Yeah, dude is the ex-husband shitbag leech. The new husband comes from a really rough background and did a lot of under the table work, I guess, and trusted his ex waaaaaaayyy too much. He's really kind but he veers from over-trusting to just rejecting common sense stuff depending on his mood. She can really pick 'em.

kimbo305 posted:What is Tether? Here's a good explanation from the YOSPOS Bitcoin thread. For background, last year a prominent exchange called Bitfinex was hacked (or "hacked") and instead of declaring bankruptcy then they decided to give all their depositors a haircut and reimburse them for their losses with a "BFX token" which was basically an illegal security which they claimed they would eventually redeem to make their customers whole. A few months later Wells Fargo, the last US bank that would work with Bitfinex, stopped processing USD-demoninated wire transfers for them. Shortly thereafter Bitfinex "redeemed" all those illegal securities for US dollars (which were conveniently trapped in your Bitfinex account since they couldn't send or receive USD wire transfers). Since then they've been relying on Tethers as a proxy for US dollars (since each Tether is supposed to be backed by 1 US dollar) but even that is sketchy since Wells Fargo cut off Tether at the same time they cut off Bitfinex (since it turned out the two companies were owned by the same parent company) so nobody knows how people are supposedly sending USD to Tether at a rate of ~$50+ million per month in recent months.

I honestly don't understand why they had to bring in this other currency. I mean I get it -- it's a scam and people are dumb, but what was the attraction of having Tether currency?

Inept posted:It makes hiding their complete lack of actual money easier because it's another layer of obfuscation. Got it in one. Tether exists to let them pretend their numbers are backed with cash value. Up until recently, they pretended publicly that the comany running Tether wasn't effectively a wholly owned subsidiary of BitFinEx, too.

I still smile when I hear Mt Gox and think "no no no, that's the Magic: the Gathering Online Exchange." So much of Bitcoin was handled by a place where people traded digital versions of collectable cards for a digital version of a game of real cards that is played in real life.

I'm not even making this up, the whole idea of stuff like Tether and it's sister/cousin token/coins/currencies came from exchanges that had to issue something of promissory value in order to make their account holders whole after they were hacked and looted for millions of dollars.

This seems like the best place for my question. There is a new bank of America commercial about sending money to friends. In this commercial people seem to have trouble figuring their part of the bill. Do restaurants in large cities not do separate checks? The ad makes it seem like figuring out what your part of the bill is super hard. What am i missing?

In Boston some will, some won't. Sometimes it comes down to the server themselves and if they're lazy about it.

joebuddah posted:This seems like the best place for my question. It varies on restaurant. Some will split the checks but not 15 ways. I like those little touchscreens they have in some chain restaurants now because they make it really easy to split up the bill and you don't even have to wait for the server to drop off the check.

Uh I’m sorry if we’ve discussed this before, but https://youtu.be/7RAZF4kJIh4 These people moved from Arizona to Chicago, bought a bunch of furniture because they moved in a car. They decided to take the train one stop to chipotle instead is driving, for the experience. They got yelled at by a homeless person and that caused them to move back to Arizona after not even 1 night in their apartment. They broke their lease for the temporary apartment and their long term apartment, drove “2 or 3 days back” that night He’s “business” is flipping houses.

brugroffil posted:I could only make it half way. These are the two most sheltered people in the world. Chipotle aside, if you can't handle a homeless person being weird at you, you probably shouldn't live in a big city. And if your first thought at a crazy homeless person following you is "he's gonna shoot us!  ", you probably should just lock yourself in your McMansion forever since the outside world is clearly too scary for you.Also  at them having to explain how the L works, like stuff like "buying tickets" and "having to take stairs to the platform" are super-exotic concepts.

More seriously, though, this whole puppies on credit / puppy repo thing seems to have been common enough and is kinda just far enough over the threshold of hosed up that maybe it'll get legislated against. (OK maybe if you didn't have a deeply dysfunctional government. Lol.)
