Thought exactly the same. Been meaning to rewatch that Rogan ep because I distinctly remember how odd it was to have your lawyer there to answer everything.
Should be an interesting rewatch with the power of hindsight, knowing more things now (and the fun rumor that apparently that "PR chick/lawyer" cried in anger during a meeting when it was announced Elon bought Twitter [citation needed though])
I went and watched a certain youtuber for shits and giggles recently, the kind that focuses on crypto news and analysis, first time in many many years. Was surprised they were still active and kicking.
Kind of hits different when you're out of the shitcoin swamp.
They just go on analyzing different coins and giving an update on the trends, as if there was anything to be analysed at all. It's the same as it's always been in 99% of the cases: Bitcoin goes up, altcoins follow. Bitcoin goes down, altcoins creater. There's nothing to be analysed but they deliver their report regardless of the fact that it's even less accurate than weather reports, by a lot. It's a myth just like the myth of "keeping your crypto asset diversified to mitigate risk" by having a "portfolio" with a hundred different shitcoins.
In the analysis, there's always the subtext of "Could go up, could go down, could go sideways, we'll have to see".

They're all kind of cringe imo, but some less than others. Tongue in cheek.
You can tell the economic prospects for the next decade aren't too hot when financial & business leaders have to start begging the government to pressure or force pension funds to invest more domestically, because said funds prefer investing outside Canada for stronger economic returns.
This is going to vary wildly based on location.
Been to villages and small towns where everyone leaves doors open. Kind of places where it literally feels safe sleeping on the sidewalk with your belongings. The cops there are akin to village uncles, telling kids up to no good to stop messing around because they'll tell their parents next time they see em.
Not to the same extent, but it was somewhat true a generation ago around where I live. Almost no one locked their doors and left stuff hanging outside (tools, toys etc.) A lot more rare nowadays though.
Question from someone who's only used LN casually and haven't dove into the full rabbit hole first, just knowledgeable of the concepts:
Is there a difference in how different LN wallets and services handle high fees?
Say custodial vs something like phoenix (splicing, single channel non-custodial) vs zeus (everything DIY) ?
Is this actually new tech, or are they just marketing it up with the fact that phones that are turned off can still not be truly off and instead operate in very low power?
I'm not 100% sure.
I know there are group insurance plans (typically from employers) who will cover stuff like dental, vision, drugs either in part or fully up to a certain amount. You pay the difference.
Note: as far as I know, most of those private insurance plans do NOT cover your visits at the private sector. If I go pay to see a private doctor, it's like going for a massage without a doctor's note, they will refuse to reimburse.
Facts.
Everytime im searching stuff and land in a reddit thread and the comments are high quality, detailed, mature, actually funny and not some shitty pun and THANKS FOR redditGOLD KIND STRANGER, i go and notice the date posted...
Its always like "13y ago"
I'm not against Liquid. When you say under the hood, meaning you don't interact with L-BTC at all but they use it to hold funds (rather than onchain) and tell the user it's lightning?
Edit: nvm just saw a screenshot of the UI. Looks like they consolidate it all under a "layer 2 Bitcoin" balance. Interesting.
