Similar things happened amongst the men over the years as NBA got more profitable and salaries increased. I think MJ was quite resented at the time before he won any championships. I also recall reading that in the Larry Bird era and before that lesser paid players sometimes got second jobs.

Terrible night of no sleep and doomscrolling

It's also a byproduct of standardization. For any given field of business / research there might be different state formats or existing file extensions (just for example) and some abstraction layer / DSL comes up that makes life easier by wrapping different file formats and implementations. People adopt them on the promise that you only need to learn this new interface and can forget the rest, and in a lot of cases it really works. When it works, it's fine and saves a lot of time, but when some dependency fails or there's some kind of breaking change, it's annoying to hunt down and reason about.

It's absolutely horrendous and I love it

This is going to sound dumb probably, but when when people say "don't re-use addresses", they mean generate / provide a different public address for each payment / invoice you wish to accept BTC?

Is it necessary to use a different mnemonic / private key or is it sufficient to use different public addresses from the same private key by increasing the index?

Uh ser that's my gag

"Seriously, wtf is wrong with that guy?"

"Resigns"... That's putting it lightly. NHL commissioners resign, but this..
