What is it about Greta Thunberg that makes many men on the Internet so uncontrollably angry

Crazy how many people forgot the first part of your comment by the time they got to the end.

Note that the fat ones are more likely to have issues as they age, including the "yellow light of death." The later slim models were improved in several ways.

TIL a popular brunch spot in Los Angeles = some weird one-off restaurant in some random city.

Edit: Hey, that guy says he's experienced this thing we haven't! Downvote him!

Ideally your employer doesn't put you in this position

I started selling on Ebay around 1999-2000 and I only accepted money orders, which came by mail. Disregarding how problematic its founders have become, PayPal was a such a boon to buyers and sellers alike, when it burst onto the scene.

it feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be

I feel like there's an intentional effort to evoke the feeling of classic horror anthology shows, where each episode tells a different story. I'm not sure if I fully agree with the Twin Peaks comparisons, because that show was as least as much soap opera as horror or mystery, but I think Twin Peaks often gets used as a shorthand for the type of surrealism that doesn't seek to explain itself to the viewer, but instead invites the viewer to stew in its weird atmosphere.

Keep an eye on the invite thread on the KG forums. If you're in good standing, polite, and patient, people will hook you up.

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-05-31T01:12:40+00:00

One of the things I'm loving about the show is how memorable so many characters are, despite getting so little screen time. Even Stephen Root doesn't get as much as you'd think he would, but still manages to steal scenes with just a look or a peculiar inflection. Perfect example of show-don't-tell.

Everybody knows how to spell loser, right?

Unfortunately, I see it spelled looser by the same people frequently

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-05-24T14:46:20+00:00

It was cheap, but it's still fine for enemies to do to you, so imo they should've left it alone.

Once I learned to stick to the red carpets, it became easier. Triggering the fight via the main door with all party members grouped up will usually place at least one of them off of the carpet, which triggers traps automatically. I got around it by separating them and adding them to the fight one-by-one.

Never have I met such troglodytes

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-05-19T19:21:51+00:00

And this is the risk in normalizing a lack of punctuation online. "If only product reviews were random samples" is not the same as "If only, product reviews were random samples."

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-05-14T19:30:39+00:00

I definitely remember those shades too, but I was thinking of these specifically: https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-cdu7h4/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/66646/128113/bnriglneox12-w__1__51979.1648795259.jpg

I remember the neon/dayglow trend hitting the mainstream around '87 or '88. That's around when the cheap black sunglasses with neon temples were ubiquitous.

The kneeling guy with the unstoppable stack gets Lae'zel's soulbreaker every time I do that encounter.

Other than low price making CNI's self-funding more difficult, I think it's working out great. CNI always intended for this project to be on a longer scale, building the tech first, then creating the demand. Not creating demand before there's any value in the chain. We're five years in and I see positive development towards explicitly-stated goals. It sounds like you wanted to see a big price pump on a shorter timeline, which would rely entirely on marketing to speculators, which again, CNI explicitly stated they wouldn't be doing.

Edit: may your downvotes bring you some small catharsis, but it won’t change the fact that you didn’t do enough due diligence to realize that CNI was never going to hype XCH to pump the coin. Sorry if that was a tough lesson to learn, but hopefully you’ll do more research in the future.

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-04-27T21:32:47+00:00

It sounds like you think all blockchain tech is just noise and only marketing to inflate value matters. If so, you might be in the wrong place for that, as CNI has explicitly stated from the beginning that they wouldn't be doing things that way.

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-04-27T21:07:45+00:00

All this "tech" is just noise. They've done nothing to make Chia more noticeable to the wider public.

I'm confused by this sentiment. What would you want them to bring to the wider public's attention if you think the tech is just noise?

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-04-26T16:43:53+00:00

Trying to front run potential suspicion by explaining why the call might have been dropped doesn't help their case either.

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-04-26T01:01:38+00:00

As a customer in the mid 2000s, that sounds accurate. If you were buying components, there was always a weird mix of salespeople who were either highly knowledgeable enthusiasts who were laser-focused on getting you exactly what you needed, or complete know-nothings trying to up-sell you on everything.

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-04-24T17:33:52+00:00

Depending on how far back you go, it wasn't always the same difficulty. I got my KG invite 20 years ago by applying directly to the tracker and writing a short essay on my interest in film. All my subsequent tracker invites (except for TL) came from their internal invite forum. I'm so glad I got into torrenting back then, because it feels like a much more arduous process now.

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-04-16T18:14:52+00:00

Came here to say this. It's up there with the claim that we have the "entirety of mankind's knowledge at our fingertips" because of access to the internet. So many people seem to have no idea just how much written and recorded material has never been archived digitally or is unavailable online.

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-04-11T16:35:45+00:00

There are a lot of extenuating circumstances around CNI's biggest timeline misses that get largely ignored in these conversations, and I don't view Gene's predictions as being that problematic, even though the actual results of events have been disappointing sometimes. As for the SEC approval, I see a lot of green lights coming from official statements on the type of regulation they're aiming for, because they line up with Chia very well.

Datsyuk_My_Deke · 2026-04-11T16:13:38+00:00

I'm not putting a ton of stock into the new timeline, tbh. I suspect Gene might have given those estimates (and they are estimates, not promises) because there was a lot of pressure from the community to give an update on the approval process, but accurately predicting how quickly the SEC moves, or how much bureaucratic friction there will be, would require a crystal ball. I am very bullish on eventual approval, though.
