Nobody, literally ever, in the history of the English language: My 13yo son, just now, on Christmas, reaching just a bit too far for synonyms for "father": "Mr Ballsack that I came from" Merry Christmas, fellow Mr Ballsacks and Ms Eggsacks.

Hi @hydrexfi, would you be able to help me understand Hydrex staking for @machines-cash? For example, I can't clearly tell from these screenshots: it looks like this option would sell/swap my $MACHINES tokens for $HYDX and pay staking rewards in $cbBTC? If I don't want to sell/swap my underlying tokens, would I want to create a liquid account? My understanding from the machines.cash team (cc: @accountless.eth) is that I should be able to stake machines and earn machines (and/or other major tokens?), without selling or swapping my underlying tokens. How do I do this in your mini app? Please also explain any locks that would apply to the underlying tokens and/or staking reward tokens. Thanks in advance 🙏

I appreciate the gift @base.base.eth, @jesse.base.eth & team

People will clearly pay good money to watch Jake Paul get beat down, hard. There's a market for that. He knows it, and he knows his price. When people throw money at you to do something, that's product market fit.

Currently enjoying the surprisingly restorative properties of mulled wine, which turns out to be unexpectedly nice when fighting off a cold. The instructions below are based on a traditional English recipe, with a couple personal adjustments recommended by the British friend who shared it with me. Ingredients: • 2 × 750ml bottles medium to full-bodied red wine • 1 whole orange, studded with cloves • 4 oranges, sliced • 2 cinnamon sticks • 8 tbsp granulated sugar • 1 whole nutmeg, for grating (I actually just put 3 whole non-grated nutmegs in the pot instead) • 2 tbsp brandy (I use 4 tbsp) • 1.2 liters water Method: Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Bring to a bare simmer and keep it there for at least 20 minutes; do not boil, or you’ll lose the alcohol. Can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving. Serve hot in mugs or sturdy wine glasses.

The holiday season is supposed to be filled with magic and joy. However, for a lot of us – especially my fellow Veterans, many of whom are dealing with stress, grief, anxiety, PTSD or loss – this season can feel heavy and isolating. The expectations, crowds and memories can be overwhelming: that’s okay to acknowledge. This article from the VA highlights how and why the holidays can be emotionally difficult. It also offers strategies to cope, like planning ahead, setting boundaries, honoring grief in healthy ways, sticking to routines and leaning on support networks. If this resonates with you or someone you care about, please reach out: talk to a fellow Vet, a trusted friend or a professional. You do not have to navigate this alone. If you ever feel in crisis, the Veterans Crisis Line is available 24/7: dial 988 then press 1; or text 838255; or chat at VeteransCrisisLine.net. They will help you receive confidential support from someone who understands. Let’s look out for each other this season. https://news.va.gov/144034/five-strategies-for-surviving-the-holidays/

An anonymous user account that parodies a deity launching a mint for ~2,500 JPEGs at $20 apiece just a couple days before a major global holiday celebrating said deity's birth feels a bit grifty, NGL. No shade intended to whoever is running the account, which I admittedly follow because it often shares rather funny parody: good game; but I'll pass, thanks. Maybe I just need to be more clever, I guess, if I ever want to get ahead in life. I've gotta admit, a quick $50k for Xmas would be nice right about now.

I hate getting sick. I turn into an absolute man-baby: I want to curl up and sleep through until I feel better, minimizing the amount of time I consciously feel ill. Only it's 5:30am and I haven't been able to sleep half the night. I hate getting sick and this is just the beginning of my man-baby arc.

kudos to @mxjxn - the mini app was a smooth experience on my end

huge shout-out to @thatalexpalmer.eth for being the first person to buy one of my artworks in more than a year I appreciate you 🙏 you now own the minted version of the artwork that I love sufficiently to see every day on my phone's wallpaper and feel stunned every time I stop long enough to look for a while https://cryptoart.social/listing/46

pleasant surprise for the first time that I can recall, FC Android app notifications opened to the actual cast or reply of the notification today, instead of just launching the app and going to the feed thank you, keep it up 🙏
