to the death?

Why do you always blame @bethalea?

Oh, that's an easy one...

Because it's always her fault!

What does ats really mean? REALLY. /serious /really

It's an acronym that nobody has correctly guessed in nearly four years. I actually like it this way.

Ten HIVE to anyone who guesses correctly. Go!

Cheapskate

What??? In a year, that 10 HIVE will be worth approximately $42,795.83!

Do you have a $300 course I could take that will tell me how to earn 10 HIVE by correctly guessing what ats stands for?

Yes. You can find all of my courses on Udemy. Be careful not to click on the link where I demonstrate how to autofellatio for a cool $899.99. The high price is just to help cover all of the back surgeries.

That poor baby...

What is your coffee of choice?

I have a special hook-up in Costa Rica, where I can get fresh Tarrazú coffee from a cooperative of small farmers. Several of those farmers produce their own “honey” coffee and, I have to say, they put out some top-notch beans. Best coffee I’ve had to date.

That reminds me...I need them to send more!

That’s sounds much better than Starbucks Verona, I must say.

Anything?

What's your favorite sex position 🤐🤗

First! I always win too! Perfect record...for now.

Omg 😂 😂 😂

I've seen you active in the Hive discord, you do the witness, you have dapp....

What's your favorite activity involving Hive?

I think my absolute favorite activity is clicking on that "Claim Rewards" button.

KA-CHING!

amirite? 😃

Most of us have the same favorite

Do you prefer Mexican food or Italian food? And, what is your favourite cuisine type?

Overall, I’d have to go with Italian. It’s in my blood. But I do love a good taco night or two per week.

Favorite cuisine type, ever? Might have to stick with Italian. It’s quite versatile and extremely flavorful and colorful. And a lot of it is easy to make, unlike that Frenchy stuff.

Do you think it would be cool to utilize Poker for PR and send the best HIVE tournament players to EPT and WSOP mainevent equipped with Hive shirt, Hive cap and so forth ?

I think that would be an excellent idea! Do you know of any good poker players? 😁

How are you David? 🙂

What’s the hardest you’ve ever worked?

Hands down, hardest I’ve ever worked was trying to convince people that Ned was an awful CEO and community leader and that he, his company, the blockchain, and the community would fail and/or suffer because of it. That was a tough gig that didn’t work out so well for me. Didn’t make a lot of friends from speaking that truth for so long.

But look at us now!

The heavy cost of being right!

You are the about the only one who survived that fight and was constant enough to keep yelling it on top of your lungs!

Do you have a beard, and if so, do you let your wife tickle it?

I do have a beard but it's been trimmed down quite a bit lately. I'm not even sure if it qualifies as a beard anymore.

And, actually...I let everyone but my wife tickle it.

* tickles the beard *

tickles the beard

Hi @ats-david,

what else should I ask?

What is your favorite beer 🍺 and why?

Many greetings from the #BeerSaturday community and thanks for your support!

My favorite beer is any beer over 5.8% alcohol. So Natural Ice just makes the cut!

But really, none really stand out to me as a superior beer or quality. There are some that I’ll occasionally buy, like Newcastle or Sam Adam’s Oktoberfest, but that’s probably just for the nostalgia.

I’m more of a hard liquor guy. Give me a good whiskey or some vodka over a beer any day.

Do you really, like really...think that we've left all the shit that drove us here from Steem behind us and we're in everything's perfect mode? If not what changes would you like to see / what would you like to be eliminated? (ninja mined stake aside)

If the answer is too long feel free to make a post about it. Ha!

Have a good one and have a great month

Here's what I think he'll say:

  1. no. no such thing as perfect
  2. no changes necessary as long as power is decentralized
  3. eliminate bulbous leaders who make irresponsible and greedy fiscal decisions

Do you really, like really...think that we've left all the shit that drove us here from Steem behind us and we're in everything's perfect mode?

Nope. In fact, I’d say we brought most of the problems with us, even though we eliminated the giant effin’ albatross from around our necks (STINC and the ninja-mine).

If not what changes would you like to see / what would you like to be eliminated?

Too many changes, too little time. But briefly...

I’d like to see more use for HP and better staking rewards outside of those that are content-related. That may involve a long-term plan of moving posting/curating rewards from the base layer and onto a side-chain for communities/interfaces and their tokens, and I know that won’t be an easy sell to many people.

In the meantime though, I still hope for a cultural shift away from constant arguing over downvotes and rewards...and for some common sense reward allocation overall, particularly from our larger stakeholders.

ohhhh the anticipation is so DELICIOUS. but! what do I ask?!? a hard hitting question like... apple or orange juice? or a REALLY interesting one like... how awesome do you ACTUALLY think I am??

I'm going to go with this; if you could visit ONE HIVE person (in a not-creepy, totally consensual way ofc) ... who would it be and why?

(I LIKE THIS GAME!)

what do I ask?!

Oh, you can ask anything you want. But you only get one question. So...

Thanks for stopping by!

[Edit]

Alright, fine...I'll answer the rest.

apple or orange juice?

how awesome do you ACTUALLY think I am??

HAHAHAA, YAY!! (except for the blaming me part, ofc)

Like I've always said... you're ATS-MAZING!!

At this time, I think we should take a moment to decode the ATS-cronym. I'll start:

At the shitter
Already too special
Awesome, then surly
Al takes sugar (on his small animals)
Anything to suck
Authenticated truncated stack
Artificial tip scrotum

Your turn, @bethalea.

Always talking shit .

AAAHHHHH!! You figured it out!!!!

WINNER , WINNER! Chicken dinner!🤣

Did you catch that, @crimsonclad?

Hello @ats-david welcome to the AMA community.

My questions is what do you see Hive looking like in 10 years?

Probably like this...

bees.jpg

Sounds accurate lol ... thanks!

How did you achieved 8 Packs and 250 IQ ?

Superior Mediterranean-based genetics. Are you familiar with such genes?

Why do you believe Hive blockchain?

I believe Hive because Hive has never lied to me. 😁

I believe in Hive because we finally have control of our own blockchain destiny instead of being chained to the deck of a sinking ship.

instead of being chained to the deck of a sinking ship.

Are you a dog or a cat person? You seem like a dog person.

You've got a giant head
It's like an orange on a toothpick

What size hat do you wear?

I think it's around eleventy-nine decimeters. I'm not sure about the metric conversion though.

'Murica!!!

Oh boy ATS is here 😀

Are you always grumpy?

Nope.

In all fairness @littlescribe said you have a good 2nd side to you 😀

KWAAAAAA

😀

Actually, in all fairness, @littlescribe said "he knows everything...when he says something, listen. He never says anything he can't stand behind 100%"

And then I said, "He's an absolute sweetheart to the core."

And I said, "He's our resident dick."

That about sums it up.

Accurate ^ lol
