What does splicing mean in this context? I love the metaphor. Dig into it a bit.
I may be using the term wrong cuz I'm still an idiot wrt Lightning, but I think it's where you can increase channel capacity without closing the channel.
I think we grew our "channel capacity" a lot in the early years and that has helped "keep the channel open" into adulthood, even though I moved away and have a much lower # of transactions with friends back home. I'm lucky to have those kinds of channels still, I know not everyone does.

Yes, that’s splice-in and splice-out is the reverse, see article on bitcoinops

Figuring out how to grow capacity with smaller number of transactions is an interesting problem in its own right. I think about this by trying to be as fully present as possible when I'm with someone, like I want them to feel me intensely.
I have someone I consider a top 5 friend who I see every couple of years, but man, I am all the way there when we're together.
