That's my second favorite 'CNBCism'. 'Bitcoin is weathering its ugliest week in months as narrative fades'. Excuse me CNBC, but a decade ago this stuff was trading at like 500 bucks per. Can't an overbought thing take a breather without it being a cause to panic? Of course, the very next article is some Warren Buffett truism about holding lol
I wanted a simple watch that didn't have a battery to replace so I got a pretty nifty looking mechanical ceramic thing and wore it to work in a postal facility for a handful of years. Armani AR1414, nothing too spendy, but I accidentally backhanded metal containers more times than I could count and I could only notice any sort of scuff if I angled it nearly sideways in bright light. I never thought sapphire would be as tough as people claimed until I bought one. I don't even know what it'd take to leave a visible gouge in the crystal but I assume it'd have to be rubbed against concrete lol
I think a rarer bill would be scrutinized more closely by more people. Someone hands you a 5 and it's like 'okay', someone hands you a 2 dollar bill and you might study the thing, since it's just a very foreign thing to wind up with
I agree with you for the most part. We've seen companies with dominance just sit on innovation and basically slow play it when competition keeps up, or go straight to lawfare or popularity contests (Intel cough cough). Kinda sucks we place more importance on the resources used to arrive at innovation than the practicality of those innovations. But where we're at now, it's like peeling an onion and what everyone wants to find is 3 layers down, so it's not like we can build more LHCs to smash particles, because the things we need to find are a couple skips past that point. We eventually find it, what next?
I'd imagine any intelligent alien life form would be intelligent enough to realize that they've reached a point at which they can simply life in a sustained utopia. Heal the planet, work less, fill time with hobbies and pursuits. Humans have this flaw, and it's that the mentally ill squander the world's wealth and use it for dick-measuring contests. A small minority of us will kill their own mother for a job promotion, and the people at the very top want to squander it all so they see another 0 in their bank account, or outrace the other 7 megabillionaires to the dick-measuring contest on Mars. I could only hope aliens aren't as as stupid. We could just litter the earth with trees, solar panels, 2 br condos, and hammocks, and have AI work for us, but nope. Every single die shrink leads to more transistor density and never any power efficiency because big numbers are better for shareholders. They sold us downstream. If any alien contacts us or leaves a trace they're most likely just as dangerous to our survival as we are. Space conquistadors
This is mostly uneducated postulation, but I think as we become more technologically advanced, technological advancements (and the knowledge of mechanics necessary to allow for them) become fewer and more far between as advancements occur.
I feel like the industrial revolution was a perfect storm of many advancements all happening in the same blip, and it allowed us to go from Wright to the moon in one lifespan, but 100 years later, we're still not far from that point, technologically.
I mean, look at radiological half life - that's the point at which there's a 50% chance that any one atom will decay, but when that atom decays seems to be mere chance more than anything. It's perplexing and maddening. But the more we stare at that, the more sure we are in the belief that the void, nothingness, is actually rife with energy just flitting in and out of perceivable existence, affecting observable particles, but we just can't see this vacuum energy. Almost like quantum mechanics is used as a workaround to try to make sense of those unseen forces (and when we can observe them, it'd likely be able to be described in a more classical sense).
Maybe the industrial revolution gave us some hopium lol, but we've been butting our heads into a wall for a century pining for a magical microscope. Maybe in 500 years it'll all look mostly the same, who knows
iirc methanol and acetone both have a boiling point much lower than ethanol, so I think one would learn really quickly to discard the first little bit of distilled product, because it'd be nasty as hell. I never tried distilling but the issue seems like it'd fix itself, right?
I used to run a lot and this is the stuff you live for. I'd start to wonder how long it has existed in this state, what kind of feet or hooves graced this very path. Am I even worthy Edit: The Detectorists, that show, that's my jam, but I like running
A lot of us understand it as dice rolls based on shit we can't account for, more or less. Be a bit easier when someone finds out vacuum energy causes unstable isotopes to decay but I'm not nearly that smart and I'm also digressing. Kids in 300 years acting like it's common sense lol
Damn, I'm hoping for a swift recovery, I was hoping you just lost all the skin off your knuckle
Your finger good tho right? If you go knuckle first it's usually losing skin and a learning lesson. I don't talk about the other way

'NASDAQ rebounds off intraday lows as investors shrug collapse of US dollar hegemony'
10 in base infinity I guess?
So lemme get this straight: the guy who won the last election is claiming that the elections are rigged? I'm just trying to understand here

If the lens is scratched I'd bet it is fake. Something like that should have sapphire and it's pretty difficult to even leave a mark in it

Damn, I didn't even notice or even have a suspension of disbelief. Prosecution has so much stuff, may as well just do whatever lol
That cheeky guy either secured himself a hung jury or the top of the sentencing guidelines with that snark

This is art, build this around an actual rheostat and slap it against a wall
It was just me holding control while clicking because the first time was taking a little too long /duck
I think a lot of nuance was lost by her not using her mother tongue. She was Epstein's friend, after all
