    Any solar eclipse plans?

    It's not. We did both the annular (ring of fire) in Albuquerque last year which peaked at 91% and totality this time. While I remember it getting notably dimmer and much cooler during the annular, it's not much a preview of what you see and feel in the moments leading up to and during totality...

    Any solar eclipse plans?

    Dallas TX came though!! Definitely something I recommend everyone experiemce at least once in their life. Pictures don't at all describe the feeling you get as the world around you dims and then goes pretty dark, while above you there's a black hole in the sky. Will definitely chase the 2045 one.

    Any solar eclipse plans?

    If the weather holds up in TX I'll be heading to TX to see it from the DFW area. I think they get around 3 minutes of totality so I don't us dealing with traffic too far from the hotel to get an extra minute. It's probably crazy to travel half the county to do it, but the next one within the...

    The anti-crypto thread

    It's basically a support group for having missed out on life changing choices. Same as the anti-AI thread.

    California sues oil companies over fraudulent denying of global warming.

    Can they sue whoever is behind mandatory RTO as well? It's another unnecessary massive waste of resources and energy heavily lobbied by commercial oligarchs, fossil fuel companies and others whos profits heavily depend on operating like it's still 1995.

    California raises min wage for major chain fast food workers to $20 per hour starting early 2024

    In-N-Out for my small family of 3 is less than $20 (we don't get drinks), whereas when we out at a restaurant it's like $60-$80 with tip included.

    Just curious....how is the weather in your neck of the woods?

    Thankfully I live in that tiny little sliver of socal that still gets the pacific ocean cooling effect. Those of us in the area see the first big mountain range inland and know the temperatures jump 20F just by going over them. 80F on the coast = 100F+ just 20 minutes away by car. We just came...

    200+ gwei fees on Ethereum the past few days. Sorry guys, but people are getting back on. I'm actually frustrated over, yet again, the stupidity that people are paying for. Like let's go ahead and block legitimate projects from deploying and using Ethereum so degens can speculate on stupid meme...

    This Bizarre New AI-Generated Beer Ad Is Extremely Eerie

    The problem is while it may be enforced within the US, other countries around the world will do whatever they want with their carbon output. It's largely why we are spiraling towards climate collapse (with Bitcoin having contributed an entire... 1% towards that). And so these companies will...

    So you have no one to blame but yourself for having missed out on... $28,000 BTC even after a major crash. You either find it more fun to rip on all of it just to fit in the mob here, or lack the attention span to try to understand the technical side of what enables all of this, or you're just...

    The anti-crypto thread

    For years we've had the capability to program smart contracts that are capable of updating the amount of BTC or ETH required for a future payment based on a fixed or even interest accruing amount of USD thanks to price oracles. Problem solved : https://docs.chain.link/data-feeds/price-feeds/...
