Is that like a cryocurrency?

I’m getting chills just thinking about it.

My understanding based on watching too many science communicators videos on YouTube is that such tiny black holes would evaporate quickly before causing harm that humans could appreciate. However, this would provide experimental evidence of Hawkings theory.

So in the OP’s original timeline there is a flexible CI pipeline tool named Adolph. Huh…

None of the answers I’ve read so far actually answer your question with basic facts.

When you invest then you are buying a tangible financial instrument: a share of a company or a treasury bill or a municipal bond and so on. There is the expectation that over time, the value of your financial instrument will increase in value but this is not guaranteed. The lack of guarantee is the risk. Some instruments are riskier than others. The level of risk does not define gambling.

When you walk into a casino and bet money on roulette, what are you buying? You are buying nothing more than a fleeting chance at winning more money. It is entertainment by thrill. There is no tangible thing that you own from gambling.

Investing is one way that companies can raise capital to expand their business. Business expansion can lead to greater employment and higher standard of living. For investing to work as an economic system there must be liquidity. Someone must be willing to buy your financial instrument later at a higher price or some town must still be collecting taxes to pay back your bond years later.

Hopefully you can see now why investing is encouraged and supported in society and gambling is either illegal or merely tolerated.

When I was a kid the show turned me off at first because the characters accents. Every adult in real life around me that had a country accent was an asshole that was mean to me for no reason.

You know how in adventure video games the side quests are always more interesting and poignant than the main world-ender quest? I think Star Wars is gonna be like that now. Some weird episode in some cartoon series written by some guest scifi writer is gonna contain the best story.

Thank you! I look for more examples like this ever since someone turned down agave nectar because it wasn’t natural. I was trying to explain how agave nectar was what I always expect honey to be like (pours easy, lighter flavor).

First, honey isn’t natural either. It’s made by an alien hive mind. A human collecting a plants nectar is way more natural. But any way, here is my contribution:

Perhaps you’d like shots of this 100% all-natural rattlesnake venom? Not man-made at all.

Serious question. Why have a combination of operating system and email system that even allows this problem to exist at all?

It’s like, what if stepping on a crack really did break your mother’s back? Wouldn’t we just build seamless sidewalks instead of constantly reminding every sidewalk user to not step on all the cracks everywhere?

We had our Beer Hall Putsch, now I’m waiting for our Reichstag Fire.

And what the billionaire Trump backers don’t realize is that they will be the target of our Night of Long Knives.The puppets of billionaires do not aim to remain so.

JFC, I’m old, and this new use of the word throws me for a loop because everyone writes like I’m supposed to already know what it means .

This will always be my RCS: https://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/

You offer an interesting vintage, but I’m going to have to resonate with you. Your ideas are just too methodology.
