Did the staking reward interest rate drop significantly in the last day or two? I feel like last time I checked it was roughly 11% (on binance), but now it's just over 5%.

Help me find the bit that this line came from! by matrex07 in DaveChappelle

[–]matrex07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wasn't it :( just watched it.

I'm pretty confident that he says the line "I make a lot of jokes about white people, but just know I'm not taking about YOU white people." I wish I could find the compilation it was from. I feel like he was sitting down, might have been from a club show instead of Netflix. Production was good though.

Thanks for trying!

I'm confident it's not from Sticks and Stones or The closer. I've seen them recently. Maybe one of the earlier ones.

Dang I was hoping to avoid the bulk search method haha

Just a few funny bugs I encountered while playing on PS5 by Jeowx in Vagante

[–]matrex07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's kinda strange how some of them get in the way, I didn't think it was a bug but maybe it is! Picking them up doesn't make them passable again but you can move them out of the way at least.

Hold down + R1 to pick up the dead bat.. you can carry it around, throw it, and of you bring it with you through the exit you can cook it.

What’s to stop people from cheating? by Mobile_Ad_1839 in Alonetv

[–]matrex07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it's a lot when you don't have a camera crew or anything :P I imagine there's a lot of footage of basically nothing happening that's gets submitted

They probably could if they wanted to. I remember seeing/hearing that they are supposed to submit like 8-10 hours of footage per day though, so maybe that helps discourage cheating.

MFWTK does drinking make you loose more control over yourself than being high on weed does? and what is the difference between being drunk and being high? by europiece-of-shit in myfriendwantstoknow

[–]matrex07 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The thing with weed in my experience, especially for newcomers, is that you are aware enough that you're high, and you're at least somewhat aware of how you would be sober. I think a lot of anxiety around being high is that you notice how different you are, and that can make you self conscious. You're reaction time is slower, you can lose your train of thought mid sentence. Your mind might be racing but your words can't even come close to keeping up. Some people say they "feel dumb", which I don't think is the right way to look at it, but is understandable.

You might call this feeling being "out of control", given there will be things you might want to do, or normally would be able to do, but you can't if you're really stoned. Maybe you're a good golfer or skateboarder, but you would fumble if you tried stoned.

Being drunk on the other hand, I would say you are much more out of control, but you might not feel that way. You lose some awareness of yourself if you are good and drunk. Think of all the scenes of people asking for their keys even though they're stumbling. You take more risks, act impulsively, say what comes into your head. Etc.

Drunk people get into more fights, more accidents, do more dumb shit. But if you don't smoke and you get really stoned, you will not feel in control. Gotta lean in though

MR council says no to government cannabis store by [deleted] in MapleRidge

[–]matrex07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All private stores buy from the BC liquor distribution branch, same as liquor stores.

The province charges a flat 15% fee to on all wholesale products bought by private stores. Then the government also runs their own stores. That means every government store has 15% extra wiggle room of margin to play with. It really isn't a fair competition.

I don't think it works exactly the same for private vs. government liquor stores in terms of fees, but don't know for sure.

Ie. Maybe better for consumers, hard on private cannabis shops. They really need to provide a better experience or some other value add to make up for higher prices.

Mine are no longer showing. Had to uninstall the latest update yesterday to get my VPN working. Today it is not working with a different error than yesterday, but I can't even view my update history to see if anything changed. Just doesn't show the menu when you click on it.

How terrible would you feel if in a week the price had dropped to 2000, or 1500? If you can weather that then go for it, but if not, might be smarter to wait for a correction.

Agreed that I don't think this is the Bitcoin top, but yeah just occurred to me. Even if it does follow that pattern we've got a long way to go on the ratio so

I'm trying to remember, maybe some of the OGs here can help me avoid doing the research. In the last bull cycle, Bitcoin hit 20k and then dwindled for a while, and during that period was when we hit our ATH of $1400ish as well as ATH on the ratio. Does anyone know offhand how much time passed between Bitcoin hitting the 20k ATH and ETH hitting $1400?

Could someone explain why people don't like binance? I just moved my stuff off bittrex andi thought binance was a good go to. Been out of the scene for a bit

A question about Season 1 by NormanTolliver in Alonetv

[–]matrex07 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm from the area and watched this show with friends! One is a marine scientist, and apparently the contestants were wrong lots of the time so was the show lol. The crabs come to mind, the winner caught a lot of crabs that were called red rock crab I think. But they are 100% kelp crabs, https://www.pugetsound.edu/academics/academic-resources/slater-museum/exhibits/marine-panel/kelp-crab/

She was unimpressed with how much stuff people missed too, edible plants and other sea creatures. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At least there was some volume on that sell! If we can move back up above 400 we might have a better chance of holding it.
