I use to sell cars, I believe that is the future (in most ways). Imo, future ‘dealers’ will have a demo of each model (maybe top line/base line) for consumers to try then order. No more commission sale ppl, rather ‘agents’ for the brand. With ppl being able to buy a hyundai/ Ford via amazon now only proves this is direction (but ppl still want to test drive/feel what they are buying before paying $20k+ for a product). Will be no more negotiating, pressure sales ppl/f&i managers, will be more like a furniture store transaction imo. Well see sooner than later

Oh so the Tesla model.

Yes I agree BTW. The buying experience with Tesla was incredible compared to traditional brands

How is Breckenridge looking? Haven't really followed snowfall until this week and I see all of the Rockies are suffering. I imagine thousands of Louisiana folks will be migrating there next week

Great flick BTW

Be sure to reserve a FULL 24 hours before the start of the day you want to park.
If I'm flying out Monday morning, you are saying pay for an extra day and reserve sunday?
Kids getting tired? Never experienced that before :lol:

Reserving Parking at MSY

Posted by TigerTatorTots on 2/9/26 at 2:42 pm
Flying out on Monday next week and I assume the already undersized parking garages will be maxed out with a lot of LA leaving for Mardi Gras.

I've never reserved parking ahead of time - usually just end up checking the MSY garage website on the drive to the airport and pivot to USPark if long term and short term are full.

So my question - how do they ensure you have a spot if you reserve ahead of time and the Long Term garage ends up being FULL when you get there?

Is this over the various GLP peptides? I thought you couldn't patent a peptide. Or was HIMS copying something of NVO that was under patent?

Will be in Breck next week and we have a couple days at the end without skiing. What would be good to occupy time with a 4 and 6 yr old? They have a sledding hill somewhere or something of that sort?
Says the guy that is heavily invested in the most manipulated asset in the history of the planet...

I don't disagree with everything you've said there but take the blinders off when you speak on institutional manipulation

If the difficulty decreases to keep the chain viable…it means the price dipped. When the system recalibrates for the first time to make it easier to mine the remaining coins, that’s the signal the system collapsed.

There have been multiple events where hash fell off significantly, difficulty adjusted, and over timing mining capacity returned to the network. The big one I can recall was the China mining ban a few years ago. Something like 30% of mining capacity left the system due to that event. It recovered with no issues
Bitcoin difficulty adjusts with mining capacity falling off thus lowering the cost to mine thus brining new mining capacity back online

Eta: Phi said basically the same exact thing. And good point pointing out that someone in it from 2013 shouldn’t be asking that bitcoin 101 question

Why would they go bankrupt? They own spot btc so they will never be margin called. They have barely any debt. The cash on the balance sheet is enough to pay almost 3 years of dividends. They have shown that they can raise over $1billion in cash in a single week during the depths of a bear market. Yea stock price is in the absolute shitter but they are so far away from bankruptcy at this point
Crypto is tiny compared to everything else around it. I'd say liquidity tightening, underlying economy risks, and Japan FX is bringing everything down
