Insane difference between thunderbolt vs competitors.

Clearly we are paying for quality here, the question is LTV

how quickly does the thunderbolt break

hahahaah literally this.

Ever since I started running my own business, I found it funny that I needed to rephrase my services in order to attract the right client.

Marketing is the direct opposite of engineering, imo.

GME FUD in HN seems pretty rare. A lot of talk about GME being a 'cult' and that the hedge funds 'closed' their position. Yet the stock is extremely volatile with little to no volume. Seems weird to me but okay
Re:In Argentina, inflation is a way of life on Tuesday February 01, 2022 @11:41AM (#30165140)
I'm Hispanic and born in Cuba. So I know a lot about other Hispanics.. also wasn't trying to be "racist". Never mentioned Blacks, whites or mixed. Another important note, I lived in Miami basically my whole life. The diversity in Miami is like no other place. So calm down before you jump to conclusions about "shamelessly being racist" or whatever.. you can't be racist against your own culture lol.. at most you're being prejudice against yourself/your culture.
Re:In Argentina, inflation is a way of life on Thursday January 27, 2022 @04:10PM (#30106734)
This is a Hispanic country, so the traditional morals and ideologies of regular people are not the same. I come from a hispanic country and lived in Miami almost my whole life. (take a guess where I'm from lol).. Basically what I'm trying to convey is that hispanics are hustlers, almost by nature. Due to living in relatively poor countries and forced to figure out new ways to survive. Not saying that Argentina is so terrible that you need to be hustling this hard, but sometimes people want a bit more. For example, my friend which was born in Argentina recently went to visit and explained to me how prices for goods that come from the U.S. are extremely expensive but rent+food is extremely affordable. Just from that little bit of detail alone, I'm guessing anyone who is hustling for more money. Is doing it because they want to live a more 'luxurious' life style. Less humble maybe?

Thanks a lot for the explanation! I greatly appreciate you taking the time to break things down for me.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain why it wouldn't stop inflation! Thanks a lot!

I would love to understand why the fed hasn't increased interest rates to counter the rapid increase of inflation..?

I remember learning some basic economics in 2019 about how the U.S. learned a valuable lesson from 2008. How they will never make the same mistakes of letting inflation go unchecked because they have tools to work against it. Yet inflation has rapidly scaled to 6.8% (reported). Also, I am keeping supply chain demand in mind but I don't think it excuses the fed's decision to not immediately start curbing high inflation rates. My guess is that people with money are profiting and want to continue profiting until it is no longer sustainable.

Re:Squats can boost brain activity [video] on Friday September 10, 2021 @09:50AM (#28481535)
What's been working for me is a series of exercises and stretches. I think what's working is the actual exercise rather than the stretch. I'll use bands while performing leg lateral raises and also lifting my knee to my chest (with bands as well). This way I'm actually forced to use my hip flexor muscles. Funny enough from my experience tight hip flexors are usually weak hip flexors that caused other parts of your body to compensate, which then causes you pain. Stretch wise, I do the standard pigeon pose, piriformis stretch, and butterfly stretch.

in terms of "increasing brain function", I 100% agree with that amphetamine.. lol
Re:Squats can boost brain activity [video] on Friday September 10, 2021 @08:36AM (#28480630)
Sounds like you fixed your hip flexors, because thats been my issue lately. Besides having some back problems from sports + lifting, getting strength back in my hip flexors has been relieving my backpain the most. I kinda did the same thing with Mark Rippetoe's starting strength / guides on lifts. Which led me into powerlifting for maybe 1 year. Honestly its all great but I ultimately agree that yoga should be a fundamental for people. I've done MMA for years and moved into pure BJJ now, doing yoga and sports is a very underestimated benefit.

I left comcast for at&t fiber, paying $60/month for 1year. If I learned anything since then is to make sure you attempt to leave and they will start calling you with better offers..all of a sudden lol

RH is basically shit. I immediately transferred out of RH during the whole GME craze when they froze trading
I've noticed that the U.S. government usually only fixes issues in a short term mindset.. Same way they only gave stimulus checks and unemployment for a temporary time. I wish they would start working on long term solutions instead.
I literally LOL'd. Thank you and never stop being this way
and/or being able to grow a beard also helps. I recommend strength training or powerlifting. I honestly think you can squeeze out some really good noobie gains from doing a basic strength program or powerlifting program. Then swap out to whatever you want.

I also like to recommend BJJ / MMA to people, I love the sport and its also helpful knowing how to defend yourself.

Re:Facebook to ban white nationalist content on Wednesday March 27, 2019 @02:00PM (#19503875)
I'm seeing comments mainly focusing on "free speech" and that no company or monopoly should control it. I think we are stemming away from the actual GOOD that comes from banning such content. Why are we allowing people who influence others to do harmful things to minorities? Why should we give people with harmful ideas a platform to begin with? If they feel like they need to be heard, sure let them develop their own platform and spread it among themselves. Rather than influence young people who don't know any better. That's just my opinion on the matter.
