SubponticatePoster posted:There is always someone next in line, and after VP they start going to members of Congress. If the POTUS/VP are removed at the same time then it goes to Speaker of the House (currently shithead Ryan), then to Pro Tempore of the Senate (currently shithead Hatch) and further on down. I suppose if a meteor struck the Capitol while Trump was giving the State of the Union and wiped out every single serving Rep and Senator we'd be in a bit of a pickle, but mostly from having to replace all those people at once. The "designated survivor" referenced in the TV show title is the random cabinet secretary who doesn't get to go to the State of the Union Address, for exactly that reason.

ilmucche posted:Isn't bitcoin a bit like right before the great depression when people would make up companies on paper only just to sell stock? It's like in the 1930's during the great depression when people would put coins in their butt to hide them from highwaymen and also because the FDIC hadn't been established.

2 thoughts on 5:17: a) I've seen a lot of lions in person in my life, but I've never had any sound like idling diesel engines, good lord. b) are they feeding actual human scalps to them?  This feels like that time a goon tried to dry-age a human leg in the charcuterie thread.

Renegret posted:Inflation free Using that chart to claim that Bitcoins are inflated is totally assbackwards. If you price an item in USD and the price of that item increases like that, what is inflating is the USD, not the asset. When gold goes from $200 an ounce to $2000 an ounce, it’s the *dollar* that is inflating, not *gold*. That is why people buy gold in the first place: as a hedge against inflation: if the dollar inflated and becomes worth less then your gold retains its buying power because you can convert it into an increased amount of dollars. Bitcoins are very probably *overvalued*, just as the stock market is. But that chart doesn’t show *inflation* of bitcoins. .Quite the opposite.

Personal schad: I mined 3 bitcoins on my PC wayyyy back in the day. I used them to order the Butterfly Labs Jalapeno mining box. About $300 at the time. It took a year to arrive and by that time was totally useless. Then it turned out the people selling them had been using them to mine for themselves, and that was the reason for the delay. Those 3 coins would have been $30k today but i got this little black box instead. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/02/bitcoin-startup-butterfly-labs-settles-with-ftc-for-38-6m-but-it-cant-pay/

Would have been worth 2 stim packs now, sheesh, could have prevented me from turning full ghoul.

Instead you set up a whole pile of computers that grind for weeks on end and burn $50k in electricity to get one $10k bitcoin

Sagebrush posted:Quick, somebody warn Krusty the clown! That was based on real events if anyone didn't know. McDonald's offered free food for Americans getting medals in the 1984 games, and then lost big when we swept everything because all the communist countries pulled out so it was USA versus like Canada, China, Japan, uh....Yugoslavia?...New Zealand?...half of Germany? Although arguably the games are more sporting when North Korea boycotts, as the Supreme Leader would've have just gotten every medal, as well as some new ones.
