It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I’m really hoping the next couple of weeks are going to be a funny time for crypto. Bitcoin is back under $30k, and has lost nearly 25% in the last 5 days. Please let this be the crash.

Crypto crashing won't even be a wake up call for a lot of these guys, some of the gamestop people just denied buying stock in a brick and mortar shop that sells items you can get digitally at 300 was a bad idea so now they started a cult.

The whole GameStop thing is fascinating to me as on one hand it looks like people sticking it to The Man (hedge funds), but it also means a lot of dolts are wrecking themselves by direct trading using programs like Robinhood.

Then again, those that are gambling on the stock market without any foresight into what they're getting themselves into are as smart as dolphins.

It's more likely she's using actual metrics and applying astrology terminology to it, and ppl think it's validation of the coins (it's not it just adds more confirmation bias, which hypes up coin prices)

Just heard back from Purple. They offered us an upgrade for our mattress, but their upgrade prices were from $1000-3100, so we just decided to ask for a replacement. Sure enough, 10 minutes later we have a replacement mattress for a 6 year old mattress on the way, free shipping and they'll pick the original up. I'll give them credit, they stick by their warranty.

Arizona all the emissions places are government run. Turn up, get in the queue, pay your $17 and off you go. Main issue is getting something registered as historic so you don’t have to do it on anything more than 15 years old since the AZDOT website is trash and if you call no one there knows anything.

It is so bizarre to me that Minnesota doesn't require any kind of vehicle inspections. Such a bizarre combination of states don't:

Motor Biscuit posted:

All together, there are seven total states that have no required vehicle inspections: Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, South Carolina, and South Dakota. Michigan and Mississippi also generally don’t require inspections, except for in some extremely specific scenarios. For example, in Michigan, newly rebuilt vehicles, that is vehicles built from salvaged or scrapped parts, require a safety inspection. In Mississippi, vehicles that have tinted windows also need a safety inspection.

Also the Mississippi thing is...odd.

Arizona doesn’t need inspections just the emissions if you live in Phoenix or Tucson metro areas. I had to get an inspection of the C10 done that I bought with a salvage title more to show none of it was stolen than if it was safe to drive.

I drove with expired out of state plates for like a year in Oakland/Berkeley before I got new plates, had a busted tail light for half of that time too. You'll be fine as long as you pass the paper bag test.

Maybe call up one of those places that no longer does emissions testing and ask them to recommend a place that does; they're likely to know of one in the area if they have a fair number of former customers showing up and having to be turned away?

Have to admit, I was briefly contemplating a small investment in some cryptocurrency for diversification purposes 6 months ago when a bunch of longstanding financial traders seemed to be backing crypto as an ongoing concern. I think I even posted something to that effect in here or the long-term investment thread.

Thankfully I'm lazy and didn't do anything before a bunch of celebrities popped up shilling for crypto/NFTs signaling the max audience phase of a ponzi scheme collapse.
