 the screw-ups at Circle screwed up again? lost their banking? despite being owned by Goldman?

My theory is Circle is where all of Goldman Sachs's inbred love children are sent to make them feel like part of the team.

Once installed in the (padded) office they blow raspberries, sling their droppings around and occasionally the perennially out of work actor Jeremy Allaire is hauled out of whatever truck stop strip joint he's working the door at, gets hosed down and sent to some conference.

There is barely one move they've made that hasn't been an utter balls up.

But they bought poloniex for half a billion dollars, then watched it crash to below yobit in trading volume. Are you saying that's not a shrewd investment?  Tongue

That depends on the total tally of the coins they stole.

Reading WO lately...maybe something you can find from the link that we can adopt:
https://getpocket.com/explore/item/38-wonderful-words-with-no-english-equivalent

My favorites:

16. Lagom (Swedish)
Maybe Goldilocks was Swedish? This slippery little word is hard to define, but means something like, “Not too much, and not too little, but juuuuust right.”

37 & 38. Schlemiel and schlimazel (Yiddish)
Someone prone to bad luck. Yiddish distinguishes between the schlemiel and schlimazel, whose fates would probably be grouped under those of the klutz in other languages. The schlemiel is the traditional maladroit, who spills his coffee; the schlimazel is the one on whom it's spilled.

5. Backpfeifengesicht (German)
A face badly in need of a fist.

15. Fremdschämen (German); Myötähäpeä (Finnish)
The kinder, gentler cousins of Schadenfreude, both these words mean something akin to "vicarious embarrassment.”

19. Bakku-shan (Japanese)
Or there's this Japanese slang term, which describes the experience of seeing a woman who appears pretty from behind but not from the front.

28. Boketto (Japanese)
It’s nice to know that the Japanese think enough of the act of gazing vacantly into the distance without thinking to give it a name.

32. Hygge (Danish)
Denmark’s mantra, hygge is the pleasant, genial, and intimate feeling associated with sitting around a fire in the winter with close friends.
 

Both Italian idiom are not correct;
23. Slampadato (Italian)
Addicted to the UV glow of tanning salons? This word describes you.

Lampadato, not Slampadato.


33. Cavoli Minestra Riscaldatia (Italian)

Never heard of Re-heated cabbage, Re-Heated soup is used, to indicate the reinstatement of a poor relationship you Andrea DT tasted: not great, better than starving.

Where is Shadendfreude, btw?

My Vegeta hat still not displaying... SAD!

I decided to focus on something more apparent and relatable. If you really want to get your knickers in a bunch look into the Tuarid meteor swarm and a possible relationship to the Tunguska explosion of 1908.

I have a cat named Tunguska. Really.

Had to google what the hell this one was.
Quote
Vicarious embarrassment (also known as secondhand, empathetic, or third party embarrassment) is the feeling of embarrassment from observing the embarrassing actions of another person.

I don't think there is even a one word slang for this one.
We generally say "I'm embarrassed for[whomever].
Or "Sucks to be you". Lol

here's why "climate change" should never become humanity's focus ... imagine exhausting the global economy and killing off significant proportions of populations in the name of "the environment" ... and then god shows up to roll the dice on humans??

https://www.colorado.edu/today/2019/06/05/superflares

humanity has bigger problems to exhaust our known available energies and resources against than preserving a fictiously 'pristine', unobtainable environment nirvana.

So that's the good reason to go on shitting where we eat, because a solar flare or an asteroid or something might show up and make the whole thing moot?

...  smh

I don't see anyone "shitting where we eat"? ... you might have been accidentally sipping some on that lefty 'we know what's best for you' control-freakery Koolaid they serve up in giant doses on mainstream/dinosaur media.

Also a Superflare (alias microNova) event from the local star would wipe clean anything humans might leave behind. Most wont get their heads around it, but the article basically says they have hard observational evidence, from observing thousands of sun-like stars, that these things are happening on the order of 2k years, like clockwork. It is not a matter of if but when. There is also circumstantial evidence from silica shards collected on the moon's surface that it gets blasted regularly from inexplicably energetic radiation, evidently from a solar origin ... but noone wanted to believe it until this new evidence.

A Superflare event as experienced on earth would mean at least the sun-facing side of the planet would be subject to a massive dose of radiation and radiant heating, to the point of causing the oceans on that side to warm considerably precipitating massive evaporative, convective and cyclonic activity, accompanied by winds and rains of biblical proportions, as the heat energy is dissipated.

A Superflare/micronova is a plausible mechanism for the biblical Noah's flood allegory. Affecting at least half the planet.

Not to mention that power grids, telecommunications and most satellites would be fried in an instant. And yes debris ejection from the sun would impact the earth.

My quibble-nish arose...sorry yefi.

It is my belief that everything is in motion so to speak. Angular momentum and other kinetics obviously play a fundamental roll in our Universe and their influence can be easily observed. What is not so obvious to our perceptions is that everything is vibrating at its own unique frequency.

Certainly atoms in solids can vibrate, and increasingly so with heat, but they're fixed in position relative to each other. Except for ions in electrolytic capacitors and batteries, PoW is not moving atoms in electronic circuits.

As I said it was more of a quibble than anything..I was probably just looking for an argument.  Wink

That being said, maybe my understanding of physics is not correct.

The fundamental particles of nature have minimum vibrational motion, retaining only quantum mechanical, zero-point energy-induced particle motion.

Those new hats looks nicer.

Can I have a new one @xhomerx10? =D

I trust you to create a new one for me as you like
You could start using your new-transparent hat from here:

Most wont get their heads around it, but the article basically says they have hard observational evidence, from observing thousands of sun-like stars, that these things are happening on the order of 2k years, like clockwork. It is not a matter of if but when.

The study would appear to demonstrate that for a slowly rotating star as our Sun, the flare would be limited to 5x10^34 erg, or about 500 times the Carrington Event. That would be bad, but hardly wipe-humans-clean bad. Indeed, if they do happen every 2000-3000 years, they don't appear to have had any great impact on pre-electrical civilisation, as the lead author readily admits: "If a superflare occurred 1,000 years ago, it was probably no big problem. People may have seen a large aurora."
