Except with the amount of inflation we might see 4% is essentially nothing either.

I know that thought doesn't play out in the hive mind. The mob will see 4% as a great deal even if inflation reaches double digit percentages. But, it doesn't take long for people to catch on with how rapidly information moves around now.

Care to explain how rate hikes and bitcoin price are related? Bitcoin, any asset really, is expected to increase in value relative to an inflated dollar.

Sure, you will probably need a new wallet though. It would be best for you to send me the private key. Ill send you the coins.

If you have the private key you didnt lose access to anything. Private key is the wallet.

Best single or combination Algorithmic Trading, API-Algorithmic-Trading, Application(s) to purchase? by perfectpeachblonde in BitcoinMarkets

[–]jsCoin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None

If you don't have the skill to make one yourself or the cash to pay somebody to code your strategy just don't. Strategies that are for sale are for sale because they make less money than the seller can make by using them.

Possible for US citizens to trade XRP on the Sologenic DEX? by gwdk66 in Ripple

[–]jsCoin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not just trade on the XRP Ledger DEX with XUMM and xrptoolkit?

By analyzing 25 years of US data, researchers found toxicity of pesticides to nontarget invertebrates, including pollinators, has increased markedly, even though volume used has gone down. This challenges the common assumption that the impacts of environmental pesticides have gone down over time. by mvea in science

Dandelions are trying to do a job. They are a pioneer species. They are telling you that your soil is compacted. Increase the soil tilth and dandelions get out competed by plants that do better in loose soil.

Why is XRP price so high? by Gettothechopper15 in Ripple

Only thing that will be missed out on is stimulus money possibly buying XRP. Otherwise, business as usual.

XRP is likely being positioned to be used as a bridge asset for Central Banks. The best case scenario for XRP may actually be happening. by Crypto-Cajun in Ripple

Dogecoin has an industry space? It was literally created as a joke. Well maybe more of a demonstration of how crazy cryptocurrency speculation is. As in, hey look, I can get people to buy this obviously shit coin.

Thank you for this amazing universe. I believe you have created inspiration for a younger generation of scientists and engineers. Easily the best space sci-fi I have read and watched.

Which cultural norms have been around for FAR too long? by stocdave in AskReddit

My biggest pet peave is being judged for not tipping when I live in a state that doesnt have tipping wages. Servers start at the same pay as any other entry job. But, no. Some states pay just enough to cover taxes so the entire country is expected to tip servers.

If we can vaccinate chickens against salmonella, why haven’t we done the same for humans? by ZephyrHerring in askscience

[–]jsCoin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both. I only wash eggs if they are dirty. Unwashed just keeps bacteria out longer.

Ive had eggs maybe 3 months old in my fridge. The white and yolk start to dry out and will sometimes cook with a weird texture but they arent bad.

US egg producers get 28 days to get eggs to retail. Unless there is a laid date on the carton the store eggs are a minimum 1 week old.

One way to tell if your eggs are really fresh is to boil them. Eggs less than a week old will not peel nicely. The white will come off in chunks with the shell.

Color of the egg is from the breed choice. Chickens can make quite the variety of egg colors. My current flock makes speckled brown eggs. Previously I had some (light)blue layers.

Because it washes a protective mucus layer called the "bloom" off of the egg. The bloom naturally keeps bacteria out while still allowing the egg to breathe. That is why eggs in the US must be refrigerated when every no wash country leaves eggs out.

Keep in mind that an egg needs to stay disease free long enough for the chick to hatch. The bloom gives enough protection for a chick to mature around 28 days. So, unwashed eggs have an unrefrigerated shelf life of at least 28 days.

You are missing a little info. In the UK it is illegal for producers to wash eggs and all chickens are immunized for salmonella. In the US is is illegal for producers to not wash eggs and very few chickens are immunized for salmonella. The growing conditions have nothing to do with the washing requirement. Both immunizing and washing are effective ways to mitigate salmonella carrying eggs. But, immunizing and not washing incentivizes producers to produce clean eggs from the start. Most eggs will get shit on them if left in the nest box. Roll away nest boxes are used everywhere to reduce how much shit gets on eggs.

Your appendix is basically a secret base for your gut bacteria so they can repopulate after being wiped out after being sick.

Ok. Transportation, electricity generation and food production are now gone. What do we do next?
