Yes they do good build quality. Tesla had some issues early on as I had that. Conflating issues that occurred early on that are resolved now is not valid.
I also hate Elon so there is that too. My feelings about all that and what shit Tesla pulled are clear. That said I’m not going to invent problems that don’t exist. That’s what is the problem with this discourse it’s like nobody seems to think engineering can improve.
There’s only one issue left that is not resolved long term on my car and thats the window regulators. The end.
Yes I fix my own too look through my posts. Not like I didn’t pull out the entire fucking drive train a few months ago. Should trust the people who work on them that own them.

So why did I build my own AI in C?
Because everything else is shit.
Was it hard? Well what do you think.
Does it work? Sure I developed it on a 2010 westmere. Why? Because it was easier.
Whats the plan? Well that’s the fun part. I’m tired of the half ass solutions. Everyone I know hates the way AI behaves. What they hate? I chose to solve.
Have I solved it? Yes by mistake. It was an accident to figure out how to make AI generate perfect code. I didn’t mean to but I had this oh my fuck moment. So to do it right I have to control it end to end.
What am I making? A machine that shits code not just for breakfast. But for lunch and dinner too.

I literally just bought 2.8 pounds of ammonium nitrate for cheap with no background check. I’d have to sort it of course to do that. No precaution, no warnings, nothing.
We only appear to resolve these problems. We don’t actually handle it. This is the problem with not having experts who know all this help write the rules. Oversight from hell happens.

Yes, being ag man. I used ammonium nitrate for fertilizing my 408 fruit trees. It’s not too hard to get clearance. But yeah you don’t want to mess with that. However I did discover I can buy ammonium nitrate that I could easily sort. 3D print a sorter and I could remove all but the prilled ammonium nitrate.
28% of 10lb is difficult but a determined person could still make a mess. We didn’t close all the loopholes. It’s very annoying to me actually.

>> what even happened to all those serial killers?
I ask this all the time, same with all the bombers.
In the last 2 years I’ve got my answer on the bombers. They are there, just the economy was good enough to keep them in line. As the economy falters we likely will see this again. That’s my theory, 2008 wasn’t bad enough nor was 2001. The 80’s hellmode inflation busting really was at odds with mental stability.
In that regard maybe that index the fed should use.

Dude just google it, this research is showing multitudes of issues from seeds sinking failing to germinate, failing transplants, early emergence of reproduction.
Stop saying you researched when you have no fucking clue what I’m talking about. Obviously you have a huge hole in your knowledge regarding hemp.
But weed bro, I’ve grown weed doesn’t cut it. My cannabis growth parameters I did in Washington State. That breaks all the rules you postulate.
This is the problem with the cannabis and hemp proponents. Realistic expectations are never a part of the conversation. It’s just hemp is fine it’s great and everything that is negative is wrong. Well sorry plants got positive and negative attributes. You can’t win them all.

That does not matter, the point is there are large issues with the growth zone of hemp. It restricts the total acreage available.

Ok so @npub1mf9…40lf it’s just stick in ground and grow. There’s a huge issue with hemp growing in soils. It’s not the perfect plant this is made out to be. AG research I follow translation here.
But yeah like the seeds can just sink, once they sink they fail to germinate. If you do this you’ll end up with catastrophic results. Entire lost crop.
Hemp is cool but really the issues of growing it at scale are not pretty. This is talking the commercial uses you mentioned. However considering before we ever decided to plant hemp? The ag land was already used. So we have to consume food to grow hemp.
Cannabis on the other hand does not require near the space. Humans no matter who they are can only smoke or eat so much. So there’s a limited size market for it.

This is true, that we need to reduce the tax code. Simplify it and and remove all the loopholes. Just do it already. If companies can’t survive on the new rules? New ones will come up in their place. This is not hard.

2025-03-05 17:15:18 UTC

Yeah I mean it seems excessive but in reality the costs covered were not that high. The other costs were doing loans to companies from banks so credit didn’t stall. The liquidity crunch means there’s not enough money in the system. So that was loaned. The loans created more loans that created more loans. As a society of debt we really have a hard time reconciling how debt works. It’s all debt there’s no unlimited money, there’s no printer it’s all debt. Basically the government raising the debt ceiling is using BNPL. So obviously taxes are critically important to cover that.
When we think of money printer though, the dollars created by the process is exactly how our system has worked for all my life. Not much is going to change this the reality is we need to be more prudent about how we do it.
I could go into a long winded explanation of how taxes matter and don’t matter and what the taxes should be ideally vs what they are. Nobody quite likes me going on about taxes as it challenges conventional wisdom. That said we are not taxed enough as a society. The tax that is hated is unequal tax. That’s what is really the core problem.

