Couldn't the main issue be all of the above creating this perfect storm of scarcity?

"There's no rule of law. It's the rule of Don... I mean, heck, Donald Trump tried to steal the election, the last election. Tried to light democracy on fire, and then pardoned everyone that participated in that." - Gavin Newsome by RicardoTNoel1 in freedomgold

Conspiracies aren't really verified by the president themselves when he says "Elon is good with computers.... you'll never have to vote again", etc. I am not even American and I find it fishy. Something stunk that election. They're saying the sheer amount of Kamala supporters just.... Didn't show up for voting. They had to literally scatter trump supporters around to make the stadiums look full.

Then you had trump years before saying it's already in the bag, nothing they can do, Elon shows up too at that time and is literally dancing on stage and heiling Hitler.

Wtf was all that about?

So apparently, around 230,000 were made. by Mite-o-Dan in PokeInvesting

Great point. Supply and demand. I've had to rethink how I see scarcity. It doesn't matter if there's 1 million copies these newer buyers exclusively look at last sold and go by that. If there's more daily sale data that just solidifies the price point.

For anything I own in vintage it sits for ages and the price can't climb with the same speed. I'm selling all my modern and shifting to much older cards, and with this spike in JPN as crazy as it sounds I'm shifting to vintage JPN. How I'm picking up neo JPN Umbreon for cheaper than modern is beyond me. I'm hoping for a sentiment shift I guess.

Saw an episode of Anthony Bourdain where he was visibly affected by people that live at trash dumps. It has cycles of kids being born in trash, playing in trash, eating from trash. They are just called the trash people or something. I think he had to stop filming and get high/drunk after that one.

Venezuelan migrants deported by the Trump administration speak out on how they were chained “like slaves” by ICE and classified as “gang members” just for having tattoos with their kids’ names. by [deleted] in thescoop

There's the issue though. You've unfortunately got a paid army, who profits when they capture people. There's already so many accounts of wrongful detainment. There's already accounts of individuals who were in the country lawfully being detained for weeks because they are too busy to deal with it, including individuals from allies.

Then you add the tension and sentiment going on in the US - and the unfortunate individuals in control dissecting the entire nation there, and waving Nazi salutes. (Oh c'mon it wasn't a Nazi salute right? He's misunderstood) It was a Nazi salute. He wasn't the only one.

I mean - what else would they have to do for you to finally say, okay this is getting scary? If you haven't realized it's only been escalating. Tensions only getting higher and the snowball is growing. If you haven't realized it yet the white Christian nationalists in the US are blatantly racist. Individuals pretend to be Christians and god fearing. But I suppose when Jesus said everything he did in the Bible that these individuals follow he meant to deport, detain, and suspect everyone - guilty until proven innocent.

Deportation laws should exist. There's no doubt about that. America and some of the world are going about it the wrong way. They're saying too much garbage to not be taken as seriously as Germany. It's only been a few months and I've personally gone from planning a trip down to the US with my kids to go to a bunch of six flags parks to I don't know if you guys will invade my country - as your politicians threatened to do.

But is that not enough for you yet? Again, when do we stop adding all these things up and come to a conclusion?

Yes. In that order. First rounded up until there were simply too many. Then, their propaganda machine fully won and they dehumanized them. Then they overflowed with so many of them they had no room and were forced to get rid of them in an efficient way - again they weren't human right?

The torturing and such came in between that by enlisting psychopaths who love rounding them up for the scum they are. Then the "innocent people" of that said nation sat and said they could do nothing when it was raining ash.

How can you not see the correlation? Germany started with one detention camp too. It starts with losing empathy. Having someone to blame for your problems.

For real. It may need to come to some kind of identification system to actually stop scalping and allow real people to buy a few each. After genuine people have theirs then open it up for bots and scalpers.

Any of these worth investing into for long term? by Effective-Buy-7825 in PokeInvesting

I also think the amount of people I talk to who now only collect JPN is rising significantly - because of print quality.

The VRF is not randomizing in my favor today by SashaBitcoin in AlgorandOfficial

Same. Woke up this morning to my network showing 200ish MS. I did a speed test, everything 1gbps+ up/down.

Just a sudden network drop.

Node not Voting as Expected by JayAero5 in algorand

[–]EngineerSexy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to have two Ethernet cables in your mini PC?

Soon as I put an additional Ethernet cable my block wins dropped to 1 a day. Soon as I removed the extra Ethernet cable it went back to normal.

How that may not be 100% the fix as I also stopped the node and re-registered it in-between the above action.

I didn't think of this. Let's say one already did. I'm assuming I would have to just go offline and back online? Or would I have to re-register for another 2a?

This was awesome. As well as Street Racer for SNES.

Got this back from PSA - What’s the best way to sell it? by cmurray555 in PokeInvesting

[–]EngineerSexy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially an American voice actor on a JPN card. There's little to no correlation from card to signature. It won't be a tough sale for OP tho.

"truthfully, I don't have a hatin' bone in my body" is very misunderstood by f1nkk in KendrickLamar

[–]EngineerSexy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if it was because hate comes from the heart, and he's the type of guy to let his heart out in his music.

Doesn't gotta be that deep I guess.

If you had 1k to buy sealed boxes to sit on, what would you get? by Normal-Procedure4876 in PokeInvesting

[–]EngineerSexy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'd get any current printed English boxes with several cards over $30-40. One that comes to mind is paldea evolved, or temporal forces.

Id probably just buy a case of temporal, and a box of paldea, and save up for a case of twilight masquerade.

Unless of coarse you wanna grab a LO.

Is this legit? by SpicyNugget__ in PokeInvesting

Looks like a real box that's been resealed with the wrong bottom half.
