Love it. Another awesome scene in a similar vein is Independence Day when the missile doesn’t launch and the Dad flys into the bottom of the spaceship.

Altlas shrugged is like 1500 pages lol. I listened to the audio book on tape many years ago and it was great buuuut was like 15hours long

I have to admit that it changed my life.

Some of the monologues are tough to get through for sure.

And yes it’s a tome.

I think it’s over 60 hours on audio 😂

Was a great conversation.

Thanks both.

Not super comparable.

Easy read or listen.

Its just a family, The Mandibles. Follows them in a post US economic collapse. Not necessarily what will happen but a plausible outcome.

Awesome thanks!

One of the best business cards I’ve ever received. A NFC card that took me straight to his Nostr npub.

Microsoft is proposing investing in Bitcoin to shareholders to vote on in the Dec 10 meeting.

The Overton window is shifting.

Don’t overthink it.

Does it say who brought the proposal? (Forgive me if it’s there I didn’t read down!).

Board recommending against of course.

Big though!

Shifting indeed.

The perfect morning.

5:30am - wake

6:00am - lifting/cardio

7:00am - range time

8:00am - breakfast

8:30am - take the kids to school

9:00am - check the markets

Consider the addition of 30 minutes in God’s word!

BTC Sessions

Just had an exciting moment that my normie friends will never appreciate.

I bought a couple beers.

...But it was more than that. I bought a couple beers with Bitcoin.

...But it was more than that. I bought a couple beers in Lugano Switzerland with lightning, through Zeus wallet with my own lightning channel, connected to Alby Hub, running on my Start9 node, on my shelf in my office back home in Canada.

So yes, I just bought a couple beers. But it was fucking exciting.

🧡 this.

I have a mixed view on the whole Mission Impossible franchise (depends on the movie, etc) but one of my absolute favorite scenes in the series is the bathroom fight scene in Mission Impossible: Fallout.

The main protagonist Ethan Hunt, along with a badass guy played by Henry Cavill, try to capture a guy to scan his face. This guy isn't some big bad final villain; he's just a random mid-tier bad guy. Scanning his face is meant to be a fairly straightforward part of their bigger plan.

But what they didn't account for was that this random guy is like a god-tier fighter. He just absolutely rekts them 2v1 no matter how hard they try.

One of the aspects of unbelievability of the broader series is like, "how many times is Ethan Hunt going to save the world?" And there are some movies where they're literally like, "We need to send in Ethan Hunt for this; he's the *only* one who can do it."

So this scene helps in kind of humbling the abilities of the otherwise OP protagonist.

I have a scene in my hobby manuscript where someone gets into what should be an easy fight and is surprised to see that it's harder than they expected, and I think this Fallout scene kind of inspired it. Because when you have that scenario, there's a potential mix of 1) truly good tension as the stakes are high but also 2) some minor level of comedy and 3) the sense of surprise that this really isn't going as expected.

I hadn’t previously noticed that element in the scene!

I actually love the MI series. I think the second is still my favourite.

I will admit I am a huge Tom Cruise fan. For me Top Gun: Maverick is the greatest motion picture in history.

There have been many many times in life where I simply wasn’t feeling it.

Where I didn’t feel like honoring my commitments to others or to myself.

I simply just showed up and did shit anyway.

I did things I didn’t want to do. At times I didn’t want to do them. For small amounts of money.

I did things that were painful or difficult or unpleasant and I did them without complaint.

I did these things because I knew they were necessary to get the results I was after.

Most people are not willing to do hard things and so most people get the same results.

This, in my opinion, is what it means to be a man.

Or at least a significant part of it.

Mostly side passion. Bitcoin and signed messages transmitted by relays have appearances, tho. Not just to stick them in there, but because it’s the near future and they are relevant.

🧡 it.

Well thank you for all you do for rational economic thinking.

And looking forward to your contribution to pure entertainment!

I had trouble sleeping last night, so instead I reached 100k words in my hobby sci fi manuscript. Full length will be ballpark 120k.

I’m going to take a break from adding new words to it, and will spend some time editing the first 100k.

The reason I was able to write most of the first draft quickly (two months, as a side project) is because I had a bunch of plot outlines and character details bouncing around in my head for a long time. But the last part is less fleshed out, even though I know the outline of the ending. So I need to let it sit for a bit and collect some more thoughts on it, rather than rush to get it on paper. Sometimes a random shower thought driving while listening to music helps you think of that detail that completes a scene or ties scenes together.

Are there any financial/economic elements to the plot line, nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a ?

Or is it purely a “side passion project” ?
