  1. Anyone else confused by the depiction of a brain in that meme?
  2. Has anyone asked how many chickens there are in Greenland? I mean maybe Trump is a genius, and we just don't know it? (Highly unlikely, I know)
  3. Looks beautiful. You should be proud!
  4. Moved into our new place in July, so we haven't had a chance to acquire the "second set of" stuff. Yeah, HEB would have been a totally viable solution as well.
  5. The point can be argued, but I wasn't complaining about her choice for a permanent solution as: 1) the Solo cups are stored nowhere close to the dog food bin 2) the Solo cups are replaced by the same person that is responsible for taking out the garbage and the recycling There's literally a shredded Solo cup sitting in the bin, now. I've held off on replacing it in anticipation of this epic solution.
  6. The whole point was to leave the scoop in with the dog food. I'll let you guess how many times the Solo cups get washed.
  7. Well, I made a solid recovery from the asshole zone. Admittedly, the whole thing is probably my fault as I left my wife unsupervised. About 2 months ago, she proudly ordered a measuring cup for our dogs' food on Amazon. I didn't really think anything of it, as we have two dogs: one gets 1 cup of food per meal, the other gets two cups of food per meal. Our current solution has been to use a red Solo cup until it ultimately self destructs, and we replace it with another one, so I fully supported this purchase. Before Christmas, my wife informs me that the measuring cup isn't expected to arrive until after Christmas, as it's coming from the UK. This should have raised some flags, but I let it go. Today, the long anticipated day arrived and she showed me the measuring cup: I started laughing as soon as I saw it, which immediately led to her getting upset and telling me that she figured we could use it for other things like measuring food in the kitchen. I held off on the obvious issue with not wanting my food being measured with the same device we use for dog food. I was able to take the edge off with some kind words and affection. Needless to say, I ordered this today: It arrives tomorrow.
  8. Tell me you're on the stonks thread, without telling me you're on the stonks thread.
  9. I think we'll see a slight pullback (mid-$80k) before the run to $100k, but I'm not selling what I hold.
  10. Second question, can you explain how BTC is leveraged? Specifically, more leveraged than any other "real asset" that people can invest in? I'm fully aware of the fact that people are buying BTC on margin, and companies like MSTR have used debt to acquire BTC, but how is this any different than the stock market or mortgages? The introduction of options trading against IBIT does add more leverage, but I'd argue that we haven't gotten to the point where you can leverage leverage on BTC the way you can with many investments. So, is the leverage just worse because it's Bitcoin, or is there some way in which people are getting significantly more leverage on their BTC investments than other "real investments?"
  11. So, it's safe to say that your primary argument is less about a 51% attack, and more about the code being hacked. If that's the case, is it safe to say that I should have the same level of concern for a BTC hack as I have for my Fidelity account being hacked? If that's your point, then sure, I'll accept it, but in that situation, we're going to have much bigger problems, as I think it's safe to say, unless BTC flips the banking industry, hackers will be going after the bigger fish first.
  12. Sounds good. First question - do you think that a 51% attack on Bitcoin is a legit concern? You mentioned it in the past few pages, was that some sort of brain fart, or can you provide an explanation for how this could happen without the price of Bitcoin going parabolic (I think $1 million/BTC would be a very conservative number if an attempt was made).
