I like ‘em. But those feel like retail prices for used skis.

I call those “socks”

I…. Don’t know. Steph Curry was golfing in one. I saw some dude at a summer party with one.

What do they call those shirts that look like somebody sewed a puffy jacket on the front of parts of them?

Also, why?

No, my point is that it’s not actually a big problem for the average gold investor. It doesn’t even crack the top 5. It’s a straw man. Like most of the arguments for the merits of Bitcoin, it’s a...

Range started acting up. Ordered a new one from Lowe’s in April. Just arrived today. Unboxed it.

The glass around the control knobs is shattered.

Now I’m on hold trying to figure out how many...

^^^ Well said and thank you.

So why aren’t we railing against the factors that drove wages so low that property values necessarily cratered without outside investment? If the average wage in a high cost of living area halved...

Is that actually a big problem for the average BTC investor, or are you just grasping for straws to build a man with?

Would it be OK if the remote worker made $40K instead of $140K? I mean…having lived in more than one desirable rural location, it was always widely accepted that you had to take some significant...

No, he’s mad about the evil expressing concern about the evil.

AR is definitely bitter, and I even understand why. But I don’t think he’s mad at the right people and it all comes off as……
...

Wonder how that’s all working out? Not sure what kind of LTV policies are typically in place with this sorta thing, but if it’s any more than 25% some folk be sweatin, for sure.

I’m going to suggest, gently, that Montucky is nobody’s idea of a profitable, low-touch customer.

Cade? Do we call him Cam? Confuse.

Sure champ, double down I guess, but I assume no such thing. And “evil’s gonna evil” is no standard to hold our institutions to, which is (we agree) the function of regulation that serves public...

Conflation? What was I conflating? I certainly made no implication that the consumer chose global warming, so “conflation” back at ya, sport.

Who do we think has a greater responsibility to...

Well, what? I mean, they do, but let’s not act like “consumer choice” is a good, moral, or sustainable way to steer a society. Corporate greed veiled by “consumer choice” is how we have melting...

Empty LinkedIn quotes and reposts. Actually, just make that LinkedIn in general. Every time I wander over there to clear notifications and messages I leave more annoyed and cynical than when I...

Re: hybrids: Depends on how and where you drive, right? Around town you are able to use the hybrid system to max effect, but if you do a lot of highway driving the hybrid powertrain is just extra...

It has nothing to do with line go up or line go down. It’s a negative sum game being used to part the foolish and easily led from their retirement. It’s a ponzi. The arguments for crypto just seem...

I was 11. Mom had to approve it, though I probably would have picked it anyways. My musical tastes weren’t very refined. Still aren’t.

False equivalence is false. Exhibit A is mortgage lending, which BTC doesn’t fucking do.

You’re comparing a shitty currency/asset/commodity to a service industry. Anybody concerned about the...

That’s not really “back in time” in many corners. TGR is a global collective.

It’s their culture, right? What are ya gonna do?

This is the first year it’s a fed holiday, which makes sense that workplaces are recognizing it for the first time. My workplace closes on fed holidays, and we don’t close when it isn’t a fed...

That’s a really weird way to look at cars, dude. Maybe you should talk to somebody.

I have some small amounts of bitcoin, the value of which is a good bit less than I bought in at. I’m hodling, because what the hell? Truly, it isn’t enough money to be bitter about, I assumed I was...

I thought this was about international remittances for poor underbanked immigrants?

Or are they the brave?

It feels like Klay should make it all better. Isn’t the whole thing pretty on brand for his persona?

Interesting. Prepayment penalties at all are pretty rare here.

I don’t see much let up in pricing or inventory around here, though everything is moving slower. Feels like something has to give. ...

Yeah. Didn’t know that was a thing. Without being defined (or just by being ignorant), that’s like tying your shoelaces together to play basketball. I get it. Hard mode for me, man, here on out.

If you get three out of five on the first guess (which happens often with my start word) you’re limited to 10 more letters to sort out the answer to use a total of 15 different letters. If you use...

That’s pretty sobering.

I hope you’re right, for your sake. If you’re wrong… it’s just so sad. Maybe you’re being smart about it and only holding and buying what you can afford to lose. There are...

The exact same words were going through my mind.

Eating shit hurts so much more on a bike than skiing… Probably why I’ll never actually be that good a biker; hurts too much to fuck up.

Well sure, that too.

Speculation is totally fair, it’s when we act like it isn’t gambling that I get confused.



The beauty of a system like the USD is that smart people can pull on meaningful levers to maintain a...

I didn’t know there was a hard mode and an easy mode. I’ve generally been playing it hard, if that counts, but recently I’ve dabbled with ignoring any hits for my second word. AEROS and TUNIC, or...

The YouTube commercial with the lady sounding like she’s gonna throw up with her cable bill/woes. Just a terrible fucking commercial from the worst part of 80s/90s advertising.

I caught 7 over the winter that were living between my chimney and exterior wall. There’s discussion upthread. The high point was getting two in the same trap:

The black one is packing,...

20 seconds of googling confirmed that. Thanks!

Why?

Do Canadians all have variable rate mortgages? I don’t get it.

Or do they just not understand the question?

An asymmetric hedge is what I believe they called it. It sure sounded fancy even if it meant nothing at all.

Mine was mocha steel. Most people would call it tan.

If you drive like a dick, I guess I can see your point. I did get plenty of ribbing at the time for driving a Buick, so the analogy works from that perspective.

I’m not selling them or anything,...

I had a Buick LaCrosse a couple years back. It was a nice car and I liked it. It was essentially an AWD Impala with a big V6 and a nicer interior. Drove and felt way nicer than my Audi in a lot of...

This didn’t age well. But sniping notwithstanding…. What does “impressive” mean, here? Like, what did BTC do? How did it provide value? Or are you referring to the careful administration of the asset...

While driving, I get a call from the funeral home in the town where my dad lives. Figured it was probably spam, but answered anyways.

“Hi, this is Mustonen”

“Oh hi Mustonen, I’m sorry, I...

Oh, nevermind.

Living without TP is a little easier if you’re also living without sriracha.

I used the euro car spec stuff that met the VW 502 spec or whatever that my car demanded.
