Sounds like you have a level of self realization which is putting you well on your way to doing right by your kids sir, if I'm any judge of it. I was actually raised by my grandparents, so I can fully empathize. My grandfather passed in 97, my grandmother passed in 2010. A day doesn't pass I...

It might not, but then why not take a character and simply make a change to their story, WITHOUT any gender/race swapping?

OK.. so far I have heard some generalized reviews. I have been holding off until the season is done for bingeability. But so far the consistent theme is : Take a white, male character... then gender and/or race swap them... then show how the gender/race swapped version is just better all...

You're right, life is in fact shit. The world is out to kill you from the moment you're born. Any happiness you find or experience is because either you made effort to craft a less shitty world for yourself, or someone else did. This doesn't change a single thing about your life, by the way...

I leave the prepper work to @Mrs. Haus , although that is a point. If both stock and crypto markets correct hard that would mean even with inflation the dollar would be the "least of three evils", short of us going true old school German levels of hyperinflation. But if that happens it would...

Yes, which is what gives me trepidation as right now every instinct I have says to be as far from $USD as humanly possible. But in the event of a market crash (Stock or Crypto) having that dry powder is very useful. So it's probably a necessary evil. Right now as the wave rides up in Crypto...

Yeah, it would be painting a HUGE target on whoever the dev team were for a fast trip to virtually any countries prison system. I think it would be more likely that existing porn outlets would adopt decentralized crypto payment systems which already exist. And for better or worse neer do...

Let me know if you find something easily workable for US citizens on this front. I'm literally at the point where I'm hoping Amazon starts dealing in BTC , just on the hope that they would have a "how would you like to process your return? Back to CC, or to a BTC wallet" and it instantly...

I guess another question here would be how you define this "safe savings" as an amount. For me, I work off an extension of what I was taught by my grandfather growing up which was "Estimate what your total expenses for a month are, and ALWAYS have at least 6 months worth available to you". In...

The way I see it I operate on a scale of how essential the money it. The stuff in cash/stable coins are the funds I know I need to always have stable and available (i.e. the true "emergency" fund). Above that I shift to less risk-averse storage as a means to try to grow that egg more. Also...

I have a tiered approach.... This is for my "emergency"/stash liquidity pool. I call this pool of assets overall my "liquid fund", meaning it's assets I can easily liquidate if needed. Right now it's heavily in crypto, but with stocks, "savings", an on hand cash fund, and a very small cache...

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.

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...

Turning hard drives into Xmas paperweights.....

OK, did someone actually get a smart contract to work on Cardano or something? Or are overzealous fanboys just confusing it with some Gina Carano coin?

well $QUICK is getting listed on coinbase so at least today I get that fun Coinbase bump on something.

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.

Looks like they diving into the Dada storyline... this will either be brilliant of utter crap. I see no way of an "in between" with this. For reference to exactly how weird that will get : Brotherhood of Dada - Wikipedia Although IMHO to do Dada right they need Nobody back, which means...

No wonder it's not pumping... https://hard-money.net/elon-musk-leaves-dogecoin-in-hot-car/

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...

Make the Elba/Cena buddy cop show and just openly mock Falcon and the Winter Solder, then advertise it as "The post movie buddy series we all deserved" This actually happens to some degree in the Harley Quinn animated series and they get some interplay time, including Aquaman telling KS that...

Ted Cruz... attempting to properly handle up on business.

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...
