Ten HSBI and two DUO Token Giveaway Week 26!

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far. Here it has been unseasonably hot, but that is supposed to be gone in a couple of days and back to normal September weather here in southern California. I can't wait to be honest, but hot spells come with the territory living around here.

Today is my weekly ten HSBI giveaway just like every Sunday. I find it's always nice to give back to the Hive community. So many of you have done so much for me over the last year and a half and it really is greatly appreciated.

Last week I posed the question of what new TV show or movie has been your favorite of this year. Oddly people seemed to find this question rather difficult. I did get some interesting answers and I'll highlight a few of them. One was "Alien: Romulus" which I haven't seen but I've seen so many of the Alien movies over the years I feel like I know what to expect. Maybe it will be better than I anticipate, I hope so!

Another one was "House of the Dragon". Once again something I have yet to see so I can't really comment one this one. It seems to have gotten good ratings so maybe it's worth diving into when I get some free time. It's always fun finding something new to enjoy!


trends.crast.net

Some others I got were "Deadpool and Wolverine", but only one which surprised me since it has been such a popular movie. It's one I'll be watching once it come out on streaming. Another series mention was "Dark Winds" which sound interesting. It's about mysterious events on the Navajo reservation, and sounds kind of paranormal which I usually enjoy. So I may give it a go, I think I saw the banner for it on Netflix or Amazon, my memory must be slipping since I can't remember where....

Well, onto to today's contest! Being rather warm to day it got me pondering... What is your favorite season? And why?

I've always kind of enjoyed spring and fall personally. Fall is really beautiful in areas where the leaves change colors. The east coast of the US is beautiful this time of year. If it weren't for the cold and snow that soon follows I wouldn't mind living there again!

The Giveaway

I will be giving out two prizes of five (5) HSBI. Third prize will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. There will also be one legendary Splinterlands card as a fourth prize. If you don't play Splinterlands just let me know and I'll send you an HSBI instead. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.

If you have more questions about DUO feel free to ask, it's growth is exceeding all of our expectations!

Legendary Splinterlands card up for grabs this next week:


Djinn Oshannus, I still have a few to give out! One of the better reward cards they have ever created!

If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week. The list so far is rather short:

How to Enter

Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is an easy one:
What is your favorite season? And why?

Choosing the Winners

All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second prize will be another 5 HSBI units. And the third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize is a legendary Splinterlands card or one HSBI unit! And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?

Deadline

One week from today which will be Sunday September 15, 2024 at 12 PM California Pacific Time.

Now to choose last week's lucky winners!

And the first spin!

Congratulations @silvertop ! You have won five HSBI units! Not his first win, this lucky guy has pulled off another first place finish!

And the second spin!

Congratulations @moonthumb ! You have won 5 HSBI units! Last week @moonthumb won two DUO tokens, this week some HSBI. You're on a lucky streak!

And the third spin!

Congratulations @coolmidwestguy , you have won two DUO tokens!

Last but not least, the fourth spin

Congratulations @ekavieka ! You have won either the Splinterlands card or one HSBI. Because I know you don't play I'll go ahead and send off the HSBI to you!

That will wrap up the post for today, once again congratulations to the lucky winners for this week. Thank you everyone for all of your support. It really is greatly appreciated! I hope you all enjoy this little project of mine and that it's helping some of you out. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I look forward to seeing what kind of answers I'm going to see on this question! Hopefully people won't struggle with this one as much as they did last weeks question...

And since I am posting this in the #freecompliments community, I just want to remind everyone to take a few minutes to be kind today. Your kindness can make a big difference in someone's life!

It is nice isn't it with the heat resolving and less tourists. Tourists can be a pain if you live somewhere with a lot of attractions or great beaches. There's a reason I don't live too close to Disneyland!

We only have two seasons where I'm from (dry and wet) but if I had more seasons to choose from, I'd probably pick autumn. The leaves look nice.

Dry would be my pick of the two! Living in the Caribbean it was like that, I kind of liked the drier part of the year!

That's where I am but I can't pick that easily! Dry is good for beaches, wet is a rest from the constant heat so 🤷‍♀️🙃

What is your favorite season? And why?

Winter, I definitely love the colder and icier weather! It's a shame that here in Brazil, where I live, there is no chance of snow.

