Normal person: ¬(Garbage | Trash) = okay to put here if it is not garbage and not trash
Computer programmers: ¬ Garbage | Trash = okay to put here if it is not garbage or it is trash, but since garbage and trash are the same thing and ¬P | P = 1, it's okay to put anything here
It's essentially a payment plan here in the US. Switch to a new carrier, get an iPhone for free as long as you stay subscribed to their most expensive tier for a year. How it usually works is that the phone is sold to you on an installment plan, say $80 per month, and the "free" part of that is where they also give you an $80 bill credit each month. If you cancel early then you have to pay off the remaining balance of the phone in a lump sum.
In a normal context, I would agree with you but when louder singing is enforced by the State then I take issue with that.
Believe it or not, it happening in one country doesn't mean it's okay to happen in another country
Don't forget—this is a nuke threat. Israel has nukes.
As stated in the previous comment:
There is risk, of course, but it is not market risk
I understand and agree with everything you said.
You don't seem to know the meaning of the word "spend".
How much have I bought in crypto to hold myself? I don't hold any crypto. The answer is zero.
The figure that appears in column E of Form 8949? Over a million USD.
You answers seethe of jealousy. You keep trying to pin the label "crypto bro" on me because you want to dismiss me as someone not worth listening to, and the money I earned as illegitimate and fake. You argue not because you think you're right, but because you can't bear to be wrong. To you, crypto is a scam with no use and everything it touches turns to shit, and everyone who says otherwise must therefore hold the opposite opinion and think everything it touches turns to gold. Binary thinking at its worst.
Your thinking is simplistic and devoid of nuance. You're right about one thing though. I am condescending. Because you deserve it.
Reply if you desperately need to put in the last word with a feigned aura of coolness, and laugh it off, because there are no more arguments to be made. Only insults left. You won't receive a response, and I won't even read whatever you write, because this conversation is over.
Go buy a Cybertruck or something.
Read carefully, because it seems that reading comprehension is not your strong suit.
Wiktionary defines "crypto bro" as "an enthusiastic cryptocurrency supporter, usually male, especially a dogmatic and condescending one".
You may notice I do not fit any of those categories, besides perhaps being male.
For the adoption of cryptocurrency by businesses and states, I am apathetic, even mildly in opposition. As for being dogmatic, I entirely am not, because I don't give a shit.
But I will admit, you have successfully tempted me into being condescending towards you.
This is not different from five state-wide positions with a requirement that the candidates live in a specific region. It's weird but not particularly unfair.
It's just a matter of presentation.
Why would I make up the number 1 most common interaction between a Cybertruck owner and a normal person?
But here's a picture I took of his car while he was attending church (across the street from the grocery store):
And yes, you can tell it is new because it doesn't have a number plate yet.
The picture was taken on 30 March, the interaction happened a few days earlier
This is not investing. I did not ever hold significant amounts of cryptocurrency. People would ask me to sell them crypto and then I'd buy it on a crypto exchange and then sell it to them.
I do not believe holding cryptocurrency qualifies as "investing". It is much closer to gambling as the entire valuation is purely speculative. I get that all investing is gambling to some extent, but it's not the same as stocks, for example, because holding stocks gives you voting rights for a company's board of directors and entitles you to a portion of the company's profits in the form of dividends.
There is risk, of course, but it is not market risk.
(past tense)
But how do you define "crypto bro"? Sure not "any person who's ever held cryptocurrency", right? Because that would make 25% of the US population crypto bros.
I absolutely reject this categorisation. I don't give a shit about crypto or any of the ideas behind it. It's interesting from a technical perspective as a person who holds a computer science degree, but I'm in it for the money. Holding crypto is gambling, and nothing more.
The only crypto I hold now is for online poker sites and for buying precious metals on r/pmsforsale on Reddit.
What makes you think I'm a crypto bro?

This image is from Google Maps and depicts Maritime Square on Tsing Yi, the island where my grandmother lives. I chose it because I think it is the embodiment of the new millennium Hong Kong urban development.
