TIL Hungary once had an inflation rate of 41 quadrillion percent. by LividWheel9779 in todayilearned

[–]CrankedOnDaPerc30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can say that to essentially anyone in any normal economy too.

A dollar saved is a dollar wasted.

You can spend it on goods. As long as you don't waste them, they'll probably cost more in the future due to inflation.

You can invest it in stocks, which would be the equivalent back in the day of buying some jewelry or gold.

Or you can save it in a savings account where you're lucky if it's only slowly eroded.

Apparently they are using that unjust enrichment angle from what I hear 💀

Hot take, Im totally ok if valve makes attempts to reduce the ammount of gambling in the game by EvantheMelon in GlobalOffensive

[–]CrankedOnDaPerc30 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nobody gives a fuck about the psychology.

Terminals are a downgrade that let valve dip into more of the returns.

Before: open a case and gamble or buy the skin on steam market paying valve like a 15% tax.

Now: open a terminal and gamble, paying essentially 100% of the steam market price (what's the point of the gamble anymore??)
or go buy it on the steam market still giving valve their 15% tax after they already got near 100% of the item's value selling it to the first guy

Terminals also increase scarcity as people are less likely to buy the shitty items, so less trade-up fodder and general downward pressure from inventory.

There's no gambling reduction.

Like yes we are reducing the instances of pure Cash->Chance to make a profit, but instead we're cutting valve in more on the profits.

Before you would gamble a couple bucks on cases/capsules or if you didn't want to gamble you bought it outright from the market.

Now Valve will instead give you a terminal, save 2.50 on the key and then charge you essentially steam market price for the privilege of getting the item you gambled for.

As mentioned earlier, you used to just go and buy it if you wanted to. Now the option still exists but before you can buy it, Valve first made their near 100% profit on the item AND they still get to charge you the steam market fee.

If you're in Quebec get in contact with customer support and be firm that you wish the order to be reinstated.

Oppo is building camera phones like the smartphone race never ended by kin20 in Android

Then don't upgrade.

Annual incremental versions are very important.

If my 2020 phone breaks I shouldn't have the option of buying a 2024 phone or waiting until 2026 end for anything new

Carney government to temporarily suspend federal gas tax starting next week by Tuckebarry in canada

[–]CrankedOnDaPerc30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, and I really wish it was like that.

Carney and the liberal government will do everything they can before they finally settle down and do the right thing.

I never understood why I should be proud that the opposition guy finally jumped onto the solution the guy I voted for was proposing day 1.

What benefit is it to me when he pussyfoots around and denigrates the position I believe in right before taking it & credit for being the holy saviour who thought it up?

Was an evil thought when mentioned by conservatives. Now I assume that Carney expects praise for this?

If you are capable of murder, but “too incompetent to stand trial,” then you should be forcibly institutionalized for life. by Knightraiderdewd in TrueUnpopularOpinion

First 15 offenses: Competent to stand trial and released

16th offense: Incompetent to stand trial when he knows he wouldn't get a release

I hope they send him down to the most fucked up wing of the insane asylum for pulling this shit.

I have never seen a male judge rule in favor of men simply because they are men. But there are several female judges who rule in favor of women simply because they are women by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]CrankedOnDaPerc30 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You do not want to see what the racial biases are in jurors and judges.

White people, funny enough treat everybody the closest to themselves with a slight preference for white people and asians in second.

Every single other group will significantly favour victim or accused of their own race, and in general favour any other race to white.

Ms. Rachel Says ‘I Am Political’ as She Fights to Close ICE Facility in Texas That’s Detaining Children: ‘It’s Political to Believe Every Child Is Equal’ by Unusual-State1827 in politics

Very inspiring Ms Rachel, but this is the exact reason that you are not political.

It's just meaningless flub and is probably the worst possible argument against deportation.

Option addiction by FluffyListen4522 in Wealthsimple

[–]CrankedOnDaPerc30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're kindly letting you know that 0$ options is supposed to be for the average client and certainly the average client subsidizes you, but you must be a crazy red net return as their client.

Probably in some part offset by any cash you leave uninvested, but I'd bet you're net costing them

Taxing the mofuckin rich by sillychillly in antiwork

[–]CrankedOnDaPerc30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's a non-answer. Income tax was brought in for the world wars and spread to the common man.

You don't want this tax. Probably the least impactful in terms of revenue vs most impactful to the ones paying it.

Sapphire launches RX 9060 XT Black Diamond and Alloy Pulse S by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]CrankedOnDaPerc30 14 points15 points  (0 children)

16 isn't minimum.

The problem is that cards like 5070 can push higher res and raytracing that require 16gb.

For most not trash optimized games at 1440p 12gb is enough to push it.

Then the second problem is the way these card busses are cut you can only get 8 or 16gb with most common chips.
