The Earthbound run is not using RNG manipulation. It'll be interesting to see how the runner works things out on the fly.

Yup, last time they did it with RNG manipulation they limited the names to 1 character long. Didn't stop them from taking donations for it!

How?

In a fit of laziness/desperation, I always slap cheese inbetween two slices of buttered bread and microwave it for... microwaved cheese bread with goopy butter.

Wow, and I thought I used to be bad for using a George Foreman for grilled cheese.

Oh, well they only announced the setup block 4 DS Kiln Skip run after Mario Relay wrapped up. So I guess that makes sense.

I mean Notch donates every event and he hasn't always gotten that reaction I'm pretty sure.

Just go to his Twitter and you'll get the picture pretty quick. Dude's gotten more and more nuts (or at least acts like it).

I don't think enough people abuse those leaderboards in such a way to necessitate a sitewide rule like that. I could see scenarios where accomplished speedrunners could have wildly varying times, like someone just discovering a new skip that will end up justifying a separate category, but there isn't one yet.

nono, i know shorts. investment ain't a field i'm ignorant on and i'm pretty close to a guy who's done this for a living for 30+ years, loving shorts.

the market just has had a rocket strapped to its back since Trump won and there's no end in sight. investors who were playing shorts got creamed months ago, any new guy doing it is hoping he doesn't get fucked like they did too. certainly, if you're zeroed in on a company it may be something you can work with (this is me) but picking the losers has been incredibly painful because while you might get one, three others just went up 5%.

Ah. Misunderstood your level of specificity there.

anybody who's been shorting stocks has gone bankrupt.
i mean somebody will win that eventually once the bubble pops.

but this bubble is near impossible to predict.

It doesn't take a company full on collapsing to make money on a short sale, despite that always being the context in fiction.

A short sale is essentially a short term loan equivalent to the amount you would make from the sale of stock in a company if you had it. Like a loan and unlike a normal stock, you have to pay interest on it. You just need it to drop enough in the limited time you have it to cover that interest to make some money of off it.

I mean it's a gamble for sure (as is the market in general) but it doesn't take a full bubble collapse for a particular company to temporarily lose value. For example, if you had shorted Tesla this week you'd have made money, but Tesla isn't going to fold anytime soon.

Holy shit. Republicans are buying stocks to profit from their plan to kill hundreds of thousands of poor Americans. https://t.co/WW7iVkLjAI https://t.co/7SN2t4wvUs

Why isn't this insider trading

The vote was public knowledge, not really 'insider'.

It's closer to shorting stocks.

i think

Negative.

When you Google blackmail, both definitions involve a demand for money.

It's entirely possible that CNN literally didn't commit blackmail if for no other reason than they didn't demand any money.

Boom. Roasted.

Extortion is for money. Blackmail is for a demand of some sort. Could be money, could not be.

Edit: Nevermind my interpretation, but it's not necessarily specifically money, though it'd make it much more cut and dry when you can quantify it, probably.

Wang, let's put it this way.

Pretend that there is no negative context to anything the guy ever posted in his life. Pretend that what Trump retweeted was just some cat picture or something equally innocuous. (Edit: Actually, hell, you probably don't even have to change the original retweet.) You could play out the events from there on with a guy who just freaks out at the concept of being a public figure IRL after a news organization reached him for comment and you wouldn't have shit to say on this.

I'd take issue with that since there were plotlines he had no immediate knowledge of going on, most especially Phoenix Person.

Also he kept it very short

prince_leaf also kept his blindfolded thing in his the flinstones: the surprise at dinosaur peak run at SGDQ '16 very short and he still failed.

wasn't entirely his fault, though - the donation reader started reading a donation when he was doing it, which kinda sucks when you're relying on audio cues. nice that this time the audience AND the donation reader were able to keep quiet for once.

Was that the one where the runner just pulled a blindfold out of nowhere without telling anyone in advance? Because that guy was absolutely at fault.

MGS4 has a legit argument, which sort of retroactively gives an argument to 1 and 2 that doesn't exist within their own context.

I agree with you on Liquid and Solidus, but some people will make that case.

It's something you hear in fiction like House of Cards quite often, but usually when there isn't a major character associated with the country. With China they're in talks with China, whereas with Russia they're in talks with Petrov.

I don't really view buff items in Soulsborne games as off limits, even though I rarely use them (often because I'll spec for a casting buff). I share your items viewpoint more for stuff like Holy Water in DMC.

I told you all from the start. I support a full repeal. I did not like the replacement ideas. I support the preexisting condition cause of you keep continuous coverage. And I support a limited staying on parents insurance while in higher education.

My stance has never wavered.

How about when they used to tag unborn children diagnosed with genetic diseases as a pre-existing conditions? Guess they shouldn't have lapsed in coverage either, stupid fetuses.

It has the same time limit for him. But since he has infinite bullets and it's a trivial cast time, he'll have it on 90% of the time.

I don't get how that works unless you literally buy a store out and set up shop right beside it. They aren't going to stay good.

Still people are pretty stupid. "Here, buy this McDonald's burger I definitely didn't rub my junk on for $10!"

If you want to argue that Serena is the most accomplished or most dominant tennis player relative to her competition, that's an argument that can be made. It just depends on how you define "best," I guess. If it's "could beat anybody ever," then Serena's not in the discussion.

I mean it's like saying that the Uconn womens basketball team is the "greatest basketball team ever" because they won 100 games in a row over the course of 3 years or whatever it was. I mean okay, maybe they are the most dominant relative to their competition, but they'd still get smoked by any Division 2 mens team.

I think you may be overestimating how good men's college basketball is top to bottom. Sure, your major conferences would crush UConn women's, but it's possible you don't even have to get out of mid-majors to find a men's team they could beat.

I highly doubt this

Mind you, I'm talking a really, really bad year for an already low tier mid-major team. It wouldn't be a typical scenario.

But you start getting to trash among the minor conferences that give us our 16 seeds every year and that's a different story.
