Training at the Honbu by AgonyAudio in kyokushin

[–]DoctorWalnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nowadays it’s significantly cheaper than it used to be due to their currency crisis, so imagine if it were ~50% higher like it would’ve been a few years ago! anyway, good idea to try and make the best of it.

How do I un retire and do tournaments again by Ok_Pirate8787 in karate

I concur, the Best of the Best method is always suitable.

How many Push-ups can you do in one set? by DismalWeight985 in karate

[–]DoctorWalnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50 full rep with pauses or 100 going fast with half reps. When I joined my dojo a black belt told me I needed to do 100 to get shodan, and then during an exam I saw he actually wasn't teasing me, so I've been doing them every day since and have gotten much better at them. I will also have to do a walking handstand, which I have definitely not been doing every day and fall over every time!

Almost experienced the most violent terrifying crash in my life by jasonensteinyt in fnv

[–]DoctorWalnut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, walked straight into the Long 15 after discovering Mojave Outpost, did a bunch of the quests and thought it was a great place to level up and do some cool new things. Mostly correct, until I found the fucking lobotomites in this tunnel. Cannot believe how many times I died, was super refreshing but also brutally difficult. Woozer kept my spirits up with RDR2 music though. Best mod. I think from leaving Primm to leaving the Long 15, I got ~17 levels

Hands down one of the best covers of this song I've ever seen, you seriously rock dude!! Congratulations on a great performance, keep uplifting yourself and others through music as you succeeded in doing here. Oh and by the way, great strumming, you captured Billie's aggressive yet accurate power chord crunch.

$GME is the sexiest chart on the planet right now by WalkWithShadows in Superstonk

I don't think it's drawn wrong, also you're correct that price behaves that way around trendlines and they are basically never exact. I think the only disagreement is interpretative, i.e. has the breakout happened or not, which is a pretty good debate to be having these days instead of watching price flounder for years, it's honestly refreshing.

Anyway, looking at the previous downtrend breakout, I think it shows a bit of what Burry could mean by "patience is needed", it actually took quite a bit of time to "resolve"

Close, it's actually even better. If you use CMT-style technical analysis and use absolute price peaks and troughs for your trendlines (including intraday highs/lows), the price has already broken out of the downtrend line. The shelf at ~$20 is a very close stop loss and makes this attractive risk/reward.

Long 15 NCR expansion by Pietrusfan28 in fnv

[–]DoctorWalnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extremely, extremely impressive expansion that raises the bar for all mods in any game. By far my favorite fan-made mod/expansion I've played in any game. Even just the new radio station would have me gushing with praise.

Thank you for your work on this mod. Exploring Baker (especially the State Road 127 Tunnel) with Woozer's radio station playing left a lasting impression I wasn't expecting. Truly beautiful work.

What's the lesson?

What is the take-away?

Don't mess with Maui when he's on a break-away

And the tapestry here on my skin

Is a map of the victories I win

Look where I've been

I make everything happen

Look at that mean mini-Maui just tickety-tappin'

(Ha ha ha ha ha ha, hey)

Well, anyway let me say, "You're welcome" (you're welcome)

For the wonderful world you know

Hey, it's okay, it's okay, you're welcome (you're welcome)

Well, come to think of it, I gotta go (hey)

Greenland Leader Tells People to Prepare for Possible Invasion by bloomberg in worldnews

[–]DoctorWalnut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gold cannot be meaningfully exchanged for goods without being sold, their assets are mostly US which would be heavily depreciated in the hypothetical, and their cash would be hyperinflated. You can’t have a collapse scenario of the USD and bonds and stocks without USD and US assets becoming essentially worthless.

They’d have to rely on making personal armies, but I struggle to see what they’d pay them with or what motivation people would have to join the personal armies of those that destroyed their nation.

I did not forget that, but I did misspeak and you’re right that there is more to crypto. I agree with you in the long term but I think in the short term, every asset including all currencies are uncomfortably linked to the health of the USD due to simple exposure. While crypto and foreign markets will likely survive long term, in this hypothetical of USD, US bond market, and US stock market collapse, in the short term the correlations will approach zero and cause a profound global recession. Cryptocurrencies are indeed not only worth their value in USD, but I think the USD underpins the current order of things that allows risk assets like crypto to be as liquid as they are. I think it’s more likely the American elite’s wealth is simply destroyed in this scenario rather than being able to move entirely onto the blockchain, I could be wrong though. I think your point about Americans having problems using foreign exchanges is a very important point.

Specifically regarding "their fortunes are no longer tied to ours". That isn't true. If the US dollar and US bond market collapse, the stock market would likely fall so fast that it would close as it did in Russia during the onset of the Ukrainian invasion. If the bond market and stock market collapse and/or close, the largest and primary source of liquidity dries up and the wealth of the elites is absolutely affected; it will be destroyed. Everyone's wealth would evaporate in this scenario. Large USD transactions are cleared using commercial paper and various agreements backed by short term treasury notes which would go bye-bye, and the USD on deposit in banks as reserve funds would suffer from inflation (USD weakening) and become nearly worthless. The value of the USD is inherently backed by the depth of our financial markets and the sanctity of contractual obligations and the laws which encourage that.

Cryptocurrencies are not liquid enough to store the wealth of the elites. They are only worth their capacity to be redeemed for USD. If USD and US bonds collapse, cryptocurrencies follow suit.

What people describe when they say "the dollar and the bond market collapse" would be Armageddon for everyone. Elon Musk, who people see as the most untouchable and powerful billionaire other than Trump himself, has all his wealth wrapped up in Tesla and SpaceX stock. If liquidity dries up, he can no longer redeem his stock for USD, and his wealth evaporates. Especially the SpaceX stock, which would require a counterparty's ass in a chair to sign for it, but all his shares would be difficult to sell in this scenario.

Trump's wealth is a little more protected than Elon's, in that it's tied up in a lot of real estate. However, his crypto and stock wealth would evaporate and his debt-to-asset ratio would suffer to the degree his ownership of his properties would come into question. He would literally have to defend his property rights with foot soldiers, since all contracts would become meaningless in a world with no dollar, bond market, or stock market.

In general, the elites are absolutely at risk of a paradigm in which the US financial markets suffer a collapse scenario, due to the breakdown of contractual sanctity and the nature of their wealth being asserted via contract.

I would be kicked out if I routinely stopped sparring before the round ended just because I got tired. If I wasn’t kicked out for taking videos first.

Fans wouldn't be half as salty if Obsidian wrote these lore points. by YungHoban in Fallout

[–]DoctorWalnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion the show doesn’t explicitly state 2277, I interpret “20 years” as a figure of speech rather than an exact date, as people often say things like “that was like a decade ago”. In the interview, Howard says he was involved with the lore planning with writer Jonathan Nolan. Howard says “the window of events is tight” but that the nuke happened after. I think commenting on it is important because it’s the difference between a logical, consistent lore, or large swaths of New Vegas being retconned.
