halflife

Thank you for this. You put my thoughts into words.

Almost every episode of extras is awesome, but of course Patrick Stewart is just perfect for that show.

Watching him in Star Trek TNG made me reevaluate how management of people should be done, his character was assertive but compassionate. High morals coupled with grounded reason.

I also want to mention his hilarious role as bullock in American dad, the way he takes a role both so seriously and ridiculously makes him so fantastically hilarious.

I love him and will miss him.

I’m pretty sure a database row backed by an app is much easier than handling crypto.

And decentralization here doesn’t mean a lot when you need to trust the broker with real stocks backing.

Ah I understand, so it’s backed by an actual stock, and you just trust the broker to not liquidate and leave you with nothing.

But what is the crypto value here? Why not just a database row?

I’m trying to understand what tokenized stocks actually mean. Where does the value come from? A stock is an actual percentage of a company’s ownership. A token of a stock is basically an NFT of a stock? The value is only from what other people are willing to pay for it?

I remember having Word 5 installed on my pc, while the other classmates had Word 97. I was so jealous for their wordart!

I was at a fish ramen place in Tokyo, they had a bonito block with a hand operated shaver, looked like a giant pencil sharpener.

Next to the ramen they would serve the bonito flakes contained in a small net, And suggest to soak for 10 seconds, but no more than 30 because the flavor would be too intense.

Just had that when visiting japan, wanted to order food to the hotel using Uber Eats, and everything’s in Japanese. So I translated it. Seeing parent and child bowl made it an immediate buy!

The videos show Hezbollah members explode in public, but nearby civilians were unharmed. The explosive material was only a few grams. It didn’t even kill most people that were holding on to it, just maimed them with groin, hand, and eye damages

What does Hamas has anything to do with the pagers attack?

In Lebanon?

Oh you have the numbers? Or is it just a lie?

It’s a mix of culture and army bias.

Culturally, Israel has a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship, coupled with general lack of tolerance for bureaucracy, makes for pretty agile organizations.

In the military side, it creates a country sized funnel that picks the best people and places them together trying to solve problems that would seem impossible. When these people are discharged, they are friends that knows how to work best together. Think of it like a larger and more focused version of an Ivy League school

The idea of “greater Israel” is a bogeyman that lives in the heads of people that hates Israel in several factors of greater numbers than there are people in Israel who believe that.

You can literally count with both hands the amount of people in Israel that advocate for “greater Israel”
