I get that

I wouldn’t buy diamonds or gold hoping they increase in price just as much as I wouldn’t buy bitcoin to do the same.

If you offered me 1USD in Gold, Diamond, or Bitcoin.

I would take the gold. It has the most intrinsic value.

The probably that gold hits 0USD is less than bitcoin hitting 0USD.

The only reason you’d take bitcoin is if you think that it has a higher ceiling. Intrinsic value is the floor. But that is gambling

Craps is almost a team game.

If everyone plays the Pass Line (Shooter, the person throwing the dice has to play it) then everyone wins/loses together.

Everyone at the table playing the Pass Line is pulling for the shooter to make his point.

Now imagine if you have one person out of 8 playing the Don’t Pass. The person playing Don’t Pass line is hoping the other 7 players lose so that they can win.

It’s almost equivalent to everyone at the roulette table playing black. And you walk up and say “I hope it comes red”. Like why don’t you just hope it comes black so you can win when everyone wins?

My brother takes the dice and rolls the point. Everyone places their chips. I place my chips. The dealer asks me, “Did you mean to put your chips on the Don’t Pass Line?” “Yes, that’s exactly what I meant to do.” Silence. Then my sister: “You’re an asshole.” My brother rolls again: seven. The Don’t Pass Line wins me a couple bucks.

This doesn’t make any sense

1. Once the point is established by the shooter on the come out roll, you cannot play Pass or Don’t Pass lines.

So after your brother takes the dice and rolls the point. You cannot place your chips on Pass/Don’t Pass. Maybe why dealer was confused?

2. Don’t Pass Line pays on shooter rolling 2 or 3 on come out roll. You’d lose if he rolled a 7. Pass Line wins if shooter rolls a 7 on come out roll.

Second roll was a 7?

You’d have bet Don’t Pass before your brother ever rolled the dice for a second roll 7 to win the Don’t Pass

Bets after the shooter’s first come out roll are usually Come/Don’t Come bets.

If you made a Don’t Come bet instead of a Don’t Pass (Dealer was confused from your illegal play and considered it a Don’t Come bet.) You’d still lose if a 7 were rolled second. So that doesn’t make sense.

If your first bet was after your brother rolled once. The only way you’d win with him rolling a 7 on his second roll would be to play a SEVEN bet. Which would be an even bigger dick move than Don’t Pass because it’s a one turn bet that your brother was going to roll a 7.

I guess most likely you played the don’t pass before your brother ever rolled

But if that was all we used it for, the price of gold would be a tine fraction of what it is

That’s intrinsic value.

Gold and diamonds have intrinsic value

Gold is needed for computer parts, and diamonds are used for cutting

They are more than just shiny

Their value will “never” hit 0 (Bitcoin would be worthless without gold for computers)

Yes, we could find substitutes in the future, but for the substances to not be useful somehow is so low and would have to be an apocalyptic scenario. And in an apocalypse, gold could even be worth more.

You could hack a futuristic firmware upgradable power knife, but how do you hack it to hack off fingers?

Aliens had the supernatural power to be the machines

A self driving tesla trapping people in a gas station is 100% more believable than the semi.

Something is there…

In a mmmbop it really is gone

I think the standard for squeeze bottles are 3cm. That’s what 99% of ketchup bottles I have ever seen are.

Just measured my Kraft squeeze mayo in my fridge and it’s 3cm.

I use my mini spatulas to clean my ketchup containers

Personally I don’t use enough Mayo to run out before I need to replace the bottle. If I got the same size jar it would be the same thing, I’m not scraping out the last bits of months old mayo either way. Doesn’t sound appealing.

Get yourself some long mini spatulas. Amazing for cleaning out jars.

Yeah don’t do that multiple times. One or two times isn’t going to kill you but if you did it for years and had pieces of ancient mayo in there that sounds like a health concern.

I’ll go get a new knife if I have to open up a new jar to finish something.

Rapeseed (Brassica napus subsp. napus), also known as rape and oilseed rape and canola, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family), cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of mildly toxic erucic acid.[2] The term “canola” denotes a group of rapeseed cultivars that were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and which are especially prized for use as human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world.[3][4]

Brassica napus subsp. napus is the proper name. Everything else is slang and not worth arguing about.

We call it Sunflower Oil

We call it Rapeseed Oil

Not Rape Seed Oil

Rapeseed

Would be similar to other plant names like Daisy, Rose, Iris, Poppy, Lily, Holly, Petunia

Hello, I’m ‘Moocher’ and I have an idea too

Why don’t you give me all the stuff everyone gives you and I’ll use the stuff for you

Time is mostly base 60. It goes against the metric system based 10.

It’s like saying milifoot. For 1/1000th of a foot. Doesn’t make it a metric unit.

Insulation on the dishwasher is mostly for noise and stopping moisture or heat from damaging surrounding cabinets.

The dishwasher is using new water or heating water. It is not designed to keep the same water hot for an hour plus.

The whole back of the dishwasher is a tiny piece of plastic. Not insulated at all. Some fancy ones now put a little insulation on back.

But the idea isn’t to keep heat trapped to wash dishes, but to keep heat from being released and damaging things.

24" on-center wall studs aren’t uncommon in building practices today

Most residential interior walls are 16"

If their house is single-story, then 24" would fit in a lot of local building codes.

Funny thing is cars still use right and left (atleast in US) often. Somethings driver vs passenger side. Driver vs passenger doesn’t work everywhere for every car in the world like it does with boats.

What also might be funny is driver vs passenger could be seen like port and starboard in the future if we get self driving cars. There would be no designated driver side of a car, and every side is a passenger. Just like boats nowadays can port on either side because there are no steering oars needed.

Walking on stage and physically assaulting someone? It was premeditated, he sat there and thought, then walked up and thought. It wasn’t just a heat of the moment thing.

Nothing said verbally should warrant that.

That’s why it isn’t right or left. That would be confusing.

Port is always left facing foward on the ship. It’s on the right when looking towards the rear.
