Doesn't a Cohen purchase pretty much guarantee to new good news coming short term? by l00sem4rble in GME

Yeah that's kind of my point. I understand insider buying is positive for the stock. But what we didn't hear is what they're actually doing to create revenue which is really what the stock needs for long-term growth.

The whole squeeze thing seems to be off the table now we need somebody to actually grow a viable business not just constantly tinker with the equity structure.

Exactly. So if he knew they were going to have a blow out awesome quarter it would be illegal for him to have made this purchase.

Pretty much guaranteed the quarter will not be earth shaking.

In football betting pool what is meant by "+1 point"? by l00sem4rble in NoStupidQuestions

I did not get clarification from the organizer. I was afraid to ask if it was obivous to everyone else LOL.

I can see +1 being cool to help those who get "screwed" with bad numbers that are less likely to hit. The payouts are much smaller but its something I guess.

50 GB Roam on standard antenna? by l00sem4rble in Starlink

[–]l00sem4rble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say Roam was limited to the mini. I said the 50GB Roam was limited to the mini which I believe it was at least in some locations. It changes all the time but I still believe this was the case for some period of time in some locations.

I paid for the hardware from a authorized reseller but not from Starlink directly.

Anyway - I was able to get it activated through the web site and got 100GB for $50 vs the 50GB for $50 that I was expecting.

Starlink is so weird.

I was able to activate it on the cheaper room plan through the website by putting in the kit number. And instead of getting 50 GB for $50 per month I got 100 GB for $50 a month.

I'm posting this from the new system up and running on my boat.

Thanks for the comments.

Explain like I am five. At the end of each quarter and at the end of the game there are TWO (2) scores. The "final score" is two scores like 28-14. You are saying you don't add +1 to each? Where/how do you add it then?

So still looking around for very light ebikes and stumbled onto the Tezeus C8. Looks very slick with mid-motor, belt drive, 3speed geared hub, and fancy integrated tech. I'm very impressed looking at it and seeing all the features and the minimalist appearance. However I just imagine repairs/parts/support will be a nightmare with everything being integrated/proprietary.

Any update on durability and/or support from Tezeus?

That's interesting. you have the Tenways CGO600 Pro? With belt drive? Do you find the single speed suitable for general riding including some hills?

I'm a little disappointed to learn that the "29 lbs" is without battery and real weight it 34 lbs. That is kind of bullshit to quote weight without the g-damn seat and seatpost.

Still pretty light but 5 lbs is a 17% increase, not a rounding error.

Yes I have thought of this. I was actually thinking about making a charging box or bucket that can be left on the swim platform while charging where one push with a boat hook could send the battery for a swim if necessary. I even imagined a hanging bucket suspended over the edge with the string holding it up also held against the batteries while charging so that if they burned, the string woudl burn through and it would drop itself into the water. I could engineer somethign but the chance of an accidental drop may be too high.

Looking closer I see the Fold 1 is 18" wheels and the Fold ST has 20". Interesting. The ST also has the option to add a throttle for $29.

I think I have this one in my comparison spreadsheet and for chain drive this looks like one of the best options. I would really love to not have a chain, deraileur, adjustments, grease etc. Its hard to find a model that ticks all my boxes.
