    The Suicide Squad (2021)

    Watched this last night and I will have to concur with the general consensus. It was worlds better than the first one. I found the first one a passable popcorn flick, but very meh. This one I was at least entertained by the frequent enough laughs to stick with it. I do agree the second act...

    I have a small pile of LBRY but it's small enough I've essentially forgotten it exists. What's worse is I hate YouTube and want to see Odysee take off, but it's service just still isn't that good.

    It's applicable. The reason is that when people say "You need to be able to process $1.0B a day/hour/whatever in transactions" in comparison to CC networks remember that those CC networks are ALSO the Debit card networks. So essentially it's just saying the "overall economic flow requires $X...

    That's actually fair, I should have said Cryptocurrencies instead of just BTC. I was saying BTC since that was what was being said directly by the originating tweet.

    The last thing this world needed was "A Very Special Brooklyn Nine-Nine"... Yet they have done multiple of those now and show no sign of stopping.

    Brooklyn Nine-Nine

    I disagree, you can say it for pretty much exactly that reason. They had a very diverse cast, including racial and sexual orientation diversity.. But that was never the focus of the show. Outside a few occasional jokes where the gay characters pretty much made fun of gay stereotypes.. It was...

    I loved this show so much... then they pivoted "woke" and suddenly we have the "Empathizing with Rosa being Bi", BLM nonsense, etc and I stopped. I want to say that was the first non-NBC season. If it pivots back, someone please tell me. heh

    I disagree that bitcoin will "end war". I agree Bitcoin could end Banking as we know it though.

    I would disagree with him on a fundamental level in that the adoption of Bitcoin and other immutable cryptocurrencies is simply taking the ability to manipulate wealth of the individual away from the government, which should never have had it in the first place.

    Yeah, but he's been teasing Smart Contracts for over a year... They recently did their "purple upgrade" which is supposed to allow the first smart contracts on their testnet, but nothing is on the live chain yet. I was figuring a surge when they actually released on the Mainnet, which isn't...

    Oh, I went through a process before disassembly. I have a handy USB dongle which plugs into the drive to make it an external USB drive. So each drive I checked to see if it would spin up at all (around 1/4 didn't pass that test), would it recognize on a system (another 1/2 of them failed this...

    OK, regarding NFT's. Maybe I'm just that last luddite but to me I still don't get real value in just trading "limited edition" JPGs. I see the real purpose of NFTs, and I think if/when that is realized we'll see the real market for them happen. RIght now though, and some of you Jpeg...

    Covid screwed up the filming of season 2, and there were apparently delays. If I heard right the first two episodes of this season will really be what should have been the last two episodes of last season.

    If you were dabbling in crypto I would say look into a stablecoin like DAI, then head to polycat.finance , and drop it in an AAVE vault. I'm making 10%+ on my DAI over there right now. I too remember getting stupid rates on CDs in the 80's. I was in high school at the time. Yeah, my...

    In any market really there tends to be a "leader" and a "challenger" and everybody else is an "...also". Right now BTC is the leader, ETH is the challenger, and the altcoins are the "also". For ETH to really stake out on it's own I suspect it will take ETH either surpassing, or at least...

    Odd... I'm making almost exactly what I was before. So either I'm lucky, or prior to the London hard fork my pool was screwing me.... Admittedly I'm on the miniscule level of mining, a single 3070 running in my system when I'm not gaming.

    Well.. in the comics they presented a lot of possible reasons for the "all the men died" event happening. In the end the author said they told the audience the actual reason, along the way, but also included a lot of red herrings. This was so that people would supposedly have to think and be...

    Unfortunately I agree with the fact that they will spin this into "look at the horrible position all those men put the women in (by dying!), they're obviously to blame for the fact that women never tried to get into STEP and/or make up half the industrial class workforce." And as mentioned...

    I looked at Ember Sword. They had a pre-launch sale of in-game land. I was interested, looked like $30-$50 per plot for land in the game. I figured I could buy a couple plots next to one another, play the game, see if one could make money in it, while @Mrs. Haus could play "player housing" on...

    I will admit if they had an MMO style game where you could turn profit on the level you can in Axie I'd probably be down with it. Especially if I could adapt the TSM macro set from WoW.

    This is where it's officially off the rails. The FIRST rule of making any law IMHO is to ask yourself "What's the most heinous way this could be abused?" Then assume it will be, and if that is unpalatable, then the law is unpalatable.... The Democrats failed to apply this guideline when...

    Purely entertaining real time visualization of fees and blocks being minted for ETH and BTC https://txstreet.com/ Interesting analysis is that gas fees have either stayed the same or gone up since the london hard fork went in, which seems to be counter to what a lot of ETHmaxis have been saying.

    Yeah, my standing theory right now is to own assets that appreciate, and avoid holding USD at pretty much all costs past what I have to have liquid to spend. I think it's that the US government doesn't know what to do if they can't control the financial world their citizens live in.

    Yeah, I see the biggest effect this law would have would be driving a bunch of companies out of the US (bye bye potential tax revenue), and make more people just start using VPN's and further disconnecting from the US financial system.

    And it's not even that complicated. You don't really need "when" in the equation.... Keep track of how much total you bought. (Total owned) Keep track of how much total you spent for it. (Total Invested) Total Invested / Total owned = Dollar Cost Average
