Why is the stablecoin backed by another asset? That seems to defeat the purpose of pegging it to the dollar. You're basically saying it's pegged to two different things and if one fails it goes tits up.

Yeah, I'm confused by that. How do you "lose" a peg to the dollar? You either derive your value from it or you don't. Crypto is full of idiots.

Not $69.420 billion? Disappointed.

Father-in-law got diagnosed with leukemia back in early summer 2020. Even ended up getting covid about a year ago (we didn't visit for Christmas because of it), and despite having no immune system, still overcame it. A few months ago they started him on twice weekly transfusions. We were here...

Funny, I saw a headline (didn't care to click the article) about some guy predicting $250k by the end of 2023. I think you crypto people are hilarious. Every year people think it'll be $100k by the end of the (current year).

Yeah, fuck. That one stings. Didn't realize she was that old though.

So is this more bipolar market thinking the Fed is raising rates again, or consolidation (probably not, since it keeps skidding down)? If it's the rates issue, I really do wonder how bad this gets. Consumer spending is high, but it seems entirely based off massive amounts of credit. It's not...

I missed the pins once. Luckily it was early on in my lifting career and only like 155 lbs. Dropped it on my face. Knurling got my lip pretty bad, but I finished my workout. Most of my 2+ plate lifting came after I got the home gym so I was always lifting in the rack. Mostly safe, although...

It's back up. Again...

Actually I'm not sure @Masakari actually lifts. And I forgot about giant black nerd @Brahma, who's a brick shithouse.

Only like 3 of us (and 2 of us are miscers). The other one is a dog fucker. But no one on the misc lifts anymore either, so yeah. https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/arkks-weight-lifting-fitness-thread.68/

Katya is like the misc's version of MFF.

This shit down again? Wanted to read misc's take on the Musk drop, and all I'm getting is database errors.

Yeah, they'll be mutual funds (VTSAX) out of our taxable account. I've mostly been hoping we can hit 4100 for the first bit I sell. But with only a month left of the year, the time is running out for me to sell. It's a big risk waiting for a Santa rally at the end of the year, cause we could...

Damnit, I strongly considered putting in a sell order for maybe 1/4 of our 2023 expenses yesterday. I'm not sure when Vanguard executes trades, as this will be the first time we sell. I imagine you probably have to have it in by a certain time and then it settles out at the end of the trading day?

I posted about it about a month ago, but there was a massive institutional buy threshold at I want to say around 4030. Once we hit it, it was off to the races. I'm still concerned this is just a bull trap, but I'm hoping maybe we can hit something like 4200 by the end of the year.

Disappointed that you all aren't enjoying it. Only read this thread so far, but it got me watching Dark and I'm really enjoying it (only a few episodes in, but I'm a sucker for time travel). Was hoping this would be just as intriguing, but it sounds like it's shit. Bummer.

This is what I don't understand. The goal of interest rate hikes is to do just this. So why is the market down today? Shouldn't a bad jobs report be good news? It means the Fed won't need to be as aggressive.

Those seem like Gen Z kids set in the 90's. Probably because that's what they are, and Gen Z kids are insufferable.

I thought everyone had been shitting on my pessimism that it'd drop back down? What changed?

And here I was thinking casting a black girl as a siren seemed super shoe-horned.

Yes? It was a comment on the titles. Thought that was pretty clear.

Only watched the first episode, but Guzman is just creepy as hell as Gomez. I imagine he's probably not in the show very much though. Raul Julia just ruined it for everyone else though. He was perfect.

It was similar, but the other guests were significantly older. That said, it was also Alaska and not the Caribbean like our Carnival ones. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised by people saying they saw fights and shit, or tons of super inebriated people. That's never been my experience. In fact, our...

We sailed Carnival a few times in the 2000s. Never had any issues and I enjoyed every one. Did an Alaska with Holland America for our 10th anniversary in 2014. Can't say we'd ever go on one again though. Much like our Disneyland trips, it seems like something that is now ruined and we don't...

Sorry, Folder, but Bubbles gets it.

It's not a class action. I think that's why it's weird. But it also doesn't really seem worth anyone's time. Unless you're a whale who has spent tens of thousands of dollars, you're not getting enough for it to be worthwhile.

I thought 1899 was going to be the sequel to 1883. So no.

The show I thought 1899 would be.

Driving through Nashville about an hour ago and saw a Rivian. Wasn't sure where else to post that. I laughed and my wife wasn't sure why.

So looks like it's 2nd week it dropped off a fucking cliff, just like the other Marvel movies recently. Any of you movie analytical people got any insight here? Seems like a bad sign.

Foler vs. Mudcrush Durtfeet - FoH made me do this. Bubbles vs. RobXIII - This isn't even a competitive matchup. What the fuck?

Probably need to separate the "company value" part from the "woke" part. For company value, Iger fucking crushed it. He really turned Disney into a juggernaut. But along with that, at least for the latter half of his tenure, it also allowed the woke part to creep in. Look no further than ESPN...

I'd expect their stock to shoot up off this news.

Guess the Mouse board didn't like the company tanking.

My wife has started to watch the US version so I went and downloaded the UK one. She said it wasn't even comparable and the US version sucked. I enjoy the UK one. Not sure I care to try the US version.

Yikes. Turned it off after 10 minutes. No thanks.

That doesn't seem like it'll work because a lot of that stuff isn't static. Or at least, it may be static but have multiple potential spawn points, like buy stations which can be in a number of places you won't see every time.

Foler v. BoozeCube - You stupid faggots kept voting for Foler even when I said he's been shawed all year, and now most of you won't vote for him anymore? You're all the asshats this year. Mudcrush Durtfeet vs. Bandwagon - I don't even care anymore Lightning Lord Rule vs. Bubbles - Bubbles...
