Still got the potato camera for now. My laptop will need replacing next year so I might accidentally get a better camera. Will be sad when it happens.

My canonical headphones broke a couple days ago. End of an era. Replaced them with the nextgen version of the same thing. Stronger than ever. Most youtube viewers won't notice, but I had to say it somewhere. Might as well say it here on the edge realms. Hurts, man.

This is probably how my neighbors view me, actually.

For those who have read Stolguard and want to experience it again (like, say Fight Club needs a second run), give the audio version by and a try. It opens a different experience, and they as narrators truly brought something new to the table with their acting and dedication.

Always pursue your dreams. And yes, Carla and Walker really knocked it out of the park on this. I can’t overstate how committed they were to getting this right.

Imo the biggest difference is that private debt bubble peaks are more disinflationary than people think. Money-printing offsets debt destruction. Public debt bubble peaks are more inflationary, with rising fiscal deficits no longer offset by falling interest rates.

GM, doing a refresh of some of my giga-long macro charts. Figured I'd post my favorite one here on Nostr first. Readers of Broken Money will recognize the 1920-2022 version of this from that book, which is now extended through 2025. (Digging into this data super deeply back in 2018/2019, along with a bunch of related datasets, is how I came to see that nothing stops this train.)

I think for many people there’s kind of a bell curve of philosophy, where up to a point it’s increasingly value to study (helps build good reasoning, awareness of multiple different frameworks for things, etc) but then there are diminishing results and potentially even some negative results if you spend too much time on it.

Ratings are starting to come in for the audiobook version of Stolguard. Glad to see people are appreciating Walker and Carla’s performance as much as I did! The voices they provided and their attention to detail really helped make it come to life. https://www.amazon.com/Audible-The-Stolguard-Incident/dp/B0H29Y33PQ

My husband is like, "Lyn, whenever we're apart, you get weird online." I'm like, "what do you mean?" And he's like, "you make weird bets with people you don't know." And I'm like, "You have made a fair argument, sir. But here we are."

I for one am in the camp that prefers men with beards. It feels natural to me. Masculine. They were born to have them. There are only two public pictures of my husband, since he prefers privacy, and yeah he has a beard. Not a shocker. But, where I do sympathize with the complexity of this issue, is about convenience. Some men have such thick beards that their lips aren’t even visible. How does that affect kissing? As a woman, do you kiss a coarse furball? What does that feel like? And as a man, what do you do about food particles and cleanliness? What does this all feel like? IMO the optimal beard doesn’t cover the lips too much. But that’s somewhat genetic. Thick-beards can shave it, some people are born with it naturally avoiding the lips, etc. My husband’s beard is thick but naturally avoids his lips. Visibly, when it grows long he’s like, “I need to shave this- I look like the head of ISIS.” And sometimes he gets the physical urge to shave it clean and start fresh and I’m like, “no!” but then he does it anyway and I’m sad briefly but look forward to it growing back. He controls his own hair of course. We both prefer the beard, but with limits. And his limits are ironically tighter than mine. Anyway, good evening. What are your thoughts on beards? I’m curious why there are not more of them.
