I think your first paragraph adds one bit of context and information to what I was putting together in my head. Finalizing that transaction via SWIFT still occurs. Just a continuous process of trying to build analogs before deconstructing them to figure out the new stuff.

Are comparisons to credit card transactions applicable? Maybe I’m thinking about this wholly incorrectly but with a CC you’re really just transferring debt. Being able to transfer $1b in actual money… well debt is basically money since that’s all people use, anyways. And it is digital. But...

That’s the video they posted a few days ago. PSUs from Gigabyte. Steve also mentioned on his live stream tonight that Gigabyte was also hacked this week hah.

I don't remember your history in this thread so this may not be hepful, but if you aren't going down the path of shitcoins and are looking for something more interactive you could look at liquidity pools. That's been my afk coin farming method the past two months or so due to being so busy. It...

I've already got all that crap. EGO for most of the smaller stuff and just a smaller craftsman gas mower that was cheap.

My liquidity pool finally hit 100% on the maximum of the TRU per ETH, never had that happen, yikes. Thought +/- 3k on either end would be enough. Guess the activity lately has skewed that with TRU dropping the past couple of days and ETH increasing. Wonder if at this point it is worth pulling it...

Mowed a lawn for the first time yesterday, first time since I was probably 14 years old and saving up for my first car. Of course it was 97 degrees at 5:30pm with 70% humidity. Never dealt with it through college and my first home for 10+ never had a lawn to take care of. Paid a pair of guys to...

Not sure what I screwed up but was pulling liquidity and adding some to a TRU/ETH pool and now I'm not gaining any fees even though my liquidity spread has been changing and I'm within target +/- 2500 on the min and max. Last couple of times it has been collecting almost immediately. Didn't...

I would like to get back in to this to enjoy the story and single player content but the overall sour taste the whole game left in my mouth is preventing that. And I'm a huge apologist for money grubbing cash grab casino degenerates.

No idea how far I am in to it but not 100% sure I am enjoying it. Maybe the fast travel thing will fix that. It isn't bad by any means but something isn't enjoyable either. Will keep plodding along to see if my opinion changes but now it is a solid "meh."

Who was it that is the big proponent of the Nvidia Shield? Picked one up to replace our Roku and was going to try out the streaming thing if I can use it to play Plague on the couch with the girlfriend. Haven't even unboxed it yet. There's probably a better thread for this.

Man, I would... just don't know. Have to order a new gun cabinet for the house and have already spent thousands on furniture and workshop items. Hey what's another $800 on the list, but realistically my 27" + 24" is doing just fine... le sigh.

It is like minesweeper.

I think you're right about the switching part for sure. But original YouTube content creators seem to do better streaming on YouTube b/c that is where their audience is. A few have talked about that and how it isn't worth their time streaming on Twitch because all of their users are from...

Still haven't decided what I may want to get for this tax free weekend to replace my ASUS PG279Q if I wanted to.

Could have been one of two things or a combination, or none of them, but I noticed that even with vsync off and gsync on my FPS was spiking to 130-180 and the monitor is only an 120Hz refresh, I was getting momentary blackouts and other oddity. So I capped the FPS in game to 120. Second thing...

Somehow while playing this my display is locked to 24Hz refresh? I have no idea what's going on but never seen that happen before.... *edit: Eh, driver update fixed it, reboot probably would have also. Just the 1st time that's ever happened. Maybe the DP cable is going kaput.

Yeah, I use the 3M one with the quick release. It actually isn't that uncomfortable for the short periods I have it on.

Going to take a time out from moving and post how awesome the Best Buy appliance delivery people were. Obviously it varies heavily but I’ve never had a delivery service that high quality. Originally we had scheduled our delivery on Tuesday bc they don’t do Sunday and Monday and we weren’t...

rofl I didn’t even notice that. It says “Hooked on Quak.” Previous owner was big in to duck hunting. He had the space with all his hunting and 4x4 and shop stuff. Hopefully I can do it justice bc he left behind some good stuff fitted out.

Moving in to our new house, finally able to get in to the 3rd garage / workshop. Everything there was left behind so I’m pretty excited.

Yeah, I liked the question but had no guarantees that the answer would be good or useable. Guess I was more thinking from a coordinated effort from all those entities that have invested in the mining operations deciding which coin could conceivably be "pumped" next. That assumes a lot of behind...

I like that question though… do they dump the investment in POW set ups or find something else to mine and what would that something be?

A decent Metroidvania. I think some of the earlier previews made reference to Souls and Bloodborne, but there really aren't any Souls mechanics here. It is pretty straightforward Metroid in a fallen kingdom type setting. You can gain xp from killing enemies but you don't accrue points to spend...

Dammit, was really looking forward to something new to pick up.

Not sure if I want to go the Steam route or the Game Pass route for the eventual Xbox purchase...

Yeah just go ahead and cut that line of thinking right out and save yourself the anxiety. Congrats. We're still planning on moving Sunday. Was hoping to get in early but doesn't look like that'll happen.

Might pick one of those up for the new home office and the new house. There's 1,000 different versions so maybe just picking the middle of the pack is the way to go.

Yeah, my TRU pool was doing nicely as well. Only downside is that haven't / wasn't able to start up a larger one because of the holding period of moving out of Coinbase / Binance.us. Haven't paid attention to anything the past week b/c of work, so nice to come back and suddenly be closer to...

Is that a remake of TWEWY? Swear I played that on 3DS or something a decade ago. *edit: Ah sequel.. well, not like I remember anything about the first one at this point.

Looked at some of the UW today at Best Buy and not sure I can make that work with the multiple excel and rdp windows. Feels like I need those on independent monitors and not tiles windows in a larger ultra wide. But I’ve never actually done it so who knows.

I pretty much stick with RTINGS when it comes to looking for stuff like this. Are you going to see a difference between that one and the one they recommend...

Tax free weekend is coming up and includes Monitors now. Might give this one a look if there are any local at my BB. Otherwise may see what UWs they have.

Stepping back in to the “General Purpose” side of the thread, what are the go to for a work monitor or monitor(s)? Last year we were able to take our office stuff home but I never set it up and now I’m moving in to a house where I can have a dedicated office. Was thinking about going with UW as...

False alarm, renewed! https://deadline.com/2021/07/amazon-renews-clarkson-farm-jeremy-clarkson-season-2-1234797205/

Thankfully back down to $66 here at Lowe's, although I don't really like their 3/4" Birch ply. It was up to over $80 shortly b/c right after I moved out of my house had a small flood in the garage and had to have insurance replace 3 sheets. Been without a shop or house though now for almost 3...

Wasn't it /r/windowsswap or microsoftswap .... /keyswap? Seems like most people here talked about that and having 100% success without much risk.

Unpopular opinion time, but…. Playing through Zero Mission, AM2R, and Super Metroid back-to-back, Super Metroid kind of sucks. I’m sure 90% of that has to do with QoL things in the older version’s more modern remakes, but there are other things that stand out as well. Back on SNES it was the...

I’ve got a few books on backlog now that I’m reading more again. Hell, haven’t even finished Kharkanas 2nd book. Maybe this one will breathe some life in to the world again.
