When it comes to taking investment to expand Peony Lane, I'm torn.

Financially, the upside is clear and the downside is pretty low.

The sacrifice is life.

Do I want to go hard for the next 10-20 years and come out very wealthy or do I want to make a decent living, have more time with my future family and come out as wealthy as Bitcoin determines.

I'm torn between what I want out of life and both would be pathways of growth.

Anyone have experience with this choice?

If for some reason you were to find yourself in a knife fight, would you rather have a tanto knife or a bowie knife?

Any knife connoisseurs here?

Serious question though.

Is software architecture more art or science?

Nostr is not the problem.

OUR STENCH IS THE PROBLEM 😭

An interesting thing encountered in taking apart a Ford truck. This whole dash support looks like injection molded plastic but it is 100% cast aluminum. Casting a piece this thin & complicated should be impossible, so I think Ford must be using some sort of injection molding techniques for casting 🤔

The truck is a 2005 so maybe I'm just way behind, but I had no idea this was being done. Or is there some other sort of magic casting technique that I haven't imagined?

Any good books on how Linus did what he did and how he makes it all work?

I don’t suppose there are any Bitcoiner RV mechanics near Quebec City who could come see my RV and let me know what sort of repairs I’m looking at, or possibly even do a repair?

I was driving back to Ontario from Cape Breton, and 3 days into our journey the wheels came off.

Thankfully I was able to wrestle this beast to the side of the highway without any major issues (aside from said wheels coming off.)

CAA was useless, but the Quebec Police (Officer Will Carrerra) helped me big time. They got us towed to an RV Garage near Quebec City, but the problem is - everyone is closed on the weekend.

I won’t know until Monday what will be required to fix it, or even if they can fix it.

I was hoping to get back on the road tomorrow or Monday, but I’m worried I won’t be back on the road until Tuesday or Wednesday at this rate.

Doing finishing touches for my book, which is now past all external editing. I'm doing the author's final edit/checkup, cover, getting it into the right format for publication, etc.

Some questions for the community:

-Do you prefer hardcover, paperback, or ebook?

-For hardcover or paperback, do you care about the physical dimensions of a book? eg do you prefer a 5.5"x8.5" thicc book or a 7"x10" thinner book?

-For those that like audio books, would you prefer to read the book physically or electronically rather than listen to it, if it had a lot of images?

To put it in perspective, to obtain 150 grams of protein from regular food you'd need to consume either:

* an entire chicken

* 24 chicken eggs

* 8 hamburger patties

* 1.25 pounds steak
