nah I likely have the issue due to the diabetes meds.
And if you ever had acid reflux and are tossing back capsicum and acid the pain is very very very high end.
Oh back to my newer dead horse
Silver it is fucking whaling!!! Soon to pass that garbage stock Nvidia
Nvidia is not a garbage stock! I own many hundreds of shares of NVDA I bought for $6/Share - It's now ~$200/Share! It's Market Cap is $4.6T A bit of sarcasm lost on the net. My apologies for confusing you. hey guys get your silver here https://www.ebay.com/itm/157570474050It is amazing that my 3500 ask is a huge discount off melt as the melt is over 4000 Is that Melrose pattern by Gorham? [Edit] I now see that the pattern is Wallace Royal Rose which I'm not familiar with. I have Melrose by Gorham that looks very similar.

Yesterday my father died at age 82. He was like the sun in my life. Never tired of taking care of me and my mom, which died 12 years ago. In the last 4 years he was struggling with severe brain damages and dementia. Although he wasn't the same man, I was with him until his last breath. I'm so sad and heart broken. At least he was happy to see me getting rich beyond his dreams and expectations, thanks to bitcoin. It all started because of him. He loved to read newspapers and one day he showed my an article and asked me if I know about Bitcoin, which was produced by computers as a reward of solving complex mathematical problems. I started reading about it and so it began. I hope he is in heaven now toghether with my mom. Rest in peace, my dear father!

So sorry to hear it, RIP. He must have had a very sharp mind to notice it way back when.

@ivomm - I feel the grief in your words. My sincere condolences to you. Moms and Dads are very special. Remember the good times. Empty chairs during festive times will always be difficult.  I wish you comfort as you grieve...

So at current earnings, NVIDIA would need ~48 years of constant profits to “earn back” a $3.5T valuation.

Yeah pink rare meat makes me gag and want to vomit so I go for medium. This is medium here it is plated
That is why you overcooked that steak? Through the years, I have gravitated more towards the rare side of medium rare.. yet i do prefer the steak to be warm in the middle and if it is a thin cut it is harder to maintain the pink.. perhaps just grill for 30 seconds and eat right away - like in the Korean BBQ style.. eating it in front.. and yeah a mixture of fat and meat too... since too little fat is a problem, yet if the whole thing is fat that can be a problem too. I understand tougher pieces of beef are o.k. for long slow cooking.. and sometimes there can be pathogens in raw meat that apparently can frequently be killed by freezing first. What's a Bart inside a Bart? A nested Bart? A Bart fractal? A Bartal! There are some thoughts that the end of the month options that close today around 4:30pm central time are tending to hold BTC prices within our current range - which surely is a bit of a sad attribute of our current BTC price dynamics - since it seems problematic to have non-bitcoin denominated products that might be considered to be forms of leverage on both sides of the trading range to be supposedly keeping BTC prices within such trading range. It could well be the case that I don't know enough about how markets and finances work, since so often I consider that it could end up playing out that the various leveraged markets blow up based on the characteristics of the underlying which could contribute towards there both being a shortage of it and also demands upon actual settling with the underlying - since bitcoin can be so easily moved and settled in near real time. Instead it seems that dollar products are still somehow keeping bitcoin with ranges that status quo power brokers seem to be establishing. Do "we" even know what "we" own? At or around today's closing of end of the month options (within about 3.5 hours as I type this post), we could potentially have real BTC price actions, which could be break-outs.. and/or could include some fake outs too... but then maybe if we might consider our more recent range to be something like $82k to $96k.. then it could be interesting to see break-outs from that kind of a seemingly narrow range, otherwise maybe the broader range would be $75k to $108k, even though getting below $80k would cause its own levels of concerns. If we close above right around $94,380, then the yearly candle would be green.. and the price is not really very far away from that price, and it would be nice to see several of the premature whiners (about 2025 being red) to have to eat their words in regards to those irritating characteristics that involve "calling it" before it has even happened. .. especially when we are still close to that threshold number, and there is still nearly a week to go... and for me, it is hardly any kind of deal-breaker anyhow. to be describing arbitrary lines (end of the calendar year) as if they carry so much significance - even though admittedly so many of us had been expecting a bit more UPpity in this 2025 calendar year (perhaps doubling or more in regards to the ATH, even if maybe the end of the year might have ended up being a correction - which so far our top seems to be $126,272 on October 6. It is still good that we had 4 ATHs in 2025, even though they were relatively smally ones.

He was in loving company, until the last breath. I'd call that a successful life. Giving his love and receiving the same. Dementia is quite a curse, as i happened to witness regarding my grandfather in law. The suffering is finally over now (for him) but i guess you know the process of letting go of a loved one, so i dearly wish you the power and endurance to work it through another time, while it's still different each time. It's the relationships that make our lives so precious, and your father will always be there, within you. In your heart and in your mind. EDIT: Added the last sentence

Sorry to hear about your father. May his soul rest in peace. Father is the only person in this world, who really want to see you excelling and surpassing him in life. We only realise what our parents have done for us, until we become parents.

Go backwards to a better time say 1999 or so and think about both you mom and dad when they were healthy . I will sometimes recall my parents and two brothers when we were at summer vacation circa 1969. It can be a good way to think of a better chapter in their lives. God bless them and your family.

Why am I not surprised you don't know what "~" is. And neither are true as it impossible to exactly calculate and must be an approximation.

I understand tougher pieces of beef are o.k. for long slow cooking.. and sometimes there can be pathogens in raw meat that apparently can frequently be killed by freezing first. Food observer time  Please try to grill with good heat until the meat doesn't stick to the surface, then immediately put it into a preheated oven at 110-120°c until the juice starts flowing, which is about 5 minutes. Feel free to experiment with various levels of pink, and it won't get dry as long as the temperature is low. You can also try other lower temperature treatments, like putting it into a pan with a lid, on a thin layer of salted water, which should be boiling. Add a chunk of butter, so the steak is steamed by buttery, hot mist, for some minutes. Keep the pan moving all the time. I hope i didn't omit a detail, it's a tip i originally got from my brother in law. I'll meet him tomorrow and i hopefully don't forget to check back on the recipe. I am not exactly sure if i mix up the water layer with some other method, so it might work better using only butter in a hot pan with a lid and keep slewing the meat.

Sorry to hear it man... You did good being beside him until the end. It meant a lot to him, no matter the dementia. Your father was still there somewhere in that changed man, and he appreciated it. Time will heal the wound, but the scar will remain -- and so it should. May you be strong and remember him.
