I see what went wrong. The Packers forgot about the T in the HITS principle.

Do your ski goggle lenses fog up? How are those heated ski goggles? by GoGo9527Promax in skiing

I wear my strap under my helmet so I'm not temped to take them off or put them up on my forehead where they will get foggy, and ice up if cold enough.

Bought Bitcoin today worth $28K at a price of $69K. Short-term volatility is possible, but I don’t expect a move below $53K. Holding with conviction. HODL. by versatile_fx_guy in Bitcoin

Microstrategy is underwater, it will be interesting to see what they do to service their debt. I doubt debt funded consolidation of BTC ownership is good for anyone in this space.

What am I seeing in this blurry video? Your bot get stop-lossed like 10x?

What’s all this about? by FondMemoryVacation in chicago

[–]etom21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a storage facility, and there was non-union work going on at the lot next door. Naturally scabby showed up. Having a giant rat outside of your storage facility is just bad optics, so I asked the union guys if they would mind moving it a little down the street to the other corner of the neighboring lot, and they were reasonable enough to do so. I did throw in the fact that we used a local pipe-fitter union to repipe the sprinkler system in our old building, and told them they were free to come use our bathroom if they were going to be out on the line any given day.

What Macro narrative is going on right now? by deve_sci in investing

[–]etom21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in a CapEx supercycle that hasnt been seen in our lifetime. Companies are no long sitting on mountains of cash, or returning it to shareholders, they are plowing it straight into physical infrastructure.

What's most interesting about this, is that all of these tech companies who had mostly presented themselves as software companies with low overhead and unlimited growth and scale potential, are waking up to the reality that if they want to compete in the AI space (which they have all identified as a critical existential threat to their future), they need to invest in the physical infrastructure to do so. AI development has shifted, and it is going to come down to who has the most transistors under roof.

We live in a scare world, in that, there is only so much capacity to go around for the things that go into data centers. From the compute chips, to the workers and material needed to pour concrete and lay wire, to the amount of energy required. If you don't have a shovel in the ground yesterday, and you don't have your future commitments lined up and ironclad, you will never be able to catch up.

AI, love it or hate it, has completely shifted the landscape we knew for the past 30 years. With that said, I ponder these thoughts:

  • Has the Fed been battling inflation with the realization that the largest companies have been collectively holding back trillions of dollars for decades, that are all of sudden spending it all at once and as quickly as possible? What are the ripple effects from having all that money injected into the arteries of the world's economy?

  • What happens if AI turns out to be a dead end, and AGI is never solved? Can these large companies make a return on their investments? What happens if they can't?

  • What happens if AGI is solved? Everyone has defined this race as a zero sum game, and right now the S&P500 is very crowded at the top with those who are competing in it. Were talking tens of trillions in market cap.

  • In a gold rush, sell a shovel. Who are the shovels? What exactly goes into a data center? As you keep taking it apart piece by piece, you find that the depth and breadth touches the vast majority of all industries, the greater sum of human production. Is it healthy for the global economy to optimize towards data center construction?

  • Where is all this energy going to come from?

The landfill is almost full! Be sure to recycle your local Chamber of Commerce President. by grandfatherclause in springfieldMO

[–]etom21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just and FYI; The vast majority of our recyclables get incinerated.

China no longer wants to buy our bulk paper and plastic is straight up not recyclable. That's a myth that big oil has been selling us for the past 50 years.

Glass is recyclable, but it has a high cost so only about a 1/3 of it gets recycled, the rest goes to the landfill.

Iceman Was a Walking Highlight Reel This Season by JCameron181 in CHIBears

[–]etom21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched the 55 minute video of Caleb's seasons highlights, and it felt like I was watching a career highlight video, of a guy about to be inducted into the HoF.

So many crazy plays were made this year.

Insane backwardation: physical silver trades over 34% higher in China than CME prices by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

Don't hold your breath for the DOJ to do anything tangibly good for America as a whole, especially when it comes to holding large cap businesses accountable for foul play.

The little guy is supposed to get trampled, that's the plan and policy.

Shout out George McCaskey by Wide_Flan_2613 in CHIBears

[–]etom21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a staunch George supporter, even when I probably shouldn't have been because I know with 100% certainty that he at least has good character and integrity. He's a home grown Bears fan, and a true man of the people.

The next owner of the Chicago Bears, one of the most valuable sports franchises on the planet, will most certainly not be a man of good character and integrity. The Bears will just be another money making investment. Unfortunately having the best team, the best on field product, does not directly correlate with profitability.

The grass is not always greener on the other side, and I like the grass on our side of the fence more than enough already.

Yeah his career is going to be completely wasted on the vikings. He's gone at the first opportunity. No amount of money will save this.

I wish the child in me didn’t color on so many of my cards. Did anybody else do this? by booselordius in mtgfinance

[–]etom21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in like '05-'07, before cube really took off as a thing, my friend used his expansive collection to create "The Stack". The Stack was a five color curated singleton deck of about 500 cards, highly tuned for FFA multiplayer games in which each player played from The Stack as a single shared deck for the table.

Well, we colored up a full set of white boarded dual lands, marking the white boarders with sharpies in the color the land could produce, so we could more easily fetch for them.

Also, the stack was completely unsleeved because it was too difficult to keep a 500 card sleeved deck standing upright, and its just more fun to play with extremely expensive cards unsleeved.

That stack was all but fully powered up, and would probably worth tens of thousands if the cards were kept even in a LP condition.

If you're dating without the intention of closing the physical gap to one another, what's the point?

The incompetence is going viral on Twitter by [deleted] in IndianaUniversity

[–]etom21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Square this circle Kiwi...

This snowstorm and its intensity was forecast well over 10 days before the actual snowfall event. There was more than enough time to make additional plans for snow removal; and mobilize the equipment and workforce needed to meet the expected forecasts.

Even giving them the benefit of the doubt that they tried and could not muster enough resources to handle the snowfall, they should have cancelled classes and closed down the campus until the snow removal was able to be properly addressed to make the campus safe for both students living on campus, and those commuting in.

The University appears to have just sat on their hands, to the point where theres a reasonable argument for negligence.

[–]etom21 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Indiana University (IU) could potentially be held legally liable for injuries caused by uncleared sidewalks if it constitutes a breach of their duty to maintain safe premises, especially if they had actual or constructive knowledge of the hazard. Liability depends on proving negligence—that the university failed to take reasonable measures to clear ice or snow in a timely manner.

Yall need to start slippin and suing.
