    It's pretty wild that it feels like the entire market will move on what Nvidia says.

    Robotics and our new Robot Overlords

    That's weird, I was watching that and thinking that in the not too distant future we'd probably see delivery robots. But it's going to rely on autonomous driving. And then I read your post and I'm like, holy crap, if they did night delivery and didn't really mess with daytime traffic, that'd be...

    Pluribus

    Guess the magic of guessing, week to week, about a show like LOST almost 20 years ago are dead. Someone will figure the shit out in a couple of weeks. Oh well.

    I was so tempted to take out a 10-15% bond position in our retirement accounts the end of last week, but I chickened out. Oh well. Speaking of tops though, I absolutely nailed our last living expenses sale at the all time high (whatever day that was, Oct 28?).

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Why would anyone be upset? I don't think anyone is hoping the game fails. I think most of us just see the areas where they're fucking it up and hoping they fix it. That ends up being perceived as attacking the game because apparently some people think whatever the vision they have for this is...

    Pluribus

    I rewatched the first episode with the wife to see if she liked it. The part where the USDA head is talking to her is the most infuriating thing I may have ever seen. Instead of asking for answers, she literally just starts yelling at them. "Are there are questions for us, Carol? Anything at...

    Home buying thread

    Am I missing something? It sounds like the compensation is almost identical based on what you said, except in the W-2 job it's in stock incentives...which, seems significantly less appealing than actual cash. Is it just that it sounds like a fun adventure?

    Ashes of Creation

    Feel like many said similar years and years ago. The giant map thing I've just never understood. Giant maps just mean lots of empty wasted space.

    Stranger Things

    Man, saw this thread get bumped and I was like...holy shit, how is this show still on? Then I saw it's only on season 5? I watched season one and it was good, but I remember quitting very early on season 2 (think my wife finished it). But that was a decade ago. 5 seasons in a decade? What the shit?

    Frankenstein

    At this point I don't even know where del Toro gets this mythical director status from. Feels like it's just nerds who liked Hell Boy, or because Pan's Labyrinth was good looking. But I look at his works and not only am I unimpressed, I'm confused.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    It's funny, RLM posted a video today about how October's box office was the worst in 30 years. One of the movies they talked about at the end was a horror Kickstarter by some YouTube guy, and they highlighted a comment someone made about how "we shouldn't criticize it because then people won't...

    I think Burry knows that being correct is the smallest portion of it, and the timing is what's really important. So yeah, I'd agree that those are absolutely concerns. I'm not sure they pan out within 2 years. Likely why his bet isn't actually that big.

    So it seems like what really happened is Burry made a small stake bet on the AI bubble crashing within the next two years. If it doesn't, he's not even losing very much. The difference in my opinion between this and 2008 is that investors are betting that AI makes the industrial revolution look...

    Weed Culture

    Now that I'm a day and a half removed from it, yeah, I think I was just unprepared for the whole thing. I definitely got way too high, but I don't think I was in the right mental headspace for it which led to some anxiety. I'm pretty annoyed that people can take half a gummy and get that high...

    The Chair Company

    It's not TV, it's HBO? That whole sequence at the bar and then that dude's house was fucking wild. I don't even know what else to say about it.
