I got the cheapest aio water cooler, DDR 3200 ram and motherboard available and its lit up like a Christmas tree. But my 2 yr just sits there in my computer chair saying "Woah, awesome. Good job daddy." watching the lights. I was surprised how interested she was while I was putting it together...

I got one on Kijiji for 150$ under retail sealed in the box. A bunch of 5950xs dropped at a local store and there were quite a few people dumping their 5900s for retail or a bit below. I for sure hit the lottery but its a clear cycle that happens every time the local stores restock. I ended up...

If bitcoin doubles in value it's only 5 months! As someone who was a long term hold until several years ago and would be living a completely different life right now if I continued to hold it's probably best to keep the bitcoins and buy the cards with cash. Money printer go brrr but bitcoins don't.

I use nicehash because I'm lazy. It has an auto tuning miner and they pay you to rent your hash rate out so it will auto switch to whatever is most profitable. You just sign up for an account, download the miner and you get paid out every few hours with bitcoin. https://www.nicehash.com

My 1080ti is set to turn out 150$/month mining with nicehash and that's been increasing a dollar or so every couple hours. You might of gotten a lot more for those cards.

To cash out the rest of my BAT (on the ethereum network) on an exchange cost me 15$ worth of fees, roughly half the amount I had in the exchange. I'm really surprised the transaction costs have gotten that high as those fees are a real killer. In retrospect I should of exchanged them for another...

Just start talking about watches and he cant resist. It's like Foler catnip.

Sike and he's trolling the shit out of pol.

Can you two just fuck already? The sexual tension is killing this thread.

I've never liked the idea of psychedelics revealing gods, and I think there is a decent explanation of the action. Your brain is a series of older structures built on top of newer structures, each acting as it's own independent system running all the time but yet we don't perceive this at all...

It will be interesting to see how this pans out in the long term, if this succeeds and having multiple competing companies not only costs less but actually gets the job done while pushing ahead the technology for commercial purposes and these people are still bitching it's obvious they have no...

Ontario... looking at moving to a sleepy mountain town in BC deep in conservative country. If anyone had told me five years ago I'd be rushing to move away from a city to a small town to get away from liberals I would have laughed. The group think is so strong with the school system here that...

I live in a city with 400k people or so, I'm trying to transition to a small town to a small city that's more rural. People here are getting batty and I want as much distance as I can get from these maniacs. To give an example of what I'm trying to get away from, I had a friend's daughter who's...

They still killed Angela, so he still has motivation to take this forward. They had to kill off Mr Robot at some point to resolve that portion of the story line and making it into a rebirth of Elliot where he sheds his second personality freeing him to be something different was great imo. He...

The microscopic ones do, but something earth sized would last 5.668638e+50 years.

You can make methane on the moon too, most of the shadowed craters with water contain a decent amount of carbon dioxide ice. The moon seems more useful than mars to me simply because it's closer to earth and the gravity is low enough that doesn't take much energy to launch off the surface. You...

I had a funny thought, what if travelling back in time was a lot easier than we imagined and it takes an advanced civilization 300 years of advancement to develop it. In an effort to perfect the past they through their own ineptitude or through war to control the future end up erasing their own...

While it can provide internet to people in remote regions the real long term value of this is a second backbone in the sky that will provide lower latency connections than ground based fiber optics especially to some of the more remote regions of the world. The more satellites you have up the...

I'm not sure if it would be antitrust anymore now that Microsoft has added ARM support to windows and x86 emulation. I just don't think intel will purchase AMD because Intel will stagnate without competition in the x86 space and they will end up being usurped by an ARM derivative. ARM has a...

As an outside observer from Canuckia, Freedom of Speech is what makes the US the US which manifests in several unique ways. a) The US at least traditionally viewed people who got offended as weak and unfit for leadership. If you can't handle the truth then you have no business being in...

They always had cool uses for it but the primary issue was producing it cheaply. The manufacturing prices are starting to come down for at least small pieces of graphene and they're using it as a strong filler for things like concrete and carbon fiber. Now that we're starting to see people make...

