i dont see how mining is investing real money?

even just mining with your laptop you have to pay for electricity and you do accelerate the degradation of your hardware. if you want to mine in any serious capacity, say bitcoin or ethereum and not some clownish poo poo like dogecoins that is a joke compared the joke that the cryptocurrencies are in general, you also will incur a lot of extra hardware costs to make the farms, or even just a lovely home rack or whatever, fire safety concerns, etc etc. chinese btc mining farms will go into running loss the instant btc hits under 7k, afaik

basically if anyone wants to laugh about cryptoshit there's a decent book written by a goond that will get you up to speed

https://www.amazon.com/Attack-50-Foot-Blockchain-Contracts-ebook/dp/B073CPP581 linking just amazon but afaik you can find it for like 4 dollars

To put it succinctly, the costs of mining mean you'll spend more on hardware and power than you'll get in return for whatever you manage to mine.

I liked district nines interpretation of racism between species, although I suppose it was really just picking out clear examples of racism against people and then saying "all this stuff, but make it happen to aliens."

Isn't it "Join the Air Force if you want at least a chance at getting a useable MOS" and "Join the Marines if you wanna be walking combat arms stereotype"?

Edit: I guess the US Army has "2 out of 2 for leaking secrets to the Russians" as a unique selling point? :shrug:

The national health service covered the cost so she was like “no I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt” and the doc was like “well, they’re free...” but he was definitely supposed to have given her paperwork for them instead of just sending her on her way. How this country doesn’t have a painkiller abuse problem I have no idea.

i would assume it lacks the big driving factor of certain sorts of prescription guidelines consistently causing withdrawl/reup cycles, which is what caused it all to spike in the us
