You wanted currency trading without all those pesky regulations that Stifle Innovation. You got it. What's the problem?
Oh, you don't like all the scams? The scams that currency trading regulations prevent? You want regulations to protect you from getting scammed? In the currency trading venue you specifically chose *because* it's unregulated? So you want the protection of regulation without the restrictions?
If you prefer your tech education dripping with the kind of sarcasm that drips with even more sarcasm...um, you'd be at Wonkette, wouldn't you. And so you are! But more a propos here: I highly recommend Dan Olsen's YouTube series on cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and their incestuous derivatives.
Dan's Canadian, so he gets it. Plus he totally grasps everything related to financial evil, relating it in a way that makes you feel like YOU grasp it too--even when "broad-brush" would probably be a better descriptor of your own graspation.
Plus PLUS he makes fun of the aesthetic poverty behind all the so-called "art" being purveyed in the form of memes, or attempting to be purveyed (and I don't mean the few scraps of actual art that gave so many such projects a gloss of desirability early on).
Do it. You'll have fun. You might learn a thing or eleven.
OT: it's the last week before semester end. WHY are teachers sending students here to print projects without making sure that they have actually done one??
Kid: I gotta print a project
Me: Okay
Kid: (begins frantically searching for anything to copy and paste, takes the whole hour)
I'm mad at the teachers all week long, traditionally. DO. YOUR. JOB!
I would like to speak to the Manager of Wonkette. The story discussed droopy balls memecoins, and I wanted to buy my very own $TKN TRUCKNUTS cryptocurrency, but I was BAMBOOZLED into reading the entire story and now my ENTIRE INVESTMENT IS UP IN SMOKE!!
Now in the "only clear liquids" part of colonoscopy prep. Tonight at 7 I start the "drink revolting liquid and spend the night on the hopper" part of prep. But at this time tomorrow morning I'll be checked in at the procedure center, and the end of my ordeal will be in sight.
.
Also, doing the annual "check all the backup drives and make sure they aren't failing" process.. have uncovered a couple drives that are not entirely happy, so replacements will arrive this afternoon and the failover will help distract me this evening.
I am considered one of those "at-risk" types, so I get to go through that prep once every 5 years. Last time the prep didn't take (I swear, I followed the instructions to the letter, just like the previous time!), so I got to do it *twice*. Probably going to do the same extra-long prep the next time it comes up, too, just to be on the safe side.
I’ve had 2 now. The happy go to sleep easily part is nice! The also changed the prep procedure for me the 2nd time, it wasn’t as ‘intense!. Good luck with your final steps & outcome!
yeah, probably killed my maternal grandfather and uncle, and arguably led to my mom's death (she died from complications of a colon resection at 92).
So, I'm on the five year plan.
This is the first one down here in SoFL, so the new gastro doesn't know much other than the history.. he was assuming that, at age 66, this was my first rodeo.. when I said "nah, this is my third or fourth, I forget" he became WAY friendlier..
So I've had a november of car woes and wondering about getting a new one or keeping this one going. In the end, decided to keep this one going, though hubby got a bit emo about it and even threw out the line "well you're the bread winner now" and I had to, again, have the conversation about how "partnerships do not work like that you sulky thing you"
Anyway, youngest decided to go to a friend's on saturday, as the young do, and the car would not start. Mind, he had JUST driven it a few hours before when he went to get the pizza. We all went out, tried jumping it, checked fluids, looked under, all that and could see nothing wrong. Was not even clicking, though there was a slight whine when the key was turned.
Hubby was getting into I told you so mode, which you know I adore, so I made him go out sunday morning and check the thing over.
Turns out, the thing was in drive, which is why it would not turn on. He put it in park, and it started right on up.
Now youngest and I are trying to figure out how the hell he got the key out of the ignition when the thing was not even in park. All I can figure is that when he went out on saturday night, his brain was not on and he put it in drive before inserting the key?
Moral of the story: I feel fully justified in not going in on a new thing if youngest is going to do stuff like leave it in drive XD
It was youngest who did whatever was done XD Hubby just figured it out.
I did not even look at the gear shift seeing as you can not normally take the key out without being in park.
But that could be a thing. We did just have the entire steering and key thingy thing replaced (part of the november woes- also water pump and fuel injectors, so many woes), so maybe something is not jiving with the other stuff.
I am obviously missing something about all this, liberal arts major that I am.
In teaching economics to HS kids, I have always stressed that ANYthing is worth whatever people think it is worth. I can offer you a bottle of water in class for $30, you would not take it. If we were in the desert with no other water, you'd be glad to get it at twice the price.
This goes extra for things like stocks, they are only worth what people are willing to pay. Consider October 29, 1929. And stocks, if not a complete scam, are tied to something real in the world.
Anymore I think stocks are more what people are willing to pay. Especially as now so many people's retirement funds are pumping that shit up for the enrichment of the ruling class
We have many four-way stop intersections here in the city, and many drivers without the attention span to get through a traffic light in one go...enough that I no longer yearn for flying cars.
I mean, you know you'd have a ton of people that would go, "Screw this 90mph cruising limit within the city, I paid good money so that my Bombmaster 3000 could fly at Mach .5! I'm just gonna fly a little above the rest of the traffic here and open 'er up."
Hey, it might have worked without the other six people who decided to do the same thing.
I echo the singer's plea: "Won't you please take me along for a ride?" Anything short of a "To Serve Man" scenario would have to be better than what's going on here.
Con: She has been given a 13-week jail sentence, suspended for 12 months, must pay the MP £150 compensation, complete 120 hours of unpaid work and pay £450 in court costs.

