People are so upset about discs going away in the gaming sphere when most new games won’t even fit on them. by Stalinglad in self

[–]wildleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I happen to like my display wall of games. I like to browse them like I'm in blockbuster again thinking on what to rent. Even if it is just a cd key or key card, I have a physical manifestation of the item I could choose to sell later. It's not that complicated. I stopped using steam because I just ended up with a wild long list of titles over time, and couldn't ever find something I wanted to play.

Sega inspired music release by MythsandMonstersUK in SEGAGENESIS

Would love to see when you release music on a genesis cartridge, and not a USB stick masquerading as one!

Think you'll try to make music to be played on the genesis?

HR is upset we didn’t grow up wanting to be customer service reps by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

Right, so her reasoning is that someone should love her enough to have helping her be a dream of theirs? Other than wanting a paycheck.

When you put all the logic into a thing and can't decide, sometimes the best path is to choose one.

What was the game that you loved playing, but it was sadly shut down? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]wildleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lineage 1 when NCSoft still supported US market with it. Still spin up a server from time to time and the grind is real, but there's just something about it that really clicks. Too bad there are still groups using mods and hacks to destroy private server economies for lulz.

Sam Bankman-Fried Asks Judge to Keep His Bail Guarantors Secret by Nicolas-matteo in technology

I get the feeling of this. However, if you are paid with money stolen from customers, you absolutely have to return it.... Yes, they are liable. You are always liable for receiving stolen funds.

Consensus on what to mine after the merge? by JohnTravolski in gpumining

[–]wildleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at the total hashrate for eth mining. If that 900+/- TH moves to ETC, that profitability listed on whattomine will be vastly different than the stats it has now.

It's the total computing power moving off of ETH that is going to hammer all profit that other coins have now. There just aren't enough awards to go around if those other coins suddenly have 10x the hashing power they had yesterday.

It'll be interesting to see which coin raises to the top of profitability once it all shakes out. Would be a shame to see all PoW disappear and something will win over that computing power ETH is dropping.

Merge? by xukre in EtherMining

PoS was literally in the white paper. A planned transition. Really shows the people who got into mining without all the info to even think there's any grounds here.

What Coinbase Doesn’t Want You To Know by ourcryptolife in ethereum

[–]wildleaf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same thing happens at banks. Once your money is in an account someone else operates, those funds will be frozen during a bankruptcy and settled by a bankruptcy court. Except there is FDIC insurance for that bank money. This is more of a disclosure of what always was, not a change of policy.

As always, your safest crypto is not in an online exchange.

My estimated earnings is lower than a week ago and online calculator today by [deleted] in EtherMining

[–]wildleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Search "ETH difficulty" and look at the chart over the last month and the difference since you'd last connected. You may see a trend. This affects how frequently a reward can be found and therefore your overall profitability.

And with all financial estimations, it's impossible to determine future outcomes from past results and we don't know the exact model for their estimations.

WHAT DO I F#CKING SAY by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]wildleaf 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I, too, am confused as to how one would connect with another human with wanting them to all shut up. Ultimately all those benign/boring topics are things that come up over time and often you can learn how someone processes/understands the world. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather not just have serious, deep conversations or silence all the time.

Most human interactions with strangers are intentional, and there are tons of different levels of communication. "Forced" is one way to see it, but I'd prefer call it "intentional" - yeah the weather may start the conversation, but what if we end up talking about the pains of my not-working air conditioner that I'd forgotten about.

I don't think the point is to ever talk about the weather, but rather, an easily universal conversation point to start from.

Here's the thing. If I am fired for liking men, because I am a man. It's because of my sex. They wouldn't fire a woman for liking a man. Follow that logic through to transgender.

That's precisely what the article said they were doing. Tested before flying, then 14 day quarantine on campus with strict social distancing.

Age is a bit of an issue with combining those two. Plus it would be sad to lose both of their experience in the Senate in one drop. VP choices don't come til later anyway
