    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Something that requires this much electricity is pretty easy to regulate and/or shut down if that's what government decides it wants to do. That's how they tracked down pot grows, remember?

    I got suspended on Twitter for calling Trump a fucking retard.

    Streaming Service with the Worst Product Name

    This is not about content or politics or anything else you want to throw in here; this is strictly on the worst brand name for a product.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    Like the stormslinger etc? I don't think those are very practical weapons.

    Investing General Discussion

    I don't think the inflation in the housing market has anything to do with the money printing. It has to do with already wealthy people taking their accumulated money and fleeing cities or expanding their existing homes outside of the cities, now that they almost certainly won't have to show up...

    I don't think anything Biden has to say is going to counteract the rush of people desperate to find a hedge against inflation and ETH is the best one out there that I see.

    Alright, I want to buy 50k worth of Ethereum ASAP, what's the best place to do it?

    Is it real demand or speculators with too much cash on their hands driving up prices?

    Just do the whole DLC. You get some insane unique mods.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Lol 6000 tickets? That's like 1 bad day at an MSP. TIL why we used SNOW. SNOW cloud performance is not great but it is better than that. My new company is still on their old ticket system from like 20 years ago, and in the middle of a failed/delayed/failed migration to an off-brand platform...

    Solo queue RBGs would be a lot better than solo queue arenas.

    Basically imaginary things that were worth 80 dollars a few years ago are now only worth 47K, sky is falling.

    Good money as opposed to what? The US dollar has been the most stable currency in the history of the world and it is not really even a close race when you look at the math.

    Heroes Reborn

    Season 1 was perfect and everything after was complete dogshit for the most part. Definitely one of the best first seasons of any broadcast network TV show.

    Yeah but it does include all the other times over the past 14 or so years that people freaked out and claimed the sky was falling over the Fed printing tons of money. The Fed isn't perfect, but they are neither idiots nor a nefarious conspiracy to steal your money through inflation.

    The other cause of the difference between productivity and compensation is unfortunately technological. In the 1970s and later, companies invested heavily into other forms of non-human capital, particularly computers and other forms of automation, to force-multiply their existing workers, which...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    You have little-to-no idea what you're talking about. Yeah, the 70s were a complete shitshow, mostly due to energy economics, but past that, "The Fed" has kept the US dollar's inflation incredibly low vs other currencies for most of the past 40 years. US inflation has remained as good or...

    America doesn't look particularly stable these days. It is not likely to get better in the near-term (25 years.)

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    The enemies of the US, namely China, know that the only way to take down America is to replace the dollar as the world's reserve currency. America becomes a 3rd world country (but with nukes) in a week if that happens. So China will continue pushing crypto externally while seeking to control...

    Cryptocurrency is just playing DopeWars with real money, and cash is a losing position. Both of these things can be true and are true.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Me and my friends did basically nothing but play Huttball and the other PvP battlegrounds, hit the max pvp rank then quit after the first month. I dunno if I even finished the raid.

    Rift was fun for a couple moths to abuse a bunch of broken builds and stuff. SWTOR was similarly fun to figure out the talent builds that would get us nerfed.
