Lagarde's speech: https://mishtalk.com/economics/as-amazing-as-it-sounds-ecb-president-christine-lagarde-is-making-some-sense Important observation: Yellen, Lagarde, et al are recognizing the global shift. It remains to be seen what Saudi Arabia does with the BRICS. It's the fulcrum that could accelerate events or stagnate them IMO.

  8. I misspoke. Two weeks out. May 3 is decision day.
  9. We are roughly a month out from the next Fed decision on rates. Recent news appears to be bolstering a case for a Fed pause on rate hikes. As long as that continues, the market is going to build on that expectation. Mixed news might bolster the case for another rate hike. Markets will likely be green on news favoring a pause and red on news favoring a hike.

  12. I look forward to seeing Quantum fight a vertical spinner. Quantum has impressed me this season. Should be the swan song for Gigabyte. I wonder if they throw caution to the wind and go all out with power for high kinetic hits. End Game should still win I think. Shreddit Bro means I get to laugh at whatshisnuts again. Overhaul aint all that either, so it's going to be a cripple fight. Rotator should beat Fusion even though Rotator has looked awful this season and Fusion has looked better this season. I like the scorpion over he frog. Ribbot doesn't seem to have the magic they had last season. Rookie bot battle likely goes to Terrortops if their driver is on point last their last fight. Main event looks spicy. I like Copperhead, but I think the odds are probably a toss up

  14. It's early in the trading day, but Etherium is up over 4% already. Looks like money is happy the update went through...
  15. Shagella update went live without a hitch and Etherium trading appears to be stable.
  16. "Shagella" update for Etherium happens around 5:30pm today. Etherium might be a bit volatile today, tomorrow and beyond...
  17. Having 5 judges for the final round was a good idea. Tougher on the chefs to make 6 identical plates, but 5 votes reduces outlier opinions skewing the averages. Also, I don't think that Simon's/Justin's comments are that critical. The judges so far are pretty much able to discern what they are seeing and tasting and how the food was prepared. They could probably just do away with Simon/Justin and it wouldn't affect the judges scoring IMO.

  19. It's not siphoning. Tide is lifting all the crypto boats.
  20. I found 40lb tub of 3in pucks at Costco.com for $199. Best price I have found so far. I found 50lb tub of 73% powder on amazon for $270. Half as much as Leslie, but still feels like I'm being face raped.
  21. What the fucking fuck? I just got back from Leslie Pool supply where I went to buy some chlorine. The last time I went there (1 or 2 years ago), I bought a 100lb tub of powder and it cost me around $280 IIRC. $280 is what they want for a 25lb tub now. Wow! Where are you folk buying chlorine (powder/shock - not tabs)?
  22. Re-reading the article this morning and it struck me as amusing - at a high/abstract level - that "intellectual property" (whether patents or copyrights) seemingly does not encompass ideas or processes. So what exactly is protectible?
