    I did consider a gamble. I just couldn't figure out if it should be long or short. Hype vs Nope, fight! Remember to sell at the top!

    They can both be BS and go to the moon... Actual quantum computers are not there yet, so I don't know what they are doing that cannot be done with conventional computers (as per the video). It's a hype/lottery stock, I guess?

    Marathon (Bungie)

    It was probably just prototype textures intended for internal use. It makes perfect sense to copy some art to see if it fits the game, instead of spending a long time on it yourself. And then someone screwed up.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I keep getting lost in this, it's beginning to really bother me. Just getting back from a fight I can be disoriented and end up going the wrong way.

    The part I am really interested in is not powerplants etc., but the infrastructure facing the consumers. In Europe this needs to be expanded greatly, due to everything going electric. A week without power and we are back to the stone age. I am guessing the US is facing the same issues, just...

    No one interested in this? Forecasts shows a rising need for electricity and Spain recently had a severe blackout. Electricity is critical infrastructure. Not sexy enough? Siemens doing well so far.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Because shit happens? Even sound reasoning can be thrown off by unforeseen events. Anyway, I used to work with a guy who farmed bitcoin at the very beginning $$$ He farmed millions and millions worth of coins $$ Unfortunately he sold them for 1 dollar per coin, and he doesn't own a single coin...

    Anyone investing in electric grid infrastructure? Any pointers? I have a bit of Siemens Energy AG (ETR: ENR) and American Electric Power ( NASDAQ: AEP). Was thinking of trading some Amazon for others similar to these. But Amazon could go up as more tariff deals are made, I guess. Thoughts?

    Where I live Tesla was the hottest thing, now no leftie would ever buy one. All because of Elon. It’s like night and day. They are still one of the most common cars, but sales are dead. People forget, though, so maybe this is just temporary.

    Less than 41 feet that's for sure. I had a picture where the camera said 30 feet, but I don't know if that was accurate. Felt like forever to get back up, so I usually stay way above that :-) Random snorkeling picture of a symbiotic relationship. The shrimp (in the middle) digs while the fish...

    Security is necessary, but it goddamn sucks. I can't count how many hoops I've had to jump through because of security. Gawd.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    All this talk about scaling is killing my desire to play :( I just want to get stronger and return to stronger foes and kick their asses. Gear, levels, etc., everything else is secondary.

    Edit: restarting PC fixed it. wtf is this crap? I signed out/in, redownloaded, but I get this error, and something about switching to the account I bought it on. Tried yesterday and today.

    Crazy... But does it matter if it matters? I can't think of a scenario where it would. That said, we could be like ants to Einstein. Not even having the capacity to comprehend what we don't know. Which is a crazy thought in itself. I feel like we could at least observe, and be amazed, unlike the...

    I don't get performance reviews, but all evidence says I'm doing good. Better than good, even. But when I look at old code or think about mistakes in the past, I just feel like I suck.

    @Khane @TJT Lack of job security severely worsens it, that's for sure. But I suppose that would get to anyone - impostor syndrome or not.

    Sounds familiar. I got trained in SAFe too, what a (release) trainwreck. In my experience, describing what needs to be done is always the weak link. It felt like SAFe exacerbated all the pain points of software development. Better sorry than SAFe. To be fair, user stories are always somewhat of...

    ...or you just have impostor syndrome. Hard to tell, case in point. I do just fine, it just feels like I'm always a step behind. It's not uncommon that I catch up in the weekend, and then enjoy the next week being on top of everything lol

    How do you distinguish between impostor syndrome and just sucking? I get it all the time when there is something relevant I don’t know. Enough to make me wanna quit some times. I have tons of experience, so I feel like I should just know stuff by now.

    Ok, I did an all nighter with my lawyers. We are still not sure if I can get two weeks of champion access, per six week season, by paying a subscription of $15 per month, as per this link, or if that is outdated and I need to pay a one-time $250 (or $50 per month for 6 months) for Pathfinder's...

    This registration process has more red flags than communist convention. I know a scam when I see one. I will still try it, though, since I know a guy who backed years ago and he is pushing. But jfc.

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    Taken to the extreme AI could run a huge evolving MMO, where even the developers don’t know what will happen the next day. NPCs literally building and expanding cities. Orc raids burning shit down. An actual living and breathing world. With a mastermind AI pulling the strings.
