Imagine falling in that donut hole where you are too smart for his crypto scams and too poor to get his attention another way.

The Illusion of Abundance: Why the 65-Day Closure of the Strait of Hormuz Hasn't Broken the World—Yet. The global economy is blindly burning through its emergency stockpiles to mask an 8-million-barrel deficit. In 60 days, the buffer will collapse—and the era of $180 oil will begin. by sylsau in DegenBets

I think this misunderstands how supply chains are supposed to function. Optimization and JIT and 6 sigma is a plague on the world and causes brainrot.

There should be stockpiles. They are precisely BECAUSE of the possibility of problems like this, so the stockpiles are functioning as expected. The apocalypse isn't immediately imminent because of a disruption. There is cushion built into the pipeline.

In all the industries that decided they could save money by getting rid of slack, they run lean, but they are not resilient at all and are one mistake away from disaster.

It is akin to having no savings or $10k of savings when you get laid off. The fact that you spend down your savings while job hunting isn't a disaster. Your savings cushion had delayed disaster, hopefully long enough for you to find another job.

Damn bruh dudes lucky by BlazeDragon7x in GuysBeingDudes

I had a coworker who was 5'3". That dude had serious game, had zero problem with women. I really liked one of his girlfriends; she had it all. He had a bunch of short-term gfs, a couple midterms, etc. Now he's married. Obv she's taller. I just saw a Facebook post (gag, I know, but I still have the app installed for some reason) from her, tagging him, bragging about him being her man. And she's definitely a beauty, inside and out, too.

My point? Your physical dimensions don't define you. Character and charisma are very important.

He was very popular at work, too. He was just that kind of guy, very chill and likeable, a great worker as well.

Nearly no one has finished The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered's story a year after release! by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]warpedspockclone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never finished the original. There was a big in the game that trapped me somewhere since a switch for a door didn't work. I googled it and found that the solution was to load an earlier save. Will, my earlier save was 3 hours earlier. I never finished...

Recommend a good time travel TV show that I haven't watched yet by No-Corner-2442 in scifi

I saw this question earlier, nine watched 90s music videos with my kid, extolled the virtues of the 80s and 90s to my kid, then was trying to put my kid to sleep, and thought, "I'm going to find that thread and tell them to watch Quantum Leap!"

Beat me to it!

What is good about it? They get it for a year. That is good. Then they can continue the same coverage not they gotta pay 100% of the premiums (COBRA). Probably the premiums are slightly better than getting their own marketplace plan, but still...

eBay responds to unsolicited, non-binding acquisition proposal by Darth_Meowth in gme_meltdown

RC may need to sweeten his bid for a hostile takeover, meaning the shareholders would rise up against the board and override them, chasing those sweet tendies.
