We've let people rent on and off - the issue with renting is there's not much we can do scalably about verifying missing components, rules, good working condition (when non-board g…

I opened a board game/trading card store in May. We host events and sell products. Takes up a lot of my time but ultimately it's a passion project that actually makes money.

There's a certain charm to doing things in person. Same reason as to why some people prefer film photography when digital exists - traveling in person when google maps exists, read…

Yeah, the depth of biology is insane. You can even look closer to home - humans have built in visual mappings for specific shapes. https://www.quantamagazine.org/a-math-theory-for-…

You can basically think of insects like this as organic ASICs. Input in, output out. It's a biological circuit that just has a raw response that's hardcoded in. Kind of like asking…

In total, for a 15-year old cat, I have spent $8,000+ USD. He plays a large emotional part in my life and I don't think I would spare any expenses given the opportunity. It is wort…

Thanks! Glad to see someone else with similar experiences. The other issue I think people are overlooking is... 20 years ago you would present to your local, low-cost veterinarian,…

Unfortunately, I think I'm in that boat. Truly, I appreciate the discourse. However, whether or not that's what people want, that's the reality. Next time you get a medical charge,…

Disclaimer: My partner works as a small animal surgeon, and I'm honestly appalled by seeing some of the comments asking for more government intervention in here. Private equity sco…

skipping succession episodes is insane, i'm sorry. it had a niche following but the entire series is a work of art in every aspect. i don't think i can point to a single episode th…

This is crazy because I kept getting ads like this for MDMA (after checking the next IG story), I finally got tired of it and reported one, they actually manually reviewed it and D…

I get that, but can't I just go to TCGPlayer and click the first category - Magic, and browse the same goods in a more liquid market? What I'm trying to say is what sets you guys a…

It's clean, works well, great job! How does this compare to TCGPlayer on a fundamental level?

It's interesting, because there is indeed a system in the EU known as carbon allowances. While everyone and their dog can buy offsets, allowances exist in the EU and California (I …

Yeah, makes sense, I was just running through my train of thought to eliminate all other possibilities. I agree with you.

If we only want to go off of verified sources, of course it's all classified since we can only trust the military to provide us information on this as far as veracity goes. Based o…

Let's look at this as rationally as possible: People have been claiming to see UFOs for years, ever since the popularization in mass media with the start of "the war of the worlds"…

just fyi this paper was retracted for glaring data errors https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11258-015-0541-1

To clarify, I work as a dev or engineer or whatever, but pretty much every other bit of free time goes into it. At this point, 16k hours and counting.

Being really good at Dota. Sounds kind of ridiculous, but I make plenty of money for my age, very very secure/comfortable financially. However, I've been playing Dota for the bette…

I can't speak to CK2, but for EU4 there's always something you can be doing. I think it comes with experience - I play multiplayer with some friends, and one of them in our group h…

I think it's fine honestly - remember we have inflation, semiconductor shortage, and 3090s retailed at the same price like two years ago. Nobody honestly needs this level of hardwa…

to be fair, caffeine is also a pesticide. their effects are to destroy the vascular systems of bugs that eat the plants - hence why the two evolved as plant defense mechanisms to b…

Yes but the thing is that you know that this "asset class" is unregulated - in fact it's one of its strongest selling points and one of the traits people tout as a benefit - it sho…