"...It is often used interchangeably with the term shitcoin which typically refers to a cryptocurrency with little to no value, authenticity, or utility..."
What puzzles me most is not the suckers lined up to throw away a lifetime's accumulation of loot, but that people with such limited understanding of the world scrapped together any savings at all, what with all the African princes that need your banking information to get their fortunes into the country...
oh no, see, in a christian theocracy, the helpmeets surrender to the authority of their husbands
Not sure what the venn would look like between people who spend their kids college fund on memecoins and those in culty christian sects, but I am just going to guess that there's a lot in that center
Someone looked into the Twitter bio of the alleged person who claimed to have lost that money, and they claim to be a millionaire and other things, so my guess is it’s total bullshit.
I don't like it when people who are supposed to be on our side sound crazy.
"Schumer urges Biden admin to deploy 'special drone detection tech' to N.Y. and N.J."
Sure, they keep that in the same room as the weather control tech. And you should be smart enough to see that this whole drone nonsense is just panicky people reacting to social media hype.
Bask in the early 2000's the local county fair district arranged a flyover by a couple of air force jets. The jets flew over the fairgrounds a couple of times and departed. The panic afterwards was amazing. Many of our citizens were of the opinion that the jets had been hijacked by swarthy men from the Middle East and were going to invade our town. Sure, a terrorist wouild definitely go after a small town first. just makes sense. And yes this is Trump country
"Heck, why not make your own memecoin? It’s easy to do!"
Why don't I just stick my dick up my own ass? LMAO. Oh, that's not easy to do I guess.

Same for me. Now waiting for the second appointment, sometime in March.
They want me at three year intervals. I let it go over a decade while I grew two polyps. Big'un was 10mm.
I’ve had 2 now. The happy go to sleep easily part is nice! The also changed the prep procedure for me the 2nd time, it wasn’t as ‘intense!. Good luck with your final steps & outcome!
The objective of this ordeal will be in the 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳'𝘴 sight...
It's what killed my dad. Well, that and he NEVER had that test, so by the time they found anything it was already stage 4.
Good on ya, tek
yeah, probably killed my maternal grandfather and uncle, and arguably led to my mom's death (she died from complications of a colon resection at 92).

Maybe explain certain car things to the yute like "gas gauge" and "air in tires"
"I told you so mode, which you know I adore"
this. this right here. 🤣
it is possible the shift interlock is worn out..
A lot of friends in my car club have older-but-not-ancient specimens where that is the case.
.
or perhaps your hubby is EXTREMELY 'talented' ;)
It was youngest who did whatever was done XD Hubby just figured it out.

This I do not get.
Once upon a time, stocks were (at least largely, ignoring the periodic scams) an investment in the future of a company.
Now they are largely baseball cards.
IMHO.
Anymore I think stocks are more what people are willing to pay. Especially as now so many people's retirement funds are pumping that shit up for the enrichment of the ruling class

When you said Avery Brooks, for some reason I was thinking of this guy:

Oh man... Chump isn't even in the top ten..
FAKE NEWS!!1!
I don't understand how anyone can spend five minutes in traffic and want people to have easy access to flight.
I usually sum it up: "Yeah. Americans in flying cars. What could go wrong?"
If everyone is up there, the roads would be much clearer.
Cause I ain't gettin into one of those things
Until they crash. And they would.
I can't trust people on two axes, now we're supposed to trust them on three? I don't fucking think so.
I mean, you know you'd have a ton of people that would go, "Screw this 90mph cruising limit within the city, I paid good money so that my Bombmaster 3000 could fly at Mach .5! I'm just gonna fly a little above the rest of the traffic here and open 'er up."
Hey, it might have worked without the other six people who decided to do the same thing.
Too many axis holes.
There have been plenty of aerial collisions already. Let's put a few million more idiots up there.
dodging around falling debris in my old ford sounds like a fun way to spend an afternoon though

Con: She has been given a 13-week jail sentence, suspended for 12 months, must pay the MP £150 compensation, complete 120 hours of unpaid work and pay £450 in court costs.
Pro: She's a fucking legend and should never have to buy a drink again her entire life.
Can her public service include speaking about the harm Farage has done to the UK and warn voters to think before they vote.
complete 120 hours of unpaid work
huh
Isn't there another name for that?
"Internship."
lol, we pay our interns XD
Quite the competitive gig too, we get hundreds of applicants yearly
If I had the scratch, I'd pay her court costs for her.
As to the 150 GBP, I'd sooner give Farage the sweat off my balls for ice water.
Oh god YES. YEEESSSSSSS 🏆
