It's so funny to see so many people on that forum still try to "explain away" gold's role in a portfolio. Unbelievable levels of willful blindness.

lmao touche!

Regarding the quantum discussion: I personally think it's safe to say that Bitcoin will likely be vulnerable to quantum attacks from sufficiently powerful systems sometime on the horizon. From what I understand however, the fix is pretty simple. The Bitcoin protocol can be updated without a hard for...

New ATH for BTC!

I wish I could be as mellow as Tyler in (bh) threads like the current one on the Golden Ratio portfolio proposed by Frank Vasquez. I tend to agree with a poster named 'breakfastinbed' who said, imagine rejecting a portfolio because of its name. Yeah, I can see someone casually pointing out that the...

Hahahha I wasn't even aware of her, er, extracurricular activities until the story broke.

Here are my Geekbench results for my new Core i9-14900KF CPU:

Not too shabby!

One of my former coworkers got fired from her (new) job after glorifying Kirk's assassination:

Yowza. I used to work right alongside this person.

Yeah it was also inaccessible on my end for a while. I was hoping it wasn't some kind of cyber attack.

This meme pretty much sums it up.

Completed build!

Brief specs:

- Core i9 14900KF
- 64GB DDR5 RAM
- RTX 5060 Ti GPU
- 2TB storage



Some benchmarks next.

New furnace acquired

I'll rock some benchmarks and let you know how it performs.

sorry, i5 here. I also have an i5. I'm thinking of picking up the i9 14900KF here today (it's on sale at my local electronics retailer) as an upgrade. With my GPU, the 5060 Ti, ASUS recommends a 650W power supply, which incidentally is exactly what I have. https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Accesso...

Are any of you guys rocking a later generation intel processor in their desktop? Specifically the i7 or i9 series? If so, how's the heat and power consumption?

Anyone else taking care of aging/elderly parents? Helloooo Smithers! My wife is visiting her father in the hospital daily. He’s not merely a 藥煲*He’s got multiple issues and I’m sorry to say his days are probably numbered. *Literally “medicine pot.” Figurately, someone who’s always sick. Oh man, sor...

Hey boyos! Momma Smithers is once again in town. The weather is beautiful, and fortunately not so hot that the house feels too warm. We had a recent discussion regarding finances. Looks like in the next couple years her pension amount will be decreasing pretty substantially. I'll probably be picking...

Thanks for the collection, Hal. I'm always interested in hearing/reading about these kinds of machinations.

I've been messing around with a few new computer systems lately as I went through a couple buy and return cycles at my local retailer. The manufacturer whose build quality I've been most impressed with lately out of left field? Asus. I've long been a fan of Lenovo ThinkPads. However, my gripe with L...

Vinny, it's funny that you started this thread, as I recently picked up an Android phone after being an iPhone user for 17 years. (Wow, time flies.) I didn't want to commit, so I picked up the Samsung Galaxy A06 for $122 CAD off of Amazon as an Android "tester". It turns out that this part...

July 29, 2010, Smithers IMG_0186.jpeg I wonder what I was doing on that day rather than buying Bitcoin... That would have been summer break from college and I had gone back home. I think that summer I ended up working at a Best Buy in their computer department. I was making something like $11 CAD p...

I cook with my microwave. ;D It actually does a decent job with potatoes and with broccoli. Or are you just heating up Taco Bell O0 Ours is getting senile though. And it’s a built-in. Not looking forward to replacing it. Mine too... a while back we thought ours needed a replacement. It turns out it...
