I convinced my coworker, who is going to quit with me, that we should do the bare minimum because we've got new jobs we're moving to and if we get fired, we can just get that sweet unemployment until our new jobs start. She was down for it and I didn't expect her to be this down for it but she just spent 20 minutes straight going off on Miniboss.
Pretty much, yeah. I really didn't expect this coworker to do something like that, though. Even if one of us get fired, it won't really matter at all, but I was talking more like, just chilling and not dealing with all the bullshit extra work people are trying to put on us. But she just went all out! It's like when you roll charisma so good that your target goes way too hard.
>>945134 Getting fired in this instance is fine. Because she's being asked to do things she's not trained for, qualified for, or being paid for, and she's refusing to do those things. It's not so bad to get fired for refusing to do something unethical.
no need to get fired not actually have a next job in line and get that "got fired" into your resume or whatever, since those can sometimes stick even if by word of mouth from employer to employer
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
that's great pushing back against unreasonable demands i can't stand aggressive managers
The coworker broke down and was sobbing during it because how frustrated she is, and then Miniboss just went in her office and started laughing and joking around about other stuff. What a bitch!! The straw that broke the camel's back was that Miniboss tried to humiliate my coworker in front of a client by withholding information from her and then being like "Well, coworker doesn't know what she's doing, so I'll answer instead"
Also, coworker got a dog three weeks ago. She lives at the sober house as the manager of the houses, and she had permission to do so. Yesterday, Newboss forced her to bring the dog back to the humane society.
Doesn't even strike me as dog hating, feels a lot like it's the new boss exercising power for the sake of being powerful to me And the dog is just collateral in the power play Dick bag
She's the bad kind of conniving. She doesn't enjoy scheming, she doesn't have schemes with a purpose. She's scheming because she's a coward. She doesn't understand the joy of a good scheme.
Anno
i can respect a scheme with no purpose but a scheme out of cowardice, that's just shameful, i retract
yeah no respect for cowardice now me? i scheme all over the place but i do it in public. im not sneakin around, all the pieces are there for everyone to see because a good scheme needs to be one where you can look back and say "aah how did i not see this"
I was in this telehealth session and the client got a phone call so he just muted himself and started talking on the phone. In the middle of session. You're paying for this buddy, so you can do what you want, but like, I can also do what I want. So I just left

when they created SHIB they sent 50% of the supply to uniswap too and they claim they burned the keys how do you prove that you don't have a private key anymore tho

Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
what my old employer would d is probably get a bunch of third party people tgether with your crypto engineers Walk down to the Apple store together and buy a new macbook Go into a metal tent and perform the key generation ceremony with checksummed software that has been vetted Make the keys d the ting burn the keys and burn the MacBook
I don't think there's any way you could, unless you have the person you sent it to confirm they generated the address themselves Like, no matter what you could just jot the private key down on a piece of paper
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
did the Shib people do this? I press X to doubt
S C
Oh, I doubt they did anything like that They probably just emailed him the key or something
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Of course there Is the issue of what if the apple store employee colluded with an engineer it gets tough that way but i bet they mitigate it by buying a ton of computers ahead of time and securing them smewhere
People have really been panicking about this downswing My only regret is I didn't have the foresight to sell some off and rebuy on the low end this time

I can't help but have a good time laughing at the people who put a ton of money into shib losing their minds and saying he did something wrong honestly You're the nerds who bought a trash coin you all knew some guy sat on 50% of
What exactly is the hard fork anyway? Is eth splitting into two?
S C
Oh, it's basically just an upgrade of some kind, I guess That makes sense
I gotta make plays so I can get more eth Sitting on it and just watching number go up is very cool and good, but seeing the number go up faster would be cooler and good er

it's the london upgrade that includes the EIP 1559 fee change big money salviaaaa
S C
Also the system is gonna start burning off eth isn't it? Eventually
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yea EIP 1559 will start burning a portion of the fee that doesn't automatically mean the currency will be deflationary tho, miners will still be printing new ETH idk what the balance will be, i don't think anyone knows until we get there
S C
Sure, but it'll at the least slow down inflation, for what that's worth

