Haven't been to the USA since 2016. Was just starting to warm up to the idea. Yeah... no longer.

We miss Vegas shows. Cirque du Soleil apparently has a really good one there.

As well as owning the board itself and being able to change the rules. It's a sucker's game to fight on a battlefield controlled by the enemy without overwhelming advantage.

They really need to change how market cap is calculated. Even a linear function going to zero as the last share is sold would be better. I wonder.

There is, and maybe. But reforming our system probably shouldn't be done with American input.

Costco shareholders overwhelmingly reject anti-DEI proposal in c/[email protected]

[–] rbos 13 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I wonder if Costco stock is a good buy right now. Currently $937 up from $300 in 2020. A P/E of 55, with 0.5% annual dividends paid quarterly.

With the new risk of being targeted by MAGAs for a boycott, I could see that being a problem. I don't think Costco's survival as a corporation depends on its stock. They do stock buybacks, which is going to be artificially inflating the price a bit.

If it drops significantly, I could see it being worth the pickup. Maybe I'll sell some long put options.

If and when it becomes possible to surgically modify yourself into an actual transhuman type catgirl or kitsune, and you know the furries will be all over it, there will definitely be a conservative backlash.

twin emperors as paladin tank (self.classicwow)

I'm having a bit of struggle tanking (prot paladin) Vek'linash. I'm able to hold threat on him fine, but unbalancing strike (-100 defense) rocks me pretty hard, since I keep getting scarabs on me, which eats up all my HS charges and I'm pretty sure that's pushing me into crittable range as well as crushable.

I've taken consecrate off my bars and de-runed HotR for exorcism, but I keep getting the scarabs too, and then get rocked down to 20% health.

Any advice? I've stacked as much +def as I can and am using Greater Stoneshields and armour elixirs as well as the usual suite of ALL THE CONSUMABLES.

Scrapyard Engineers is a lot of fun (steamcommunity.com)

Splitsie's Scrapyard Engineers scenario is pretty great, I've been enjoying it, and if you haven't tried it, it's worth a crack.

The concept is that you basically don't get refiners or assemblers, and only a limited number of blocks you can make. Everything else, you have to find from wreckage strewn about the landscape. The goal is to get to space.

In addition to the base modpack, I strongly recommend Improvised Experimentation. The author also recommends it, but tunes down the carry weight so that you have to use cranes more. I didn't, but a crane is still extremely useful.

Post-war Dutch music (self.thenetherlands)

Apologies for the English, my monolingualism is entirely my own fault at this point.

The tldr: my grandmother grew up during WW2 in the occupied Netherlands, and migrated to Canada in the 1950s in her 20s.

She is likely in the stages of early dementia, and one of the recommendations for dementia patients is to find music that they'd likely enjoyed as teenagers or young adults. I'd like to see if I can find something that fits that rough description. I expect I can make do with the English catalogue of classic rock and country from that time, but it'd be nice to find something a little different.

Can someone make any broad recommendations for popular Dutch music from the 1950s? Ideally, something I can find in mp3 format, but I'm willing to spend some money.
