    I know, but I am thinking more for the bank 2 bank, and large corp to large corp settling of debts and obligations... Now just worrying about my sweet Russian AK parts kit getting nabbed by the man. ;)

    My understanding is that the ETFs operate on their own share prices. But this is also not my strongest suit and probably something for the likes of @Sanrith Descartes to be able to explain far better.

    The biggest thing which will "protect" the USD is the fact that being the default reserve currency right now makes it the unstable card that the rest of the global financial house of cards is pretty much built on top of. USD goes the whole of the western world's financial system collapses...

    Fair enough. It just sunk into my head because there's a BTC technical analysis channel where a piano player has worked it into a lyric about "Take the pole and slide it down and there you have the end" for bear flags.

    Am I wrong or wouldn't normal Bear Flag theory say that since the initial drop was ~$4, the second drop will close to match it? Putting QQQ around 274.5 at the end?

    I think I've been calling that for a while in the politics and Ukraine threads. Easiest way to replace SWIFT, just use a reliable cryptocurrency. Buy, transfer, sell quickly enough to avoid undue risk to market price shifts. It's backed by an immutable ledger, it's trackable. And it's not...

    Maybe, maybe not.... Depends on the type of sauce, vinegar based will do better outside the fridge. But some of sauces are molasses based, or essentially just really tangy tomato based, and those have sugars in them which bacteria feed on without the vinegar to keep it inhospitable to them...

    Well, regardless of how much of a shitshow USD is, the unfortunate fact is that every other country which predominantly does it's reserves in USD is essentially building a house upon our shitshow. The one thing I think emerging which might challenge that would be if/when BRICS honestly...

    Here's where I probably diverge from most of the MCU fandom in regards to this show. If they could do a purely entertaining "Super Hero Lawsuit/Legal procedural" each week and have an absolute minimal "seasonal plot arc" I bet it could be funny (kinda like that show Powerless on NBC was for...

    You need to realize that CISO, CIO, CEO are all "meat shield" positions to protect the board from liability. Think in terms of MMOs. They tank the "bad decision boss" until they have taken enough reputational damage, then the backup Tank taunts and repeats the process. It's one reason that...

    I will agree with this. I was a BIG fan of the 80's-90's She Hulk run, still have about all the TPBs on my game room book shelf. And she was definitely "Sex positive" long before it was a thing, definitely a good bit "girl power" before it was so much a thing. She even hypothesized at one...

    I'm more likely to believe that she felt Twitter wasn't that useful as a social media channel for her, and more useful as a martyr to stir up buzz around her and this and whatever other projects she may have rolling along.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I found it entertaining that on the splash page looping video I see on Amazon's front page for this nonsense it doesn't show a SINGLE ONE of the race/gender swapped characters. Just a bunch of lilly white folks doing half assed LOTR cosplay... Better adaptation IMHO?
