seconded on Patanjali
This is what any practitioner needs to read or you'll have no clue what yoga is even about unless you read some even more ancient vedic texts or something. But Patanjali incorporates the important stuff from all yogic traditions.
Depending on how deep you want to go, you can read several translations. Every sanskrit word of these sutras is laced with deep meaning. But it is very manageable if you start with a nice, accessible, middle-of-the-road translation. I like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Sutras-Patanjali-Weiser-Classics-dp-1578637309/dp/1578637309/ref
Mukunda Stiles made a great, poetic translation, conveying the basic concepts well to the layman.
It may not be as readily accessible to the western mind as a translation like this:

But at the same time, it doesn't try to hammer square pegs into the round holes by constant allusion to christian theology, and doesn't block the flow of the sutras with the author's interpretation.
It's not a super-advanced translation where every term is expounded upon like some more academic-focused authors, turning what should be simple aphorisms turn into paragraphs of explanation. For that same reason, it doesn't get in its own way. Highly recommended.
lol no, but I'd give him props for doing what he should have done anyway. BUT HE NEVER WILL, because he's Joe Biden.
Where does Emeg̃ir (Sumerian) fall in all this? Having just read "The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross," I was lead to believe most languages inherited from sumerian!
I thought cashu would be good for sites like stacker news, exchange platforms and maybe bitcoin mixers, but I think it's actually bigger than that. Mints being able to prove that their reserves match or exceed liabilities is kind of a game changer for a universal, completely private, yet federated, interchangeable, unlinkable mintbuck denominated in sats with constant solvency proofs and automated bank runs to ensure as little damage as possible from any bad actors.
Or that there isn’t a cheap route.
Thanks for the response, @k00b
How do I go about figuring out how much the route(s) that it can find will cost? I seem to just need to make invoice after invoice until suddely I paid enough to the network?
Are you?
Well I read the lightning service here was shutting down in June. I equated that with needing to withdraw. Maybe not?
fiat only nothin - they classlessly foisted that mobilecoin scam on everybody and then moxy peaced the fuck out. They push so many useless updates (while making apk versions expire even before they're incompatible) that govcorp could easily mitm anybody they choose without anyone noticing. Now you can't even send a damn message with a new account without doxing your browser, ip, timezone to them and running scripts from a third party captcha provider (and whoever they've chosen to host their infrastructure).
They removed the ability to send and receive regular text messages, so now it's even harder to convince your contacts to bother installing signal, and despite supposedly today removing the need for phone numbers, you still can't get a signal account without associating one. Signal has been receiving CIA cut-out funding since long ago and the last few years have seen the most ridiculous moves ever since moxy left. I'm looking at YOU, profiles stored online and backed up with nothing but a goddam phone number and a PIN to protect it. And that's years after they ripped out on-device encryption.
The only thing it does right is encryption messages in flight, and it did that since day one. Essentially everything else about Signal is actually pretty fucked now.
If you're for real @FeexWillMove then while you're at it please publish a signed message saying the coins were never owned by Craig Wright or his "Tulip Trading"
