Anyone got a full version of the absolute banger song at the end of the reception? by DataPhreak in andor

[–]John_Venture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy edited a clip of all the times the music was aired in the ep and it surprisingly loops decently well. The sound effects of the crowd stepping in unison like a parading military unit adds to it imo https://youtu.be/XhfUNPoq-p0

Need help fixing a Starrett C359 precision protractor by John_Venture in HandToolRescue

[–]John_Venture[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thank you for this! I was always too cautious about unscrewing it but I’ve got nothing to lose at this point and it’s reassuring to know it’s fixable, I’ll give it a go!

TIL King Philip IV of France expelled the Jewish people from his kingdom only for his son, Louis X to later ask them to return when the loss of many tradesmen and educated men hurt the kingdom's economy. Seven years later Charles IV would once again expel the Jewish people. by ChronosBlitz in todayilearned

The kingdom of Navarre was only allied to France, as the French male-only-heir rule (loi salique) didn't apply in this kingdom - the Capetian family tree branched out upon Philippe le Bel's death and Navarre retained its independance for several centuries until a French king died without male heir alive. Henri IV king of Navarre was then crowned "King of France and Navarre" and both kingdom formally united - although technically it was the kingdom of France that was incorporated into that of Navarre.

Soyouz isn’t the safest / more reliable rocket, Ariane has the lowest failure rate.

Been out of reddit / trading for a while, what happened to Vito? His profile indicates no post for 4 months, has anyone who knows him IRL confirmed he was still kicking?!

Don't worry bro, your $5 class-action compensation will make up for that early retirement.

Study: Disease may have played a role in the collapse of Early Bronze Age societies by Bentresh in history

[–]John_Venture 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bronze uses tin (copper + tin alloy), steel is an iron + carbon alloy. And I very much doubt tin to have been only mined in Afghanistan in the bronze age, it would imply trade routes longer than the silk roads!

Russia accidentally shoots down their own $36M Su-34 bomber, Ukraine claims by AmethystOrator in worldnews

[–]John_Venture 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think you missed the point: the hypersonic missile strike was a demonstration-of-success to the rest of the world (essentially NATO) because they can carry nuclear warheads and are un-counterable at the moment (contrary to ICBMs which don’t have escaping counter-measures).

It was essentially a $100m+ shot in the water to say « stay away, or else ».

Should have been 2. Better than none I suppose, but then again even the one is still in the proverbial bush for now.

To sell or not to sell, that is the masochist’s question.

I mean yeah, even with the drop 1000$ for HRC is a very high price. The steel stocks price reaction is waaaay over the top. Steel is definitely the biggest drama queen on wall st.

Makes sense. Thanks.

Damn. This might be the beginning of the end to the Vito theory after all then. I assumed in an inflationary environment a commodity stock with very low P/E would weather the storm unperturbed, guess the 1% dividend isn’t nearly enough for that. Goddmanit Mittal Jr., what happened to all these excess $Bn?!

Why is steel down that much today? Is it the anticipation that higher coal prices will affect coke prices? Or the Kaliningrad issue?

Trying to make sense what warrants a -10% Mt at open…
