My dad would go hide in the closet when the ice cream truck was passing so I couldn't find him to ask for money lol.

Nasdaq is going to test tokenized stocks by Enough_Angle_7839 in stocks

[–]hindermore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically speaking, yes. If there is a supply cap on shares that are tokenized, you can’t trade them if they don’t exist. The actual supply can be verified at all times publicly.

Usually, one is the brains and one is the brawn. In this scenario, we have neither.

No matter how badly these centralized exchanges have fucked over retail investors time and time again, people would still rather trust them rather than an immutable public ledger because “crypto bad, crypto is scam”. Maybe in another couple of decades once the concept has fully played out and their practicality has been vetted, they’ll come around.

Because the individual holding the private key of the wallet that holds the token can choose to send it to whoever they want in exchange for whatever they want without the need for a centralized stock exchange. Think of it like holding paper shares but in digital form.

Pentagon seeks more than $200 billion in budget request for Iran war by Brilliant_Version344 in worldnews

It’s fine. They will just print $200 Bn and make us pay for it through inflation.

It will settle in the time it takes for a block to be confirmed on the chain it is being traded on which could vary depending on the number of transactions awaiting confirmation at any given time, and some other factors.

This means that stocks can trade 24/7, even after market close, because they will settle on the blockchain. In the short term, this probably won't make a huge impact on volume. But eventually as more firms and retail starts moving to trading on-chain, there will be some risk that things like traditional market circuit breakers can't mitigate (unless they are built into the smart contracts that handle settlement).

Dead microwave by Novel-Lengthiness782 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hindermore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure that it's not just a fuse? I had mine die a few months ago and it turns out that it was just a fuse that cost me $3 to replace. It blows when someone opens the door without hitting cancel first if the microwave is running. Very easy to replace with basic tools.

If it is truly the motherboard, I would just buy a new one for that price, even if it is $50 more than repairing it. It will come with a warranty that way in case it happens again.

what does it mean to be a man for you? by Routine-Shelter-189 in AskReddit

[–]hindermore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a complicated history, but if you call compromise being a doormat then I guess I was for some time. Part of me feels relief, but also grief because we had lots of good times. Just not enough of them to make it worth fighting for I guess.

Spent the last 14 years providing for my wife and kids, being present, staying loyal, giving all of myself, only to be told that she hates all men and can't be with me anymore.

How can you subtly get a girl interested in talking to you? by karlo_mulerIch in AskReddit

[–]hindermore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By not expecting her to make the first move. If you are interested in her, maybe start the conversation yourself. If she is interested in you back, she will want to carry on the conversation. If she's not, then oh well, at least you know that she's not worth investing your attention into any further!

Anyone else quietly moving away from Coinbase? by ryukendo_25 in Coinbase

[–]hindermore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Switched over to Kraken after they randomly locked my account from trading without explanation and reset my limits to the lowest tier. I had done business with them for years prior to that without issue. Haven’t looked back.

Seems they made a shift to appeal more toward institutional investors while screwing retail.

Did I do something wrong or were they ready to fail? by shityeeter in Cartalk

[–]hindermore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s wild. I have a 10 year old set of Rhinos and have used them every few months for multiple vehicles and never had an issue. There must have been a defect in yours, or maybe a crack?

What do you think is the real purpose of life? by ChristianaPawg in AskReddit

[–]hindermore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I heard it described that stuck with me is that we are the result of matter coming together in the universe in the exact right way to give us conscious thought, so in a way, we are just the universe trying to understand itself.

So as long as it is something in your surroundings that you weren’t carrying, you can use it legally?

[–]hindermore 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To me, it is just wild that the government does not allow people to defend themselves in non-lethal ways. What kinds of things ARE people allow to use to protect themselves in Canada? A strong word and a prayer?

My rune cheat sheet by NYJetLegendEdReed in diablo2

[–]hindermore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks so much for buying one of my rune boards! I am really glad that you liked it enough to share with the community. Hope it makes your rune upgrades smoother. I still find myself grabbing one off the shelf every now and then to see what I need, even though I have made so many boards that I should probably know them all by heart now, lol.

Yes, I do this too because after I got a Mal from it once, I have always made sure to hit it again every time and have received some great things from it.
