I've had an NVMe solid state drive in my Ryzen PC for the past couple of years, and it works great. But I never once considered that the NVMe portion of the stack could go over TCP-- that whole concept is mind blowing to me.

In other news, Charles Hugh Smith is my goto guy for "state of the world"-style observations, and he's in fine form with this piece. The article relates somewhat to what I wrote here; we're not in a "capitalism" kind of world like other commentators seem to think. In general, I like Hugh Smith's work because out of all the analysts, his takes seem most consistent with what I see in the world around me at the given time.

And finally, after having not bought any for almost three years, I finally splurged on $70 of "Magic the Gathering" cards, refining the various decks I already have built with straight-up superior replacement elements, re-balancing, and some new Planeswalkers. The new additions should arrive via snail mail sometime next week.
