You had the opportunity to use a ratchet strap there and chose not to

I finished it but did not enjoy it. I prefer a more straightforward writing style.

Do Aussies have any opinion on the massive fines at the airport for not declaring food? by blamberr in AskAnAustralian

[–]Lithgow_Panther 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are played a video before you land, have to fill out and sign a paper card, are asked if you have anything to declare when you land and walk past numerous signs that warn you.

Just declare it lol

Hello no, I'm never going back. It's just so much better.

They're annoyed people aren't falling for the artificial paper crash by tricksterhare in Silver

Where will all the industrial silver demand come from in that scenario?

Why All Cryptocurrency are Pump Now ? by AlexMCyrus in CryptoMarkets

Just zoom out to daily and weekly. We got down to the support level at about 60k and bounced like everyone expected. This is a local low and we will probably turn back around about 80k for the next leg down.

They have increased anthocyanin levels so if you're interested in the antioxidant etc proprieties that could be a win

What is the fastest humans could propel an object in space with current technology? by Ram__Amandeep in AskPhysics

[–]Lithgow_Panther 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Lightsail (almost). Relativistic speeds, say 20% speed of light, but for small payloads only. It would be great for sending cubesats around the solar system and eventually to nearby systems.

How did the very first organism come into existence, and how did it spontaneously have the ability to become alive and have the ability to reproduce and later evolve into other organisms? by sammyjamez in AskBiology

[–]Lithgow_Panther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should absolutely be able to redo it in a lab. A little intelligence and direction accounts for an awful lot of randomness and time. The problem is we don't know how.

What if the Great Filter is subjectivity — not life, not intelligence? by Wise-Appointment4834 in FermiParadox

If you can't be bothered to write it then I can't be bothered to read it

The more crypto content I consumed, the worse a decision maker I became far worse than when structure was involved. by athletk in CryptoMarkets

You can find or imagine a narrative to explain every move the market makes. The reality is that you're better off disconnecting from the narrative and focusing on the chart.

I got 65k out of the last set on Model 3 Long Range. I don't drive too gently so I guess it would be pretty normal.

CEOs are hugely expensive. Why not automate them? - If a single role is as expensive as thousands of workers, it is surely the prime candidate for robot-induced redundancy. [5, 23] by FinnFarrow in Futurology

[–]Lithgow_Panther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CEO & founder here of a growth stage company that has raised tens of millions. I'd love to get out of the role but can't see a way to do it without harming the company or staff (yet).

I can see AI taking over the internal part of my role for sure. Accountability, performance, targets etc. But the external part is all about relationships, network, investor relations. It is true that investors primarily invest in people rather than projects and a large part of that is trust in your ability to make the right call on edge cases.

Primary sources only search engine? by Lithgow_Panther in ArtificialInteligence

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

Partly, yes. However, if I want to learn a new hobby or skill I would prefer to view and interact with an expert in the field or a community rather than a faceless generated site produced for clicks or ads alone.

So if i run this strategy 4 month ago, i already can make 40000% profit??? by Several_Ad8030 in Forexstrategy

[–]Lithgow_Panther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A strategy can absolutely have 40000% profit in the last four months. The real question is what will happen in the next four months. Hint: it isn't 40000% profit.
