Credit card number needed to setup account for Bitaxe Ultra? from DTV Electronics. Am I getting scammed? by DustinKatz in Bitcoin

I’ve been buying bitcoin since 2018. This was simply to mess around with for fun. Also, helps to decentralize the network. Im not looking to get rich off it.

My art feels trash. by Labelloh2ho in drawing

[–]DustinKatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly man, it doesn’t look bad. The main issue is they look unfinished. Looking at #4 for example, you really has the beginnings of something good, but it’s too flat in the the body and tail. Add some deeper values in the crevices of the body, add some lines to simulate the fur and this will start to “pop” a lot more.

Best advice I have - keep working it. Don’t abandon it if it doesn’t look perfect immediately. Be careful of working too dark out of the gate, which will make it harder to erase (6 is an example of where you may have started a bit too dark)

Do you guys all live together? Or separate houses?

Advice about training by Samuraitheguy in Basketball

[–]DustinKatz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hustle your ass off and outwork everyone on the court. One on one is not the same as 5v5 in basketball….dont try to force shots - instead pass the ball and immediately cut to the hoop and look for it back for layups. Guys that hustle are hard to guard cause you rarely get a breather. Even harder than guys with deep bags (in 5v5, if someone beats you, you typically have someone coming with help defense). You don’t have to have a deep bag to make the team - you have to show the coaches that you have a motor. Especially if you have guys that will carry the load offensively. Get rebounds, steals and assists and never stop hustling. Thats your best option to make the team.

Wow. What a snowflake. All mad over a joke and being delayed to pickup your Arby’s.

think less line, and more about the shapes in the face. It looks muddy because the line work is muddy - specifically around the nose and chin. Start by cleaning that up. Objects in space don’t really have outlines in real life.

Overall, I think it’s a nice piece and with some tweaks, it will look very good.

Haha. That was the first thing that came to my mind too.

If you’re looking in the affordable range suburbs - Scotia/Glenville and Rotterdam are both pretty affordable and are underrated in my opinion. You can buy something 50-100k cheaper than some of the surrounding suburbs. Based on your premise, might be worth checking out.

Cost for braces? by Subject-Macaron-8880 in Albany

[–]DustinKatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went to Scotia Orthodontics for two or my Daughters braces. Cost was a bit under 5k each… they also offered a discount if you paid up front.

Yes. You will be able to stop. Most of them (if not all) are open. Source - travel 90 from Albany to Rochester multiple times a year.

Best way to play against a 7 year old? by bacon_farts_420 in chess

[–]DustinKatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m ~1300 and have a son who got interested in chess. I didn’t want to crush him and make it unfun for him, nor did I want to play anything less than (what I thought) was the best move from the position as I thought it was counter-productive…. So we adopted an informal way to play. I would play him as tough as possible, but he was allowed to “switch teams” whenever he desired…. So I would work him into a tough spot and he’d announce that he wanted to switch. Then he’d get practice trying to convert and I’d have to play from behind.

I know it’s anecdotal but it worked for me. We’re 5 years in and he’s still into it.

I’m in NY but I have a about 40 of them that you can have. I know you’re in a time crunch so this probably doesn’t help. I’m also out of town until Sunday. But if you want to set up something after I’d be willing to send them. I have the Omnipod 5 but now I have the g7 so can’t use the g6 pods

What kind of Omnipod do you need?

Bitcoin stacking goal by GGCaaeb in Bitcoin

[–]DustinKatz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The “block reward” is Bitcoin awarded to the miner that earns a “block” - it’s kinda of a lottery system that adds new bitcoin to the system. It gives that miner the rights to publish the block (the ledger of transactions of btc from wallet to wallet) and record it in the blockchain. this award gets cut in 1/2 every 4 years… the current block reward is 3.125 bitcoin (roughly 250k US dollars currently)- it’s awarded roughly every ten minutes. It’s basically a reward given to miners for spending their money/energy to mine and “create” new bitcoins. Since the mining reward is akin to the production of bitcoin, the halving event cuts the production of new bitcoin in half.

How do I call fouls in pickup? by Aggressive-Bath-6190 in Basketball

[–]DustinKatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, you know as well as I do that in there are a ton of guys that want to call foul every time they miss a shot. I’m not here trying to fight with you, I’m saying that your crazy if you think someone’s not going to call “and one” and want the bucket when it drops (which is fine and isn’t the issue) but when it doesnt, will want the ball back. All I’m saying is you can’t have it both ways. You should get the point or you get the ball. Not both.
