I spent nearly a decade of my life chasing exactly this, working through an absurd amount of obsessive tinkering in hybrid analog/digital processes in photography to attempt to perfectly replicate what my eyes could see but as an image on a screen or print on a wall. it is actually ~possible but very difficult. a side...
The area I live in is so dope that a camera can't even begin to capture how amazing it is. Literally, there isn't a camera or photographer that could make it happen in a single photo. Currently pulled over on the side of the road, watching the sunset. You had your sunset, but it wasn't this one...

very good point by @kmacb.eth though I would also urge parents to do whatever they can to help their young adults build credit. my hairdresser was telling me that she got her apartment because the landlord chose whoever had the highest score. she has an 850 (max is 900). let that sink in: to rent a basic 1br apartme...
The last thing I want for my kids is another FICO like score that ironically pushes people into risky behaviors with dangerous products.

many people involved with or adjacent to the industry make it their full-time job to self-deprecate and whine about crypto… probably in part because it’s a great engagement hack. really there’s not much to it. there’s a handful of crypto products or protocols that actually make money and are sustainable. hyperliquid, ...

here is the thing... pretty much anything in your everyday life can be a "hobby" if you sufficiently hyperfixate. you do not need to accept slop in any dimension. doesn't matter if it's socks, coffee, paint, baseboards, light bulbs, olive oil, whatever. the amount of effort required to properly research niches has ne...
