    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah, I had several on a paper wallet for a while at a low basis. For me, I took profit and called it a day. The thought of that burning up in a fire was hard to keep out of the back of your mind.

    The Quinfall

    Totally massive scale. Seemingly impossible claims. Turkish. Why does this sound familiar? https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/three-year-cruise-canceled-weeks-before-shoving-off-after-woman-sold-apartment-join-unique-voyage In all seriousness, it is surprising how far along the game is...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    There's obviously a ton of material available discussing what supplements can help you gain muscle. I'm largely of the opinion that most of these are really helpful if you don't have a balanced diet (so maybe helpful while cutting on a deep calorie restriction for example). Anabolic steroids...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    I would just wipe them with a light coat of mineral oil once a month or so. You can wipe that mostly dry afterwards and the oil should provide a barrier to any oxidation.

    2023-2024 College Football. And then there were 4

    After last week's game with New Mexico State I assumed our secondary was going to get reamed. I'm happy it was as close as it was. Long-time dawgs fan all-of-a-sudden.

    Investing General Discussion

    Yeah, the major automakers at least can (to some extent) retool existing capital to build these products. That said, it looks like they have overplayed their hands in that regard as EV sales aren't hitting their marks. I suspect the return trip to build ICE vehicles (internal combustion...

    Investing General Discussion

    I actually bought in on some AMD a week or so ago for a long position. I think the AI chip market has a lot of demand with limited supply as Nvidia looks to be a year or so out on increasing their supply significantly and Intel is struggling to get off the ground in that market. Provided their...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    So an ASIC for a specific neural pattern (in this case heart monitor sensor data) to be more agile. You'd think there will be tons of this going forward where specific AI solutions are found and of course would be more efficient than modeling it via software (think how much more potent crypo...

    The Continental: From the World of John Wick

    Yeah, that's the impression I was getting. Also the '69 mustang being tied to Winston (but later owned by Wick); that poor car has been through a lot. I don't know if that's where the story goes, but it seems plausibile and would explain Winston's soft spot for John.

    The Continental: From the World of John Wick

    Just a hunch, but that's totally John Wick's mom and that would make Winston his uncle.

    Terrible Jokes Thread

    A man and his ex-wife fight over custody of their children. The judge first asks the ex-wife to give him a reason why she should have the child. "I had him in my womb for 9 months, so he is mine" The judge is almost convinced but must first see the man's side. So the judge asks the man why he...

    I agree, it's likely much of the labor content will go to lower cost countries. The other issue that arises is that even if a percentage of the vehicle remains in the US, the higher labor cost will make automation more lucrative. It's a suicidal strategy on the UAWs part.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    There are craters on Venus, but only large ones as smaller impactors burn up and medium sized ones explode, with the smaller pieces then burning up, due to frictional heating as the atmosphere is 90x more dense than Earth's. Only truly massive impactors make it to the ground there and you won't...

    From

    A thought from the last episode... Is Victor like Relm from FF6, in that the drawings he makes somehow affect reality (maybe he isn't aware of this because of his mental capacity)?

    Terrible & appealing invention ideas

    Wheel of Fortune, but all of the puzzles are hard-R rated. Ryan Reynolds is the host.
