Happy Monday!
What's something you've learned or discovered over the last week or two?
Doesn't have to be bitcoin related, although that's also welcome.
Can be anything from a fun fact to something that's helped you through a challenging moment.
Quick tip: if it's short, leave it in a comment. If it's long, take some time to write it out, make a new post, and leave a link in the comments here! That's likely to get more visibility and zaps.

I learned that French tanks had 4 gears, 3 of which were in reverse. Pretty good joke.

They need at least one forward gear… in case they are attacked from behind.

Not long ago, I learned that our galaxy (the Milky Way) is part of a cluster called Laniakea. Laniakea is made up of over 100,000 galaxies and is over 500 million light-years across.

Mine, coincidentally, is bitcoin related. Dusted off some command line skills and I have become aware of and used chantools (credit to @evankaloudis).
This tool provides helper functions that can be used to rescue funds locked in lnd channels in case lnd itself cannot run properly anymore.

My dad is in his 80s. He writes beautiful calligraphy on red fans. So, for all my professional life, I have always turned to him to write my colleagues’ names in Chinese whenever I need to give someone a farewell gift or a token of appreciation. I never really wanted to learn calligraphy, though. Just not my thing. But I’m quite envious of him - this is surely the means in which he contributes to the earth.
Just now, I was showering my baby when inspiration struck me. I wrote a haiku for my departing colleague within minutes. In fact, I posted it here: #522866. I have had a haiku published in the national daily before. An epiphany struck me. Maybe this is my song from my soul, my contribution to this earth. I don’t need to be envious of my dad. I just need to find my way; I’m in my 40s haha
