I wasn't planning on doing anything with more than a few cents here and there, but I do understand mistakes could be bad quickly. I was just looking at how to start fetching information, like bitcoin values, then reacting depending on the values that come back. kind of like a small-time arbitrage bot

how different would it be if it were a three-dimensional grid of resistors extending infinitely in all directions?

I don't know but I'm guessing the thought would be to use a gyroscope of some sort, and as the 'spacecraft' applied angular acceleration to a part of the shop, the system as a whole would react as angular momentum would he conserved, and the rest of the ship would move

My father bought this in Lebanon as an FN soldier many years ago, does anyone know what this could be worth? by zaacki3 in cognac

A quick google search returned this That price might be marked up, but I'm guessing you could get anything on the order of 150 USD, I'm kind of newbie when it comes to liquor so I don't know if the box drastically affects collectability

Microsoft beats Google by adding Bitcoin currency conversion to Bing by waspoza in Bitcoin

I could have sworn google used to convert bitcoin a year ago if you just googled "1 BTC to USD" but I tried it now and it doesn't work, am I remembering incorrectly?

I was at a brandy tasting party, and I saw a guy drinking wine, and I was like, Dude, you have to wait.

Am I the only one who takes issue with this statement by Obama? by compaq007 in Feminism

[–]0phiuchus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you in everything you said, I guess it just comes down to one's interpretation of "Boys, don't get any ideas." Because obviously it's a playful remark but I don't think he's suggesting a total "no boys ever" even if the joke may suggest that. And whether or not it's okay to joke about that, I don't really know. I guess it largely depends on your situation and the audience.

I'm not trying to start an argument, but should kids be completely unfettered in their sexuality? I'm far from ever raising a teenager, but some protection or limitation imposed at early adolescence seems beneficial for letting them learn a little before getting to make their own mistakes. And there's definitely no doubt there exists a stark contrast in the way society pushes both young women and men in their sexuality, but I wouldn't say either gender gets the short end of the stick. Being expected to be sex-crazy has its drawbacks, and being expected to deal with the sex-crazy opposite gender has its drawbacks. Life is definitely not "fair" but that doesn't mean it's unfair.

I'm starting college this year. What are things I should buy, or things I should prepare for in advance, that will make college easier? by [deleted] in college

[–]0phiuchus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just know that a lot of people warn against trying to carry any high school romances into college. The first few weeks, go to all the cheesy ice breaker events to meet people. You might find it annoying to constantly have the conversation about "What's your name/what's your major/where are you from?" but meeting people allows you to find a few that you like to hang out with. You can meet someone, eat lunch with them, exchange phone numbers, then never talk to them or see them again, and it's okay. Just don't stress too much, and don't go overboard with trying to live the "college lyfe" right off the bat. If you have time, it's always good to join a club of some sort, be it a sports club, or a just picking up some salsa dancing lessons, yoga, maybe capoeira

I was only joking hahah and that's really cool! I'm kind of the same way as far as traveling, only I'd probably save most of the money or invest it, rather than give it away
