I upvoted this quicker than I’ve upvoted anything in a while. Well done.

They’ve mentioned fraud. Is this a criminal trial? Please be a criminal trial!

I greatly prefer the blue silicone gaskets

Fair. I wasn’t criticizing you, mainly just posting that for OP. 🙂

Keep in mind that pump and dump schemes always consist of someone getting fucked over. Either you’re getting fucked over or you are fucking someone else over. I prefer to avoid those situations.

I guess to a lesser extent, it’s the core of capitalism.

I hope you’re not looking at trading crypto as a source of income. It’s not. It’s just as easy to lose money as it is to make it. I also encourage you to carefully consider tax implications.

As for the rest, it all depends on what you plan to do, what currencies you want to use, how much risk you’re comfortable with, and your expendable income.

You can create an account on of many exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, etc) that will allow you to deposit or withdraw physical currency and buy or sell many different crypto coins. I believe many of these will require you to register an ID (if you live in the US) for reporting to the IRS. Also, crypto exchanges have been hacked and people have lost money, so it’s worth considering how much you are comfortable with leaving on the exchange.

If you just need to receive crypto or care to transfer your money from an exchange to a wallet that you control, you can use a number of different wallets. There are hardware wallets that you can buy that are dedicated to storing crypto securely offline. There are also apps for your phone for multi currency wallets. However you do it, you’re going to want to make sure that you store passwords/seed phrases/etc safely and securely. If you lose your keys, you lose your currency. If someone gets access to your keys, you lose your currency.

Nerdwallet (a pretty great financial website if you’re ever looking to compare banks or credit cards) has a pretty detailed write up on the different types of wallets and how to create one. You can find it here: https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/investing/get-a-crypto-wallet

Good luck!

Also, if you’re looking to up it just a notch, these eggs are super delicious and very easy to make: https://www.seriouseats.com/ajitsuke-tamago-japanese-marinated-soft-boiled-egg-recipe

The hard part for me is keeping them around long enough to use them in ramen. Every time I walk by the fridge, I need to sample their progress.

Absolutely top notch looking though! My hat is off to you.

I don’t know, I’ve heard pretty convincing results from soundbars in a standard room. Have you tried one?

Casper is quite the dapper gentleman.

 

Found him frozen in the middle of winter and thought he was dead. Bottle fed him, and now I have a 12 year old permakitten that hops on me any time I sit down anywhere.

 

I gave her a little bit of our duck carpaccio.

That’s 76cm x 102cm for folks not using freedom units.

 
 
 

A stick.

 

So, I get that someone is trying to populate this community with posts using the lemmit.online bot. And that the vast majority of us are coming from Reddit. And that AITA is a staple community that we’re used to seeing in our feeds.

However, it seems like that just copying content into an otherwise empty community is just feeding a sterile wasteland. There is almost no engagement on the copied posts, and worse: I think it will smother any actual new content that gets posted in this wasteland of copied content. (I stand corrected, after trying to post this there I found out that only mods have priveleges to post. It’s worse than I thought, and I’ll probably just block it from my feed if it’s only a Reddit echo chamber)

What do you think, AITA?
