  1. I watched 65 last night. I'm not sure why I watched the whole thing. It wasn't particularly interesting.
  2. @Wally Fairway - some context [starting] here: https://www.pmbug.com/threads/tin-foil-hats-economic-reality-and-the-total-perspective-vortex.75/post-66050
  3. De-dollerization is a growing trend, but mostly in non-USA aligned spheres (ie. BRICS & 3rd world). It surprises me to hear that there is pushback on using dollars for international trade coming from the EU. Things happen gradually and then suddenly I guess.
  4. Watched this over the last few days. i found it oscillating between interesting and infuriating. A lot of their experiments were deeply flawed (if not outright designed to manipulate the results [like the matchmaking one]) and/or did not support conclusions that they were representing.

  8. D&D Honor Among Thieves - I expected popcorn flick. Film met expectations. Had more laughs in it than I expected. Parts of the story/action didn't really make sense and/or progressed too fast, but whatever, don't sweat the details and it's a fun enough ride.

  10. Crypto isn't legal tender. It's an asset with unrealized value until sold for dollars AFAIK.
  11. You are probably correct. I just saw that only a few episodes were available and assumed it was 1 per week.
  12. I think that case could have bigger implications than just "omg billionaires". I'm curious to find out how it might apply to staking rewards with various crypto. Crypto staking rewards are not realized income until the crypto is sold.
  13. Anyone watching season 3 of the Witcher yet? Thoughts? I plan to watch after I get through a queue of other shows.
  14. New season of Jack Ryan is rolling out 1 episode per week. I think I'm going to wait until it's all available for binging.

  17. Stupid Bank of America. They should be listening to the Surly braintrust that knows better. https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/06/29/tokenization-is-likely-to-transform-infrastructure-and-financial-markets-bank-of-america/

  19. Gold and silver both will likely be under pressure for the rest of the year as the Fed is signalling that they want to raise rates a couple of more times. Once the Fed informs that they are done with the rate hikes, precious metals should start to rise again IMO. Whether or not silver catches fire and outperforms gold (bringing the gold-silver ratio down a bit) remains to be seen, but it's currently sitting at 83 and it has ranged anywhere from ~30 to 115 since 2000 with an average closer to the 60-70 range: https://www.macrotrends.net/1441/gold-to-silver-ratio It wouldn't be unreasonable to think that silver could outperform gold at some point in the next couple of years (providing a better opportunity for trading silver for gold).

  23. You aren't fooling anyone you know. We know you love you some financial market based conspiracies. ~~~ Excited Delirium gives LEO carte blanche to treat all manner of medical distress with prejudice (as illegal drug use). Hopefully, there will be some change to their training and procedures to actually evaluate cases where people are suffering medical issues.
  24. Probably belongs in the unpopular opinions thread, but I never got the love for the Godfather movies. They bore the hell out of me. Largely, I think, because I can't identify with or respect any of the characters. Same issue I had with the Sopranos show. Films with Mob/Gangster protagonists just aren't in my wheelhouse for the most part I guess.
