So, I’ve finally done it – I left the United States for the first time ever. As I type this, I’m in an AirB&B in Lima, Peru. I’m sipping a cold beer, blissfully stoned, facing a window that overlooks San Isidro. My fiancee and I have spent months preparing and planning for this trip, and…
The name Richard Heart is relatively meaningless if you are not involved in the bombastic world of cryptocurrency. For those who dabble in decentralized finance, Richard Heart, Hex, and PulseChain are phrases that are bound to ignite diametric reactions depending on your ideologies.

American intelligence personnel has concluded that they don’t have the foggiest clue what UFOs are according to administration officials briefed on the matter. While the pending report doesn’t rule out the existence of aliens navigating our skies, it deliberately states that there is no evidence the UFOs are alien technology either. As Gin Rummy from…
