Did you know BIP39 had a 5th author who removed himself? Thomas Voegtlin(creator of Electrum) removed himself from the authors after multiple disagreements with the BIP39 design.

If you are not aware there was quite a bit of drama on the Bitcoin mailing list around '13 when the standard was being proposed.

For context, Electrum was the 1st deterministic Bitcoin wallet that allowed for a BIP32 seed to be backed up into 12 words, and then came BIP39.

In all fairness BIP39 was kinda rushed, and even though valid criticism was provided regarding it's shortcomings, they were ignored.

Electrum has its own backup scheme that supports versioning & is not dependent on a dictionary, vastly superior IMO.

As the name implies, perineum sunning is a practice that involves exposing your perineum to the sun for a short period of time—usually 30 seconds to five minutes max. In case you skipped anatomy class, your perineum is the area between your balls and butthole. Or, in the case of women, the vulva and butthole.

According to metaphysicalmeagan Perineum sunning is an ancient Taoist practice that originated in the Far East. In Taoism, the perenium or Hui Yin is called the “Gate of Life and Death.” This is a gateway where energy enters & exits the body.

🍑The benefits of perineum sunning include: 🌞 •It brings in prana or solar energy from the sun into the organs within the body which strengthens the organs. 🌞 •Perineum sunning prevents against the leakage of chi or life force energy from the body. This in turn sustains health & longevity of the physical body. •Increases creativity and creative output. •Aids in a healthy libido & balanced sexual energy.

The supermajority in The Great State of Tennessee just made news vacating the board of it's only public HBCU after a $2 million audit showed no illegality or malfeasance.

The rub is, the board positions they are vacating are already appointed by the governor (8 out of 10 seats), so he's replacing his own appointees or those of his predecessor (both Republicans).
