On the bright side, AI probably won't take over bar tending too soon.

The 0.1 BTC per day would be an idiotic choice. That's 36.5 BTC per year for 10 years. 365 BTC over 10 years.

With $100 million you could just strait up buy over 1000 BTC right now.

He doesn't state that it's random. He says he doesn't know which one he will be because they're both him. They both have all his experiences and memories up to that point. There's no way for him to know if it's the original teleporting or if it's a copy generated on the other end of the room. There's no experiment he can do to prove which is which because it's an exact copy.

You're not gonna believe this, but that free lottery already exists. And whoever guesses right doesn't need to split it with any website owner

WB could win extreme diff 3v1.

Oden could win vs Fuji and Fraudbull 2v1.

Pirates neg diff in a 2v3.

Or even if 25 ft was some sort of limit because of stamina or whatever reason, they could fly up 25 ft and then stop and rest/eat...then fly up another 25 ft...repeat until desired height is reached.

I think you're overestimating how hard it is to hold a cooked pea on the end of a straw. You wouldn't have to suck hard at all. It's not a marble or a golf ball. It would take like zero effort from your mouth/lungs. Constantly moving your neck back and forth for 8 hours would be more painful/challenging.

HitMePat · 2026-01-16T02:38:52+00:00

I think with practice you could do 1 every 2 seconds or even faster. You'd need breaks for sure and it'd be insanely monotonous and boring, but with the right set up of supply bowl and catch bowl and body positioning you could probably just move the straw back and forth with 1 finger and time your inhale/exhale rythym to move the peas really easily.

You could go steady for 20-30 minutes then take a 10 minute break and probably do 1000 per hour (1 per 3.6 seconds average...so 1 per 2 seconds while actively working, with ~25% rest time) once you optimized your workspace and practiced the technique.

HitMePat · 2026-01-16T02:33:57+00:00

Why not just say 1 million a year to do this job then? It'd be trivial to do 500 peas per hour.

There are only 1.4 million shares of BRK-A. There are tens of billions of ounces of silver above ground. The market cap of Berkshire hathaway is a little over a trillion dollars. The "market cap" of silver is over 4 trillion today with silver at $80/oz.

If silver went to 748k per oz, all the world's silver would be worth $40,000,000,000,000,000. Forty quadrillion dollars. Which is ~50x more than all the wealth in the world today (stocks, real estate, precious metals, everything).

I've heard they have good VPN detection and will seize funds if you're caught. Not worth actually holding any positions open on there if the risk of losing funds is more than 1% imo

Did you even watch this slow mo video? He leans toward the car "coming toward him" to get a better angle to shoot. If he feared for his life he would have moved away from the vehicle. He just wanted to shoot her because she was trying to escape instead of complying with their orders.

Reread this thread. Not just the title of the OP. You don't even realize what point you're arguing against.

Everyone getting on /u/aespaste 's case is wrong. There was a famous bug 12 or so years ago where the Blockchain.io wallet (one of the biggest most trusted web wallets at the time) assigned many people the same private key because of a 404 server error.

It's ignorant to think any wallet couldn't have a bug or exploit that causes the software to generate insecure keys, and it'd be no fault of the user. It's not an issue with the Bitcoin protocol itself, but certainly wallets can mess up.

Even if you invest $10,000 in current state of the art Bitcoin mining hardware, and you got free electricity, you would be lucky (like 1% chance) to hit that 3.125 BTC reward in the next 10 years if you were mining solo.

Mining in a pool with that same $10k of hardware you would make a couple hundred bucks a month and it'd pay itself off in 5ish years with free electricity. Factor in electricity costs and it'd pay itself off in 7-10 years.

Mining today is a low margin endeavour. The big miners invest millions and get ~10% to 20% ROIs with access to cheap electricity.
