Surely driving the vehicle in a manner that was certain to break the transmission within 4 months caused no other excessive wear in the vehicle, right? Sounds like a terrible idea,…

Just an anecdote, but I've had multiple dexa scans in the 8-12% range spanning across years of bulking and cutting and I've never had better than what I consider mediocre abs - pro…

Multiple felon software dev here. I make $250k in Minneapolis.

At 6'0", 215 lbs, and 10% body fat (via DEXA scans) I have a BMI of 29.2 - on the high end of "overweight" - almost "obese". I'm a fit, but not especially big, casual weightlifter …

Market cap doesn't mean much at all in crypto. XRP's is high because the circulating supply is 45 billion XRP - 2500 times more than BTC, 400 times more than ETH, etc. I could crea…

I can't speak much to it, as I don't play - my girlfriend does, and finding a pad for her was difficult. There's just nothing out there. Couple of dead projects, the L-Tek, and som…

I think 2017 showed that it will be damned difficult politically to make any change that requires a hard fork to Bitcoin anymore. Pure proof of stake is fantasy. That's not "Bitcoi…

It's a bit easier to chill and wait now that we've seen the same boom and bust cycle repeat a handful of times.

Eventually I'll spend it, like my index funds and 401k. Earlier than that, I might sell a little bit in the upcoming year to free up some cash for a home purchase.
