For use cases like this, the automation needed to get the data into and out of a blockchain may make it a better solution than spreadsheets.

I think every 3 months is optimal, but I like the metaphor.

This is a good point. On the other hand, developer productivity in notebook environments is so high that iterating your way to correct code may be faster than trying to plan it all out in the beginning. There is also the aspect of explorati

You'd probably need to make it work with medium dot com, as that has weird embed requirements for images? You may also want to provide an option that generates a different meme/image if the api is called from the same page. Exampl

Apparently Phalanx CIWS ammo costs $15-30 per round (numbers all over the place depending on ammo type and age of information). On the other hand engaging a target typically uses 100+ rounds or ~$1500-3000 per target. Definitely cheaper tha
