I just saw a post with an old IBM board with a bunch of 74 series chips on it and I was in the middle of looking them up but now I can't find it. Did anyone else see it?

For Immediate Release:Listen not all cats can be a part of the brain trust as it were. They all do their part... in their own ways.

For Immediate Release:I think it's #PicaTheCat with the clout.
Everyone always takes her side no matter what.

For Immediate Release:I'm a little disturbed that so many people heard the phrase "cat science" and just kept on rolling with it like this was in any way OK.

Be honest with me:Do any of them do the same thing? (eliminate the ugliest one)
This is three too many IMHO.

The robot is HIGHLY unstable and it makes horrible grinding noises.If you can’t see the wire rats nest then it doesn’t exist? is that the theory?

There is a guy on the train with a bad infection on his leg.There is a guy on the train with a bad infection on his leg. He has on a hospital band so maybe he just left the emergency room? He is on the verge of tears begging for money. But I’m wondering where he could go for real help?
He seems disoriented like maybe he shouldn’t have been put out of the hospital without someone to pick him up. A lot of people gave him some money but that’s not doing much.
Something is slowly killing him.

@silvermoon82I just realized my other response is a little misleading. I bought an ant-shaped appliqué patch and added it to the jacket. (took a lot of sewing to get all the legs down) I didn’t *make* the patch itself— it’s designed for a ball gown in black gauze with dragonflies, something from India with an art nouveau theme— but I think it also works on the ski jacket.

today’s outfit is a blast from the past the #Enron ballcap perfectly compliments my 80s ski jacket #fashionI added the ant to the jacket. It’s supposed to be a play on the famous ski brand spider.
i’m starting to come to terms with the fact that my sense of fashion can often be best described as “sarcastic.”

Loans are also a form of gambling.There are more important things in life than making money. But if you want to make money is it unfair or controversial of me to suggest that you ought to create something of value along the way?
Make a product and sell it. (Grow food, make clothes, build furniture)
Perform a service that people need (Change the bedpan, cook dinner, organize the library)Stop trying to make money when you have done nothing.

Loans are also a form of gambling.Loans are also a form of gambling. Gambling that you'll have more in the future.
"If my polymarket bet comes through I'll have no problem paying off my klarna."
Can you bet on ploymarket and pay for it "in four" yet?
People say they hate math, but their minds are swimming with numbers.

Polymarket and Kalshi are NOT gambling companies.Gambling can be a prison for some people and it hurts to think about all of the people who will be exploited in this way.
I don't think your skepticism of even "legitimate" markets is misplaced. That dream of just making the right call and getting so rich is very seductive. The emotional rush of the whole process has deep impacts on the human brain.
It exploits that good plucky part of us that always wants to "try again"
-
Polymarket and Kalshi are NOT gambling companies.Though I have to admit that claiming that having people betting somehow creates value by creating predictions of future events is very creative.
But if predictions were your product you'd be selling the predictions. The whole operation would be inverted. You'd select random people to place bets, give them play money and keep the results secret to sell.
But no one cares. It's just gambling and people will get hurt because of it.
-
Polymarket and Kalshi are NOT gambling companies.There is a reason people associate gambling with some guy who comes and breaks your legs for not paying your debt. It's bottom feeder stuff, you sell a bet or you make loans when you have nothing of real value to offer the world. And people latch on to all of these desperate dreams and end up murderously angry at each other.
We KNOW this is how it works.
Putting it in an app with a cute little chart and calling it a "prediction market" won't change that one bit.
-
Polymarket and Kalshi are NOT gambling companies.It is important that gambling is limited to narrow spheres such as lotteries and maybe horse races. Even then you get cheating and corruption.
It's not good for predicting the future because as soon as people think this is true you get manipulation. Then people try to ride the manipulation to make money.
For the love of God go make a real product and sell it like normal capitalists. Stop trying to milk someone's uncle's gambling addiction to make a quick buck.
-
Polymarket and Kalshi are NOT gambling companies.Eventually there is enough money in the market that manipulating the results becomes too lucrative to avoid.
This is why even though this "idea" was proposed 30 years ago very few people were biting. We have entered a regulation-free space suddenly where we may learn why these things are a terrible idea.
But, people have known this for thousands of years. It's why gambling is "a sin" -- it produces nothing and only incentivizes lying and cheating.

Polymarket and Kalshi are NOT gambling companies.This "prediction market" rebranding of gambling is Thirty Years Old. They were talking about this when I was in college.
"Since people have to bet money the predictions of these markets are more accurate than polls."
This statement can be true... for a time. It's true as long as only a small number of people are paying attention to the markets. As the profile of the markets grows their predictive ability tanks and perverse feedback loops are created.
