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: Occupied Land acknowledgements
When did acknowledging that your institution is on “Located on Occupied and Unceeded XYZ Ancestral Homelands” become a thing? Is it anything other than empty virtue signaling? I have yet to encounter this. What are examples of this? There are no examples of this. It doesn't exist, just like DEI doe...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
I think (note I said ‘think’ rather than the popular ‘feel’ often used by the woke) Sorry. But this use of "feel" rather than "think" predates woke by decades and decades. I've been railing against it similarly for decades, saying "I don't want to know how you feel, I want to know what you think." ...

Buffett can tour a factory and get insider info. He defines value as great companies that are underpriced.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Dualstow, we expect more of you. You accused Vinny of still using his old computer while a new one he spent good money on sits "next to" the old one. Turns out that's not even close to true! It's probably a good 2 feet farther away than that. Please do some more fact checking before posting next ti...

Re: Replacing Xfinity (Comcast) modem
Took the modem out of the box, read all the instructions, and noted all relevant information related to it.
Question.
Can I use a splitter to send the Xfinity (Comcast) input to two separate modems? Or, am I only allowed only one modem connection?

Microsoft has unveiled AI PCs. Now, I don’t know whether I want one or not, but all I can think about, Vinny, is your yet unused dream machine sitting next to the old one you’re working on.

Vinny, if Verizon FiOS is available in your area you might tell Comcast you are considering switching. Could be a good bargaining tactic to get Comcast to give you a better deal.