>>945224 what's the difference in mining eth versus anything else is it an arbitrary choice or is the mining itself designed differently the proof of work doesn't change that much does it
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>945226 it does change a lot! that's a big distinguisher between coins bitcoin is dominated by the specialized ASIC chips eth has changed their proof of work algo to fight against specialized chips, to prefer GPU mining however the GPU mining won't last... proof of stake is coming;
dogecoin uses scrypt as their proof of work which is bottlenecked by RAM rather than CPU power
>>945228 not with a GPU no unless you already have one i don't think it would be worth the investment and the GPUs are already impossible to get
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
that said if you could mine ETH and just hodl it instead of immediately selling it that might be worth but then you're spending $$$ on electricity

maybe i can find a GPU that doesn't disappear after im done using it though hate when that happens
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
don't take my word for it tho the numbers are out there and i'm just guessing idk what the current hashrate is >>945231 yeah but it is quite hard on the GPU to mine continuously

can't i just do the calculations myself

i mean instead of the gpu my brain is free and ready to prove some work just need an adapter

instead of cooling why not just route all that generated heat into a bunch of stirling engines and recycle that energy payin so much for electricity then just waste all the precipitate
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
bruh did you just invent perpetual mining machine

no because the energy needed to perform the calculations would increase if it wasn't cooled properly and this would just be scraping off the surplus heat compared to ambient temperature i guess the coolant is necessary afterall

