While reading it I don't see the contradiction in two sides. side B is just showing the difficulties side A has, not contradiction.

Whiskey

Had some of this the other night. Delicious. Smoky, smooth, quick to finish. Highly recommend. 🥃

if you had to drink one whiskey for the rest of your life, Laga 16 is pretty hard to beat.

Books

Day 11: The Age of Gold 

This was great fun. The writing is good, it’s packed with exciting adventure, and it’s got enough history to feel substantial.

More than I expected, a lot of it echoes the tech industry: the frenetic energy, SF as the center of the universe, cycles of boom and bust. Even the $10 cups of coffee. 

It’s the early history of California through the lens of gold prospecting, but it’s also a set of warnings about our own time. 

If you’re new to the Bay Area, I especially recommend reading this. Even if you’re not, it’s worth adding to your list. It’d make a great book for an international flight. If nothing else, it’ll make you grateful that you don’t have to cross the Darien Gap on foot. 

Four stars for its type, but only because its type is so stacked.

Day 12: Dispatches 

A semi-cohesive collection of spectacular gonzo flavored Vietnam War semi-journalism. 

Chaotic neutral on the war book alignment chart. The author worked on the scripts for Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket and this book has a lot of that energy. 

It also created lot of the vibe and a lot of the tropes that show up consistently in other Vietnam War movies. 

It’s heavy on absurdity and you constantly feel like anything could happen, but it never gets too disorienting. If you read it in a single sitting, you’d spend the next week talking like Dennis Hopper’s character from Apocalypse Now. 

Five stars. Definitive work

“…some
          will
             tell
               you

                     there’s 
                     no 
                     hope 
                     in 
                     hell…   
         
               it’s because they feel
                     hopeless…

but you don’t have to be 
    a thing 
       like that.

you can be 
    a ship in a bottle set sail.”

get text message notif from friend. shows up on lock screen with the message. friend edits message and the notification just refreshes the text in the message itself very pleasantly

in all seriousness, why do people hang around here if they think crypto is so “mid”? surely you have better things to do then, since you’re so enlightened.

will never understand those who have been around the industry for years but seem miserable, doomposting and whining all day. just move on.
