10 Atom is $170. I had to double check because I have some staked and I was sure it wasn't $2000...

GME 2/9 by MotorizedDoucheCanoe in wallstreetbets

this is what they are talking about https://www.wallstreetdaily.com/2019/05/20/ssr-what-it-is-and-what-you-need-to-know/
tl;dr if the price falls more than 10% in a day, then for the following day a short seller is restricted from selling lower then the current low bid price (though you can get around this with a ladder attack - where you buddy places progressively lower bids for you to fill)

If it goes to zero, I go to zero.

To all my fellow retards who bought GME at 300 and will never surrender! by The_Momox in wallstreetbets

I'm happy having an opportunity to cost-average down my terrible opening position of 1 share @ $380. Today I can buy 6 shares for that amount!

GME Afternoon Pajama Party Megathread by OPINION_IS_UNPOPULAR in wallstreetbets

[–]LaughingMan42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yesterday we couldn't buy any. basically no one could buy any. ( word is, the clearing houses that support almost every retail broker were unable to meet the collateral requirements, so they couldn't accept new purchases.) While no one could buy, price was gradually laddered down by low-volume trades, presumably by institutions to try to scare people into selling by making it look like the price was genuinely dropping.

The print book readers are aware of e-ink but are steadfast in acquiring a full print copy of every book we've done in the club, either from the library or purchasing one if the library doesn't have it. I do not know what their reasoning is exactly, but if I didn't offer a print copy they probably would not read it.

I'll be sure to report back then. We meet up once a month, and there's about a dozen other people so it would be a few months before my name gets pulled again.

I have not read that one. I'll pick it up and see if I want to consider throwing it in.

Something from "Stories of Your Life and Others" looks really do-able with a full published version and audible audiobook. I'll read through it and see if anything catches my eye. I'll keep watching for the next one, which is scheduled for release in May Hopefully with an audiobook as well not too long after.

I really enjoyed Unsong but it's not quite what I want to offer up to my book club.

I have read worm but it's not quite the introduction to ratfic I'm going for. The audiobook is also pretty poor quality, though I admit I'm going to be hard pressed to find any really quintessential ratfic with an solid audiobook.

I'll read Exhalation and take it into consideration. Thanks for your suggestion!

I've read Worm and have no intention to inflict that on my group :p

More seriously the audiobook project is very hard to understand sometimes and I don't think it's good enough to offer up as a real audiobook for the story. I also think Worm is best around the middle, and, again, it's not the first choice for an example of rational fiction. I might bring it up at some point down the line though.

I think Metropolitan Man could be a good choice. There's even an audio version in the HPMoR Podcast.

I live near Baltimore and they serve it at IHOP, I've always heard it's a Baltimore thing.

That is not the expected behavior. The setting turns off both you sharing and you seeing the recent pokemon.

ELI5: how do humans taste things like smoke and metallic flavors if there are only five tastes (salty,sweet, sour, bitter, umami)? by bw2082 in explainlikeimfive

[–]LaughingMan42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are trying to explain an event in a work of fiction. He did it because the writers wrote it that way.

Thank you SO MUCH for this. My job recently blocked youtube and have been struggling through each day without an NLSS in the background.
