Holy crap, here's a pro move:
I opened up a bank account at a bank running out of Walmart, which allows it to have much better hours of operation than its free-standing locations or my current banks.
They're open until 7pm on weekdays, so if I need an in-person visit, I don't have to squeeze it in over my lunch break or drive down to an inconvenient location on a Saturday before closing.
And they're the only ones open every weekend, including Sundays, at regular hours, even open on holidays!
I'm particularly excited about a somewhat MGTOW-themed song. It's my third attempt. The first two weren't really good enough for any of the previous albums so they got cut. But this is a redemption for sure. Everything clicked.
Maya: "I love a good Viking tribal march."
Here's a taste of one song I'm cooking up for the next album.
I've been on a creative streak of everything from cheesy love-pop, to some Celtic sounds, to an upbeat chaotic anime opening song, mixing metal guitar with jazz piano -- a song which every musician involved can go all-out.
This next album has a theme of "movement forward."
I just released album 3, but I've been working on the next one while I waited for some things to line up.

PSA --
Black powder is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for modern gunpowder (gunpowder is also known as "smokeless powder") used in modern weapons.
This is specifically for black powder weapons (legal for felons to own). I also have a mold, ladle, and lead for making my own lead. I recommend using balls. Grab at least 1 box of lead at the correct size (currently for sale), to compare.
Black powder can also be used creatively for other fires and explosives.
@Tfmonkey You've said this error twice -- sodium nitrate is not what you need for black powder. Potassium nitrate is what you need. And it is what you get from piss.
The only ingredient I'm stocking is sulfur, because it's more difficult to come by naturally.
Charcoal is easy to make. Here are snapshots from my personal notes.
First, the ingredients:
I don't know shit. Don't listen to me.
