I do t consider bonds or CDs as gambling. They are guaranteed unless the entire financial institution dies, in which case your investment in ammo matters more than money.

Got my sim rig up and running, so assteo corsa and war thunder.

Im doing the same… but its so tempting…

Thank you for the correction. Im sure everyone who read my comment was super confused thinking a place was making products…

Wait, no. It didn’t add anything, and people are smart enough to understand the context.

The real problems is that there is no good alternative. Msi, gigabyte etc will all do the same. EVGAs customer support was great. But there producing less and less products.

Your right. I dont like windows, but i still like it a hell of a lot more than linux and mac.

I mean… they were right… i am more conservative as i got older. I now put more money in my 401k. I save more. I eat at home more.

However, i still think other races and sexual preferences are human, and billionaires dont need to exist. Social welfare is still a good thing and probably more important than ever.

I did buy a gun though. Target shooting is fun. But, we need a hell of alot more gun control than there is now. If anything, my experience buying a gun made me more scared due to how easy it was.

Love the star trek memes. And like all things linux, i understand like 20% and the rest goes over my head

This is true, but it would help incentivise the country to move away from fossil fuels.

Also worth noting this would drive up the prices of nearly all goods as well since shipping costs would rise.

There are good incentives for fuel subsidizes, but the goverment has failed at having stipulations to gonwith the subsidizes.

Personally, i think they should nationalize the fuel production industry. No one should get rich from a natural resource, especially one that is destorying the planet. Even more so since they have known about it for 70+ years and have been trying to cover it up.

Yep, it just was better regulated in the recent past. It wasnt always much better, the great depression era was arguably worse. It only took 20 years and a world war to pull us out.

In order of worst to bad…

My cat of 14 years had to be put down, my parents gifted my sister nearly a half million dollars with the reasoning that she needs it more (with the " dont worry, we will even it out later"), my wifes mom semi disowned her ( not sure exactly what this situation is) and wifes dad is playing favorites with step kids.

You dont wana mess with zombie newton.

Lightning and thunder. Awe inspiring and yet terrifying at the same time.

Its kinda perfect down the middle.

Speed and movement like a COD. Very crisp and fluid and fast.

Damage like a sim. Single shot kills, no kill feed or hit markers etc.

The problem IS the centralized authority. Can you forever trust a government to not artificially inflate or deflate the value of a currency? The whole point was to have a system with no single authority. No single point of failure.

It is, however, not perfect. The volatility, limited number of transacrions per second , and reliance on an incredible amount of energy expense were the largest of these when the original bitcoin concept was created. Some of these issues have solutions, but its still an evolving technology.

I viewed it as more of a donation to see the stupid meme on Nascar or other dumb sponsorships.

Sorry, i just assumed we were at a point where no one other than the 2 of us would be reading this deep.

Yes that is how generations work. But generations in general is a very loose term. If somone in my grandparents’ generation didnt have kids, they would still be the last generation.

But it really doesnt matter. The point is that humanity has only had this ability in the last 100 years or so

No one from the 30’s is still alive?? I better go check on my grandparents.

Also, why the downvote? I was just adding more explanation to a conversation about an idea.

I mean… kinda? If i do the math in my head… if there is a 1 in a million chance every day for something to happen. It seems like it wont happen.

But a million days is just about 2,700 years. The human race has been around maybe 100 thousand? Its a bunch of probabilities stacked on top of each other, in a way that reminds me alot of the Fermi paradox.

And we keep inventing new ways to do it and making the current ways easier. There are also plenty of non self inflicted ways it could happen. Commet or meteor, gamma ray bust, supervolcano, etc.

It really isnt a question of if, but when. Before or after we become interplanetary or better intersolar-system species. My hope at this point is just not in my lifetime.

Ya, by 1st time, i meant in the last generation of humans. Starting in the 30s or so when people started seeing the invention of the things listed above.

I didnt mean like just now in the 2023. Or last decade.
