The Pentagon doesn't rule out much, but the Pentagon generally doesn't make the call to use nukes.

Congressional Progressive Caucus withdraws letter urging Biden to rethink Ukraine strategy, backing down in the face of criticism that it was undercutting Ukraine. Explanation: "Released by staff without vetting." ⁦

Yeah surprised it's not triggering more people. That was some savage troll shit for the mid 80s. I guess I'm showing my age. Most people on here probably too young to remember the feeling of utter disgust when you kill the final boss and pop right back up in the graveyard at the beginning of...

Probably already been posted but

Try not to take everything so literally. I don't mean dead as in going to zero. There's a floor for both BTC and ETH that is comfortably above zero. Plenty of people are never selling, and the floor has gotten higher with each ATH cycle, so it's difficult to pinpoint exactly where it is. I...

Agreed, interest in NFTs and retail interest in crypto has cratered and big growth tech stocks are down at least 50% on the year. None of that stuff is deniable. I don't think we are quite at the bottom though. Interest in big growth tech stocks and crypto is minimal, but it's not...

Still think this is accurate:

Pretty sure you need to post proof now 😏

@Hateyou keep in mind there are leveraged and non leveraged Inverse ETFs. SQQQ is leveraged, for example, while PSQ follows the inverse of the same index but is NOT leveraged. Basically, if you think you can time the market to ride the pumps and dumps, you can make quite a bit of money with...

Yeah I'm not talking about those people actually. Financial profit is a pretty pure motive, as far as I'm concerned. But if you're devoting all this time and (for some reason) emotional energy into something you're claiming to hate, week in and week out in this case, and you're not getting...

Yeah it's Gandalf. I think the fact that he's heading off on the adventure with Nori is laying the foundation for why he randomly shows up at Bilbos doorstep years later- he likes taking Hobbit buddies along with him on adventures. Also didn't you guys catch the homage to the part in Moria in...

The best part about the show to me was that the tryhard culture warriors that hated this show the most- the ones that were filled with rage- were the ones that couldnt seem to turn away from it. These dudes were watching the show as soon as it dropped every week, paying attention to every...

Cheers for the amount of the thought you put into the armor lol. Not joking. I was honestly more talking about the cities/environments. But I do hate stupid/unrealistic armor in fantasy and medieval shows, so I can't fault you. Nothing I hate more than "sexy chick armor." Not because it's...

Pretty much the way I feel. Solid 6 or 7 out of 10. I've got my complaints about the writing/lore but it never crossed the line to unwatchable for me. And the fucking visuals are frankly off the charts good. They really made Middle Earth come alive with the visuals. I see some awards in the...

Wait, is the U.S. the plane, the person drowning, the person climbing on the person drowning, or the ocean?

And this is why my only positions have been inverse so far this year. All year I've been listening to people say that things can't get much worse and there's going to be a rebound soon, and I should take my profits and run. But every single macro indicator has remained negative and many have...

Yeah that was awful. Lots of better ways to handle that scene. You could have Adar just say "Mordor" or (even better) just not have him say anything at all and close the scene with the shot of what is clearly Mount Doom in the background because, hey, we all know what it means. The cheesy...

You aren't wrong. Things changed a little bit (at least on blue servers) over the years, but VI took a very "hands off" approach to that type of thing.

Don't see Barbarian. That's my contribution to the thread. Movie reviews have been fucked for a while, but I've never seen them as off for a movie as they were for this one (i.e. it got stellar reviews across the review sites and it was absolute trash).

Print this out and frame it on your wall.

Yeah there's actually a lot of truth to this. You can fix raid calendars and queues with methods other than instancing and pvp (though I still like the idea of battling over spawns). 1. Make sure there is plenty of raid content to go around. 2. Spread that raid content out geographically. 3...

Good book. Bad monetary policy.

Still riding mine, but you're probably smart to get out now.

I've been sitting here trying to figure out why the crypto market was bucking the nadaq, instead of moving in lock step (like it normally does). This explains it.

Still a 7/10 for me, which means it's still entertaining and worth watching, if imperfect. Was worried we would be faced with PG fight scenes after the first ep troll fight, which was bad- but the fighting stuff since has been much better. I'm a picky critic and I'm enough of a nerd to have...

https://longreads.trust.org/item/Fears-subprime-carbon-credits-stall-crypto-rainforest-mission Long read about an in-depth investigation into tokenizing carbon credits in Brazil. Not going to be for everybody on this board (maybe not for anybody), but I found it very interesting. Might just...

VB clearly does not give a shit about the money and I think there are a few others, but that's about it.

Not a popular take on here, but I'm pro pvp for raiding. Fuck calendars and waiting lists- take what you can take. Of course, like you, I would probably never be able to actually participate in a competitive guild because I lack playtime, but still...

The big benefit to the merge (from an investment standpoint) is that this opens the door for a lot of institutional investors who were hesitant to back a PoW coin due to environmental concerns to start putting money into ETH. I think we will definitely will see ETH get a flood of new...

Anyone streaming have a site?

Yeah, Kilmer can barely talk. Afaik, Iceman's condition in the new Top Gun was pretty close to how he really is (not dying, but unable to speak much at all). Funny, I just rewatched Willow for the first time in 20 plus years. I had really fond memories of it, but frankly it didn't hold up...

For sure. Wasn't trying to suggest anyone overthink it. The show is definitely good enough that you can ignore the unrealistic things about it.

He got the weed from Tobold Hornblow and the fireworks from the elves. Not sure if anyone cares about his wagon, but we might get to see how he got his hat.

It's a great show, but you definitely have to suspend your belief a bit. In reality, a gang squad task force would have come into town a couple seasons ago and most of the cast would be in juvie or prison.

I think we're at least supposed to think it's Gandalf. The part where he whispers to the fireflies is an obvious callback to when Gandalf whispered to the moth to go get Lord of the Eagles to save him. Of course it could be an intentional red herring /shrug. It sounds weird saying...

I don't know, she's an elf- she has plenty of time to multiclass. I can see her having trained with the blade in her early years and moving on to explore the secrets of magic as she gets older. Elves live a long fucking time.

Yeah, Elon's is a bad take. We'll see where it goes from here, but you've got to be trying pretty hard to be offended at this point in the show.
