Your Brain Doesn't Contain Memories. It Is Memories.
Therefore, this year I will put more priority on shared experiences with other people: I will treasure my time with family & friends. We will visit more places, an try all kinds of food we never tried before, and drink stuff we never had before :)

I've never heard anyone else lament the wasted CPU cycles spent on bitcoin mining, so this is just me expressing how we could've used all those computing power for more novel purposes. I could be wrong. I mean no offense to bitcoin miners. so please educate me gently, dear .

When I think about the more important problems that could use cpu cycles, such as Hilbert's Mathematical problems, or Riemann's conjecture, I SMH at the wasted computing power devoted for bitcoin mining. Such a waste, man!

I'm so glad i didn't get into bitcoin mining. I was attracted to the idea of decentralized currency but i could not get myself to waste cpu cycles & energy for calculating what i see as wasteful--because mining is intentionally designed to be resource-intensive and difficult.

Pretty cool to witness the birth of a black hole (or maybe a neutron star) which happened around 2 million years ago, but we're just seeing only now!
Not so cool for lifeforms (if any) on any planet around its vicinity, though.

Early Predictions of the Internet Date Back to 19th Century -Fi

Science fiction writers are professional future-dreamers, imagining worlds far beyond their own. With technology advancing at astronomical rates, real life feels more and more like sci-fi every day (for better or worse). So it’s fun to look back at those writers who, decades and even centuries ago, imagined what life would be like now—and some of their predictions were surprisingly accurate.

predictions, right and wrong, about 2019

The future is now. Back in the early '80s, we were wondering what the distant future had in store, what it would be like. Well, that -- 2019 -- is almost here.
