You know, I've seen articles in English language newspapers where the term lakh was used to describe quantity and I had no f@#$ing idea that what was. I thought it was a Ferengi term from Deep Space Nine but it turned out to mean 100,000 of something. Never mind... that still doesn't work. I've just stopped reading and listening to news altogether. It's easier than trying to decipher it.
Weird. I've never seen that used. Some niche thing? Used in India mainly for sizing things like dirty fiat salaries Sounds like an Indian local idiom rather than English thing then.

Just look at the sheer stupidity in "news" articles these days. Apparently the dollar has lost 99.9% of its value overnight? US approves $95bn aid package for Ukraine and Israelhttps://uk.yahoo.com/news/senate-passes-ukraine-aid-deal-040200462.htmlUS officials said about $1bn (£802,000) worth of the aid could be on its way shortly, with the bulk following in the coming weeks.
A billion, a million, 802,000. What's the difference eh? Used to be the UK billion was 10^12. Perhaps they corrected in the wrong direction...

Sorry I'm late. Did I miss anything? What is the Goxcoin news? They are issuing their coins or they are not? What is the news, and why would it affect BTC prices? A bunch of nothing burgers and add them all up and get more nothing burgers? Is that what we are talking about?
Same old guff. Whales knock the price down on specious news then hoover up some coins for cheap from weak hands.

Buy some eggs. Congratulations on being able to work more to allow you to get past that each dollar you get buys less... I guess.

It really does seem to be the start to an apparent move away of an EV rich future. Probably hydrogen or synthetic fuels are more likely now for the masses.
If you're going to make an ev-type vehicle for current use scenarios with current tech, hybrids were the way to go other than for a small, specific niche. And that's even for the US market and markets where government taxes on top of fuel are low. In places like Europe, the costs for fuel are *largely* tax and the government is always going to want its pound of flesh sooner or later. So, for the consumer, any actual benefit is even less clear. Not to mention, right now, the economy is trash and people are seeing the reality of end-of-life large lithium battery packs.

I hope. But I also I don't think Israel will sit on their hands and do nothing
Maybe. But Israel has other things on their hands at the moment and is playing (arguably badly) a balancing act with international sentiment. Meanwhile, Iran has possibly done enough with their minimal strike-back to save face with what happened with their embassy. I don't think anyone (besides Raytheon) really benefits from escalation right now. We'll see. In the meantime, the panic-sellers will be in denial about panicking and so reluctant to buy back in until they see the price starting to get away from them.

or is it the selling Always the selling. Heinlein had it right: When in danger, when in doubt run in circles, scream and shout.

Interesting tax break in California formgold and silver purchases. On sales of 2000 usd or more for gold or silver bullion there is a sales tax exemption. So 20000 in gold costs 20000 not 22000 Same for silver. Notice L-912 california state tax rules. https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/formspubs/L912.pdfGotta keep the little people down.

I traveled to see a total eclipse once, from my vacations in Brittany to Portsmouth via ferry, in 1999.
Unfortunately the UK weather being what it is, even in summer, there was a total cloud cover. We saw everything darkening but no real night because of the clouds.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_11,_1999Probably the same eclipse I saw when I was living in The Netherlands. (It was a Wednesday). I think it was only partial, near full from there, but enough for the surroundings to go eerie blue dark. Pretty decent view at the time (good sunny weather) and I used many sunglasses on top of each other to take a photo. No idea what happened with it though. Probably somewhere in the loft. I was in Hampshire and it was only a partial eclipse but weather was clear enough to see it. My boss at the time travelled to Cornwall to get the full experience.

@JJG: I know that you just use $6.66K as an example, but that hardly amounts to much in US...basic level living and not even on the two coasts. A median household income in US is 74.6K/year. https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/research/average-us-income/Of course, when used as an add-on, it would provide a boost, but i don't think many on WO would agree that it is a sweet deal after many years of ups and downs. Meh, it has to be remembered that the 74.6k income comes with associated expenses which may be reduced after retirement. Cars, travel, work clothing, eating out and retirement fund itself. You should be aiming to have your house paid off for retirement and you won't likely be funding college funds for your kids (maybe grandkids but that's more of an optional expense). Now, if you want to do a lot of travelling, RVing, whatever, you'll want to be budgeting for that but those are purely elective expenses.

Bit of movement on the old FX crosses right there. Bitcoin has actually taken it pretty well, so far at least.
Don't know why the CPI was such a shock to be honest.
Because lies are being told and a large segment of people have been primed to accept the lies.

Gentlemen, next round of drinks is on me, I celebrate the world rat day. ^Honestly I didn't even know that day exists, but then again I happily welcome every good excuse to have a drink * psycodad lifts his cup and sings 'rat here, rat now' in the voice of slimboy fast fatboy slim Anyone can name a day. That doesn't make it official. Speaking of which, it's time we had a world Bitcoin day. Sounds fancier than "the anniversary of the genesis block".

From the polished parts, you can tell that a large number of superstitious wall street bankers rub those bull balls for luck, before starting their day of robbing people blindly in new and creative ways.
When I was in NYC, I popped by to see it (I think I have a stereoscopic pic of it, in fact) and I can say for a fact that it's not just bankers giving the balls a rub.

He's surely not retarded. Hopefully he's investing it into something more sensible like hookers and blow.

Go2RTC, maybe?
Yes, that's the one. Nice thing is, you can do the auth in go2rtc so it's easy to access the cameras from inside your network (though it's up to you to decide if that's a good thing or not). I'm thinking I might see if I can throw in some contributions on that project as I think there's a few things that would be nice-to-haves (if they're not too hard).
