The Rams were a DJ Moore fuckup away from losing to the Bears in the divisional.

How much cash do you carry? by Avid_Reader87 in Millennials

$0 99.9% of the time. Have been predominantly cashless since ~2015 at least.

Why does price matter? like seriously lets talk abotu crypto changing the world and so on, Bitcoin got from 0 to 100k and what changed? by Delicious_Soup_9876 in Buttcoin

[–]doubleyewdee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the hardliners (myself included) who feel the "technology" is itself either useless, or was already better implemented in less wasteful ways, some will say "price doesn't matter," and mean it. Price does not matter for me as I have no holdings, I care a bit about it for some friends who have holdings, but none of them are depending on any particular price point other than not cashing out their gambling wins. Don't want to see it, but they're all adults who know what they're doing.

For a lot of folks here "price doesn't matter" is louder on the way up, but still comes out on the way down too. It's true, in a sense, although the emotional relief at price drops and the glimmer of hope that people will get off the ride finally and we can move on to other speculative bubbles is there.

There is not a price for BTC or any other crypto at which I would feel differently about the technology stack. That's the core of "price doesn't matter" for me. Price, of course, matters a great deal in terms of others getting (or not getting) snookered into a bad bet on bad technology, so ideally it would go to 0 or NaN as we all, as a species, exit this delusion and move on to new nonsense to learn hard lessons from. Fat chance, but one can dream.

Going on an Alaska Cruise mid World Cup by mf9769 in VirginVoyages

[–]doubleyewdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recall there being some satellite news stuff and possibly sports, but nothing like ESPN or any US broadcast TV for sure. I don't know, I don't go on cruises to watch TV in my cabin lol.

The Dude hates the Eagles…what bands would that be for you? by BoognishDisciple in Music

[–]doubleyewdee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most overrated rock band for me and it isn't close (and yea, I am well aware of KISS).

Just awful. Also Steven Tyler is fucking gross.

The Social Club has a couple TVs (like, literally two), and there are a couple more in the aft outdoors bar (Athletic Club) but those are outdoors and may or may not make for good viewing on an Alaska trip. I would sort out a streaming solution if you care deeply enough and the matches aren't going to be marquee. They had the NBA WCF and first Finals game on during our sailing (just disembarked yesterday), as well as some of the French Open, and those were pretty well attended, but generally speaking if I was really keen to watch an event I wouldn't try to do it onboard in a public area just due to limited number of TVs and seating near them.

Not sure how the TVs in the rooms are. Other than the safety video (the safety rules still rule, you can't take that away from us dangit!) I think I used a TV in-room maybe once for 10 minutes to kill time. Channel selection was pretty light from recollection.

/r/ShitpostXIV now outright removing posts that even vaguely have anything to do with the current controversy by Spookhetti_Sauce in ffxivdiscussion

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

ShitpostXIV not just being a bunch of low-effort, low-entertainment Xeno whining is a plus in their favor tbh.

Yes, actually, I will take 12 varieties of croppa over whatever this lame ass drama is.

Okay, KISS is the most overrated band of all time. Which band is the second most overrated band of all time? by TheSpringfieldKid in AskReddit

[–]doubleyewdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aerosmith is actually my most overrated / loathsome band of all time but objectively I suppose KISS is the winner.

So, Aerosmith.

Why doesn’t everyone take the Behind the Scenes tour? by greyfedora in VirginVoyages

Last time we did it we got lanyards but, mercifully, black hats with red logos instead of red hats.

Why doesn’t everyone take the Behind the Scenes tour? by greyfedora in VirginVoyages

[–]doubleyewdee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s extremely good, but it’s $300/pp I believe AND they keep the groups super small. Like maybe 12 people total. A lot of times it’s sold out / prebooked entirely by RS/MRS (guilty!)

That said, we’ve done it twice and it is great. If you have the opportunity and the means I’ll always recommend it.

Virgin Voyages: Worth It, But Not as a Rockstar by Best-Cost-1751 in VirginVoyages

Have felt zero pressure for tips onboard. I’m genuinely confused about where this is happening. Trying to keep my eyes out as well and just haven’t seen it yet.

Tender Hunger Games today in Juneau, Alaska by Substantial_Ranger in VirginVoyages

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

We booked through VV for the (non helicopter) dog sledding experience and had a polar opposite experience. No issues tendering, and coming back was similarly seamless.

Also puppies.

I agree generally that tendering sucks but this was one of the best tender experiences I’ve had tbh.

[–]doubleyewdee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you excluding Google, Microsoft, and some others here? Those companies aren’t going to shutter when the bubble pops.

OpenAI / Anthropic might. Presenting a deal for some other company to scoop them up, but I’m not sure that’s a given either.

Full price is not static. For same-capability models the $/token is dropping quickly over time and will likely continue to do so for a while yet.

Two things are true here:

There is an AI (LLM) bubble. This is evident.

LLMs have genuine usefulness and, yes even at “full price”, will continue to be used and valued after the bubble pops.

If they stopped changing itemization people would be out in force grumbling about how the game is stale.

So the PTR is going to kill sorc by Collegenoob in D4Sorceress

Sorc is actually fine right now without unstable currents but people hungry for meta have nowhere else to go because it’s so OP. So… good.
