Family tradition states that whenever you reach a peak, you must perform a headstand. Think I might find a flatter, less precarious spot next time. (Not too shabby for 42 though!)

People sell the shitiest shit imaginable and have thousands of customers (unless they lie but why would they). I can't wait for the app I've been working on for the past three years to have zero sales despite solving real problems and having no competition.

Late night in Kyiv.
Another drone threat has just ended.
I cannot sleep.
Ordered some books.
The publisher whose warehouse was hit the other day suggested buying the books that survived. They have traces of fire or water damage.
They called the initiative ‘The Fire Didn’t Finish Reading’.
