  Kidney biopsy shows I have an autoimmune issue I’ll need to manage for the rest of my life. Thanks body, I really didn’t want a 2nd one. Not looking forward to seeing the bill from the hospital. Considered sharing my PayPal link on here, but worried it would just upset people

  You can guess what students did on that final Tuesday. Fast forward to the end of the semester: I still hadn't seen any documentation or user manual, and it was due on exam day (the first day of finals week). A week before the deadline, they told me I'd have it before our 12 PM meeting on study day (Wednesday). I got the email at 11 PM Tuesday after work. I opened the files, got pissed, shut my laptop, played some Xbox, and passed out before midnight. The technical documentation was just one page with almost nothing useful—no database schema, website languages, PayPal details, or registered emails. Just the URL and some unimportant info taking up half a page. The user manual was one and a half pages with maybe five sentences and three pictures with arrows. Zero real explanation on how to use the site.I showed up at 12 PM and waited about five minutes. No one else was there, so I texted the group. No replies. I started fixing the user manual since I'd clearly have to redo it. While working quietly, Damien finally walked in. D: "Did you get the docs?" Me: "Yeah. You guys really think this is finished?" D: "Oh yeah, it should be good to turn in." Me: "I don't know. I think we should add more—this is for our client, and she won't understand it. Where are Jeff and Kirk?" D: "Hahaha, we all got messed up last night after finishing the docs. They're probably still passed out. I'm turning it in tomorrow. If you want to add anything, go ahead, but whatever I have is going in. I think it's ready, so I'm not doing more. I have other classes to study for. I already have an A in this class, and Kirk and Jeff do too, so they don't care."He said the magic words, then left with a flash drive. I went straight upstairs and told Professor Matt everything. I said I didn't want to leave my client hanging—yes, my client, not ours. Matt said he fully understood and even praised me for staying on top of it and protecting the client's experience with our students. He asked why. I told him, "What you're getting tomorrow for 'our' project is completely unacceptable. It's unfair to us and especially to our client." I showed him the website (which he liked) and the terrible docs. I asked for an extra week to finish proper documentation and a user guide—I had a clear plan. Matt agreed, but told me to forget the docs since I knew the site. Just focus on the client .So I created video tutorials with narration, drove to her shop to demonstrate everything and show her where the videos were. I even built a simple desktop program with buttons that opened the exact video she needed, so she wouldn't have to hunt through folders. I gave her my contact info and said I'd be around over the summer if she needed help with the site or anything else. Afterward, I updated Matt, who had his own update. He nearly failed the rest of the group because they slid an unmarked USB under his door. He only accepted it after they emailed to confirm he got it. Matt also called the client, who confirmed I was the only one who ever showed up to meetings. As a result, anyone in my group who had an A going into the project dropped to a C. Anyone with a B failed. Damien's GPA took a hit from this four-hour class. Kirk and Jeff both failed—Jeff couldn't graduate, and Kirk had to retake it next semester. My grade, which was an 84 before the project, jumped to an A. The next year, Damien asked how I did because he was confused about his own final grade. I just said I did fine and got an A. He still has no idea why. Don't mess with me and my grades, and I won't mess with you.

  Lesson 3: Payment gateways need reconfiguring. Stripe, Flutterwave, Paystack, and PayPal both use webhook URLs. When the domain transferred to the new server, the webhooks still pointed to the old IP. First 3 orders after migration: → Payment went through on Stripe → WooCommerce never received the confirmation → Orders stayed in "pending" forever Always update and test webhook URLs after migrating a WooCommerce store.

