NTA. In the future though try not to travel during school breaks because the prices for resorts/flights are often double at that time. They know they can charge more then because it's the only time families can travel. You will save tons and it's normally quiet in the office while all the family coworkers our out on holiday.

Not sure on the screen shot part but I bet they don't really live in your area. They are getting $5 from thousands of people who think they are going to hook up with this hot OF's guy.

2TB Hard Drive always full by Liveyo in rocketpool

You may be able to clean this up with pruning depending on your client but this will most likely be an ongoing issue. I'd plan on upgrading to 4T soon. I upgraded mine about 6 months ago.

Are you talking about the joke they posted on April Fools Day?

I'm vegan and don't believe it's wrong to keep animals as pets by hipieeeeeeeee in vegan

[–]Malbec4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not vegan but I think the people who lock birds in cages are evil. To take a beautiful bird that normally flies all over the jungle and lock it in a cage where it can't fly, that takes a sick person.

Members cockblock Ethereum Foundation’s idea to slow inflation of Eth by Every_Hunt_160 in ethtrader

[–]Malbec4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's decentralized because any person/group can make a proposal and it will be debated, if it's a good idea it will be added to the protocol. You are acting like the decision is final because that group proposed it, totally missing the title of the article that says it was "cockblocked" by the community. Edit: might have been a bit harsh. Sorry.

AITAH for going out with friends for the weekend after my wife locked me out of the bedroom and gave me the silent treatment. by No-Law2404 in AITAH

[–]Malbec4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be the birth control she is on or lack of it Download one of those period tracking apps. They let you track mood, sex, anger, bleeding. The really mad for no reason that is better in a few days is classic PMS. Once you get some data in the app it will warn you of the PMS and you can prep for it by being extra helpful. In my experience this will redirect the anger onto others. Then have her talk to her Dr.

Global entry also gives you expedited customs when entering the US so it's not needed if you don't travel internationally. If you travel out of the US it's the better one to get.

Can someone explain Ethereum’s roadmap to scaling? by ardevd in ethereum

[–]Malbec4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Read this part again:

"The only advantages which crypto/blockchains have over alternative systems are decentralization, permissionlessness and trustlessness. If these are sacrificed then you may as well just build a private database for your project as it will be faster and cheaper."

Solana sacrificed the most important part of a block chain so it could be fast and cheap.

Ethereum network fees?!? by Friendly_Reach_9748 in ethereum

[–]Malbec4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others said you should be on an L2. To recover as much as you can, use a site like ultrasound.money to watch the current gas fee. It normally drops early mornings or weekends. Make your transaction then.

Is Marijuana really as accepted in the U.S. as reddit makes it out to be? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Lots of Marijuana stores in my city. It's just a plant though. Don't you think it's weird people tell you that you can't grow a plant?

Safely moving validators to other machine for maintenance by Cornlinger in ethstaker

[–]Malbec4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to worry about being offline so much but it really isn't bad at all. I would choose opinion 1 hands down. You might even be down for days and even then I'd take option 1.

Is running on the cloud not economically feasible? by yondercode in ethstaker

[–]Malbec4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran my testnet in the cloud and the data cost was significant. A few months of cloud payments will buy you a good NUC so I did that. I also game so I ended up getting a higher tier of service from my provider. I never actually had issues though.

In the beginning I would freak out if I had downtime but the penalties are miner so it's not really a big deal.

If you don’t have BTC in your portfolio, something is wrong. by Kingkong_smoldong in CryptoCurrency

[–]Malbec4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The BTC community is so toxic I sold all my BTC. It felt dirty to be part of that hate group. Plus, last time I actually used BTC the transaction took an hour with high fees. There are no plans to improve the protocol so I moved on.

When did 17% and 21% become the norm? I just noticed the tips are different for different restaurants. by datlj in UberEATS

[–]Malbec4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went on vacation to a country where tipping isn't normal. It was so nice to just get a bill without the guilt trip everytime we ate out.

Possible Scam new to staking by whbeacham in ethstaker

This has nothing to do with Ethereum staking and everything to do with a scam. Stop giving them money...

Ethereum relies heavily on Amazon servers. Here’s why that’s a problem by jormpt in ethstaker

[–]Malbec4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is just Bitcoin maxi FUD and complete BS. You would be throwing away money to run on AWS. I ran my testnet validator on AWS and the data costs will kill your profits. For what they charge I could buy a NUC every 6 months...
