Being unemployed feels weird. On the one hand it feels shameful and slothful, but on the other hand it feels wildly freeing. Almost disturbingly freeing.

Getting laid off doesn't feel great, but I'm so glad I've been saving in bitcoin. I'd be much worse off if I were saving in fiat

Two fishermen and their dog were caught in an EF3 tornadic waterspout as it crossed the Stanolind Reservoir on December 28, 2024. No one was hurt even though surveys suggested max wind speeds of 161 mph.

The damage and lore around the Jarrell tornado has always fascinated me. Some of the most incredible phenomena included a wire speared through a tree; a bumper embedded several feet into the ground; a partially scoured concrete slab; and plumbing torn from a concrete foundation.
