The only reason there should be less Bitcoin talk is to make space for more Bitcoin action.

Oh I'm talking about I don't mess with mesh routers much because I'm running OpenWRT on old school routers that don't do mesh. I'm really glad you brought it up, though, because these ladies were wanting some variety in their conversation. We can now enter into an hours-long talk about the details of flashing open-source router firmware.

I know. I just saw mesh and it reminded me that I have to get my mesh router set up soon. I am going to look more into meshtastic, though. Thanks!🫑

I’ll shut up when core closes Peter Todd’s spam blasting BIP
In my house, with bitcoin and other stuff of that nature, I get the "please for the love of God shut the fuck up look" - tilted head, blank stare, not listening, just hoping for a meteor or something. I know the look well, and probably 50% of the time I stop talking.
Bahaha maybe I should fake a hearing loss. I don’t mind it if it’s like 20 minutes at a time, he goes on forever and doesn’t explain, just straight lecture style πŸ˜‚

My husband's love language is undivided attention, and he is a professor by nature (and previous job). I love that he talks, but I have a limited amount of listening time, unless I can chime in. He knows this so if he has gone on and on for a while, he's really grateful that I exherted the effort and gave him the space to talk it through. My best advice it to come up with something that will work for both of you, and make a deal. If you have a 20 minute limit, maybe a timer could work? Or, I saw you mention him talking about things without explaining what they are. So, maybe you can ask him to explain it if he wants to keep talking to you, or you're gonna go do something else. Seems fair to me, as you're both respecting his desire to talk about bitcoin by offering a way that will work for you, and also respecting your own time by setting the boundary for how he can respect you when he wants to talk about bitcoin. The talking in his sleep part is outside of my expertise πŸ˜…πŸ€£
