Lightning is so dope... I can send payments to @Bitrefill and they can decide to cancel the payment if they cannot deliver my order. This is great because then they don't need a refund workflow (which paid it via onchain or would credit my account). This is also great because I get to keep everything in the same wallet. We are living in wonderful times.

I have neglected the art of brewing a good cup of tea for far too long.

I hate this about the Amethyst client.

I genuinely have no clue how many hours of sleep I'll be running on today. But there's work to be done.

You ever met a low time preference degenerate before?

There's no inertia as strong as that of social norms. Most successful digital content creators don't work/publish on weekends even though they could work/publish whenever they want. I understand they need the rest, but I don't understand why they would choose to rest on days everyone else is forced to rest on. May your social norm of a weekend be forever restful.

Wonderful work 👏👏👏

Hey Vsauce, We so back.

I am not a fan of 10 year anniversary releases of albums, but Nick Hakim really delivered something great with his 10 year anniversary release of Where Will We Go. His new release packages 10 new recordings of his demos and rehearsal from around the time he was working on Where Will We Go pt 1 and Where Will We Go pt 2. I feel like these recordings are effectively Where Will We Go pt 3. While new additions in 10 year anniversary releases by most artists allow you to hear why the variations of the songs didn't make the album, Where Will We Go pt 3 feels very much different. It feels like he is sharing the songs he was busy with while crafting the sound that is heard through the Where Will We Go series. Normal 10 year releases give you mixed and mastered songs that didn't make the album... Where Will We Go pt 3 gives you "unplugged", and unmixed recordings from what the acoustic suggest is where he used to live. The aesthetic of the rough quality of recording of these demos had actually made it on the initial releases of the Where Will We Go series. As can be heard on songs like Heaven, Sleep and the last two minutes of Pour Another. This aesthetic was paired well with the polish of the initial releases. And hearing the demos helps one understand how well they actually polished some of the songs, like I Don't Know and The Light. Songs that even in their demo form still sound great to listen to, the addition of the extra instruments on the electric guitar solos just makes the initial releases extra special. Where Will We Go pt 3 is an easy listen because it sounds like you in the room while a seminal project is getting put together. And the decision to put the demo records at the start of the tracklist instead of at the end, like they usually do with 10 year anniversary releases that don't have any new flare to share, made this feeling more evident. A fan of the initial releases can enjoy the demos and eventually hear the versions of the songs the know and love, while being introduced to some of the songs/ideas that didn't make it on the initial release. Hearing a song with the vocal delivery like Chorch and harmonies of Fly High will have you wondering why and how these did it not make the initial release. These songs are surely getting sampled in a few years by your favourite rappers favourite rapper. The only bad thing I have to say about this 10 year anniversary release is that it would appear the limited edition vinlyn doesnt include Where Will We Go pt 3. Why would he go and not include these on vinyl??????????

Looks like I may be in need of a new phone and laptop.

Fueled by Ramen was and still is a mantra.

I'm suffering from a severe case of every idea I have is executable.
