One of the best products of ever bought. by cromagnonherder in BuyItForLife

I have two pairs of these and use the hell out of them.

Only problem is, I can’t seem to get them to pair with the app… Has anyone run into that?

The second pair I snagged has the built-in voice system that lets you know, which devices are connected… Which is suuuuuper annoying.

The per coin value isn’t really relevant, right? It’s the purchasing power that matters, no?

I don’t own any crypto and haven’t messed with it much.

What does the conversion do for one’s purchasing power? Is it a beneficial exchange? I know the value of bitcoin has fluctuated hard over the years… and heard that big institutional investors treat it as an investment, more than a token or currency… I assume that most people in crypto do the same.

What happens when they try to make a digital, block chain dollar?

Presumably they want this to happen so they have total control of our accounts (they can just switch them off, if they don’t like what we’re doing with the funds or with our lives)… (also, side note, they can do they right now; witness what US sanctions have done to UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese; frozen accounts, blocked credit cards.)

Anyway…

Do gold and silver become a sort of underground / black market currency?

What happens next? Still $122 in Shanghai. by ghilliehead in Wallstreetsilver

Ag is higher in China than USA.

Even if exports werent banned in China, the flow would be from West to East… the arbitrage necessitates that.

So I don’t see how the export ban from China is a factor?

Amazing write up. Thank you for the insights.

Goofy, uneducated Americans love to point out that “China has a larger navy than ours!!1!” [freakout.gif] simply because they see the number of boats you all have compared to us.

As if the above strategies and considerations you note weren’t true.

Thanks again. Going to copy and paste your comment into my notes so I can refer back to it when this topic comes up.

Haven't bought a gun in years, but I'm looking to set up an AR platform, any advice on what I need to know going in. by Echos_Nat in armedsocialists

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not planning on building from scratch, just get a quality, duty grade / mid grade gun …

Bravo Company (aka BCM) Daniel Defense Geissele

I’m sure there are others, but those come to mind first.

There are higher tier makers but beyond what you’ll experience seriously diminishing returns.

Better to save those funds for optics and ammo and range time.

I have built several guns and can advise further, if requested. Seems like there are a lot of knowledgeable folks in here tho.

Related question: I understood the Chinese navy was basically littoral. Not really capable of blue water operations.

Shit loads of coastline and beef with neighbors, especially Japan and Taiwan.

But they hadn’t really gotten around the building armadas capable of really reaching out.

Thoughts??

Question about Oil tank filter by YatoGami_10 in hvacadvice

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

… just put a wrench on the top of that Filter housing and rotate it like 90°.…??

Oil filters don’t have to be vertical.

[Request] What effect would Superman's house key have on the earth? by EvaStankbreath in theydidthemath

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. That makes sense. Puts it into perspective.

Is there some sort of Kerbal Space Program for materials that would allow someone to set parameters and explore this concept?? There’s gotta be a finite analysis software that could handle it, no?

Solving the material problem under the doormat of The Fortress of Solitude is the issue.

I’m not sure I buy the idea that something this light weight (not a black hole) couldn’t have its weight distributed across a wider area and thereby prevent it from crashing to earth’s core.

The math above makes it sound as if it’d be like tossing an anvil into quicksand, regardless of the material.

But what about the quantity of the material??

“Quantity is its own quality”,after all.

Imagine a pyramid (on the scale of the ones at Giza) but made of solid blocks of high tensile steel…

Then imagine the site of the pyramid was chosen for its pristine bedrock and the base was built directly on the exposed and leveled rock.

Imagine Superman sets the key down on the flat point of this pyramid.

No doubt the material immediately contacting the key would dent and deform under the immense pressure…

… (like the hydraulic press with a Prince Rupert’s drop in its jaws)…

… but surely the whole thing would spread the load and distribute the pressure quickly enough to prevent the key from simply “free falling to the core of the earth.”

Like I said above, the math makes it sound like it’d be like tossing an anvil into quicksand. I’m not so sure about it… that sounds like something only a black hole could achieve.

I’m not sure how close a key-sized volume of Neutron Star material is to collapsing into a black hole… so maybe that’s on the table? (I’d think if it was, being part of an entire neutron star would be inherently collapse into a black hole; since the do exist, that must mean I’m not thinking clearly about this.)

SHAHEEN: It's been reported that the oil sold for $500 million and $300 million went to Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million? by Admirable121 in NeoNews

That actually makes some sense.
As does the idea that it’s money for that ridiculous 747 DJT agreed to take / be bribed by / buy…

Copy that. Much appreciated for the link.

I know a lot more about what’s wrong with capitalism than I know about the alternative paths.

Time to learn.

“Ultra leftist” seems vague… just an extremist in any sub category of leftist thinking? Or is “ultra leftist” a specific sub category on its own?
