  1. Finally arrived last night. freaking love it! looks like a different watch depending on how the light hit it. Soooo this won't turn into an addiction, right?
  2. thanks! how long until your powered servers get the change going?
  3. i believe 100% that collusion, fraud, theft etc... are discussed in Discord and Telegram on an hourly basis and then carried out. not sure i will believe any of this, though. be interesting to see who this person targets/purports to be frauding people as an 'influencer'. The murder stuff seems lulz-y.
  4. pretty sure you need to call 1800 CASHNOW
  5. still File not Found error when clicking on forum links at the bottom of the page. in Dark Mode if that matters. forum links at top of page seem to work
  6. went to the 6/5 game v Seattle. We took the doggo for 'Bark in the Park' day. It went incredibly well. the dog sections were down the let field line and we were right by foul pole. looked like Garcia's dinger was going reach us, but fell a little short. 100% of dogs in our section were super chill. I thought it might be a disaster, but i wish they could do more of these games. First time in the ballpark and it was great. much more open and you can see the field from pretty much anywhere in the concourse. Only downside was getting out of the parking lots. We were in lot V and holy shit, there was no one directing traffic there. nothing in that lot moved for 45 minutes. I could see other lots that either had a cop or a Rangers staffer stopping traffic here and there to let cars get out of the lots occasionally. but then they left early and it was hell getting out for those lots as well. if i would have known it was going to be that bad, would have wandered around and checked out the stuff around the stadium for an hour.
  7. would have been funnier if they used Nowthis' search history. The son would be named 'Peg'
  8. well, doesn't Sirois stream his gaming on twitch? Gordo can just tune out like he does currently for sports segments when Mike is teabagging 13 yo in Counterstrike.
  9. respectfully, you are out of your gawd damn mind if you engage with anyone on nextdoor, imo. especially concerning political topics. about as effective of changing hearts and minds here in the CR
  10. nah, bro. dude on my nextdoor feed has it all worked out. take the $30B we are giving to Ukraine and instead divide it up among the 85K schools in the country. That $300K each will get 'er done no problem. 90% of those who deigned to post a reply were like "This is brilliant!"
  11. amnesia inducing, huh? ok, go ahead and put that one on a pedestal.
  12. team back in here. i usually park far away in the first uncrowded spots from the door so usually can just pull straight through a double spot to be facing out; no need to back in. but in cases like a parking garage, i back in so it does not take a 5 min 15 point turn to try and back my truck out of the parking spot where the spacing between rows is tight. so much easier to back in vs back out.
  13. seems like they are having trouble getting all the validators on board to plan the restart. SOL NTFs were really booming before this. But yeah, i don't want to have to restart my blockchain like a bad router every few months. SOL has super fast and super cheap transactions, but stuff like this is just nuts.
  14. if you squint, it very clearly shows a financial transaction. here is a blow up of the area near the register
  15. Salvation Army will come to your house with a big truck and actually help you load up crap from the garage into said truck. you could schedule the date online. most glorious. They probably would have done all the ferrying of junk but i had an extra dolly and many hands make fast work and all that.
  16. da fuq would you need to go back down the same aisle 2 separate times?
  17. so they got the $335M at the time of mint - 55,000 x 305 APE coin. it's a little different in that the payment was in their own APE coin rather that just ETH. so people's cost were different depending on when they bough the APE coin and for what price. A bigger cash grab would have been selling in ETH and not promising to lock up all the APE received in the mint. They also get 5% of sales that happen on trading sites. They did a similar auction (Mutant Apes) maybe 6 months ago on a 20K NFT project that sold for ~3 ETH mint price (which was about $10K at the time). Those are worth about 20 ETH now (but only ~$40K since ETH is down). That netted them ~$100M in an hour (10K were given away to current Bored Ape holder). good work if you can get it, lol. I should have said "much better examples of cons..." My point is that Yuga has the best track record out of just about any NFT out there. Yes, they extracted a TON of money for themselves along the way, but have not been proven a bad actor and actually have bestowed a hefty ROI for people who held on or bought their NFTs at mint. My point was that there are tons of NFT projects that are straight cons (or rugs) where the creator tries to sell as many as they can and then just straight up shuts all communication down and bolts often to try it again. I have been kicking around NFTs for a little over a year, so yeah i track all this fairly closely. You are correct in that it can be viewed as a game of musical chairs. sharp traders find a way to mint or buy early and then sell into fomo as the price rises to people clamoring to get in on the project increases. finding the sweet spot is the trick. For instance, I bought one of those Mutant Apes at mint for $10K and then sold it 45 mins later for $25K as it sold out in minutes and people were scrambling to buy these on the secondary market. fast forward a few months and the trading price for those dropped below the mint price but then eventually rose up to $80K as news of the APE coin and Otherdeed launch were announced. - a lot of the time though, it never recovers from that peak that happens and those who bought at the top are stuck with a loss.
  18. not sure what they (or you) are talking about. Otherdeeds sold out on the first day. if the article is trying to say that trading of these NFTs is down from when it minted, yeah, that is completely normal. There were ~100K available. If the article is talking about secondary sales volume for that $780M, then Yuga does not get that amount. They get 5% of all sales on the 2ndary market. The mint was in APE coin. each one was 305 coins. At the time of mint, APE was worth ~$20; So $335M at mint. Supposedly, that coin was going to be parked for a year and not in circulation. That amount is now worth 1/3 of the $335M as APE has tanked hard after the mint (along with most other crypto). - 55K were sold to the public, the rest were given free to holders of Bored Apes. All the sales after the mint are from people trading with each other. Trading is generally fast and furious right after mint then it dies down so it's not surprising that volume is much lower later on. the overall volume of NFT trading is down substantially from ATHs for sure, as noted in the quoted article. I will be the first to tell you that pricing is crazy with NFTs. NFTs as a whole are down ~40-50% on the big 'blue chip' ones. But there are MUCH better cons going on in the NFT space vs what Yuga is doing. They have actually delivered quite a bit of wealth to their holders which is something few projects can claim.
  19. so i don't think the founding fathers foresaw a yearly defense budget of $720 billion. At this point every true defiance or threat from a militia against the gov will end like Waco just from the 3 letter agencies much less the actual armed forces getting involved.
  20. reminds me to get my little Honda out of the garage and fire it up and check the oil. don't think i have checked since Jan. for those that don't want to cycle gasoline, converting to use LP is really easy with those kits out there.
  21. wife and i watched it all the way through. so fucking good. made it through 8 on Sunday and finished on Monday. easiest to watch on the hbo ap.
  22. that's the thing. the dealership seems clueless. wife took it in and told them to fix the sensor/alarm. They changed the oil and did nothing else. Said they would have to run a diagnostic. We were like WTF, you had the car for 4 days.
  23. do you have the name of the place? wife has one and no issues other than the fucking alarm goes off randomly in the middle of the night. from internet google-fu i think it's the 'bonnet' sensor that thinks the hood is getting opened.
  24. couldn't resist and bought a little eth this morning ~$1800 and played a tiny long position just for some fun. closed the long out at 1880 for a whopping $40 gain. Still really just learning how to do the basic shorts and longs and how using leverage affects your liquidation points. proud to say that on 3 futures trades, i am up 20%. sad to say that 20% = $100. I don't have much in my Kucoin account, lol. It seems really easy to liquidate the idiots that use double digit leverage on futures and that's why the whales and cexs collude to do so. will hold the eth for a while. never know when i'll need to buy another jpeg
