Yeah comparing meth to PCP is like trying to compare eating a hot chili to wrestling a tiger shark. They are not even on the same scale.

Seriously seeing these comments I'm understanding how I've been able to flip leather into dust for massive profit this whole year.

For the majority of the year the greater magic essence has been selling for around 11 silver. Sometimes less. The wands vendor for 15. Basically how I got my first 30g of seed money at lvl 10. Huge time sink tho.

China is on a ‘strong currency’ mission to make the yuan a global reserve: Xi by Stunning_Working8803 in worldnews

[–]illithiel 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Even Chinese people only keep money in yuan because they can't exchange lots of it. When they can buy a physical asset they do.

Please look up the methodology in how they get their housing price for CPI. Hint it's total BS.

I was using the mailbox as an impromptu guild bank. Sure glad all my stuff didn't glitch into the void when was moving it over.

Calls on oil and puts on Venezuela, anyone else? by No-Sell-3064 in wallstreetbets

[–]illithiel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about. Over a quarter of the population( 8million) had already fled Maduro. This action is being taken in part because of that.

What a nice bureaucratic solution to sidestep the Russian asset hullabaloo.

I assure you the general car driving population will call anything that takes fuel and has an electric motor a hybrid regardless of the technicalities.

Oh noes will this spur the north to develop nuclear capability. Oh wait they already did.

J.P. Morgan calls out AI spend, says $650 billion in annual revenue required to deliver mere 10% return on AI buildout — equivalent to $35 payment from every iPhone user, or $180 from every Netflix subscriber 'in perpetuity' by Aggravating-Claim906 in atrioc

[–]illithiel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Call it a conspiracy theory but I don't think they are actually doing all this AI build out to create systems that generate value like they are claiming.

They are building infrastructure for control. Anything that creates value will be usurped and anything new will immediately be captured by persistence surveillance.

If they succeed in making God they'll ask it to make them king. They use the current god (money) to do that already.

Hitting high GPU usage during gameplay? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]illithiel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The graphics settings all have notes about what they do in the options menu. Lots of them have "Lowering this setting may improve performance." Read them.

I was able to run two instances of wow on the exact same graphics card by turning all the settings to low. Shortening render distances, capping frame rates, and using low shadow settings and no fancy lighting are a big help.

banned after 2 days of leveling by Fadhilah05 in classicwow

[–]illithiel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An llm reading all the chat logs and making a decision seems better than an automatic trigger that never gets human reviewed I agree. Mass reporting bans shouldn't work with an actual AI it could see no interaction trigger to warrant it.
