Montréal invaded by an occupying wartime army that wiped out all culture and expulsed all domestic inhabitants?

The Swedes have their snus, American has the rifle, and the Dutch have their bicycles.

What consumer product is your country a proud defender of?

pinged my own node with lighting 40 times, and then received and sent all that. what we’ll do for vanity

This is mostly a bad bill. Market pressures are more important (and moral) than government pressures.

Seeing many relay failures (maybe related to AWS being down?)

— I may have to spin up my own relay again

don’t ever use Wallet of Satoshi, but downloaded it to reserve the lightning address name so no other joker gets my handle