Today at work the supervisor asked to speak to all the women idk what about. I think something to do with the bathroom and because the office is like 3/4 women, it was just me and a few other guys sitting at our desks and then in the Microsoft team groups chat thing that we're all in I was like
>I've never felt more excluded in my life :(
and then a few people laughed, but other people were coming over to check whether I was actually ok.
and I'm like ...Yeah, mate. I'm fine. I'm not really upset.
>>945508 yeah I think it was exactly something like that.
月
women tend to trash out the office bathrooms for some reason really bad
>>945507 wow I mean on one hand that's very nice of them to come check on you But on the other, obviously you're not gonna be upset about not being brought for what's presumably like, the boss telling them stop fucking up the bathrooms or something
>>945509 >the boss telling them more like the administration carefully pleading with them and being super nice you can't tell anyone to do anything anymore, and if you try they'll just fuck it up more out of spite they have literally no way of knowing -who- fucks up the bathroom, and when it comes to pettiness in the office place, someone will surely want to scorn everyone if they can do it without getting found out
Man office politics in the US are so strange Granted I don't have much experience with offices, but the few I've been at, everyone's gotten along well They've all been small though
月
small offices do better the big ones where they portion everyone out into teams with supervisors for each section and try to gamify everything, mandatory after-work gatherings and so forth, where people are all expendable call centers for instance
i used to do custodial work at a call center i got to be there during the night hours while it was empty those people were something else
Oh, god yeah that sounds like it'd create a lot of tension I geuss there's also something to be said about the larger a place is, the more ladders on the hierarchy, too, so it's not just "us" and "the boss", it's "us" "the managers" and "the boss", and then other shit starts forming too And less formal hierarchies might start forming I guess
月
>>945514 >the managers yes, but then the administration tries to divide you laterally against each other instead of upwards so your supervisor is your "team leader" and they try to get the team to feel proud of their productivity and have big whiteboards and do holiday decorating and try to make everything into an "us vs them" competition with the other teams that's what i mean by gamify
some retarded HR person thinks they understand human motivation and just making them compete with each other for a $15 gift card or for casual fridays is the makings for a gratifying work life for their employees
it's even more dehumanizing imo id rather it be work and just work rather than them trying to break through to me and my needs and emotions and goals i can micromanage myself just tell me what work needs to be done, i'll do it, and if i mingle with people it's because i want to and i care about them not because of some commercialized success formula
but yeah the women's bathroom there was trashed out in the most vile ways imaginable
Oh yeah, a call center I applied for gamified shit like that Well, it was more like the customer support line for the biggest cellphone provider in the country, but they still had this weekly competition of getting people to accept more garbage for their subscription What weirds me out is the actual literal call center where we just sold people garbage I worked at, we were all cooperating and stuff, no competition beyond "well, someone's gonna get more sales and earn more as a direct result", but nobody lost anything by someone else doing well Which seems like it's just a better way to... do anything. At least in a strict profitability sense, having your workers cooperate with each other seems like the best move. But maybe they'll get other ideas if you make them realize they can accomplish a lot by banding together.
>>945515 I've actually never been to a company with an HR department, not one I'm aware of anyway But my work has never been the kind that would have one, I guess I've worked at like, factories and a building supplies warehouse, so they don't really need HR I guess
月
HR people are the most convoluted (s)cum of the earth things in existence
I kinda miss my factory job honestly It paid well, and had a lot of breaks built in Which were not counted as break time, they were actally work time as far as pay went. We weren't on break, technically speaking.
月
factory jobs have better worker cohesion just by virtue of not being a call center people have actual real, natural goals in the workplace and just want to get the job done
when I worked UPS it was kind of like that, high labor so people were in better moods and would help each other out i wouldn't mind masonry or laying cement or carpentry for that matter, i love the smell of wood and sawdust but i can't handle heavy labor anymore. not for that long at once
Actually, thinking about it, the place with the most workplace tension I've worked at was actually that factory "job" I had to begin with where we were just like, screwing pipe connectors together But that was probably because like, we were all there as """job training""", we weren't actually paid for our work exactly, we had to work to get our unemployment benefits and such So we were all very unmotivated Overall everyone got along, but there were a few people backtalking others there >>945523 Oh yeah, Norway's pretty good Granted, I was only able to survive on what I got because I lived with my dad, and I've only been able to pay rent on my own for the last like, 2 months
月
im envious the quality of life on unemployment benefits there is better than the quality of life i've ever had from working it kinda seems obvious now why scandinavia has the most successful dota pros they are able to play at home without suffering like here and mainland europe
That's part of it, but another big part is also that scandinavia as a whole adopted internet access and stuff really early and we kinda got rid of metered connections... before I was old enough to know it happened We HAD dialup when I was really little, but we swapped to ADSL I think before I turned 10, and I don't think that was metered at all So online gaming has just kinda been part of everyone my age's life, or at least those from like, families with at least one parent interested in computers and with... a job, really My dad's not exactly wealthy, but he still got us a computer very early on He worked at a software company his buddy founded though, so he may have gotten some spare parts from there He's actually got stonks from that company, but it's not publicly traded, so they're effectively worthless
月
my dad taught me how computers work and how to put them together when i was like 4 he only let me do the children's learning games on them but of course by 8 or so i was using the internet and playing Age of Empires on MSN Gaming Zone and all variety of stuff, learning things i thought interesting instead of school i was making angelfire pages in html for anime and trying to learn PHP because one DBZ site i was a fan of said they needed a dev who knew PHP i didn't know what that meant but i applied anyway and was awkward as fuck making blogposts to the site directly and editing the HTML with whatever i thought was a cool idea then they emailed me like what are you doing i dunno im 9
fun times and interacting with russians oh boy i bet i got into more trouble than i ever realized i thought it was just some fun crypto discussions for fun but looking back it was definitely some black hat shit that i wandered into
I think so But actually, you might not, I don't know if you can claim benefits if you're married to someone who's employed, and showing the ability to provide for someone is often a requirement for international marriages here, from what I understand Though that might apply specifically to like, developing nations, I dunno
You might still be able to get disability though, that's not technically unemployment. If you 'just move' though, you should be able to? Hm
I vaguely remember there being some talk about restricting the ability for people from thailand and stuff to marry into Norway, actually Like, because they often end up abused and stuff by the weirdo they married
This market dip is really interfering with my plans to move over to Binance Nothing's at all stable, nothing I can get on bitstamp anyway, so I either wait, accept the risk of large losses, or eat the 0.02 ETH cost which amounts to like almost a third of my ETH to transfer