A lot of things have come together recently that make fusion a lot cheaper to pursue than previous efforts. - Magnets have gotten way more powerful, this occurred to such a degree that you can take something as big as ITER and shrink it down to something that would fit in a small building...

I'd be hesitant to this is coordinated but a by product of the system we've created. Here are a few things that I think ended up with us in this situation. A) People are lazy and competition is hard and comes with risk, it's in the powerful's best interest to make it difficult to compete with...

More or less all of the characters are 1:1 equivalents to Brickleberry. They make references to the show brickleberry "What? This is nothing like Brickleberry.. we're cops they were rangers!" and most of the cast is the same. I was sad as fuck when they cancelled brickleberry but this is an...

I loved this, it sort of had a Akira meets Legion art style to it. I have to wonder how much of it was inspired by Psychedelics due to it's use of hallucinating drugs and a guide (in this case a computer) to work through your pain and suffering to free you from it. I'm really enjoying the...

The fairing has nitrogen thrusters to orient itself for entry so it can deploy it's chutes, then navigates with the chutes to the ship. I have no clue if they still have to move the ship around to capture the fairing or because the fairing comes down from so high up that it has enough time to...

Anyone want to avatar bet that the BFR will start flying before JWST?

That was the previous falcon 9 launch, they were going to ditch the core but decided to see if they could soft land on the ocean as a test. That FH center core is toast, it hit the water and turned into shrapnel damaging the drone ship.

I want to say having it land in the ocean opens it up to more a more costly refurbishment because the salt water can damage the rocket. I remember some of the parts on the space shuttle were supposed to be resuable that fell into the ocean but ended up costing a ton of money/time to refurbish...

It's a great mechanism for getting money out of countries with currency controls. For example China has their currency pegged against the US dollar, and for that to work they have to maintain a level of reserves so that anyone who asks for an amount of Yuan in US dollars they can provide it to...

Anyone have personal experience with DoomVR? The reviews are pretty mixed and the footage I've seen makes the movement mechanics look kind of garbage. I'm hoping this is something they can patch or people are just being finicky. I was really looking forward to this :/

It's a dangerous game to play for a company like that to hold bitcoin. The company who was supposed to produce some mining hardware that I had bought into ended up failing epically because the price crashed after they took initial deposits for the machines and didn't cash out. They didn't end up...

I've never gotten the whole gold thing. If there was enough gold in the world to cover every lady on earth the stuff from head to toe, then it's essentially worthless and you're arguing over who has the biggest dirt pile. I don't think the value of gold has any real tangible connection to an...

Bitcoin is in for a serious crash, and it's because of the technical limitations that the bitcoin developers are placing on the currency. Not expanding the block size or implementing changes to improve the transactions has caused the price to send money skyrocket from pennies to 5-10$ per...

I kept taking my coins and buying forward with hardware until I eventually bought into a steaming pile of shit that was a year late and didn't work and I sold the rest off to try and recoup some of my loses. It was a bitter pill to swallow, and I only recently started mining again (Zero Cash)...

If you're looking for big returns you're probably better off finding a bunch of lower market share coins with decent tech backing them. Bitcoin has major issues right now with dealing with the transaction volume, so much that it's becoming insanely expensive just to get the miners to validate...

The only way you'll see the bubble completely burst is if the tech fails or some new tech eclipses it. The reason it keeps gaining momentum is that blockchain tech is becoming mainstream you can see ripple as an example and bitcoin benefits by being synonymous with it. Long term it will...

I really like the guy, but I can't really believe that he never once abused his position as the head of playboy to get with a woman. Even the amazon mini-series about his life you can see he gets kind of drunk on the power he has at a few points. Though I have to admit, knowing that your life is...

They said it didn't affect the difficulty of combat, "just everything else". So the slider is just a joke, if it's anything, its mocking PC culture.

Could China be emboldened because Russia is getting away with shit in the Ukraine? The broken red line? I'm not sure the US is seen as strong as it once was, hell terrorism has proven that you can be hugely destabilising with a small persistent force even with the US military around. Having...
