Probably both. I rewatched The Big Short yesterday. Hellenās video has strong vibes of the final scene where Mark Baum is speaking publicly alongside a Bear Stearns lackey who keeps claiming heāll buy more of its stock; meanwhile, just during the time Mark Baum was speaking, Bear Stearnsā value dropped 38%. Yellen obfuscates and drones while the economy burns. npub1lmqlpj0657jjset7ht5g24yw2zgdmgzdyzyur8acz4jmcf0wv06shm2ylp sethforbtc #GetOnNostr https://cdn.nostr.build/i/a80bd2d4a2b3ba368539e8544eb62b10c8095f7514f25900a7d861ea94a862bb.jpg npub1lmqlpj0657jjset7ht5g24yw2zgdmgzdyzyur8acz4jmcf0wv06shm2ylp sethforbtc I hate the term āmeatspace.ā npub1lmqlpj0657jjset7ht5g24yw2zgdmgzdyzyur8acz4jmcf0wv06shm2ylp sethforbtc This doesnāt work in the US, does it? npub1lmqlpj0657jjset7ht5g24yw2zgdmgzdyzyur8acz4jmcf0wv06shm2ylp sethforbtc Lol, ok dude š npub1lmqlpj0657jjset7ht5g24yw2zgdmgzdyzyur8acz4jmcf0wv06shm2ylp sethforbtc You seem pretty wound up.

I know absolutely nothing about asciidoc file structure or formatting rules, and I didnāt want to go down that rabbit hole. Iām fine with the ePub as is. Thanks again! npub1lmqlpj0657jjset7ht5g24yw2zgdmgzdyzyur8acz4jmcf0wv06shm2ylp sethforbtc That is the the command I ran earlier, only I had all the input files listed together. Doing it your way, I successfully converted all of the manually to HTML, although two generated errors: E[line ###] section out of sequence: expected level 3, got level 4 I donāt understand what the issue was, but the HTML generated anyway, so I moved on. After successfully merging everything to a single HTML file, I dropped it into Calibre and converted to ePubāit appears to have worked! If anyone wants the file rather than recreate my path, send me a DM. Thank you!!! npub1lmqlpj0657jjset7ht5g24yw2zgdmgzdyzyur8acz4jmcf0wv06shm2ylp sethforbtc I saw that before I posted, but it didnāt work. I still have 983 MB usedā¦ npub1lmqlpj0657jjset7ht5g24yw2zgdmgzdyzyur8acz4jmcf0wv06shm2ylp sethforbtc Lol, just yesterday I found that to review later š npub1lmqlpj0657jjset7ht5g24yw2zgdmgzdyzyur8acz4jmcf0wv06shm2ylp sethforbtc This is getting ridiculous. I got Pandoc so that I could compile the github files into an ePub. But the source files were in asciidoc format, so I went to install AsciiDoctor. That required Ruby, which I installed. (I also took a side trail and looked into using the AsciiDoctor extension with Visual Studio. In the desktop version, the extension search wouldn't find AsciiDoctor, so I switched to the browser-based version, then discovered the browser-based version of AsciiDoctor doesn't support exporting files to PDF or HTML. I switched back to desktop, somehow was able to find and install the extension, but then couldn't find the menu options to export any files.) I finally got Pandoc and AsciiDoctor working in the command line, but when I tried to merge all the asciidoc files together, I got a variety of errors. First I moved some config files around so my command could find them, but the other issues involve hierarchal structure problems in the source files. Wut? When I was searching for a free version of this book and saw the GitHub repository, I thought "Yes! I should be able to get this into an ePub in a couple of clicks." But no. It's been way more complicated than that, and I still haven't succeeded. I don't have time to work through this anymore. Why is this so difficult?!?!