The entire development is built by the MTR Corporation, a Government-owned publicly traded company that is primarily known for running the Hong Kong metro system of the same name.
The primary attraction of this development is the eponymous Maritime Square Mall, a large five-storey indoor shopping arcade. It is attached to Tsing Yi Station, a metro station on the overground Tung Chung Line and there is a small bus interchange on the ground floor.
The mall has shops including a grocery store, around a dozen restaurants, a Marks & Spencer, bakeries, clothing retailers, electronics stores, a few banks, and some miscellaneous other stores. Notably NOT in the building is a school, otherwise, you might even be able to spend your whole life without leaving it.
There are several towers extending out of the main mall complex which contain hundreds of units of (unaffordable) housing. I think there is a botanical garden on the roof, too. The entrance to these towers is inside the mall, where there's just a lift lobby where you'd expect a shop to be. The lift lobby is closed to the public; a keycard or code is required to enter.
I think it's a similar concept to a 15-minute city, but more like a 15-minute building.
The circuitous supply of Iranian-made weapons to Ukraine comes as Russia mounts an aggressive push and House Republicans stall further U.S. military assistance.
The Pentagon has provided Ukraine with thousands of Iranian-made weapons seized before they could reach Houthi militants in Yemen, U.S. officials said Tuesday. It’s the Biden administration’s latest infusion of emergency military support for Kyiv while a multibillion-dollar aid package remains stalled in the Republican-led House.
The weapons include 5,000 Kalashnikov rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, along with a half-million rounds of ammunition. They were seized from four “stateless vessels” between 2021 and 2023 and made available for transfer to Ukraine through a Justice Department civil forfeiture program targeting Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East.
Officials said Iran intended to supply the weapons to the Houthis, who have staged a months-long assault on commercial and military vessels transiting off the Arabian Peninsula. Central Command said the cache is enough to supply rifles to an entire Ukrainian brigade, which vary in size but typically include a few thousand soldiers.

"I'm so super grateful": More than an hour after Rasetarinera's Monday interview with ABC7 News, she confirmed that Tesla had officially repaid the $2,000 that she was out for the purchase of the ingredients.
tl;dr After local news aired the story, Tesla has paid the pie shop $2,000, the cost of ingredients for the cancelled order.
Before the two companies can close the $35.3 billion merger, they must obtain approval from federal antitrust watchdogs who have challenged other recent deals.
The jump in distro versions, say, from Fedora 38 to Fedora 39, is not the same as the jump from Windows 10 to Windows 11. It's more like the jump from version 23H2 to 24H2.
Now, I'm sure even most Windows users among those reading will ask "wtf are 23H2 and 24H2"? The answer is that those version numbers are the Windows analogue to the "23.10" at the end of "Ubuntu 23.10". But the difference is that this distinction is invisible to Windows users.
Why?
Linux distros present these as "operating system upgrades", which makes it seem like you're moving from two different and incompatible operating systems. Windows calls them "feature updates". They're presented as a big deal in Linux, whereas on Windows, it's just an unusually large update.
This has the effect of making it seem like Linux is constantly breaking software and that you need to move to a completely different OS every six to nine months, which is completely false. While that might've been true in the past, it is increasingly true today that anything that will run on, say, Ubuntu 22.04 can also run without modification (except maybe for hardcoded version checks/repository names) on Ubuntu 23.10, and will still probably work on Ubuntu 24.04. It's not guaranteed, but neither is it on Windows, and the odds are very good either way.
I will end on the remark that for many distros, a version upgrade is implemented as nothing more than changing the repositories and then downloading the new versions of all the packages present and running a few scripts. The only relevant changes (from the user's perspective) is usually the implementation of new features and maybe a few changes to the UI. In other words, "feature update" describes it perfectly.
Still just plain rectangles with text.
Before someone asks why there isn't insane inflation from banks printing an infinite amount of money for themselves, the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar. In order to be allowed to print HKD, banks must have an equivalent amount of USD on deposit.
