    I mean, you could argue about minor details, but that's as good a definition as any. And my point is you can have "churn roughly equal to burn" anywhere.

    Ok, so take this example: Guy 1: Works at McDonalds making $22/hr. Pays $2,500/month to rent a shitty apartment with 2 roommates in L.A. Drives a Kia Rio. Guy 2: Works at McDonalds making $10/hr. Pays $800/month to rent a shitty apartment with 2 roommates in Harrisburg, PA. Drives a Kia...

    Exactly! A lot of people do. Why do you think so many people from CA move to TX?

    Here's a pic from google maps of a typical house in my neighborhood. Maybe you have a different definition of middle class than I do, but everything about this pic says solidly middle class to me. The current value of the white house in the pic is $1,268,000. It took me about 60 seconds to...

    Yeah, that's exactly my point. You can't determine the relative wealth of an area by average home value alone (or average salary). If you were to walk around my neighborhood and look at the actual homes (95% of them are small, single-story bungalows), the cars (toyotas, hondas, chevys, and...

    Yeah I'm sure it didn't continue exactly like that, but salaries are really wacky right now anyway. The lowest wage earners have gotten a much-needed boost, but most mid range salaries haven't caught up to that (unless you are one of the lucky ones with a good union, like UPS or UAW)...

    Well, following that trend line you'd get roughly: $765 in 2013 $975 in 2023

    Yep, I've still got an average cost of like 27. Nice to see it finally starting to fight its way all the way back up to my buy in point though.

    Slow Horses is pretty good, but The Bureau blows it out of the water in pretty much every sense. In my top ten shows of all time: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4063800/

    BTC maxis think all kinds of crazy things. But the more BTC-friendly leaders the better for anyone with BTC investments- or crypto investments in general, since the larger crypto market tends to follow BTC.

    Don't know a ton about the guy, but his crypto project is pretty... out there. https://worldcoin.org/ It's got some features that would make me hesitate to invest, despite the name recognition and record he brings to the project. And if I am hesitant to invest in it... well, no one is going...

    This is crypto my man. No true crypto bro is going to paper hands at a mere 100k. It's either mega yachts or eating out of garbage cans. Nothing else is an option. Except maybe prison.

    Keep waiting for a damn pullback to buy, but it's been nothing but up for a while now. I should just do everyone else a favor and buy- because as soon as I do we will get a big pull back.

    Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

    In p99 if you are grouped the pet takes zero xp as long as one person does at least 1 point of damage. This makes sense, as the last thing anyone wants to be worried about is trying to figure out if you are losing xp because someone's pet is doing too much damage. Dunno about inaccuracies...

    You aren't wrong. Talking with my people about just loading up Green. It seems Quarm has depopulated Green quite a bit. Chances are most of the people still on green aren't lowbies either.

    Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

    Pretty sure I maxed out 3 chars on takp years ago. Frankly I couldn't summon the motivation to play again on Quarm but my wife said she was interested in playing (surprisingly) so I decided to teach her EQ. That gave me the motivation to go through the process of setting everything up for...

    Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

    Yeah that's the typical rule set. I've seen some rules where the pet takes xp if it does more than 50% damage for a SOLO player. But having pets stealing xp in a group based scenario is just ridiculous

    Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

    Boo. I thought my xp was moving super slow. Guess i wasnt imagining it. That totally fucks my mage/necro duo with my wife. The rule makes no sense, especially for a class completely based around pets, like the Mage. Does that rule change at any point with an expansion release?

    Agreed. The whole "don't keep your coins on an exchange" things means a lot less if the "exchange" is something like Fidelity. I get a little leery keeping my crypto on CB or RH, but I'd feel as comfortable keeping it on Fidelity as I would keeping my retirement on Fidelity- which I do. If...

    AFAIK right now Fidelity is just custodial. I don't believe you can move coins on or off. Basically, Fidelity only allows you to convert BTC or ETH to fiat and vice versa. It's not a true exchange and they don't offer true crypto wallets. "Crypto people" aren't going to be very interested...

    Shōgun

    Totally agree. Would be a serious mistake. It looked like Mariko was doing some fighting stuff in the trailer. It's been a few years since I read Shogun, but iirc, Fujiko ended up doing some fighting stuff, but Mariko never did. Could be forgetting things though
