Registered a domain specifically to sell lighting for #Bitcoin. Thinking of setting it up with a simple Wordpress + Woocommerce site and either BTCpayserver or Zaprite (thanks to @Ben Justman🍷 for recommending Zaprite). First time accepting BTC as payment, anything to keep in mind besides small UTXO’s? Anything else I should keep in mind? #ecommerce

What if someone high up, likely these hedge fund MSTR shorts, started this Saylor rumor (or even leaked it if true) as a reason to drive the spread down on MSTR/BTC trade? Attacking Saylor is the only way to get that trade to work because anything else harms BTC and both lose and hedgies make less. #Saylor #MSTR #ConspiracyTheory #hedgefunds

6 Lighting secrets to make small spaces feel big: • Install lighting at varying heights • Focus light on ceilings • Adding mirrors • Spotlight architectural details • Choose color tunable fixtures • Avoid dark walls #ArchitecuralLighting #LightingDesign #InteriorDesign

High ceilings and walls of glass dominating your space? Don't forget the lighting! With soaring vertical heights it's easy for even the most breathtaking modern homes to feel somber and dim if lighting is an afterthought. #ArchitecturalLighting #InteriorDesign #Chandeliers #LED

Tired of dated recessed lighting in your modern home? Trimless is the answer! For truly seamless, architecturally-pure spaces free of visual clutter, designers are ditching dated recessed trims in favor of trimless fixtures that virtually disappear into the ceiling: • Square or round trimless openings maintain uninterrupted ceiling planes • Tailored optics deliver crisp uniform output without hotspots • Advanced LED sources crank out high lumen output from compact apertures • Smart dimming from 100% to 1% or lower blackout with the right controls • Efficient low-wattage illumination slashing energy costs Trimless recessed lighting does require additional labor but it's well worth it if your space is in dire need of a design overhaul. Standard builder-grade recessed housings were never intended for refined, elevated illumination. If old halogen (or heaven forbid fluorescent) yellowing or boxy trims cheapen your modern composition, it's time to upgrade. #ArchitecturalLighting #LightingDesign #RecessedLighting #ModernDesign #InteriorDesign

A great excerpt from Philip L. Carret, one of Warren Buffett’s hero’s, explaining why inflation is “very bad” and how we’d been better off sticking with a gold backed currency. From the book “The Mutual Fund Masters”. Phil was 97 years old at the time of the interview.

Great video on what it’s like living in Cuba today, how broken the Cuban peso is, and the challenges of trying to use better money.

Never seen a TV as full of software bugs as the #TCL #roku 65R625. It's about 2 years old and crashes/restarts occur every few days since day 1. Even coming out of a screensaver will crash an app. Own a few TCL #rokutv's and they also crash but the 65R625 is particularly bad. TCL tv's in general have poor quality. I guess you get what you pay for. Older plasma Panasonic and even Toshiba are still going strong. Aside the software issues, which I attribute to Roku OS, the TCL's have had LED backlights go out, power issues, and failed components. When they work, they are great but having owned 5 TCL's over 8 years I can say that 2 of them have had hardware issues (1 was total loss) and all of them have suffered software issues like app crashes, slow interface on Roku, and random restarts. #beware #PSA
