  1. Any idea how the tickets/seating for the Cotton Bowl work? Is it likely to be 50/50 tOSU and Texas fans or is it likely to be weighted in Texas favor? Anyone know which team is the "home" team (and wearing their home unis)?
  2. I actually find Jesse Palmer to be pretty fair.
  3. I wish you all (even the assholes) good fortune in 2025.
  4. PSA: these browser extensions are likely tracking your browsing history (even when you aren't shopping).
  5. I also enjoyed Secret Level. Some of the episodes were straightforward stories set in their corresponding game universe, but some went pretty abstract with it. The animation work was amazing throughout. The story telling was spot on. The emotional impact was satisfying.
  6. 10,000th reply to this thread... If Jesus were alive today, would he drive a car (or van or truck)?
  7. So, my 4+ year old movie review finally inspired you to watch it? 😛
  8. Sorry for the yahoo link. This is the original source: https://reason.com/video/2024/12/19/no-californias-20-minimum-wage-for-fast-food-workers-did-not-create-jobs/

  10. I'm at 248,813 hexes covered (149.4k hexes discovered). Currently ranked 326 overall on the League standings. I should get a boost after I hit 250k hexes.
  11. It occurred to me that your comments were specific in referring to Marc Andreessen? If so, it's a dumb take as my interest in debanking and Operation Choke Point 2.0 was piqued long before he cast a light on the subject. It's not about him or any other "crypto billionaire". I was quite clear on page one of this thread with my interest in the subject. ~~~ https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-sp500-nasdaq-live-12-20-2024/card/majority-of-crypto-hedge-funds-report-facing-banking-issues-in-recent-years-Nat2gsEh0xPEleK6583O
  12. The "hexes claimed" display on the map post-recording sometimes happens immediately and sometimes takes several hours (up to half a day or so) in my experience. But I've experimented by: - record and submit a session while capturing virgin hexes - post-submission, verify that virgin hexes are not showing as claimed on the map - start a new record and cover the "virgin" hexes again - stop record and submit - check session totals and see if it shows credit for virgin hexes (spoiler - it does not) The database knows the hexes are claimed, even if the map display on your phone doesn't show it yet.
  13. I woke up this morning and wasn't feeling a walk. I had walked a lot yesterday and was thinking I might take a rest day. However, in the end, I put on my walking shoes and set out for virgin hexagons. I'm always keeping my eye out for shiny treasures on my walks and have probably been averaging around twenty cents a day over the last month or so. This morning, as I entered the parking lot of a strip shopping center, I spied a green bill on the ground. Turned out to be a 20 spot folded in half and stuck to the pavement from the night's rain/drizzle. Nice.
  14. @elfenix- that's a gross mischaracterization of my contributions to this thread. It's not like I don't have a history of ranting about issues pertaining to government abuse of power or personal and financial liberty. Do what you like, but at least be honest about it.
  15. The seed phrase is your master "password". Every wallet/address has a master password (or seed phrase). Even the wallet/address assigned to you by a CEX like Coinbase has a seed phrase (but they keep custody of it, not you). Seed phrases are composed of 12 (or 18 or 24) words from the BIP39 Standard and are just a translation of the random character string that cryptos actually use. https://cryptonews.com/academy/seed-phrase/ When you get a Ledger and set it up, you will generate a master password/seed phrase. You should safeguard this password. I got the Cryptotag Zeus from Ledger to punch the code into titanium plates. No worries about fading ink, water or fire or so on. With your seed phrase secured, you can gain access to your wallets/addresses on any Ledger device - so if your Ledger Nano/Flex shits the bed, you can replace it and recover access to your wallets/accounts. Ledger introduced a "Ledger Recover" service that is provided by CoinCover. Reading through their service agreement, it sounds a lot like its structured similar to what Unchained Capital or a multisig wallet does: https://www.coincover.com/ledger-recover-terms-and-conditions It is not a back door into the Ledger device. It's an optional service that distributes safeguarding of your seed phrase.
  16. FWIW (Random posts thread claiming the drones are DOD property first used in Ukraine. They are designed for measuring radiation and used for sweeping an area looking for dirty nuclear bombs.):
  17. What is your hesitation on using a Ledger? I've been using a Ledger Nano X for about a year and a half now. Works great.
  18. Clearly, market conditions are too tight and the Fed needs to cut rates. /sarc