https://stlouis.craigslist.org/sys/d/saint-louis-asus-rog-gaming-desktop-rtx/7320492434.html there's a good deal here but i'm almost certain this dude just stripped out the 3080 and is trying to resell it if it's there i'd love to get it but i have no way of knowing until after it's too late and the prebuilt casing sucks cock
1400 isn't bad at all since it has an RTX 3080, that's for sure You can demand to check the insides before giving him any money though, I guess Like, it's an RTX 3080, so it's not unreasonable to make sure it's actually there. It's like, 3/4ths of the price he's asking, after all
月
maybe i just get a 3090 and start mining i feel like im being led astray with the profitability calculators and my expectations though if it's as profitable as advertised, why isn't everybody on the planet getting a 3090 on installed payments, mining with it, and letting it pay for itself plus $400 a month for free
is it the maintenance? does mining just trash it out so fast that it's not worth? >>945536 i mean in a pool the reported and projected gains are pretty consistent
Yeah I don't really think there's much gain for a single person in mining. It might pay off in a mining pool or something Personally, and I'm not exactly an expert, I'd rather just put the money for the GPU into something like Solana and stake that. Depends how quickly you need the profits though
Also while it may be profitable over enough time, you still need to cover the actual cost of operation until that first coin hits, which could be a long time >>945537 Ya I mean for just one person
In a pool it seems like it'd be fine
月
you don't need the coin to hit in a mining pool you're getting paid for your computational distribution

there arent enough 3090s for everyone to get one and mine with it in fact the reason there arent enough is because everyone bought them all for mining
Sure, but some cancers are worse than others. And crypto currency is probably among the worst an individual can take part in. It's an absurdly disgusting practice that is ravaging the world. I struggle to respect anyone involved in crypto, be it mining or trading. It all just disgusts me so much.

i had a dream where i was derpin around this like... dream area i've been to before. there's a hostel and there's like a pub area anyway i went to this seafood restaurant eventually once i was done with the usual hostel logicistics shit and also some brief fort building and the seafood restaurant was dingy and had some tanks with god knows what in em but that's not the point point is the restaurant had a track that went outside and up, and i rode it for on some kind of rainbow road like experience to a giant network of rope bridges suspended like a mile above a giant forest in the middle of tokyo that was pretty cool then i spent the last 15 subjective minutes of the bridge lying on the floor of a rope bridge being paralyzed with a fear of falling and also my shit kept falling out of my arms and i had to reach for it while some guy with a camera watched me suffer

good morning it's good to be alive and at sea level

I'll have to take your word for it But good morning Samu
"This is the way" is a call and response phrase of the Mandalorian people in Star Wars, who the guy in shiny chrome armor is a part of That's literally the whole reference I guess the people use it to affirm inevitability and correct answer amongst their society, but I don't think the ad designers were thinking that deeply into it
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
wtf that's been a disney reference the whole time??
Anno
I mean no, obviously But the ad is clearly riffing off Star Wars
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
the whole time it's been being said on twitter the same with the wandavision line grr
Anno
Oh, hah hah Sorry I thought you were being facetious, my bad Yeah it got popularized by The Mandalorian most recently

That said it does also kind of overlap with that "Do you know da wey" quip from a couple years before, said by the Ethiopian guys running around VRchat programs in stumpy Knuckles the Echidna models But I'm pretty sure "This is the way" is Star Wars in origin
The scam calls I get keep getting more and more interesting Today, one of them connected to my virtualbox with teamviewer and wanted me to sign up on coinbase Which I don't really understand the reasoning for, but I assume it's like, a keylogger thing or something probably
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
how sketch what reason did they want for you to sign up
To "show me what they were offering" Which wouldn't be too sketchy if she didn't introduce herself in an obvious Indian accent as "Rachel Smith", audibly had her superior behind her guiding the interaction, and connected via teamviewer to the computer Did not mention she worked for Coinbase either, and wanted me to sign into my binance account at the beginning Which I could not because "my gf's phone has my 2FA on it, and she's not here"
everywhere i go, everyone is just crowding outside staring at, pointing at, filming the sky trying to catch the angels

