I request an invoice for more than 1m sats by mistake, and it does not expire.
rip my lightning address ⚰️💀⚰️💀
story of how I did it: I wanted an invoice of 20516 sats and I pasted it (omitting that by default there is already one of 1000) ⚰️💀⚰️💀

That’s a bug. I’ll look into it tomorrow. It should expire in a couple hours

Making progress in my cabin project 😉 Yesterday I was supposed to be cutting rafters and mounting them on the ridge but it didn't go as planned - I found a good deal on windows in a local depot. It took me couple of hours to bring them over. Later in the day I laid down some plywood on the walls as I wasn't feeling like working at height 😅
Today I'm working on the roof, no excuses 😉 Already managed to mount two first rafters.
Have a good one!

these posts are the most sane in the whole SN.
Just look at the others shitposting all that crap.
This is hope, this mean some people still work on something that matters, at least for them.

Do you guy's think JWST will discover habitable planets?

How would you define habitable?

Oxygen rich with enough water to sustain life, I guess. I'm sure there's more requirements but surely this can't be the only planet capable of sustaining life. After all, there's most probably an infinite amount of stars and an infinite amount of planets in the universe, probably.

The question just is: Will we be able to reach those planets if they are found?

I agree, it's certainly a matter of time.
The idea of stepping off a lander with no suit on another celestial body is mind-blowing, but I feel pretty confident humans will get there someday.
I sincerely hope the Moon and Mars exploration momentum we have at the moment continues. I'm looking forward to following that progress over my lifetime. There's even a chance a Moon trip would be possible for our generation!

JP Morgan Chase earnings beat estimates because of higher interest income. I guess they can afford to get rid of Kanye

GM all. Looks like there's a chance the UK's Chancellor is going to be packing up his desk today after 5 weeks on the job.

It's all a pantomime don't forget. This will continue to be a merry-go-round of exits, firings and resignations.
Each new successor shall introduce even worse measures to take the U.K. closer to a crisis. The markets dislike inconsistency and that is precisely what they are getting by buying Sterling or U.K. debt.
The ongoing witch hunt (pun not intended) is a distraction, it seems to me they want to get it over with and cause maximum distaste in time for winter.

I guess Truss is in trouble too? Those unfunded tax cuts will probably be completely removed. I'm no expert but it seems like the British press smells blood in the water. Her days may be numbered?

Chancellor is gone.
Truss is certainly in trouble, I guess the question is "Is sacking the chancellor enough to settle everyone in Government?".
I think more so than the press, the markets smell blood in the water. Large liquidations are very profitable and the UK seems to have some in reach.

I guess it depends on the Bank Of England. They obviously scared Truss, but it remains to be seen whether they really stop the bond buying

Absolutely. I think whether they stop Gilt purchases is subjective. We know that they will have to buy bonds in the future (probably sooner rather than later). I wouldn't be surprised to see more long-duration Gilts get added to the BoE's balance sheet in the coming weeks.
