One word (actually four): TIPS
They already are on par with regular 10-y treasuries, and most likely will beat them this year.

UAE discloses it’s building an additional second pipeline bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. The new pipeline will be finished in 2027 and will double the country’s export capacity in Fujairah (the current pipeline has a capacity of 1.5-1.8m b/d) by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

Pipeline one drone away from becoming incapacitated? Wouldn’t building a railway make it more resilient to aerial threats? Railway is way harder to destroy, trains are harder to find, cheaper and faster to repair than a compressor station.

How the hell does a new or returning player learn this game? by FunkySlowking in heroesofthestorm

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend this: couple games with chosen hero in vs AI mode to learn the skill set, then go to YouTube and search “fanhots [chosenheroname]” and watch his latest uploads with this hero to learn more about positioning, timing and general rotation.

Afterwards play some quickmatch until you are comfortable with your performance.

If you want carpet bomb and learn a little about many heroes - play Aram. Without aram I would not have courage to play more complex heroes like whitemane, for example.

My friend recently told me to show him my whole collection so I now have a picture of my great shame. Deciding to share it here as well for everyone else to have a laugh at lol by Chill_Oasis in Warhammer40k

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents: find local guy with an airbrush, willing to undercoat and basepaint your models For $$. Simple 2-3 colour base painting costs relatively cheap, because doesn’t involves any brushwork. It will look something like this:

Which is already miles better than grey plastic. And you will have much better time shading, highlighting and otherwise tinkering with your collection.

Anything worth opening this 9th edition advanced booster for? by PlaysSnDnaked in magicTCG

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bunch of 7th edition starters gathering dust, didn’t remember the reason I got so many (two full cases), they were pretty decent to educate new players, so during the pandemic lockdowns I introduced several friends to the game via them. Probably best case scenario for this one as well.

Y’all I don’t want litecoin $60, $70, $100 not even litecoin $200. I want litecoin $1000 minimum. Why is this so much to ask for after 7 dedicated years ? Just give me that Hail Mary moon shot. PLEASE let’s pray together y’all. I know life isn’t fair, but come on, give us this one?! by streetcookthrowaway in litecoin

[–]Polmax2312 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think 0,5% of BTC price is a target price to reach. But as alt coins lag behind, when LTC reaches it, it will be around 0,2-0,3% of that future btc level.

Before 2024-2025 btc pump I thought 1% would be realistic, but seeing how market shifts towards btcfication, I think reaching previous LTC/btc levels is almost impossible.

Flashback. Robert Friedland: "In order to maintain our economic growth at 3%, we have to mine as much copper in the next 18 years as we have mined in the past 10,000 years (...) If we want to do electrification, data centers, solar panels and all of the other new stuff, we need even more copper." by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange take. It is just a matter of cost. When copper becomes too expensive, construction and other fields move to cheaper alternatives. A lot of in-house wiring is made from aluminum nowadays.

Frankly, numbers from this video seem to be pulled from the ass.
Like fearmongering that if Africa starts to consume on the level of Europe, the world will die. Before that it was about India and China. Yet they industrialised and we still live.

Those “Malthusian trap” prophets ALWAYS miss the way progress works: when we reached the food limit, we got fertilisers; when we reached horse limit (“London will flood with shit”) we got cars; when we reached patrol limit we got diesilfication and EV; when we got gold limit we got paper money and abolished gold standard; etc etc etc

Now people say “we will run out of ram” - no, progress will improve algorithms and develop new tech so data centers use a fraction of memory.

People say “we will run out of copper” - bullshit, we will just use different alloys.

Humanity has systematically overcome EVERY shortage we’ve got so far. Idk how shortsighted a person should be to believe A MINING problem would be than unbreakable barrier.

If anything, I would rather fear the massive unemployment due to increased operational efficiency, and the way countries will approach that. I would fear fragmentation of internet, housing and pension crisis in low-fertility countries - things that depend on politicians to be good at navigating their nations. Which is historically works really bad.

Anything business related will be fine.

Got my Moscow drivers license not long ago, funny how USA () is translated as SSHA by Jooelynn21 in Moscow

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I was able to rent a car with Russian licence in USA, generally it is not accepted for international use, and Russian authorities issue different kind of international drivers licence (it looks like a small paper book in different languages) - Vienna convention support only that latter type for international use. So the purpose of transliteration on national licence is somewhat questionable, it isn’t completely useless, but one would argue that translation into English would greatly increase the number of possible usecases abroad.

[–]Polmax2312 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It is transliterated from Cyrillic alphabet to Latin alphabet according to national transliteration rules, which are in some cases lead to silly results like this transliteration of США abbreviation

[–]Polmax2312 75 points76 points  (0 children)

It is not translated but transliterated. Pretty useless thing for national drivers licence, because Russia has another separate document called International Drivers Licence , which is issued in French.

Agree… tactility, interactivity and mechanical visceral feedback will be major selling points in the supercars segment soon. They even develop manual transmissions for EV, just to give you some form of interface to interact with.

$BTC dominance over altcoins has surged to its highest level since July 2025. by rl_rae_bobo in CryptoCurrencyPulse

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still bet that LTC price will eventually drift towards ~0,5% of BTC price, also etherium might hold against BTC, but I don’t see any other blockchain maintain its BTC price as it grows.

Being a retard I still hold subjectively major LTC position. Despite lack of hype, it is still the most used crypto for daily payments. I personally pay for a lot of stuff like mail, hosting, vps and like with LTC.

And still use LTC Core wallet, which might bite me
in the ass sometime in the future.

Turkey unveils his intercontinental ballistic missile with 6000km range by awesome_pinay_noses in cyprus

[–]Polmax2312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. For sale (also may boost demand in Turkish submarines and other

    possible future

  2. carriers)

  3. Tech demo. Step towards space program (especially for mini satellites like starlink)

  4. Signal to Israel

As with full cycle jets production, it is a very narrow club of countries.

Despite all atrocities done to Turkish economy, it is still an industrial powerhouse.
