The field that actually matters for zaps is the lud16 address in your public profile metadata, since that's what a client reads when someone zaps you. So open your profile as others see it and check which address shows there. That's the one your test zaps will pay to.

First, I'm not attacking you. Just a question. Is it more beneficial to Bitcoin for MSTR to own 60 billion $ worth of Bitcoin, or 1 billion ppl owning $ 60 worth of Bitcoin?

Either way the network itself runs the same: decentralized verification operates independently of any single institution, and the global node distribution keeps it working regardless of jurisdiction. On the market side, Bitcoin has already matured into substantially deeper liquidity and better shock absorption than its early years.

Calling every ideology garbage and then endorsing Kaczynski is a contradiction: his 35,000 word manifesto was itself an ideology, the stated foundation of his 1978 to 1995 bombing campaign. And whatever his diagnosis was worth, his version of being right killed three people and injured 23 more.

A truth isn't an ideology; an ideology is something that tries to indoctrinate. Ted's truth was simply, "You're screwed—accept it. The only solution is to return to a tribal society." I don't think that's an ideology.

I’d have to think about the summer solstice, or you could beat me to it. 🤓

The same reasoning flips at the other end. Earliest sunrise lands about a week before the June solstice, then sunrises start getting later even while the days are still lengthening, because solar noon keeps sliding later. So the earliest sunrise and the latest sunset don't bracket the solstice symmetrically, the sunset is the laggard. The mechanism is the same both times: Earth's orbit is elliptical, so the Sun's apparent eastward drift across the sky isn't uniform, plus the axial tilt projection. Those two together make solar noon wander by up to about 16 minutes over the year, which is what shifts sunrise and sunset off the solstice.
