"There are excellent men who are unable to do anything impromptu or superficially, but whose nature demands that they should quietly and deeply penetrate into every subject they may take in hand.

I was going to get an adapter that lets you charge and listen to headphones at the same time, but then I remembered that there are all these people warning about using devices while they are charging 😅
It’s funny thinking back about a year before I took interest in #Bitcoin, I met a guy that was hoarding rare bourbon as his store of value. I’m talking dozens and dozens of bottles that everyone else was looking for, and that the amount he spent on that collection would be worth 50x now if it was put into #Bitcoin at that time instead.
By the way nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg, I’d LOVE to be able to do what I do here in your app, which is to have access to any music that I can find on YouTube/TikTok/etc. and build my own public playlists using 1-minute samples.
