  1. do most here have a fancy autowinder or just set the watch when they wear it? was thinking of picking one up mainly to keep the day/date and moon phase correct if i don't wear it for a while.
  2. pretty sure someone could post a video of themselves tampering to twitter and nothing would happen. but yeah, heard on the radio that it may be known that the Mavs could not even match but would have to make much higher bid to keep him.
  3. i love JB, but he was done no favors by playoff basketball reffing. dude was getting knocked around while going to the rim repeatedly and not getting to the line so it allowed some of the bigger defenders on him to negate his quickness advantage or allowed help to get there and use contact to thwart the shot. That said, let's get him signed because we would be a worse team without him.
  4. ankle breaking crossover Jesus may be my favorite Jesus now.
  5. i made some atrociously bad fashion choices in early 90s in HS with no dress code, so this hits close to home. our kids wear polos and chinos (or skorts) every day, but can wear a hoodies over that. hoodies are basically the only thing the kids wear. That being said, how will the district handle cold weather or kids that cold from the AC? are thee selections from the Members Only catalog to select?
  6. lots of positives with co-workers. daughter just tested (at home) positive; probably got it at summer school. she was vaxxed with the under12yo dose right when it was available. slight fever and headache so far. definitely seeing a lot more positive cases in work/social circles this month.
  7. well, at least Texas has a well funded, top notch capacious foster care system on top of the generous child care and social safety nets funding in place to ease a working mother back on to her feet and allow her to care and provide for their children. JFC, fuck all these hypocrites.
  8. i would say a lot of the super high crazy prices are for sure (paid for by previous gains) i have been knocking around in the space for >1yr and still amazed at the money buying things at the top. There are ways to tax harvest legally and illegally by selling a high priced asset and then buying it back at a low price. but yeah, when people have made 100x/1000x on flips the ETH probably starts to look like casino chips. That said there never seems to be an end to people who perpetually seem to buy at the top. It's a running joke in the community that Steve Aoki always buys at the top and after he gets in a project it will tank in price.
  9. they are still worth $90K min right now. Granted, they were worth ~$450K min 2 months ago, but hey, you got a free invite to see LCD Soundsystem at NTF NYC earlier this week at the Bored Apes holder party.
  10. that was last week. now you are a pedo groomer if you don't fellate trump
  11. make it a gif or put it on social media (yt, twitter, tiktok, etc...) and then link/embed
  12. was looking at this at the Cosmo and it seems like the price was just a minimum spend for the bottle service. bottle prices were $700+ and way on up but the terms said that if you did not spend more than X amount on booze/food, then you would be charged whatever the min was. I have never done it before so this is only what i read on interwebz
  13. yep, i have little trees trying to grow in the gutters on one side of my house
  14. do most insure their watches? any particular company better than others?
  15. need to start a 'dunk on crypto' thread, lol bought a little ETH and SOL before the Fed news. nothing crazy but a nice little 10-15% run. sold half and set SL
  16. why not? i farm out most of my important business decision to this board and twitter
  17. have seen similar articles citing that Millennials see jobs as purely a necessary funding mechanism for their lifestyle. obviously, that's a broad brush, but attitudes are certainly changing.
  18. ugh. had a post that got lost in the ether. but the CEO mentioned 'bets that did not pay' or something. i think they failed big time on their NFT marketplace and not sure how much traction they are getting on their own wallet, so some their ventures also seemed to tank. The swift cancellation of job offers and RIFing existing workers seems a little too quick to solely lay at the feet of a slowdown. but that's just like, my opinion, man...
  19. question, the turf is permeable, right? it would not count against any non-permeable limit for drainage? We went through 3 iterations of trying to put St Augustine in the backyard. Found one lawn specialist that said it looked like a fungus specific to St Aug was in the dirt and it would likely never thrive there. Put in a Palisades Zoysia last year and it's doing great so far in year 2. If this fails, would likely look at turf.
  20. But are they cutting staff because they know regulations are coming that will squash some expected revenue streams? or burden them with expensive compliance practices?
  21. NFT prices have pretty much pegged with ETH price (relative to the $) whereas before NFT prices would generally just follow market trends and the price of ETH did not affect the pricing of NFT too much. So everything is down and people are generally bummed out right now but still looking out for the next big thing lol does not sound like they are bringing anything new to the table. Opensea remains the dominant force in NFT marketplaces. I would expect this flop or not make any impact at all. Coinbase tried this and their marketplace got basically zero traction.
  22. lots of anecdotal stories from people rec'ing crypto to their families over the Thanksgiving break when ETH was > $4K. yeesh. I am usually pretty reluctant to try and on-board friends or family to crypto/NFTs because of the volatility and also i don't see it as a 'set and forget' type investment. ETH sub $1200 now. I thought BTC at $22K might be a good buy range (for alts) but not touching anything right now.
