@NikTek For me it’s the problem that 1. I hate the touch pad stuff on all of steams products, don’t like it on steam deck and I prob won’t like it here 2. I play pc off and on, it’s not my full time gaming spot so why would I use this over my xbox or ps controller I already own 🤷🏻♂️

> DualSense Edge costs $199 and comes with potentiometer-based analog sticks that are prone to stick drift (an analog module alone costs $19 when its time to replace them)
> Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is on sale and currently costs $157. It comes with the same type of analog sticks
The Steam Controller comes with haptic dual trackpads and drift-resistant TMR magnetic joysticks, yet some people seem to call Steam crazy for pricing it at $99.
I never expected this controller to cost anywhere near in the range of $60 to $70.
Although $100 isn’t cheap, what you’re getting here is a controller that is going to last much longer than any of these other ones.

@NavyStrang @SteveJabs @Hurricane_Six Try abetterrouteplanner.com, you can similarly planned charges are not to 100%.

@SteveJabs @Hurricane_Six The arrival percentages are 10, 18, 10... those are very much full charges.

Miami to Nashville is a 13 hour drive with no stops.
It's a 2.5 hour flight that costs less than $300 (these are round trip prices over the next 2 months).
You have to stop to charge your Tesla 6 times, with an average of 25 minutes per stop. The trip total is 15.5 hours if all goes well and the charging cost is 3x the flight cost.
You still have to supervise an autonomous car and that's not an easy task over 15 hours. It should be a 2 day trip.

Yesterday I drove my @tesla 900 miles on FSD from Miami to Nashville and I realized it’s genuinely the better option. I fly that route 2 to 3 times a month. Flights are never under $400. Most times $600. Sometimes $800. Add Uber to and from both airports, or parking garage fees. Then factor in the delays, the cancellations, the security theater, the chaos, the guy next to you who hasn’t met deodorant yet. On the other hand: I pack healthy snacks, press one button, and the car just goes. I took calls. Replied to emails. FaceTimed my family. Ate without pulling over. Did everything I normally do on a travel day, except none of the stuff that makes travel days miserable. My biggest concern going in was range and charging. Here’s what actually happened: My bladder needed one extra stop the car didn’t even suggest. Most charging stops were under five minutes. Total cost for the whole trip was less than just the uber to the airport. And this was the base model Y. Now I’m thinking I should get something comfier and just make this the default.

Hey @jack amd @milessuter I've been running around getting merchants onboard with their bitcoin and it occurs to me for newbs they see this.... and say I got 2k Bitcoin?!?! So I thought to myself they don't even understand sars yet BUT much like dollars and cents its not hard...we traditionally place the $symbol the same way BEFORE the number and cents symbol after. How about if its less than 0.001 bitcoin we just use a small letter b AFTER to show small payments (like cents) and if over 0.001 it can show as now with big B before?? Something like that? Maybe?

@chrisbegley @dengeplus He was probably up all night thinking about chess.

@dengeplus That annoying shit aside..
This dude plays chess for a living.. why does he always look so disheveled like he’s been up all night trying to solve some mathematical equation

@RonSwanonson @Square @CashApp It's starting to roll out today. I imagine the people who are included in the rollout will appear in the map when it happens.
English
Hey @Square, now that we can pay with bitcoin at every terminal at the buyers discretion, can we just have a map of all the square terminals so that we know who in theory could accept bitcoin?
I love the @cashapp shows merchants that have the bitcoin option turned on, but now they don’t have to have it turned on…
Which is so freaking cool by the way guys… Doing amazing work!

@Voltage_BTC @HodlMcGoo @Square Square is converting it, and they have the tax implication. Merchants are just receiving USD (unless they change the setting from the default).
English
Is this not accurate? Accepting Bitcoin (BTC) and converting it to USD triggers tax implications because the IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, not currency. You must report both the initial business income (fair market value at receipt) and any capital gains/losses incurred if the BTC value changes before you convert it to USD
English
Automatically enabled bitcoin payments are rolling out to eligible U.S. Square sellers.
Start accepting bitcoin that instantly converts to cash at checkout, with no additional setup.
→ 0% processing fees through 2026
→ Near-instant settlement
→ No need to hold bitcoin

@Square You should also prepare merchants for the tax implications that they will have to navigate. I don't know why nobody is talking about it.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: It raises the question. It doesn’t beg the question. Begging the question is a specific logical fallacy, not a turn of phrase. I am begging everyone to stop misusing it. TYFYATTM!

The only argument Daylight Disaster Time proponents give is that they like it better. They have no argument against the science, the intra time zone data, the circadian rhythm arguments - none at all. Instead they give the same argument that people who like their food and their lifestyle give.
"I just like it so leave me alone."
Still waiting for a structured scientific argument to counter permanent standard time (like in Arizona).

Reminder: Daylight Savings Time starts tomorrow. Thankfully, Arizona does not observe DST, so the rest of you all have fun with that.

Bitcoin continues to prove to be an excellent example of the phrase "I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you."

Poor, poor, George W. Bush. His entire legacy is being removed piece by piece.
• Most incompetent President - gone.
• Worst war - gone.
• Most unpopular President - gone.
• President most likely to favor the wealthy - gone.
• President with the worst economic plan - gone.
