    Yeah, I had several on a paper wallet for a while at a low basis. For me, I took profit and called it a day. The thought of that burning up in a fire was hard to keep out of the back of your mind.

    The Quinfall

    Totally massive scale. Seemingly impossible claims. Turkish. Why does this sound familiar? https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/three-year-cruise-canceled-weeks-before-shoving-off-after-woman-sold-apartment-join-unique-voyage In all seriousness, it is surprising how far along the game is...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    There's obviously a ton of material available discussing what supplements can help you gain muscle. I'm largely of the opinion that most of these are really helpful if you don't have a balanced diet (so maybe helpful while cutting on a deep calorie restriction for example). Anabolic steroids...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    I would just wipe them with a light coat of mineral oil once a month or so. You can wipe that mostly dry afterwards and the oil should provide a barrier to any oxidation.

    2023-2024 College Football. And then there were 4

    After last week's game with New Mexico State I assumed our secondary was going to get reamed. I'm happy it was as close as it was. Long-time dawgs fan all-of-a-sudden.

    Yeah, the major automakers at least can (to some extent) retool existing capital to build these products. That said, it looks like they have overplayed their hands in that regard as EV sales aren't hitting their marks. I suspect the return trip to build ICE vehicles (internal combustion...

    I actually bought in on some AMD a week or so ago for a long position. I think the AI chip market has a lot of demand with limited supply as Nvidia looks to be a year or so out on increasing their supply significantly and Intel is struggling to get off the ground in that market. Provided their...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    So an ASIC for a specific neural pattern (in this case heart monitor sensor data) to be more agile. You'd think there will be tons of this going forward where specific AI solutions are found and of course would be more efficient than modeling it via software (think how much more potent crypo...

    The Continental: From the World of John Wick

    Yeah, that's the impression I was getting. Also the '69 mustang being tied to Winston (but later owned by Wick); that poor car has been through a lot. I don't know if that's where the story goes, but it seems plausibile and would explain Winston's soft spot for John.

    The Continental: From the World of John Wick

    Just a hunch, but that's totally John Wick's mom and that would make Winston his uncle.

    Terrible Jokes Thread

    A man and his ex-wife fight over custody of their children. The judge first asks the ex-wife to give him a reason why she should have the child. "I had him in my womb for 9 months, so he is mine" The judge is almost convinced but must first see the man's side. So the judge asks the man why he...

    I agree, it's likely much of the labor content will go to lower cost countries. The other issue that arises is that even if a percentage of the vehicle remains in the US, the higher labor cost will make automation more lucrative. It's a suicidal strategy on the UAWs part.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    There are craters on Venus, but only large ones as smaller impactors burn up and medium sized ones explode, with the smaller pieces then burning up, due to frictional heating as the atmosphere is 90x more dense than Earth's. Only truly massive impactors make it to the ground there and you won't...

    A thought from the last episode... Is Victor like Relm from FF6, in that the drawings he makes somehow affect reality (maybe he isn't aware of this because of his mental capacity)?

    Health Problems

    I wouldn't say mine is a theory (or even a hypothesis), but I have a hunch that too much of a good thing isn't just a saying. The MTOR pathway for example is key for protein synthesis and muscle growth and is central to strength training and hypertrophy in the form of eat in a calorie surplus...

    Health Problems

    So I had done much of that but maybe not to a large enough degree. I added nutritional yeast as I don't have a lot of B vitamins from food sources (suspect I pass through most of what is in my morning multivitamin). That didn't seem to make much of a difference, but I do think it makes sense...

    I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, but it's a difference and one I don't fully understand... So my wife and I are working through a ketogenic diet cycle. I was kind of curious as I'd never done it and there is some evidence to suggest the alternative metabolic pathway can help restore...

    They were gay in the books. Pullman was pretty anti-church in HDM (they are the bad guys pretty outright) and this was a jab at that.

    I picked up a hitchhiker the other day. As we were driving along he asked me if I was concerned that he could be a serial killer. I replied that the odds of there being two serial killers in the same car were extremely low.

    Has anyone had weird instance crashes lately? I had one yesterday on wave 16/30 in a Simulacrum where I died, but then couldn't get back in.

    Path of Exile

    So I've been playing a Venom Gyre Deadeye this league and so far it's been pretty painless to 95. Damage feels really solid and I still have several upgrades that will push effective health and damage further. I also like it because it feels like a hybrid range/melee build (the whirling blades...

    Path of Exile

    One thing I started a few leagues ago that seems to work well. Create a few tabs at fixed price and progressively walk the cost up as the league goes on. For whatever reason, when you change the price a few items sell (I'm assuming because it looks like it was just listed). You can then...

    So dicking around this morning, I run a Kirac mission with a divination card (he tells me I really want that card, #jlawyeahok). I'll be damned if I don't get a full stack of these. Why does this happen at the end of a league and not the beginning!? lol

    Prey

    Anyone figured our why the predator would use his homing darts when his helmet clearly isn't on his head? This is the question that keeps the movie back for me...makes no sense.

    Prey

    I think the cloaking was only used when what they were hunting had projectile weaponry. I noticed this one wasn't armored so much as the others so maybe that was an effort to balance the risk vs reward scale? I've always thought of the predators hunt to he more like big game hunts in Africa...

    Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

    I caught this yesterday afternoon and it really was a pleasant surprise. Some of the silliness reminded me of Hitchhiker's Guide and skirts the edge of being too ridiculous and fitting in with the world(s?) they made. It was also a lot more sentimental (perhaps a bit philosophical even) and...

    Yeah, I had an issue with filterblade's loot filter as well. Just use a text editor like notepad++ and you can find the segment causing the issue by looking to the line it can't parse and remove it (for me it was a specific cluster jewel it didn't like).