I had a dream about amogus even though I ve never played and now I have the amogus musical in my head
Anno
I am going to say "There's an Among Us musical?" but I want to make it perfectly clear that this is an astonishment and not an encouragement to link the source.
btw random question randomly watched the bar/10 questions scene from Inglorious Basterds yesterday and it brough to mind How do people hold fingers when showing amounts
for example the movie's one which fingers you hold up when showing 2? *3
2 is prolly quite universal, index and middle but 3 prolly changes I fall to thumb to middle
Anno
Depends If I'm counting up I've adopted the Japanese way of counting, starting with the pinky and moving thumbwards If I'm just holding up a number I'll usually hold my thumb down if the number's between one and four If for whatever reason I'm already holding up my pointer and middle finger for two and need to count up to three, I'll use my thumb
Speaking of holding fingers I don't do it that much, but in the past sometimes in conversations, when it came to say pointing out possibilities, like options and then downing ones that weren't viable, i'd basically hold up a hand with the fingers for options lifted, starting always from thumb however, either due to rng or whatever bias of my own I'd mostly always present just 3 options
and i'd always have the "best option" or something as the third so while making the whole speech, i'd start with say 3 fingers up and end up giving the figner to whoever I was talking with
I only realised this after having prolly done this for 6 years at that point
amusingly enough, no one ever - even thep eople at the spot when I discovered my little gaffe - noticed it either.
>>945828 yeah i know right i keep thinking about reading it but then i remember it gets a chapter once every 15 months and then i dont do it
rook
>15 months it hasn't gotten a chapter since 2018 lol

