Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Something very satisfying about tech nostalgia. There's a fairly new video about the Texas Instruments computer (TI-99) as a "failure" on youtube, but I and a lot of other people had a great young adulthood learning BASIC on it. One of the things I miss about the old days was the boatload of discre...

Re: A history lesson for our crypto trolls

I wonder what SBF is thinking right now. From billionaire business prodigy to prison. Can't imagine that would put anyone on anything less than suicide watch. Don't know what he's thinking, but I remember listening to him on Sam Harris' podcast and not liking him. Not his philosophy -- too good to ...

Re: BTC in the PP

Interesting property of Bitcoin is that, like other commodities, as the price rises, more miners come online because it is now profitable where it wasn’t before. Likewise, hard to access gold becomes more worthwhile to dig up. However, with Bitcoin, the miners are competing for their share of daily...

Re: What is up with EFTPS?

I had created an account with login dot gov, but it wouldn’t send me on to the U.S. Treasury. Kept throwing a System Error.
Eventually, I was able to log in the old way, which I guess means my browser was recognized by login dot gov.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

Wow, very interesting read. Thank you for that, Mr and Mrs Smithers. I read and hear a lot about Zelensky and corruption but I mean he's there . He didn't abscond with cash, and Бог knows he could have. He only leaves to drum up more support for the war effort. (I don't want to cheapen things by say...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Smithers, maybe she doesn’t want to chime in — understandably — but I was wondering if your other half has any thoughts on the war. Does she like/dislike Zelensky? Is she optimistic? Hopeful? Pessimistic? Just curious.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

I’m decidedly unimpressive in person, M. I consider myself very lucky to have some long-time friends who know my quirks and put up with me. O0

Back on topic- do I dare ask Smithers what his fiancee thinks about all this? I don’t think he visits this subtopic. I’ll ask in the Check-in thread.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

Germany thwarted a planned attack by ISIS on Sweden’s Parliament building. Reddit: How could Ukraine do this? /s O0 One that bugs me is the use of "like", which has sadly expanded far beyond the Valley girls. Somebody will relay a story to me and say "I was like, 'what were you thinking?'". I'll rep...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

… Where did you read about the nuclear threat, Seajay? I have only read Putin’s veiled threats about using nukes, but only if the U.S. or another NATO nation were to cross the line by directly killing Russian troops. From Ukrainian military top brass, can't recall the name, TV news instead of being...

I don’t accept that we’re using the Ukrainians as cannon fodder, as if they are puppets and have no choice in the matter. Ukrainians feel betrayed by the US, As they should.

Well you’ve covered a lot of ground, M. I don’t know if any of it has anything to do with Putin.
But, our legal system does seem pretty messed up, in a multitude of ways.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

I kind of miss the conspiracy theorists during the aftermath of this Moscow attack, because I don’t know what to believe. Even though Putin almost certainly did bomb that apartment complex when he came to power a quarter century ago, I don’t think he did this. Isis took credit for it, after all. At ...
