Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
another batch of sauerkraut! when making this, be sure to crush-massage the cabbage hard a few times. i also press it with a kettlebell in between massage sessions. that way there will be plenty of juice for the flesh to float in.

Wrote a fierce email to my boss:
Hihi,
  1. Quotation was chosen because I thought it would be a good way to remind the students of the concept of quotation marks. I know we don’t teach it for capitalisation of proper nouns, but the kiddos should be familiar with it when they capitalise songs or include dialogue in their essays.
  2. Forgettable was chosen because I’m confident that some teams would miss out on the doubling the consonant rule. As for why it is not unforgettable, that’s because I included unbelievable as one of the other 9 words, so I guess my intention was to make forgettable a lower-hanging fruit than unbelievable.
I understand the logic of making the Finals words more difficult than the Prelims, and I think that we need to consider the unique situation we are in. All rounds are shown live to a student population generally uninterested in spelling. Hence, I feel that the words in the later rounds cannot be significantly more difficult than those in the Prelims because we would lose audience interest as quickly as our students gobbling bento boxes.
For instance, I would have loved to use accommodating for Y3/4s but streamlining is more accessible to Y1/2s. Similarly, I was wavering between invaluable and vulnerable for Y1/2s but decided on invaluable in the end because everyone has heard of valuable. So, these were some of my considerations when I came up with the Semi-finals words.

What's with that. I was going to say something yesterday and I thought it was just an anomaly. At least today he zapped 2k sats. Yesterday he zapped 400 sats and got more than 4k in rewards. Not a bad deal. Sign me up.
reply
He left me an amusing comment, so I'm taking it as a friendly rivalry.
He's likely increasing his zapping to get even larger rewards. Or, perhaps he was just testing the system yesterday.
reply
how do the rewards even work here?

It's in the FAQ.
Basically, share and zap good content.

@Sahkaan_Wahlook has taken the crown as my favorite stacker. His pistol skills are simply unmatched. Congrats on the amazing shots!
reply
I noticed him yesterday. I also noticed that I'm getting a single sat zapped immediately. I think this is likely a bot that immediately zaps 1 sat to posts, maybe just to the regular stackers.
reply
I also got a few early zaps, 10 sats each 🤠

Nope, single sats zaps are some rookie. He just comes through and zaps a handful under-zapped things harder than average.
Algo needs a tweak or two. I don't like a many of the changes we made for MSM.
reply
Whatever he's doing, he's doing it well.
reply
What pistol skills are you talking about? But it seems like he must have decoded the algo for rewards. I see him regularly making some good strides without even bothering to comment or post anything. Strange!
reply
Wow we are all such slackers. @Undisciplined and @ek have clearly not provided as much value to SN today as this stacker, who posted a link to a YouTube video.
reply
We need to be quicker on the draw.
reply
What's the draw? I'm getting anxious now?
reply
That's old west slang. We need to zap new posts more quickly, if we want to take this guy down.
reply
So, can zapping a post earlier may lead to top 5 on the leaderboard! That's weird!
reply
You get more rewards for zapping early. From an incentive standpoint, you need that to keep people from just waiting to see which posts are top posts before zapping them.
Well, include @k00b and @siggy47 as well.
reply
As I said many times... the leaderboard is rigged. Don't bother with it anymore.

you can use domain redirect too

yes but we don't consider domain redirects malicious. we just wanted to avoid that anyone can pretend that a link is another link.

Rule of Law:

There is no rule of law. As mentioned previously, law is about balance and consent. For you to apply or administer law on to someone they must give consent, this is either through contract or choice by violating your rights.
For example: If someone chooses to steal from you, they have now consented for you to apply your law to them.
Simply put Law applies in violation of a person’s right, or Law bound within a contract.
The term “Rule of Law” comes from Ancient Rome, where a ruler would decree the law, so if you accept this term you also accept a higher authority to rule over you.

Don't even ask the question. The answer is yes, it's priced in. Think Amazon will beat the next earnings? That's already been priced in. You work at the drive thru for Mickey D's and found out that the burgers are made of human meat? Priced in. You think insiders don't already know that? The market is an all powerful, all encompassing being that knows the very inner workings of your subconscious before you were even born. Your very existence was priced in decades ago when the market was valuing Standard Oil's expected future earnings based on population growth that would lead to your birth, what age you would get a car, how many times you would drive your car every week, how many times you take the bus/train, etc. Anything you can think of has already been priced in, even the things you aren't thinking of. You have no original thoughts. Your consciousness is just an illusion, a product of the omniscent market. Free will is a myth. The market sees all, knows all and will be there from the beginning of time until the end of the universe (the market has already priced in the heat death of the universe). So please, before you make a post asking whether AAPL has priced in earpods 11 sales or whatever, know that it has already been priced in and don't ask such a dumb fucking question again.

Almost went back on my word about using a 0% interest credit card to keep myself from selling a few sats to pay off some dollar liabilities. But I stuck to my guns and unloaded some stock positions instead. I figured hey these companies will be here again for me to own even at a higher price and that’s okay. Besides most of these companies will probably dilute me anyway but at least with bitcoin I WILL NOT BE DEBASED.

People who make mistakes are great because those are the people actually doing something.
Specially if you are doing something new and different, that's how you grow.
Most people keep doing the same thing forever, and they never make a mistake. But the price for that is that they don't get to live their lives.
