Going Full Crypto is Still Very Much a Pipe Dream for Me (A Mini-Rant & RFC)

19 Feb 2023 3 minute read 7 comments Great White Snark

Crypto Pipe Dreams Once again, I am really struggling to bring in crypto for the content I post. I don't know if it's because I don't have a good idea of what my audience likes, fickle/minimal attention spans, a lack of consistency on my part, insuf...

The Type of Person Who'd Tell Newton to Not Stick Needles in His Eye

1 Dec 2022 1 minute read 1 comment Great White Snark

The older people get, the more set in their ways they seem to get. I've seen it with my parents' and grandparents' generations, which are/were particularly rigid. Case in point, an encounter with an unnamed and unidentified individual from that era:...