I would like to be tagged in your giveaways, I would like to participate in them.

I'm happy to have all four seasons here in Southern Germany but summer is the season I like the most. As I'm really into beachvolleyball I enjoy this season especially in the beginning and at the end. In the middle of summer we had many days being to hot to play 😀

WOW! Thanks again. I'd be a fool not to play again.

I like Fall (what little we usually have) because it's when our Texas heat subsides and we have several holidays to enjoy with family.

I like Fall because there are things I don't enjoy in the other seasons. Winter is too cold and Summer too hot. Spring there's allergies. That makes Fall better than the rest!

My favorite season is Cajun! I can't get enough and seem to season all my dishes with it. It's a blend of many different herbs and spices and always has plenty of pepper! Highly recommend :D

Hot and spicy is always awesome year round! I love peppers on my pizza too! Cajun flavors are some of my favorite, especially on ribs when the meat is falling of the bone it's so tender. Good stuff!

Woohoo thanks for the DUO tokens and congratulations to all the others.

My favorite season is Fall. The weather is not too hot and not too cold. Just love wearing jeans, sweatshirts and a fall jacket if needed. It's also a time to enjoy the beautiful makeover of nature caused by cooler temps. It's always eye candy to me to see all the different colors of leaves, trees and certain plants.

You're welcome! Fall is nice especially in you're part of the country. Lots of color changes in the leaves and cooler temps. Plus soon the lawn mower goes away for the year!

My favorite time of year is when it rains moderately, that would be the winter season, in Venezuela there is no snow, but it is a little cold during the rainy season. And if it rains it is winter, I love that time, although a lot of cold is not good, that is why I say moderately.

I absolutely and totally LOVE Fall!! I like the change from the hot and humid to the crisp and cool! The smell of wood smoke in the air from the fires people burn in their homes to the campfire pits around. The fact that THERE ARE NO MORE MOSQUITOES!!!!!

I love to see the fall foliage; some people look on fall with a sort of depression, but I see it as a change in season with lovely colors, temperatures, sights (pumpkins-you can NEVER have too many) seasonal treats. This season for me lasts from September all the way through Christmas and this year, I am looking to try to see it in slo-mo rather than the sped up time frame we all seem to be living in. To delight in the smells (cinnamon and cloves) and everything else it encompasses! A time to enjoy to the fullest! That's why fall is my favorite season and I wish it could last forever!

That's easy, spring! It's always been spring for me, also in Holland and later Hungary. In Holland because it's the only season where the temperature can be good or great and usually not too many wet days. People shaking off the winter depression, lol and looking forward to summer..

In Budapest this was the favourite season because honestly, it seemed to last a long time. Although summer could be hot, usually I had an extended feeling of spring there for half of the year, until things got colder and wet, but not as soon as it would in Holland.

Moving back to Spain, we aimed a bit for an area where we'd have a long feeling of spring, not fully based on the temperature but the hours of sun as well as being able to go out in a t shirt, and usually a vest at the most, rather than a winter coat all winter as in Holland is needed. I can honestly say that a big part of the fall as well as winter meets these criteria's here and even though last year I wore my winter coat some more days than the previous winter here, I still had tons of t shirt days or vest tops rather than needed really hot clothes outside.

Perfect for boulevard walks in the evening as well as having a tapa and drink on the terrace. The summer is two months of (mostly) too hot days, so once it's August, I look forward to fall here, although the fall feels like it's spring again to me. Spring it is!

What's yours?

Spring is always a great season. It warms up but most importantly the days are getting more hours of sunlight. It's too bad we can't have long days like that year round!

You have a great place there with everything close by. You can go out and get tapas, even in winter I suppose but you have to wear warm clothes. It's still a bit chilly in Winter there!

Yeah I'd love to have a year-round spring personally!

Oh it's not too chilly to sit outside for tapas most of the time, and otherwise you can just pick one with inside tables instead. The tapas moments will be less from now on though, we definitely have more of these from spring / summer but once school starts again, I'm putting a break to them lol.

The first year here, I bought a winter coat and only needed it two days that winter.. last year it was needed more though and it was used several weeks in a row. Not sure what I prefer, haha.
