Our first foster puppy Fitz got adopted today! I'm already crying out of happiness but also a little sad we probably won't see him again. Muddy Paws in NYC is a wonderful org if you're ever interested in adopting or fostering 🥰

I went into my physics studying with an open mind on what I would like most. So far astrophysics still holds up as most interesting to me! I loved electromagnetism way more than I anticipated. I prob liked quantum a bit less than I expected (lack of intuition was strange for me)

Fully focused on Taylor's Classical Mechanics now to dive deeper into mechanics. First few chapters were mostly a review of intro mechanics. Now learning Lagrangian and later Hamiltonian. Brushing up a lot more on my calculus and it's fun! Enjoying author's writing style too

Unless they were flat out scamming, I don't think people should be shamed if they decide to leave crypto and pursue something that interests them esp if they've been in it a long time. I only don't like it if they trash everyone else who wants to stay and keep building

In World of Warcraft, there are raids with dozens of players where if a boss is defeated it drops only a few items. I learned guilds have different methods on how to allocate winnings e.g. some where "loot councils" would decide, others where leaders kept it, some more casual/temporary guilds did dice rolls

I'm really grateful to have had the opportunity to work with @dwr @v and the entire team on Farcaster. They have been extraordinary teammates to build with and learn from. It's no small feat they spent 5 years building decentralized social, not the easiest path in crypto, and I'm proud to have spent my time supporting them on it I care deeply about the mission of decentralized social and I strongly believe Farcaster is in the best possible hands with @rish @manan and the Neynar team going forward. I'm particularly excited about their builder focused ecosystem, after all @pirosb3 and I built Bountycaster before joining the Farcaster team and Neynar was nothing but exceptional partners to work with Thank you to all of the builders and community members who have made Farcaster such a special place. I've always been in awe of the concentration of talent and genuinely kind people. I'll be doing my own separate thing next but I'll remain a Farcaster community member. I'm truly optimistic about Neynar bringing Farcaster into the next phase
