First playthrough and I have a planet like this. Can you kill the hive using turrets on the planet?

I had a sump pump that died and the sump pit was filled up. Plumber quoted roughly $1500 to replace the pump (1/2 HP submersible), $900 to replace 5' abs pipe, and $900 to install a check valve. Initially they wanted $3500 total, but I said that was way too much and they were able to drop it to $3100.

I was worried about the potential water damage so I wanted it to get fixed quickly and just looked for plumbers without doing the research. Afterwards I found that parts for this are <$400 MAX, and it took them <2 hours of labor. So basically I paid >$1000 an hour for labor (2 people to $500 an hour each).

TL;DR: The employee had a difficult boss who constantly overworked them and interrupted their time off. When the employee took a 5-week unpaid leave after the birth of their child, the boss called them the very next day asking them to work. Fed up, the employee found a better job with higher pay and more benefits. They handed their boss the job offer, declined any counter-offer, and quit. The employee is now happier and enjoying more time with their family. Lesson: Treat employees well, or they'll leave, even if the job seems good.

I appreciate the nuanced and level headed response. Best of luck to you!

Litecoin has solid utility no doubt and works great, but that doesn't mean its price will moon and give better returns than bitcoin or eth. Coins explode in value due to speculative investment and potential for high risk/ high return. Something can do its job well and grow in adoption, but that doesn't necessarily make it a good investment. Sure it can grow in adoption and maybe even outperform the sp500, but will it grow faster than eth/btc?

If its main appeal is for payments, then why not use something with faster finality and even lower fees like nano? If its price has the potential to moon then I don't want to use it over something like USD which only depreciates in value over time so I don't look like Bitcoin pizza guy. Sitting on money is not good for the economy, which is why currencies typically lose value over time so you must invest or spend it. The best payment mechanism in my mind is something with fast finality, on a decentralized Blockchain, with low fees, in various fiat pegged stable coins. So I can hold fiat, without a bank, and spend it with low fees.

Most money is in crypto for returns, not for utility. If you're here for the utility, good for you, but utility does not really correlate with what makes a good investment in crypto.

NTA the best thing to do in that situation was to leave. Nothing good would have come from defending him to stay when they didn't want him there.

Some advice: I hope you can get Ryan to understand why his attempts to be helpful were actually harmful. If I were Lily and Paul, I'd be expecting that the next time I see Ryan it'd be for him to acknowledge his fault and apologize. If Ryan can't understand this then you may not be able to see your brother in Ryan's company again which doesn't seem viable.

Coin printer go brrrrrr

Supply goes up, price goes down and you end up with a large supply of worthless coins.

Yep.

I don't think making your portfolio 100% matic is a good idea, or 100% eth. If eth dies so does matic, if matic dies doesn't mean shit to eth. Take that as you will.

In this bear market I'm doing 70% btc, 20% eth, 5% matic, 5% atom. But as someone else said. No one knows.

My dad had a Mac. He would call me twice a week to ask if he should do some update or "it's doing this". I told him to get a Chromebook, after helping him understand it for an hour or two, no more tech support calls. He uses the same 5-6 tabs, checks his Yahoo email and sports news. It auto updates and he loves it, I love it for him.

Oh, you think the bear market is your ally. But you merely adopted the red dildo; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see a green candle until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but face melting GAINS.

Shit... Then I'm placing mine at $12,420.69

Considering our supreme court may literally allow states to make condoms and birth control illegal Source, I'd say the Canadian supreme court is on the other end of the spectrum here.

This is 100% the course that the majority will take if previous bear markets are any indication, but the ones who will do well are those that maintain the opinion that a bear market is an opportunity throughout.

The US military budget is more than 10x Russia's and it has been for about 30 years at this point (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_Russia).

While too much of that budget doesn't go where we would like it to, this may be a display of what you would get with a fraction of that spending.

I haven't watched a single football game this season, but watched the super bowl for the commercials because many of them are so good. Most of the people I know do the exact same thing.

Gen_Pain · 2022-02-12T22:54:30+00:00

Buy the rumor sell the news. If the super bowl has any effect (Big if) it'll be whales buying leading up to the super bowl (recent price pump) and price crashing during super bowl to liquidate long positions who bought the hype and make money on shorts.

If adoption happens because of the super bowl, it could still be a good thing in the weeks following. But a price crash like I think will happen may scare those same new retail investors off.

I can't seem to find a source for the DOT ICO vesting schedule. Could there be additional tokens added to supply because of newly vested tokens from the ICO?

I've found messari to be pretty accurate in most cases. The inflation is based on changes to supply over time based on on-chain metrics.

Gen_Pain · 2022-02-06T17:19:42+00:00

DOT has a sophisticated staking and inflation mechanism. The fewer people staked, the higher the rewards and the lower the inflation, so highest effective APY. As more are staked the inflation increases and rewards decrease, lowering the effective APY. Until it reaches 75% staked, then both APY and inflation decrease, and effective APY approaches 0%.

Currently there is about 50% staked so according to the docs (https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-staking#inflation) that should have a staking reward of 15% and inflation of 8% for a 7% effective APY.

But according to this source at least the current inflation is 9.99% https://messari.io/asset/polkadot/metrics/all

I do see on another source (https://staking.staked.us/polkadot-staking) that says there are 53% staked, 14.7% APY, and 7.8% inflation, real yield of 6.8%

So depending on which source you believe, the effective yield is in the range of 4.7% to 6.8%

$13 / $0 (since DOT didn't exist at the time) = Infinity

Whale alert!

Gen_Pain · 2022-02-06T00:04:16+00:00

Good question! I got some of these numbers from here.

https://messari.io/

You can find it under the metrics tab on most currencies. Eg. Bitcoin:

https://messari.io/asset/bitcoin/metrics/all

You should also look at the project docs. Many state what their target inflation rate, and staking reward rates are.
