I use those on all my office chairs, and the chairs in my game room. (all hardwood floors here) and they work perfectly to protect the floor, plus the smoothest rolling experience I've ever had in a chair.

They're probably finally realizing that all those customers of theirs who are doing an ACH to Coinbase or another exchange every month might actually not if they offered crypto. Galaxy Brain In Action!

and all this as opposed to... smoking?

Have none of you filthy heathens had properly deep fried turkey yet? THAT is the only way to eat it.

Yes, but that alone tracks with it's past performance. Where is acts as an "amplifier" of whatever ETH does (ETH goes up a little, MATIC goes up a LOT... but the same happens on the downside most of the time) The thing I'm noting that's different is that MATIC volume has surged far more this...

So, looking at BTC, ETH, and MATIC this morning.... All are following the same pricing trending, which I suspected. But I'm wondering if I need to be interpreting MATIC differently due to volume? Thoughts?

Also we're about to see inflation overall.. Before it was just commodity lumber price inflation.

Yes, but it wasn't to solve a "needs to run a long time during a power outage" situation. We live in an older neighborhood. The electric in our neighborhood has the occasional flicker/bump, the UPS is more that I wanted top tier line conditioning and something which could intercept those...

We're pretty sure it had been without power at least 48-72 hours. It had been a while since we needed to get anything out or put anything in. We have two, a chest freezer, and a regular refrigerator on our enclosed patio. The things in the regular fridge's freezer were all completely thawed...

I look at it this way... As an expansion on something I said earlier in this thread. I see essentially two crypto "worlds". The heavies - BTC and ETH - If you invested on this during this run (say from the last point they were at/around $30k until now when they've dropped back) it makes...

That "Spread it over all of the companies" approach is almost identical to how a lot of people approach the altcoin market in crypto. The downside is you lose 100% of your initial investment, the upside is you make 10x-30x if it blows up. This means moonbags on a wide spread of very new...

We've had a few summer storms here in Dallas. Apparently one within the last week threw just enough chaos at the power in my neighborhood to trip the power strip protecting the chest freezer we have. Unknown exactly how long it's been off, but the top half of the meat in the freezer had thawed...

Today was the first morning I haven't checked my crypto portfolio levels as I already know it's just a depressing bloodbath. As for the EU banning "anonymous" bitcoin wallets. There's actually no way to do that, literally because of how the Bitcoin environment is built. They'll have to just...

Pretty much what people pasted videos of. Melt down low temp metals (think things under iron/steel) and then cast stuff. This is an extension of my multiple 3d printers, and me hitting a wall where I want to be able to make things out of a more durable/sturdy material than plastic. Here's one...

I'll have to contribute this one...

my Bday present for myself.. because I don't have enough useless tinkering hobbies yet...

Mine's up somewhere around half a percent today... dunno what's up with your stuff dawg...

I'll start with a pic of my internal workshop workbench here at Chez Haus.... Currently I have the workshop left by the previous owner, an Electrical Engineer. It's around 20x25 and inside the house (part of the previous garage) The detatched garage I rebuilt a while back and serves as my...

I'm kinda wondering why it's taken them this long to come after stablecoins in general as that's the direct competitor to a CBDC. Just like there used to be laws outlawing any kind of legal tender other than USD in the US. Which is funny as they SAY that it's not illegal in the US to make an...

What do you mean... "If" ??

If you follow the character it reminds me a LOT of Magneto's evolution over time. Originally they were just a straight up bad guy. Then they became the bad guy with a righteous cause, just not going about it in the "heroic" way. (i.e. when comics realized they could cash in on angsty goths...

The OG Secret wars did involve the Beyonder, and I believe when they happened it was explained that he was essentially a sentient Cosmic Cube, and the accident which created The Molecule Man poked a pinprick between our multiverse and his, where he was everything. He was curious so he came...

Also, nobody wants to place a big bet one way or the other because all the indicators are saying "A big move is coming" but simultaneously saying "We don't know which WAY that big move will go" The trader who's analysis I trust most still does his analysis, but then also tells everybody he's...

Yeah, I have a couple things I was tinkering with on Polycat (like auto-compounding vaults) and testing out the pool function (stake Matic , get FISH). Luckily I didn't have a ton tied up in staking to get FISH. Does look rug pullish. I went on their telegram and to see the zealots there is...

For me it's an Amazon Visa. Not only does it have the lowest rate I have in case I do need to carry a balance month to month. Offers 1% back on everything, 2% back on fuel & restaurants, and 5% back on Amazon purchases. Adds up surprisingly fast.

You can do a lot more than networking over a cat6 drop. I know places that use them for HDMI long hauls for instance. In one house I had I used Cat 5 cabling dropped for surround sound speakers.... admittedly that was a bit ghetto.

For @Mrs. Haus and I the agreement is a maximum of one car payment at a time. When mine's paid off we will go as long as she can endure before wanting a newer car with zero. Since she rarely drives much her car is in surprisingly good shape. I also try to keep a nice sum of "immediately...

Is it bad that I look at that picture and can immediately point out how successful every single member of that cast (who has a penis) became post-SNL.... yet I can't even recall the women's names?

This is exactly where my conundrum in answering this one is. I'm good at math, good enough to know even if I invested in a moderately conservative portfolio I could beat 4% a year. Meaning it would be more profitable to invest and keep paying the mortgage as slow as one could. Same with the...

OK. I have a money management hypothetical for the group. This seems to be the best thread to post it in as one side of the hypothetical involves investment strategy... (This spawned off a conversation I have had ongoing with a co-worker involving personal money management) Say you were in a...

They already have an app you can load up like a gift card.... Only a small step to make that loading up a dollar pegged burger based stable coin instead. ;)

You wouldn't know this one, but for the Texans.... Whatacoin , symbol $WHAT

It wouldn't be a wealth tax to accomplish this. It would be to put reasonable anti-monopolistic laws into place to stop the mega-corp banks/financial institutes from wholesale buying the housing market. Or the easier answer, which is to stop having 0% interest rates from the Federal Reserve...

I'm not sure you really get the point of capitalism.....

Play communist games... Win communist prizes!

Keep in mind this is all my own personal speculative opinion and I Am Not An Economist Or Financial Advisor.... I would say now is a good time to be accumulating a large amount of wealth into inflation resistant assets , but probably not a home as home prices are irrationally high right now...

I think the problem here being that if we did a channel it would far more likely be @Mrs. Haus ranting about idiots/socialists/communists/etc while I play "good cop" just enough to keep egging her on. We could roll any game footage for the background while this occurred. heh Although I have...
