I do think the "swap" word makes it confusing when first engaging with LN or Liquid. Always took a moment on Robosats when id see swapin or swap out, figuring out which one means going to LN and vice versa.

I believe this is the case too.

Basically onchain transactions expand and shrink the channel.

Receive BTC from onchain = channel capacity grows

Send BTC to onchain = channel shrinks

I assumed it was just a random copypasta from the depths of the web and finding an author would be hard but it appears this is the author.

So credit goes to one Tom O’Donnell at the New Yorker:

Zap a sat to your Witcher, o valley of plenty

It's stuff like this that makes me scratch my head with all the talk of people saying they vibe coded this and vibe coded that.

How the heck do you vibe code a whole app knowing that the LLM will either hallucinate at some point or trust you too much and follow an erroneous request?

POV: sending a transaction on TRON

I still read non fiction yes.

I think somewhere down the line I started to have less time to read and in retrospect, I must've flagged fiction as "non-essential reading" and cut there.

Thinking it over now, maybe that was a mistaken assumption, if you consider any reading (including fiction) as food for the mind and soul.

Hobbies-wise? or reconnecting with the boys, ripping bongs type stuff? Or headspace/mindset even?

Ever finish a good one and wishing you could play it for the first time all over again... then realize that's a lot of time 😅 I felt that way with a few, including Witcher 3. No time atm, and if I get some it's probably best to play something new, and let the pristine first impression intact.

Even if one clings mostly to good memories and ignores the bad in past selves, it is still important not to linger too much in the past, as difficult as that can be. especially for... intensely nostalgia-prone people (guilty myself).

I'd say the past self I sometimes miss is the carefree, imaginative escapist that did not perceive the passage of time. The one who could easily, and without guilt, fully investing the mind and escaping into fantasy and other worlds whether it's video games, hobbies, movies, books, or other means.

That reminds me, I used to alternate the genre of books Id read. Nonfiction, fiction, nonfiction, fiction and so on... Just hit me I haven't read any fiction in a while. Maybe I'm due.

Celebs can be so insufferable.

I thought they had learned their lesson after that "Imagine" compilation video they filmed from their mansions and castles during COVID. Guess not.

The memeing and dunking must continue.

That's the classic fool-proof method and doesn't require a command line haha

They were protecting you from success

If the wife was complaining, I'm gonna guess he wasn't buying sex toys to complement their nights together and mostly to play with himself haha

If she was complaining about finances and spending too much, it's probably more than a fleshlight or two:

Full-size waifu sexbot, paid in instalments for 36mo with Afterpay

Factory wipe + reinstall OS from graphene to stock.

Though I haven't done that in a while since I've repurposed or given my last few to SO.

For laptops that are disposed of, you can write 0s onto the full disk many times if you're that paranoid. Guessing that's possible with a (android) phone too but might be more complicated. Multiple factory wipes might do the same.

If you use a custom recovery like TWRP you can wipe data, cache etc. thoroughly enough imo

EDIT: A lot of this is probably overkill in 99%+ cases if, as someone else mentioned, the phone was encrypted as you should always ensure. Then a factory wipe would make that data unrecoverable. But sometimes, for some people, overshooting what the threat model realistically requires helps one sleep better at night, especially when these devices keep a lot of personal, financial/BTC information, etc.

Michael Malice said it best recently. We all need to trust experts around us in our daily lives. The problem isn't trusting experts, it's being told to trust "the" experts. The "the" is the problem. I'd argue the same goes for "the" science, etc.

They might not distrust "science", but "The Science"

I sometimes wonder if there's communication and negotiation happening through back channels.

Usually there would be but when the public posturing is this aggressive, I wonder

I wish more people regurgitated Woods & Horton instead of regurgitating Cheney & McCain

Guessing it's the 1$ buy for 25cents fee
