  1. Damn. I hadn't heard this yet. My dad was in the OCTG business for 35+ years and retired a little early when it fell apart around 2018ish. They've had a really bumpy ride the last 5 years with consolidation/liquidation and now it's all coming home to roost.
  2. I claimed my .1826 WETH reward today and have earned 172 $LOOKS so far for staking the 1,200 $LOOKS that I got for free. I've used it a few times for buying/selling NFTs and it's still got a ways to go to be a full replacement for OS, but you can't deny the power of their staking/rewards. I love that they pay you in WETH! One of the guys that is in the NFT discord that gyro and me are in bought 31 ETH worth of $LOOKS yesterday at $4.62 and staked it all. He's already up 10 ETH.... ffs, some of these guys have brass balls.
  3. That's a good message and he seems like a good dude. I wish him luck.
  4. I don't feel sorry for him, but what a beating it would be to go answer a bunch of "gotcha" questions like that one from dullards that think they are really landing haymakers with material like that. Oof.
  5. mmm hmmm, more like once-in-a-5-month event.
  6. Hopefully he put a little hay in the barn for times like these.
  7. Right. Which I'm sure this dude reads cover-to-cover every day, amirite?
  8. This is the most surprising thing to me I guess. Either the flippers just haven't made their way over to CR yet or most everyone holding chars are some of the most diamond-handed mofos in the NFT space. 2.3% of the entire collection listed for sale!? Is there anything else that compares to that? Even things like the BAYC that are up over 1,000% of their mint price have 12-13% listed.
  9. Fucking this. What, exactly, are we supposed to take away from you sharing this? How, exactly, will this policy impact you? Somewhere in the world something is happening that I don't like so I'm going to share that news on the internet? It might be time for you to take a look at where you are getting your "news" from because they are fucking with you and trying to rile you up over some BS that has no bearing at all on your world.
  10. I had two "upgrades" from the recruiting event - a skelly and an orc when the best things I had prior were blue and white elves. I still haven't sold anything but might just to take some profit off the table here.
  11. I skimmed it pretty quickly and he makes some very good points about people not wanting to do the work of running their own servers or maybe even controlling their own keys. BUT, any conversation about web3 that doesn't even mention DAOs and/or shared ownership of the "companies" is incomplete IMO. This space is moving so fast that since this article was published an entirely new NFT marketplace launched and gave away a significant chunk of the equity immediately - to their potential users. This is the most compelling thing to me and is what could actually turn large chunks of the internet on its head. https://looksrare.org/ You can now earn WETH just for trading NFTs instead of it all going to OpenSea. If you were a power user of OpenSea you were given tokens/equity in the LooksRare marketplace to entice you to use it instead of OpenSea. Their platform is nowhere near as developed as OS, but they are gaining on it pretty quickly.
  12. I got the email and moved all of mine over too. Eddie is making me second guess, or maybe I just need to open a blockfi account and capture the full 9% for myself instead of letting Yotta take a scrape.
  13. Is this the one that you got? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GUFOC8/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_4N0HRZTSR7RF7BKSJG7V?th=1 I've been looking at them for years but have never pulled the trigger. Are you enjoying it? Easy to use and the auto-alignment works as advertised? I live out in the sticks and can see the stars very well with the naked eye, so I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger on something.
  14. That's a sweet looking rig. What do the panels charge and how does it sleep? You and a special lady friend fit in there?
  15. Keystone Crooks.
  16. This too. You don't think people willing to risk their lives to physically block the lines of a vaccine site in CA are willing to spew a bunch of BS onto the VAERS site? That's probably not the best source of data for your argument Joe.
  17. Jesus, just take the L already Joe, for fuck's sake. I posted my thoughts about him on the other thread a few years back. At the time I was spending 8+ hours in the car every week and listened to a shitload of his podcasts. I wouldn't listen to the MMA or comedian guests, but I really enjoyed quite a few of the others. But like @Al_4_ISU said, he somehow had a pretty significant shift in his tone, content and to some extent his guests that turned me off. His covid hot takes were the final straw for me and I haven't listened to any of his shows in quite some time. It's a bummer because his reach is significant and for some reason people put weight in his takes. But the clip above is a perfect example of his shift. I feel like in the past he would have taken the L and said something pithy about how he's a meathead and he's not sure how he missed it so bad. But now he doubles down, and then when punched in the face with another source (other than his SME guest), he goes to the tried and true tactic of attacking the source. I'M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS BRAH!
  18. Yup, River Blindness shouldn't be a problem for him. So he's got that going for him...which is nice.
  19. Yup. When they spent the entirety of the first 2 days gaslighting/lying/banning photos, etc., all over the size of the inauguration crowd, I knew we were fucked.
  20. Ahhh, sounds like we're down one more Q-tard today too. Tis a shame.
  21. ^^^this guy gets it! I claimed my 1200 and staked immediately. It's up over $4 this morning: https://www.dextools.io/app/ether/pair-explorer/0x6231e794773e4dc0b1ad79105d850a05d5fc0fcb I plan on using Looks Rare on anything I'm buying now. Their UI is not as user friendly as OS just yet, so I may even have to use OS to sort/filter to find what I want and then I'll go to LR to buy it. Pay 2.5% to OS vs. pay 2% to myself/stakers? Not much of a decision. And I also saw something about Coinbase already having an equity position in OS, so I'm not sure they are going to drop a full-on marketplace to nuke OS or not. That could be Twitter disinfo, I'm not sure yet.
  22. Yea man, not bragging at all, please update us every once in a while!
