LOL, good luck with that.

(Inverse ETFs, especially leveraged ones, don’t work the way you think they do. They’re not really intended or suitable for anything but day-trading.)

IIRC the judge can order the arrests and also deputize people to carry them out.

I can’t wait until Trump pisses off the world enough that they fight back and he is eventually tried for his crimes against humanity. I can’t wait to shit on your grave you evil fuck.

This savior fantasy isn’t going to come true. If you want it to happen, you’re gonna have to do it yourself.

I’m more a fan of identical triple monitors and keeping them all in the same orientation (all vertical for doing a lot of programming; all horizontal for everything else), but that might just be my perfectionism coming through.

For those unaware (not the parent commenter), that’s literally the plan. It’s the post-Soviet model of blatant corruption, creating oligarchs by selling off government assets at fire-sale prices to their cronies.

Every difference between digital and vinyl is caused by vinyl failing to faithfully reproduce the original signal. It may be “pleasing” signal degradation, but it is degradation nonetheless.

As for the analogy about different headphones, I don’t think differences in quality of the amplification/playback hardware are necessarily tied to the recoding medium playback mechanism itself. In other words, you could just as easily hook some vacuum tube amp up to your CD or FLAC player if that “warm” sound was what you were going for.

there is a difference in sound.

Yeah, there is: vinyl is objectively worse.

Up to 8 points, depending on whether playing with tech that was already old at the time counts. For example, I’ve never used a typewriter to produce a document, but I’ve pressed the keys on one to understand how the mechanism works.

The one with a sliding metal thingy had a floppy magnetic material inside it just like the bendy one.

The key is triple monitors so you don’t have a bezel in the middle of your field of view.

He’s talking about it now to maximize time spent normalizing the idea in the minds of the public.

It’ll go directly from “nah, it’s just an idle hypothetical” directly to “so what? We always knew this was the plan and haven’t done anything about it, so it must be okay” without stopping in the middle for “holy shit, this is unconstitutional bullshit!”

Friend/coworker recently told me that i don’t have a ‘game face.’ Now I’m self conscious that everyone knows what I’m really thinking.

You’re confusing it with “poker face.” “Game face” is when you try to look determined in order to intimidate the other team.

Hope that helps!

She’s still alive, which means the Nobel Committee can and should fix this injustice. We just need to make them do it.

In an ordinary recession, you should definitely keep buying because stocks are basically “on sale.”

In this recession caused by sovereign risk (i.e. the government itself fucking up), it’s possible that the market might never come back. If you believe that’s likely-- or if you just want to boycott US investment to protest against the fuckery – you should still keep contributing to your 401k, but invest it in international ex-US funds.

Journalists need to quit acting as uncritical flying monkeys for the fascists’ DARVO tactics.

The DARVO ones.

Every state is at risk of having this happen with the federal government the way it is, and it’s not so easy to emigrate to some other country.

That’s one of the ones that’s actually assembled in Japan, too.
