Sorry to read this account. My experiences at the Richmond KY Steak n Shake have been vastly different. One manager - Ian - knows me as the bitcoin guy and chats about the positive experience he’s had with bitcoiners. I’m always greeted by someone offering to take my order - I suspect many gray haired customers prefer the human order taking process. (Maybe you just look too young!)
This doesn’t excuse the crappy experience you had but I wanted to add a different episode to the story ;-)
Lyn, I’ve been fan from afar for a long time. I’m thrilled to hear you have a new book and would be honored to help any way I can. I’m a decent proofreader and can chop trees to make paper if that’s where I’m most needed. ;-)
Best of luck and congrats on the new book!
Siri-opathy!! (blame spellcheck-opathy) Although Siri-opathy does cause Siri-apathy.
Classic symptom of Siri-apathy: deadening of the specific AI circuit you need. Named for Siri, which suffers from the disease more often than not.
Going to Dr with my mom tomorrow. If I wear BTC branded anything, people think my kid tricked me into wearing it as a joke.
Biggest takeaway for me was applying the idea of social networking to the topography of the LN. I've actually never thought of LN in terms of a social network but considering you want to open to known peers it really made other things click for me. That being said their work towards ML is incredible.

I plan to be at the Lexington Meetup July 1. Hope to see you there, and look forward to meeting more KY bitcoiners!
If Strategy (MSTR) made a toilet I’d buy it. Then if Michael Saylor said it was actually a coffee cup, I’d drink from it. Seems I’m all in.
Watching the markets open while being a 100% Bitcoiner is like watching reality TV when you’ve already moved off-grid. You don’t need it, but dang if it’s not entertaining.
I like to use Strike. Not only is Jack Mallers a great leader, buying sats in realtime to pay via lightning means no akward capital gains questions to deal with at tax time.
Facts can be harmlessly sprinkled when making fiction but fiction ruins the whole batch of facts.
Many organizational failures can be avoided by steering clear of folk who demand privilege while shirking any related responsibility.
