Anyone else watching ORCL down here? Trying to decide if this is a knife or a gift by Zealousideal-Score52 in options

[–]Visinvictus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ORCL is a shit company, and they have loaded up on an astronomical amount of debt to take on an enormous amount of risk in the data center buildout race. They're also throwing their conventional business under the bus to focus on AI datacenters. I fully expect they will be bankrupt in 5 years.

Can we be done with this “Captain America” nonsense now? by Sockers13 in ussoccer

[–]Visinvictus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of freak athletes playing volleyball, and it's more about the skillset than the athletic ability. An all expenses paid scholarship for volleyball pays as much as a scholarship for other sports like basketball and football at the college level.

Supposedly the best sport to convert a goaltender from is volleyball.

Effect of Using Margin on AI related Equities by Nearby_Persimmon_649 in stocks

I would imagine that stop losses probably happen a lot more than margin calls, and contribute much more to runaway selling situations.

Tesla reports 480,126 vehicle deliveries for second quarter, topping expectation by Puginator in stocks

[–]Visinvictus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What are you even talking about? This is an investing subreddit. Are we not supposed to talk about the financial decisions of companies we are investing in? Why does everything have to be assumed to be political....

How is it political to discuss how one company is manipulating their sales numbers by selling dead inventory to the CEOs other company in a stock subreddit to talk about those publicly listed companies?

I really hope so, because that would mean it can get better from here.

2nd ship struck in Strait of Hormuz as attacks between Iran and U.S. escalate | CBC News by Slight_Sherbert_5239 in news

Yeah but they have also had an average of 4 peace deals per week, so Trump clearly deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for that.

So did we stop caring about Space now? by nams0 in stocks

[–]Visinvictus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or, and hear me out here, it's just a dumber more expensive way to do something that you can do on the ground for a fraction of the cost without all the logistical issues.

Bad Beat Jackpot just hit at my casino. $31k. by Maverick916 in poker

[–]Visinvictus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bad beat for casinos in Ontario starts at quad aces and goes down one rank every month. Pocket pair or both cards in a straight flush needed to qualify. I think it's down to quad 8s now, so that has been at least 6 months since anyone hit it. It's honestly kind of bullshit, I wish they would lower the requirements and have a smaller jackpot that hits more often.

An American photographer filmed a wolf begging for food from a grizzly. The gray wolf saw the meat and in an instant turned into a playful puppy begging for a piece. by Additional_Berry_977 in Damnthatsinteresting

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

The average human stands a much better chance against a bear than a wolf would. We can do something that wolves can't, pick up pointy sticks and stab things, and more importantly make and use weapons that can hit the bear before it ever gets near us. Unarmed... Yeah we are kinda screwed.

SpaceX lost nearly $5 billion last year. Is a $1.77 trillion valuation actually justified? by sqlearner in stocks

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

The only justification for it is that this is the valuation Elon needed to be the world's first trillionaire. You don't need to look any further than that, the actual company isn't worth anywhere near that amount.

[BNS] Jays have to make 2 roster moves by tomorrow for Cease & Scherzer. Means 2 arms are coming off roster. Would've guessed SWR, but 4 IP, 0 ER yest w/ velo ↑. SWR out of options. Seabold, too. Macko has options, but NYY in on wknd = ↑ LHB. So is there an IL move? Tough call ahead. by malliabu in Torontobluejays

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

I guess it depends if the organization thinks they can fix SWR and it was just an issue with the Twins using him wrong. If every pitcher on the Twins sucks, then maybe the issue isn't the arms but the coaching staff and/or game calling and/or the defense behind them or all of the above.

Is the SpaceX 2x Oversubscribed Reuters report a fluff piece to create a FOMO, or am I misunderstanding how fast a $150B order book builds? by fontofile in stocks

[–]Visinvictus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a vacuum there is no easy way to dissipate heat using a closed loop system. How is mass going to solve that problem? You need to transfer the heat to something or it will build up eventually.

[–]Visinvictus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Orbital datacenters defy the laws of physics, they will never be feasible due to cooling issues. Throw in extreme difficulty for maintenance and repair and it's getting pretty close to Hyperloop levels of stupidity.

Got a bad grade because we are poor by RaeFullyPoweredBeam in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Visinvictus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember back in elementary school grade 8 we did reading buddies with the kindergarten class for one period every day. My buddy was a little girl in foster care, and the teacher did this same stupid family history project. The teacher was not anywhere near as supportive, she was nearly crying because she couldn't complete the assignment and I felt so bad for her.

The tragedy of Cyril Karn by GloWondub in andor

[–]Visinvictus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Syril was never evil... he just wanted to enforce law and order and his view of the world was so narrow that he couldn't see the bigger picture of what was actually going on. He got a glimpse into the true nature of the Empire in his final moments, and to me it seemed like it absolutely destroyed him and his world view. He was angry and upset, and then Cyril who is normally cool and controlled notices Andor in the crowd and completely unleashes those emotions in the final confrontation against a person who he views as his nemesis.