  @MissTeeandMoo I mean hanging around the 18 year olds that were unhoused and trying to make a quick buck off of them during hurricane season a few years ago and claim she didn't have any money to give them after raking in superchats/paypal money should tell you that. Pulling a stunt like that in the state of Florida. I understand Rosie is *relatively* new to Florida and she doesn't leave the house unless its something that can benefit her like getting a PO box for her amazon wishlist (continue the grift years later). But she should have known that there are resources, if she *really cared* about helping people. Like aound the time she was helping them, according to the timeline of that feederism website she was on, she was new to Florida to begin with. She would have been the last person I would ask for help from when she could have done so many other things like take them to Career Source to help them find actual resources, set them up with My Access Florida to help them get TANF/SNAP, take them to the schools that doubled as a shelter during the hurricanes. But instead? She gathered money under the pretense she was claiming she helped them, made the claim that she was going into 'red' and then blocked them and is still making excuses as to why she did what she did. It's disgusting. I've been in Florida for a majority of my adult life after moving down here from New York and honestly? I would have been a better lifeline for those youths because I know how to navigate all that stuff. If they didn't have their education, I would have even went as far as to get them into a free charter school that would have been open to them until they were 24 years old so they could graduate. Even with that they only had to physically attend a class a day and the rest could be online. I would have told them that there are certain farmer markets that are open on Saturday that they could get more bang for their SNAP while helping local famers in the process when some of the farmer markets will take a dollar of EBT and match that so they could double the amount to put towards their monthly food. If you're going to claim to HELP people, don't ******* half *** it just to see how you can attempt to groom someone's children just to make a quick buck off of them and then say "oh well I was going into red myself but at least I gave them a few nights at a motel." That's NOT HELPING. Especially when there are ministries available that help people who would happily keep them off the streets and not be used, especially to this day, as monetization on YouTube. She has this fake savior complex and I wish she would leave this Florida like she is planning on doing because she has contributed nothing to this state outside of scamming people who live here.

  The night before SpaceX's fourth rocket launch, Elon Musk sat alone in the control room and everyone who saw him said the same thing. He looked like a man preparing to lose everything. Three rockets had already exploded. Each failure cost millions. Each failure was broadcast to a world that was increasingly certain this whole private space thing was a joke. The media was writing obituaries for SpaceX before the fourth rocket even reached the launchpad. If this one failed, there was no fifth attempt. The money was gone. SpaceX would shut down. Tesla, which Elon was also funding personally, would likely follow. Everything he had built since PayPal would be gone. An engineer who was there that night said Elon wasn't pacing. Wasn't talking. He was just sitting there staring at the screen. Completely still. Like a man who had already accepted both possible outcomes and was just waiting to see which one the universe chose. September 28, 2008. Falcon 1 reached orbit. The first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to ever do it. The room erupted. Elon broke down. Everything that SpaceX has achieved since, every NASA contract, every Starlink satellite, every Starship prototype, started in that one moment. One launch away from losing everything.

  $CRCL CEO @jerallaire rightly addresses the key distinction which I spoke about in my post yesterday that 'Liquidity is king'. Think about PayPal. $PYPL PayPal launched PYUSD. Everyone thought: PayPal has 400 million users. Stablecoin game over. Result? PYUSD barely moved the needle. Why? Because distribution alone wasn't enough. You need: someone willing to hold PYUSD exchanges supporting PYUSD OTC desks supporting PYUSD market makers supporting PYUSD liquidity pools supporting PYUSD all simultaneously... They didn't. Coming to OpenUSD, it DOES NOT EXIST YET. Except as 140+ logos on a spreadsheet. As of today there is: no circulating supply no exchange liquidity no DeFi liquidity no transaction volume What exists today is an alliance. An idea. The real test is whether in the future, whenever they launch it... Can they get: exchange listings? market makers? arbitrage desks? DeFi adoption? cross-border volume? That's where most projects die. The consortium structure sounds attractive. In reality, consortiums are usually terrible operators. History: R3 Libra/Diem Hyperledger consortiums bank utility consortiums Most moved slowly. Everyone wants influence. Nobody wants responsibility. Imagine tomorrow: JPM launches JPMUSD Stripe launches StripeUSD Shopify launches ShopUSD Can they create a token? Absolutely. But can they instantly create: exchange liquidity OTC liquidity DeFi liquidity remittance liquidity banking relationships market makers regulatory approvals across dozens of countries? No. That took Circle nearly a decade. Another example is Google vs Bing: A better search engine can appear. But users don't instantly leave because: data distribution habits ecosystem matter. USDC is live today and has: liquidity developers integrations regulatory approvals exchange support banking rails already embedded. Today? OUSD has: logos commitments vision Everyone is focusing on: who gets the yield who gets the fees While completely ignoring: liquidity integrations settlement rails regulatory approvals which are the hard parts. USDC has: actual usage actual liquidity actual network effects.
