Married couples don’t need another dinner and Netflix date night.

You need something that makes you feel like people again, not just two tired roommates coordinating snacks, bedtime and the dishwasher.

Here are 40 date ideas for couples who want to actually reconnect:

[Oscar @HeyOscarx]

Your Smart TV cost $500–$2,000.

You plugged it in. You clicked "Agree" 6 times without reading. You connected WiFi. You opened Netflix.

In the 10 seconds it took you to accept those terms, you gave your TV permission to screenshot your screen, track everything you watch across every input, listen through a microphone you didn't know was active, and sell your viewing habits to advertising networks.

You also left it running on picture settings designed for a Best Buy showroom floor with fake motion processing that makes every movie look like a soap opera, oversaturated colors, and an energy saver that dims your $1,500 panel by 40%.

A home theater installer who's calibrated over 3,000 TVs across every major brand Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Hisense, Roku, Fire TV told me:

"Every Smart TV in America is doing 3 things right now: showing you a worse picture than it's capable of, spying on everything you watch, and running a microphone you forgot existed."

"The picture is wrong because it shipped in showroom mode. The spying is active because you clicked 'Agree' during setup. And the microphone is listening because the voice assistant defaulted to on."

"In 3,000 calibrations, I've never walked into a home where a single setting had been changed. Not one."

Here are 10 Smart TV settings you should change tonight regardless of which brand you own:🧵

🚨🤯 SEC JUST BLEW THE DOOR OPEN FOR XRPL

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce calls to end mass KYC data collection and pushing for zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) that could verify users meet regulatory requirements without exposing their personal information.

That’s the exactly private identity and institutional credential system that @DNAOnChain has built on XRPL.

BIS has already published the working paper on it.

JP Morgan had also published a report on “Private Web3.0 identity” and then connected the XRP ledger to U.S. Interbank Settlement.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins had also praised Ripple and Brad Garlinghouse after ending the lawsuit.

$XDNA IS GOING TO BE HUGE‼️

Elon Musk knew it for some time: If your job is on a computer, AI is taking it like lightning.

Not “some jobs.”
Not “in a few decades.”
The digital ones.
Coding.
Email.
Answering the phone.
Anything that is just a person sitting at a screen.

He called it a supersonic tsunami.

If you move atoms, you last longer.
Plumbing. Welding. Farming. Cooking.
If you move pixels, you don’t.

Drivers are next.
Trucks. Ports. Anything a model can steer.

Working becomes optional.
Not universal basic income.
Universal high income.
Anyone can have the products and services they want.
That’s the benign ending.

He also said there will be a lot of trauma on the way there.

That’s the clip.
Not “AI will help you at work.”
AI replaces the work.

Speaking of gold valued #XRP. We see the lender of last resort, The IMF, taking control of the XRP escrow. Ripple is too small to be so big to handle this by themselves. The doors have been unlocked for Ripple, they have been invited in to the houses of power..

Unpopular opinion:

Traveling is wildly overrated unless you're genuinely wealthy.

People talk about it like it's the meaning of life, but for most people it's just an expensive headache wrapped in Instagram filters.

You spend months saving money, then pay ridiculous prices for flights, hotels, baggage fees, taxis, food, and tourist attractions.

The airport experience is a nightmare:
• Long security lines
• Delayed flights
• Canceled flights
• Lost luggage
• $10 bottles of water
• Sitting in a metal tube for hours with no legroom

Then you finally arrive exhausted, only to discover you're standing in line with thousands of other tourists trying to take the exact same photo.

Everyone says, "It's about the experience."

What experience?

Being stressed, sleep deprived, overcharged, and counting down the days until you're back in your own bed?

For me, nothing beats having money in the bank, sleeping in my own house, eating food I actually like, and avoiding the chaos altogether.

Maybe I'm missing something, but spending thousands to be uncomfortable in a different location has never sounded like a great deal.

With 29 Yes votes Permission Delegation is
now also in 2-Week activation on the XRP Ledger! ✅

Big enabler for institutions, get ready to see them come on chain on the XRP Ledger!

What is this feature again?
Permission Delegation is compliance & operations building block 🧵:

- Asset issuers for stablecoins and RWAs need the ability to split roles (delegate) on the issuer account. E.g Compliance Team gets funds freezing role and the operations team can mint assets for customers, and ONLY that.

They can't do anything else (!) while using their own XRP accounts instead of all of them sharing the keys to the main issuer.

Large institutions need this ability.

@rootveg444 explained very well how this looks like for the RLUSD team at Ripple.

- We have also seen @HugoPhilion explain how Wormhole needs this feature so they can get a permission delegation for the RLUSD account to bridge back from ETH to the XRP Ledger, which in turn enables Flare to offer borrowing against your funds on the XRPL.

- Other token issuers might also find it useful, you can delegate certain abilities to a new account and blackhole it after like @msvadari explained to cap asset supply without bricking the account.

Very exciting feature!

[Vet @Vet_X0]

What's most exciting isn't $1000 price predictions or any price prediction really.

It's the XRP Ledger growing and get adopted in TradFi as we speak. Nothing is being handed to us. This is hard work to make it happen.

Let price be a knock on effect of this hard work that goes into changing the rails of the financial system and revolutionizing money like we have never seen before in history.

@SeismoSue @Nithya_Shrii That’s twice now you called me a genius. You’re going to give me a big head. My apologies to “THE” professor of radiology.

[Mike @RoRmic]

@muzikguy1 @Nithya_Shrii Now Dave, I enjoy music so I thought maybe you had something to offer.
I was utterly disappointed. I’m sure just as your ex was.

[Mike @RoRmic]

@mysteriousrona @pmwagner @Nithya_Shrii “Actual Research”
Well, hot damn. Sounds like you and Paul will have stuff to talk about on your first date.

[Mike @RoRmic]

@muzikguy1 @Nithya_Shrii From Dave, the lefty musician.
Got it.

[Mike @RoRmic]

@00AgentSquirrel @Nithya_Shrii I see…
Says that right in the study, fascinating!

@SeismoSue @Nithya_Shrii Sorry… Dr. of earthquakes…..

[Mike @RoRmic]

@SeismoSue @Nithya_Shrii BioBank study, good one!
It was nothing but a manifestation of fear in the human body. But I wouldn’t expect you to know that Dr.
Enjoy your vaccine.

[Mike @RoRmic]

@00AgentSquirrel @Nithya_Shrii Where did the funding come for this research?
I’m not trying to change your mind.
You either know or you don’t.