>>945830 At least they got off the boat in Berserk
SSpeaking of which, I haven't read it since they were still on the bboat. >>945833 I've heard that he has severe hand/wrist/whatever injuries and that's why its taking so long.
Anno
>>945831 im just convinced togashi is dead at this point
Anno
Honestly I think he just doesn't care anymore Most of the recent chapters have been pretty shitty as manga chapters He just fills up the panels with like paragraphs of text and barely draws any actual visual stuff for it
He should just write the rest of the series as a novel and he'd probably enjoy it just as much
rook
yeah I think you're right he's probably just living the easy life with his wife's sailor moon money >>945832 funny enough, they're on a boat now in HxH
ㅤFormerRei@mobile
>>945835 I've also heard that he has a really good contract with shueisha and that he jst does te bare minimum in order to keep his end and make tons of money.
Anno
he probably realized centering the story around primarily kurapika wasn't a very good idea
Anno
>>945835 Well also despite new chapters coming out at a sluggish rate Hunter X Hunter still sells stupidly well for a series that is all but dead in the water Between him and Naoko's income from their manga, they probably don't have to work another day in their life.
oda is something special, dude just keeps going no matter what >>945838 can't say I blame him since I'd probably do the same, but it's a shame the story will probably never be finished especially after dropping the whole dark continent bomb
Anno
not only does he keep going, but for the past like 20 years he's been saying "yeah, one piece is gonna end in 5 more years"
Anno
Oda actually loves drawing manga I think Togashi still likes telling stories, but he just doesn't enjoy all the work that goes into drawing manga. Maybe it's in part because his wrist is fucking broke as shit
Too bad Oda got that Nami cosplayer pregnant. Should've strapped his shit.
Anno
togashi just leaves me with so many questions with the switch of the story focus like is it possible gon COULD get his nen back if he trained? is alluka something out of the dark continent? or rather the wish granting thing inside is it possible that bungee gum has more than just the properties of both rubber and gum? was cheetu truly the greatest nen user ever to be born?
The other thing about Hunter x Hunter is I never really got why people love it so much Like it's really fun, I'm not saying it's a bad shounen, I'd even say it's a really good one, especially in its heyday But I don't understand why people compliment the Nen power system so much, it acts like it's a rigid system for categorizing powers but then there's always special cases that throw it out so that Togashi doesn't have to be limited by the rigidity it instils. And there isn't anything about the story arcs that are particularly narratively deep. Thought out, usually, and stick their landings. But that's nothing special, I'd say accomplishing that is the first step to being a good story.
rook
cheetu got owned by the smoke guy tho
Anno
>>945850 no its called bungee gum because it's named after hisoka's favorite candy as a child >>945852 cheetu took it easy on him, if he came at him for real with that SICK crossbow, he'd have had it
rook
I think rei has only experienced it through O MY RUBBER NEN since that was memed so hard
ㅤFormerRei@mobile
>>945854 YYeah basically I mean I read the first few volumes llillike 15+ years ago. But yeah, aside from that that's all I know. Oh and that ant catgirl looking person is a dude.
Anno
>>945851 personally, as it almost always is for me, it's characterization gon being this almost 'normal' shounen child protag at first until you slowly learn that he has no, or at least ignores any, concept of right and wrong killua having the edgyboi background but being almost the most normal and well adjusted of the crew leorio
rook
>>945853 >using a weapon slower than your own legs foolish
rook
>>945855 pitou? I always thought they had no gender
pitou is technically a dude because the colony has only a single queen but also technically genderless because as evidenced by the scorpion ant, any of them could BECOME the queen
Anno
>>945856 Leorio's a cool motherfucker I'll give you that But I also don't think his character is particularly complex or high-level writing He's just a super endearing and cheerable guy Again, these are things I feel are basic levels of good writing, nothing to praise as "the best shounen" or anything like that.
And while Gon doesn't really distinguish between good and evil, there's like no real value to that It's the whole Goku thing They don't care about good they just wanna fight, or in Gon's department adventure and find his dad. They don't do anything good with the material once it's established, so whatever solid characterization Togashi might've worked with is just kind of a waste of material.
rook
pretty sure that was as meme too my dude
rook
>>945851 the nen system is so fuckin flawed, the existence of special class just invalidates all the other classes I just treat
rook
treat them like stands instead, each nen ability has its own rules also most of the story does kinda suck, but the chimera ant arc was actually factually fucking great shame it required a narrator talking for five straight minutes each episode to get there but it was still worth going through all those episodes just for that arc
Anno
>>945861 i mean i wouldn't call hxh the best shounen, but it's generally leagues better for it's characters and what it's doing with them how much care it puts into the cast of even effectively side characters is great the phantom troupe being the greatest example of that though post gon's story the phantom troupe aren't really side characters anymore >>945866 there's different categories of hunters that you generally fall into like ging is a Ruins Hunter that dude with the arrow nen power was a Mystical Beast Hunter Kite was just some kind of Animal Hunter in genreal I think >>945861 i disagree with the goku one, goku definitely angles toward good the anime does a generally poor job of showcasing it, and super throws his and everyone else's charactrers completely out the window, but goku has the best interests of earth in mind and he's also generally less just "want fight" and more "want improve"
rook
I always wondered what the fuck a hunter actually is, it's so poorly defined at first it seems like they're supposed to be actual treasure hunters looking for shit but ultimately it just boils down to hunters are the COOL GUYS who have COOL POWERS it's so shallow
Anno
>>945865 Man I dunno, I can't say I feel they do characters in Hunter X Hunter better on average than most good shounen. They have fleshed out personalities, but there's plenty of shounen that do that pretty well And aside from a few exceptions, there isn't really much nuance to them aside from being fleshed out. There's definitely good characterization but it's nothing that really impresses me. Which is kind of my overall impression of HxH Definitely good but nothing that impresses me.
>>945864 Honestly aside from the election arc, I think Togashi blew himself out on the Chimera Ant arc That was the height of his passion for the series and like burning out his main character for its finale, he kinda burnt himself out too The election arc was him experimenting with a different feel with more of a political game angle and it helped him revive his interest a bit But everything besides that has been "Here's all my cliffnotes for the plot compiled in paragraphs contained in comic panels"

