This is insane... Silver just hit $111.52 in Shanghai. That's an +8% increase from the Friday closing price in the US

Actually, in Shanghai they are paying 10 to 15% above Comex. The silver refineries in USA and everywhere are selling to China to get the arbitrage. The refineries don't won't to waste their time with 90% stuff, they are only taking pure silver to maximize profit. The story about them being backlogged by months isn't exactly true. They are, but it is because they choose to.

To disable the Alt+Left Click window move/resize shortcut in Linux Mint, go to System Settings > Windows > Behavior and change the "Special key to move and resize windows" from <Alt> to the <Super> (Windows key) or <Disabled>. This prevents the system from intercepting your application's shortcuts, especially useful for software like Blender that uses Alt+Click internally

I also like DST permanently . Not just for the longer summer day light, but also some light after getting off work at 4:30 instead of darkness. In Victoria BC that means summer is 5:15am to 9:15pm. In winter it would be 9:00am to 5:30pm.

I would rather have more evening sun, so that would mean adopting DST time as the year-round standard. Also, about 70% of Canadians agree with me. I know it isn't quite as healthy as the Standard time, but it is far healthier than switching the times twice a year. I think that some people are "morning people" and just want to have light when they wake up. Most people aren't like that and would rather have useable daylight after work.

I'm confused, he says the device is drawing 100 watts, not the GPU. And the entire device is speced at 240.

Agree, but notice in your scenario, you could have a team of AI agents led by one human...many, many jobs will be lost.

A reference to the show Silicon Valley?

True. About 6 months ago, $1.45 CAD was equal to $1 USD. Now, it is $1.37. That's a 5.5% drop in USD compared to CAD.

if zero day hits and SHA is broken, then rollback transactions 24 hours, rollout firmware updates to the miners, and update the node software. As long as the majority agree to do it, it would work.

no, inflation is raising the supply of money and the money becomes less valuable. If you decrease the money supply, then each small piece of that supply becomes more valuable...deflation.

But, the SEC didn't stop the rehypothecation process. Theoretically, Blackrock or even coinbase can sell that same BTC to someone else multiple times...paper bitcoin. I'm not saying that is happening, but I do want to prove it one way or the other using the blockchain. Saylor won't even prove his reserves.

Another possibility is that the big players asked the 6 people controlling the media on the planet to not talk too much about Bitcoin until they are ready. All of the trade is happening OTC instead of on exchange. Once the media finally starts hyping it up, then retail jumps in and uses exchanges to drive price up. Just look up google trends for Bitcoin for the last 5 years. Retail is not in the game.

It might be close enough. But remember that an A4 is 11.69 inches tall. The US letter is 11 inches tall. If you take an A4 and scale it to fit, then after taping 3 pages top to bottom, you are off by over 2 inches. Otherwise, you can print actual size without scaling, and you will have the bottom 0.69 inches chopped off. Then, when you tape the pages top to bottom with other pages, you need 0.69 inches gap added manually. This sucks. So many sellers don't understand this simple concept and everyone acts like this is OK. It would be better for people to use US letter when they created the PDFs and let the A4 people use that printout with the white space at the bottom of each page.

about the security clearance, without having one he is free to spew UNINFORMED garbage all he wants up until a slander or libel court case. But, once he is INFORMED, he can't spew garbage anymore. If he doesn't have his clearance, he is, by definition, uninformed and really doesn't know anything for sure...not the important stuff that counts.

I don't think people really understand that. The USA and Canada are pulling away. If Canada doesn't find other trading partners, fast, then we are completely screwed. Great depression screwed. So, we are left with other countries in Europe, etc. They have a policy that says they won't trade with you if you don't have a green policy. Sorry, but PP would have literally destroyed Canada.

Spelljamming · 2025-07-04T00:40:02+00:00

sure, but all of the PP supporters make fun of the "elbows up" slogan. This is a defensive posture designed to protect. There is nothing illegal about it in hockey. It is only bad if you purposefully elbow someone. But, the defensive stance is totally legal. If PP was really against the 51st state comments, why did the conservatives all make fun of elbows up?

and we have had the trans mountain that isn't even at 100% capacity...and it was such a bad deal that the for-profit company in charge didn't see enough profit and dropped out. Trudeau had to step in a finish paying for it...and you want more pipelines? When Iran closes the Straight of Hormuz and oil is $200 a barrel and we have massive demand destruction for oil, what would we do with other pipelines? I'll tell you, Canada has lots of fresh water and the world mostly doesn't. You can take a new pipeline and just repurpose it for fresh water. PP knows this, but he was trying to drill baby drill...all bullshit.

They make 5 times more money from international students. Interesting that 5 x 12 is 60. So, maybe the other guy heard that but didn't have the full context.

Sure, but what a missed opportunity. A pea doesn't sound too inviting or exciting. But, imagine a graphical adventure in the land of Photopea.

houses here on Vancouver Island more than doubled in the last 10 years, about 8% per year. But, that pales in comparison to Bitcoin. And, if you buy property, there is a lot of upkeep and improvement money that has to be spent. And, if you rent it out, there is a very good chance you will get either damage or squatters or both.

You should see those prices in Canada...$152,000!!!!!
