    In my experience this day and age you can actually go review looking on dentists. In my case my Dental insurance website had a good picker which had links to various reviews. There was one that was close to Chez Haus and had solid enough reviews. I scheduled my first visit for something I...

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    You just have to realize... The league itself was the other team in the Luka trade. Luka for AD and some scrap pick? Makes no sense.. Luka for AD and the 1st pick next year? That trade would make some sense. League gets the next Superstar in the premier market. Mavs get to start building...

    I wouldn't mind Vegas being shown the door by Edmonton. The only upside to Vegas advancing would be if they Stars also advance, as to see the Stars unleash some payback for the Miro injury. Well that and it would give me an excuse to price a game in LV to have an excuse for @Mrs. Haus and I...

    Which still shouldn't make it that much harder. I have Electrum (Bitcoin wallet) on my phone. Any place can scan the QR code it pops up to send BTC into the wallet. If I go to a currency exchanger I don't have to do any KYC, I had them dollars, they hand me euros, or whatever. There are...

    This highlights what I still consider one of the biggest issues with crypto. We need easy and fluid on and off ramps between crypto and fiat. I can go to any number of places around Dallas and exchange dollars for pesos, euros, or any number of other currencies. Why is Crypto different at...

    This is true, but what he can do, as Biden did, was mandate that "Medicare and medicaid simply won't pay over a certain amount for a given drug, and that price is determined by whatever we find the lowest price you're selling it for elsewhere is". They will fight it again, but since the...

    My bet is they will announce a "deal" which is really just establishing a framework for further discussions. Market will perk a little, but I don't think it will cause any big sustained rally. That will happen when a real and finalized deal emerges, which I bet they're just hoping to have by...

    Yes, the computational needs are definitely very serious. As I understand it, how current blockchains handle this is that they have nodes running which process transactions, and those nodes share in the transaction fee applied to each transaction. Right now, if I hop onto Metamask and want to...

    This was one of the primary real world use cases for NFTs. When we saw the NFT boom/bust recently it was really more of a proof of concept run for what NFTs could do. An NFT, by virtue of being "non fungible" means if functions like a cryptographically verifiable contract. When you think...

    Did they just not call a single thing when someone opened the face of the single best player in the league? Did I see that right? I'm seeing an alarming number of things getting called that shouldn't, combined with things not getting called that should this year. And that's not just me...

    I don't know about that, since a lot of the early casting like RDJ casting and character were such a damn good match. Same with Hemsworth, Evans, Johansen, and Benadryl Cumberbund as Dr Strange. Not to mention, I don't think they can bring back the writing/story/production quality we had in...

    Go back, look at what the most epic/loved story arcs in comics were, look back at which characters were in those arcs, make movies that are true to those arcs and characters as the early MCU films were (back when Favreau and Perlmutter were running shit.) If you have to recast, then do so, but...

    This is the way. My company has went through some extensive nonsense and hoops to get to FedRAMP High (There is apparently a medium and high tier level scheme for it). And it's because it opens the doors to those juicy stupid Federal government contracts.

    Na, I believe that move is called "The Can Opener". You put your stick in front of one leg, and behind the other, then take the far leg out from under the skater. But technically it's the skaters fault because his left shin hits your stick and knocks your blade into his right skate. He went...

    Watching what is and isn't getting called across games so far there's a part of me that thinks the league just might be thinking they've "pussified" the game too much and are telling the refs to loosen things up enough to 'let the boys be boys' because they KNOW the actual hockey watching...

    I don't see how that's really disagreeing. We're both seeing aspects of the "AI is coming for her jerbs" effect. With CRWD apparently it's AI taking over non-customer facing roles internally. AI over the next 5 years will becomes a downward pressure on job availability because it's going to...