>>945856 wait wait wait leorio is alright but he's barely a character he goes from >I wanna be a doctor then disappears for 110 episodes and becomes >I wanna be a doctor AND I can punch people from really far away
Anno
>>945869 what do you mean he goes from "i wanna be a doctor" to "hey kids i learned ONE principle of nen, am i cool or what? wait what do you mean there's at least 3 more" to "i am now a doctor AND i can punch people from really far away" did you forget he shows up in yorknew city he's pretty important there
rook
yes I did because as endearing as he is he's barely there at all most of the time also wasn't yorknew one of the earliest arcs? like right after the exam? I watched this shit like seven years ago
Anno
exam > zoldyck mansion > heaven's arena > yorknew yorknew goes into greed island, greed island goes into chimera ant so yorknew is one of the later ones in terms of listing, though it takes place in the middle of the anime at least the middle of the 2011
Anno
>>945869 That's kinda what I'm saying yeah Like he's a cool guy and likeable But there isn't really all that much to his characterization It's not hard to shape simple character traits into a fun person and give them a kinda-sexy body to walk around in
ㅤFormerRei@mobile
>>945868 You got ripped off. Did it come with a neck or shoulder massage?
rook
>>945868 go back in, pull your pants down, and tell them they missed a spot down there
>>945872 Having only read the manga, honestly, anything that's before the Chimera Ant arc is old as fuck Ironically with all the hiatus, the Chimera Ant arc is also pretty old by this point now But since the boat arc moves at a glacial pace, the Chimera Ant arc is chronologically recent even if in real time it's so old.
rook
>>945872 I dunno if I'd call the mansion a whole arc, but even then // if you would it's definitely the shortest like the exam took a while, arena was kinda short, yorknew is what I'd call the midway point greed island was kinda short but felt long because it was frankly pretty boring and chimera ant was like half the runtime of the anime, with the election feeling like an extended epilogue leorio barely shows up man

>>945874 I think it was like a flat price thing. $30 for a hair cut and $25 for a shave And so even tho it was a tiny job the same rate applies
But yeah. I FEEL ripped off. >>945875 Yeah i prefer to style and wax those ones myself
Anno
>>945879 greed island may be boring, but that fucking dodgeball game versus razor, tho
Anno
>>945878 yeah i was gonna say, at this point even the dark continent expedition arc is "old"
>>945880 You paid $25 for a shave? Did they at least use a straight razor?

Is something said about someone in a defamatory way on video libel or slander?

depends if its endorsed by a media institution like ny times as part of their news media its libel if its an individuals video self published its slander
A friend of mine has recently become a lawyer and moved down to Melbourne he says the lawyer world is pretty crazy and Melbourne is a lot more affordable since covid hit

maybe I should go down and visit him my parents are going in june and I wasn't really considering going because of work commitments but then I remembered he lives there
>>946014 sorry to keep bombarding you with these q's but do you got an idea for projection of eth by the end of this year i hear a lot of people saying a lot of things and i don't know who they are or why they matter i rember you worked with an eth company though and know about it at least plus you're holding
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
hey moon! uhh diving // divining the future eh i don't know. i know that lots of people throw out numbers to pump up the coin but absolutely no one actually knows whats gonna happen to it eth has good features on the roadmap but i don't know if they will deliver this year or not, and i don't know if those features will mean price goes up i'm just holding for long term by the end of the year i don't know. eth used to be stuck at $300 for what felt like forever, it could very well be pegged at its current price until then
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i do think that cuz of NFTs and the Defi stuff happening that ETH will continue to be popular and so at least remain around current levels i would hope of course if the whole crypto market does its cyclical crash thing it could easily go down
月
okay thanks i wanna take a gritty look at some of the algos being used for mining would you know of some good technical resources there's too much crypto-hype clutter to dig through to find meaningful conversations organically or through search engines listicles and boomer guides to crypto
idk i will find it on my own eventually but i dont know what im looking for yet
Anno
yeah I'm also long term holding playing games is risky but most assets have only appreciated in the long run but I'm not as well versed in the tech side of crypto i just see patterns and public opinion
月
>>946019 not like the encryption or sha256 or basic stuff, i mean the algorithms used to operate the equipment to do calcs i get that it's different for every coin and every gpu/asic/etc used but that whole sphere is where i want to bury my nose in study for a while it's both broad and deep
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i think the current algo is Ethash?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
keccak is a cool hashing algo
月
would there be like a timeline of progression evolution of crypto algos so to speak
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i'm sure you could piece one together i don't know if there is a formal resource for that probably wikipedia has some of it bitcoin wiki has some of it idk i do find it hard to easily find historical records for crypto stuff

yeah there sure are a lot of things ok thanks
i don't own any by the way dont plan on buying any, but i logistically could start mining i don't think it's a great idea though
