"Root" is too strong to describe my relationship with the Lions, a team that y'all can use as a soothing "could be worse" reference whenever you think that your team sucks. But it's great for trivia, for example answering questions like "when was the last time Lions played in the Super Bowl" or "how many conference championships Lions have" or "how many games Lions won in 2008".

Hey, so, like, fair warning.
We are two days away from inauguration, and from some of the fringe scenarios I've been reading, things are likely to range from Nothingburger to Biblically-Apocalyptic.
Just a reminder, that any political talk about any US political figures, will be met with "tastefully" censored, horrible, awful yaoi, within this thread.
Let us keep our eye on The Corn, and not get distracted by the fall of Western Civilization.
Please do not test me.
I beg of you.
I'm trying to be way more chill in 2021, and you guys can really help me out in that regard.

Is it OK if we can still hate ALL politicians? asking for a friend... |

Bean counters at Boeing got away with a $2.5B slap on the wrist for the 737 MAC debacle. Cost of doing business.
And I'd be willing to bet the scumbag that made that decision got a golden parachute and that is why this keeps happening. those running things never have to pay the piper, all the rest of us do. The current and former employees, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigations, said that after the first crash, they were stunned to discover MCAS relied on a single sensor.
“That’s nuts,” said an engineer who helped design MCAS.
“I’m shocked,” said a safety analyst who scrutinized it.
“To me, it seems like somebody didn’t understand what they were doing,” said an engineer who assessed the system’s sensors. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/01/business/boeing-737-max-crash.htmlYou can bypass the paywall with ublock origin addon. There were more than one instance/people at various design and implementation stages that would have become aware of that. Seems like management or whoever suppressed critical thinking on relying on a single sensor for MCAS. Also, in extreme test routines the problem would have already appeared in the simulator. Boeing looking like amateurs now. |

China is still the underdog in terms of semi-conductors but their engineers learn fast. There will be a time where China can no longer be put under pressure through the Chips/semi-conductor industries.
Interesting stuff.
They learn fast, but the key is they can't innovate for shit. Mostly copying other peoples' ideas. Which means they are always 1 step behind.True but they are far not behind when every semi conductor manufacturer moves the fabs there. All the bunny suits get a first hand tour of the facilities as they are all Chinese by that time. The Chinese gov knows how to squeeze the people so there is not one of them that will not spy and steal tech and it will literally happen overnight. I was senior hardware engineer back in 2000 when we moved our fabs there from the US and it was industry wide to do so if you didn't you couldn't compete. IIRC we had fabs in Malaysia, Russia and China after the move. As you noted they are shit at design (and also QC) and US companies outsource the fabs and manufacturing facilities but keep the design in country so that adds a layer to the intellectual theft but do to the quick trun around of having an outsourced fab there is not alot of time to capitalize on new design features before they are stolen and copied. This was well known but ignored as the bean counters are just like politicians, they only care about short term gains so they can score a big bonus and then move on when everything falls to shit. |

Why are Ravens fans always so toxic?
LOL, I'm not a Ravens fan. My team sucks even more than Patriots, if that helps. Haha, that is sad! I think the only teams worse than the Pats this year were The Jets and Jags! I never understood the Pats hate, They were the worst team in football the entire time I was growing up and then when they got their shit together people hated on them. When I was growing up every year the the end for the Pats was always a huge game they had to win against the Colts or they were dead last in the league. Most of the time they lost that game but Plunkett and later Grogan gave it all he got and those poor bastards were dragging their asses in a sling more times than not. Armstrong was literally the only lineman that could block, the rest just stood their looking like idiots while the QB got demolished. I've never seen so many dogpiles, they used to just all belly flop right on top of the pile. |

I would like to see Brady win it all, that would literally make the Patriots Org look pretty bad...
With Ravens out I'm hoping for Bills vs Bucs... that should make Belichick and Patriots fans smash their TVs. Why are Ravens fans always so toxic? |

I really wanted to see the Browns make it to the big game this year just because their fans deserve it.

Wait... Crypto custody is a case of not-your-keys, right? The thing about custody is that it's guaranteed, often backed by insurance. This is how their Institutional Fractional Reserve System will make inroads. EDIT: machasm beat me to it. What’s to stop banks from running fractional reserve practices on our Bitcoin and putting us back in the same shithole Bitcoin was designed to get us out of?
I think the answer is it is Russian roulette. Bitcoin is an instantly transferable bearer asset. There is NO lender of last resort. And of course no one HAS to use these services. Goldmann Ballsacks is the quintessential Institutional highway barons, They have all the politicians family's working for them. They are the true insiders that write their own laws to make their scams legal. The sheeple will use it because they will make it easy for them while keeping it nigh impossible with ACH transfers and the like just to use any other exchange while they squeeze all those private exchanges that don't bend over like Coinbase. And of course all the Network Media will be shilling for them all the while. |

buying 0.007 BTC ($250) seems a bit strange...
I'm a gay dude sent here from Planet Anus, to make everyone on Planet Earth homosexual, ushering in the Age of Aquarius. How DARE YOU talk to me about strange. If I had your corn I wouldn't mind being a degerate, filthy, COVID-infected gay (can I be Bi?), rusty pipe included. Yes, I admit it, I'm a BTC whore, I'd do anything for corn. Sounds like a salmon slapping offer, I guess I could chip in for that but I'll be damned if I'll watch that video! |

Meanwhile, I'm awaiting delivery of a Cuckatoo32 ASIC to be used for testnet mining.
What the timeframe for the ROI? Given the difficulty of selling testnet Grin, ROI is negative:-( Bummer, that'll change in a few months. |

Congratulations on a smooth upgrade to version 5!
(technically it was not a hard fork as the old code would simply refuse to accept any block at height 1048320)
Goodbye, members of the CuckARoo family. You successfully kept out ASICs over the past 2 years.

If it does not open the wallet you need and were your funds are, it seems to be useless/wrong  Just curious, can you even have 2 of the same words in a row in a seed?  I'd brute-force it, depending on how many XMR were in it. Google is your best friend.  Sorry for the confusion. It is 25 words with (1) word that is repeated. It is the 7th word and 25th word that are the same. IIRC the last word is a checksum which will allow you to tell if you have entered the words in the correct order. You may want to look into that. |