Yes Kashkari said this. Under the difficult conditions of 2008 how much was actually paid by FDIC.
It was only 380 billion in bad bank deposits. To cover all that with FDIC and get preferred stock to sell back at recovery. Like come on can’t tell me that math doesn’t check. Regardless the payment is not going to be that huge.

It went away, investment comes with risk of 100% loss.
You can’t attribute the cost of the product to the investment. That’s just lunacy if you did that. Think how much everything would cost to do the first 6000-10000 units. No one would ever invest in that. The investment is proportional to the perceived market capitalization attainable.

That’s where you are wrong, in the course of my average day. I never once hear this nonsense of speciesism. Therefore the masses do not give a shit. I don’t give a shit about this evangelical nonsense. If you instead learned about fish counts, management practices that are flawed. The basis for our fish stocks and what makes what. You’ll see gaping holes. This is far more horrifying of an end game than seeing fish killed now. Way worse, the fact is they won’t be available and the entire ecosystem will change. Therefore we must change, this has zero to do with eating them. Eating them is not the concern. What happens when they can’t reproduce is the concern. The environment degrades, the habitat changes to diatoms, Cyanobacteria and algae. That turns everything neurotoxic or worse.
Have some real perspective of what’s happening. In fact you should encourage them to eat the fish as this goes. Then watch them get paralytic effects. What better way to teach people than with loss of mobility or even a prolapsed rectum or two?

This is called video of fish observing them in a natural habitat. I’ve been an ocean conservationist for longer than you can imagine. The only viable option to stop terminal decline is end fishing. That removes 28% of the planets food. Regardless of your feelings on the matter it’s going to happen now or later. That’s the calculus based on the load we place.
You seem to think that telling people what to do in a matter of cruelty will have any effect. Let’s be real, ordained reality isn’t enough what the hell makes you think anyone will listen to what you say?
I even documented 1600 videos of a ecosystem collapse that featured 78 species of fish I could document over 3 months. Guess what? No one cared.
Find a better thing to argue on. There won’t be any fish mouths to impale as we ruined the water. 99.5% decline since I was a child. That’s little over 30 years. The worst damage is not done by impaling, it’s the DIN:SRP maybe fight that.

Never said the fed and mortgage are the same you implied that. I only said what historical norms of fed are. You can infer the rest by determination of what 60 percent of the loans are at way lower than the current fed rate. What the actual inflation rate is to those mortgages and more.
Maybe you need to stop implying things. I’m well aware what the fed rate is to current mortgage rates, high yield bond rates, treasury rates and even coupon rates for specific things like septic systems.
Fed sets rates and others follow in kind. It’s not exact science of course as you can see since fed started cutting rates the bonds and mortgages went up. Agreeing with my assessment that the economy is too overheated for cuts. But then again none of that matters I suppose.

2025-02-04 21:55:11 UTC

Never said you had to, I’m just asking what’s ok about today’s rates not being at rational levels? The long term average is 7% for fed. We are at 4 and change.
So what is ok about this? How is this assessing risk? Interest rates are a reflection of risk. Risk is always there regardless of market conditions. See the mortgage that went bad. From a fire, that was liquidated at about 30% of the appraised value. The unknowns and the risk is there. This is not a perfect world.
You see it printed in the news now, people on verge of default from storms or fires of randomness. What happens to the lender who had the low rate.
How many loans can you have go bad before payback at each percentage of rate. What is the rate loans go bad at nominal level. What is the rate they go insolvent at extreme events. How often do extreme events happen for the life of the loan 30 years just say.
These are hard questions I know but what is rational about today.

I am being serious here too, I’ve done 19 million is my largest first mortgage. Do you understand what LTV is then the risk involved in appraisal? What that means to the asset? When you sell at auction and how that becomes profitable at what rates to guarantee you make money?
Just asking as I made 9% through 2008. So like what about this market has any sanity since 2013 when it went off the rails. Risk has not been assessed appropriately. It’s only material to the party investing to diversify with unknowns and irrational rates.
That all said, 15% in a day is minor for the asset valuation of total BTC when you see swings far harder in the overall market. Just the market cap is bigger. Moving money from place to place.
