I grew up really close to Middletown, OH (the planet of 80s Middletown ha to be easy one of the best parts of the book that the movie ignored) in the 1980s and 90s and the whole pizza place/arcade setup was one of the defining social pastimes of my early years.

Awesome!

I used to love this company back in the day and thought they had gone down hill a few years back. I’m so convinced they’re going to be on a big comeback after today.

We just got back. Dude, so impressed on every level. Also, looks like they’re just going to lean in hard on this clientele now.

I also am on a, “slow painful uninspired journey learning to program,” but have to say that my experience with the plebdev course was the exact opposite. It was radically exciting and really educational! I have to admit that I haven’t done much with it recently (just because of life and stuff), but, I was AMAZED at how @bitcoinplebdev bent over backwards to make sure I got the most out of the content. I took the courses before he did the new site, but there were even kinks he was working out then, when I brought those to his attention, every time I got a HUGE in-depth lesson (sadly some of which I’ve forgotten) on what was going on (usually an update by some library that was part of the lesson), and how programmers work through that stuff.

I don’t mean to downplay your frustrations (seriously, not trying to be rude), but I would absolutely downplay your warnings. The plebdev courses are AMAZING, even with some kinks due to its progressive nature.

Slide trombone!

Yeah, some of the time when I played with George, Kash Waddie (one of the guys that did the same journey from James Brown to p-funk) was still on drums part of the show. I’ve only met Bootsy a couple of times, but he was real cool.

I’ve got a great Catfish Collins (his brother) story from when I was with Stone City Band, but it’s longer than I got to share right now.

Another wild thing about Bootsy is, he’s done all of these little things in pop culture that are just like little dabs here and there. For example, he’s the singer in that Fatboy Slim song that we all mainly remember because Christopher Walken is flying around a hotel lobby.

I didn’t think of that! Great idea!

For any curious, I wrote them via signal and explained in a follow up email that I don’t have WhatsApp. I’ll let you know if they send me the invoice there or come back with a different plan.

I really appreciate all the advice and feel more confident in my conviction to avoid WhatsApp.

I’m not sure I actually know anyone in person that uses it.

In general, agreed, but these guys have a public face and I’m relatively confident bad reviews are enough to keep them honest.

Just curious, is anyone in the, "go ahead and get Whatapp," camp?

As an aspiring WAR service provider, I certainly feel supported by you.

I noticed you hit up Bitcoin Ekasi recently. Very cool!

Is there a particular company you’d recommend for renting a car in South Africa with Bitcoin?

Any particular must-go places at/between Cape Town and Mossel Bay or George if you’ve gone that far? Any other tips?

So he doesn’t believe in sampling, or covers, or ongoing stories? This sounds suspect. He just sounds like somebody with good taste. :) #thereareonlyfivestarwarsmovies

Sounds like a success to me!

What I’ve done here is hook up the heat exhaust from a Bitcoin miner to a boot dryer/warmer.

Thanks!

Relevant, but not reverent, which is the way I read that the first time. 🤣

So, my answer is, bitcoin’s most underrated use case is boot warming!
