  2. https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/breaking-news-taiwan-to-recognize-bitcoin-as-legal-tender/ I wonder how this might impact US-China relations if it passes...
  3. Hmmm.... https://infotel.ca/newsitem/eu-sweden-nato-undersea-cable/cp1563587425 Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is likely going to get his hands slapped for jumping the gun here.

I used a bad strategy and had to switch gears a little over half way through. A decent recovery, but I could have done much better if I had started out with a different game plan.
  5. Hey Whataburger - fuck Brad. Freeloadng dipshit. Narrarator just barely contains herself swooning over that waste of space. She should adopt that loser and see how long it lasts before she is ready to forget him.
  6. Dropping a feed is CNN's go to move when an interviewee counters the narrative they wish to push.

  8. Texas 24 KSU 23 126 yds punting
  9. I posted this in the Inflation thread ... it addresses that point directly (from 2020): https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/498902-now-is-the-time-for-treasury-to-issue-ultra-long-bonds/

  11. When treasuries mature, the government needs to pay the owner. They do that by issuing new debt (at current rates). This is from 2020: https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/498902-now-is-the-time-for-treasury-to-issue-ultra-long-bonds/

  16. This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
  17. Public (decentralized) blockchains are secured (maintained) through a crypto token economy (ie. a crypto coin). Smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain (or Ethereum layer 2 networks) would not exist/work without the Ethereum token/economy. The crypto tokens and staking mechanisms are inseparable from the blockchains. You can't have one without the other.

Saw that my score is only top 20% and thought, "f me". After playing ClickWord for a while now, I'm understanding a bit of the strategy, risk and luck involved. It's a decent game and doesn't take very long to play. It helps to have a good scrabble knowledge of 3 letter words.
  19. OU sucks.
  20. This community is funny. Some Republicans act like shitheads and there is a never ending river of histrionic "ALL REPUBLICANS ARE BABY BLOOD SUCKING VAMPIRES!". Some left leaning groups support Palestinaians and/or Hamas and "they don't represent ALL of the left!".
  21. I was a bit underwhelmed by the quality of the contestants in the last two weeks. There were a few actually decent fights, but a lot of boring cripple fights too. It looks like they saved the best for last though as this Thursday's bracket features a lot of quality bots. I expect to see some high impact carnage. Mladnic (SP?) should learn how to drive Cobalt in a training arena, not a Battlebots competition. Watching him struggle to control the bot was painful and frustrating. I thought Battlebots was supposed to punish bots for playing the Hydra strategy of just sitting in the middle and turning to maintain a face on their opponent.
  22. Someone got desperate for gold near the end of the trading day.
