@ProfoundMatter @Pirat_Nation what exactly do you consider a “fair deal” on something that’s used. They sell new stuff they’re doing you a favor by giving you somewhere to offload old stuff. there are other options but gamestop is instant. And the 13-15% is the service fee on ebay transactions the buyer takes

@OpticalCinema @Pirat_Nation What makes you think GameStop will be any better if they can't even give a fair deal on used games and console items??? Also is 15% a number you made up or something they actually took from you?
English

GameStop is getting ready to offer to buy eBay.
GameStop has about 9 billion dollars in cash and is worth around 11 billion dollars right now.
The company wants to grow way past video games and into big online shopping.
CEO Ryan Cohen hopes to build it into a 100 billion dollar company.
eBay shares rose more than 10% after the market closed.
GameStop shares went up about 5%.

@ProfoundMatter @Pirat_Nation meanwhile ebay takes almost 15% of your sales. but yeah… greed..
English

@Pirat_Nation I hope not. It's been fine without it and GameStop has been known for being greedy.

@Delinquenceddjr @BlackJack_calls didn’t the meowth just sell for over 1k?

@_MagaPool @PokemonRestocks well it’s gone already so don’t worry

@PokemonRestocks Midnight Target drops is my pornhub but I’m skipping this

@KacproNick @pokepullzhq I think you’re underestimating how easy it would be to sell this card.
English

@OpticalCinema @pokepullzhq The s&p is liquid for that amount of money though. I could sell my entire 401k right now if I want, instantly, at no loss
English

This makes me think….the fact no one took care of their cards back then or even kept them is what made them super rare/expensive today.
Nowadays, everyone protects their modern cards by grading, binders, toploaders, etc
What will modern cards look like in 20 years 🤔

Pokémon: Chaos Rising Preorders are now open!
Just like with prior sets, if you want it at MSRP we will be doing Drops!
In the meantime, everything is priced below market rates.

@KacproNick @pokepullzhq if price continues to rise it will have no issue being liquid. this is like telling someone not to invest into the S&P because it’s not liquid
English

@OpticalCinema @pokepullzhq Yeah maybe... But that doesn't change liquidity
English

@KacproNick @pokepullzhq unfortunately that’s one of those ones that will only go up.
English

@pokepullzhq I know somebody holding over 200 PSA 10 van goghs... I feel like when him and the other thousands of people holding them want to sell in 5-20 years they're gonna learn a lesson about liquidity

I love how the russos made spider-man 1000x stronger in their movies than he was in his own

A plain M&M (milk chocolate) is a small, dense, oblate spheroid-shaped candy—roughly lentil-like, flattened on two sides. Typical specs are:
•Mass: about 0.9 grams (0.0009 kg).56
•Dimensions: long diameter (widest face) around 1.3–1.4 cm, short “thickness” around 0.5–0.7 cm.76
Terminal velocity occurs when air drag equals the object’s weight (mg), so net force and acceleration drop to zero. For quadratic drag (valid at the speeds involved here), the formula is:
[ v_t = \sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho A C_d}} ]
where:
•( m ) = mass,
•( g ) ≈ 9.81 m/s²,
•( \rho ) ≈ 1.225 kg/m³ (air density at sea level),
•( A ) = projected area (depends on orientation; M&Ms tumble, but we can approximate using the larger face or an average),
•( C_d ) = drag coefficient (typically 0.5–1.2 for this shape/orientation; oblate spheroids and disk-like objects are in this range, higher than a smooth sphere’s ~0.47 due to shape and tumbling).
Using reasonable values (projected area ~1.5 × 10⁻⁴ m² for the broad face, ( C_d ) ≈ 0.8), ( v_t ) comes out around 10–15 m/s (~22–34 mph). This is comparable to small, dense objects like pennies or coins (whose terminal velocities are often cited in the 10–20+ m/s range depending on tumbling).49
How far to reach it?
Unlike linear drag (e.g., low-speed Stokes’ law), quadratic drag means velocity approaches ( v_t ) asymptotically—it gets arbitrarily close but never quite reaches it in finite time/distance. We therefore talk about the distance to reach, say, 95% or 99% of ( v_t ).
The exact solution for velocity under quadratic drag (starting from rest) is:
[ v(t) = v_t \tanh\left(\frac{g t}{v_t}\right) ]
Integrating for distance ( x ):
[ x(t) = \frac{v_t^2}{g} \ln\left(\cosh\left(\frac{g t}{v_t}\right)\right) ]
A characteristic distance scale is ( v_t^2 / g ) (~10–20 meters here). To reach ~95% of ( v_t ), you need roughly 1–2× this scale; for ~99%, more like 2–3× (or ~10–30+ meters depending on exact parameters).
Numerical estimates with the values above put the distance to ~95% of terminal velocity at roughly 10–15 meters, and to ~99% at 20–30 meters (or a bit more if we account for tumbling increasing effective drag). In practice, because M&Ms are tiny and dense, they accelerate quickly at first and get very close to terminal velocity well within the height of a tall building or a drop from a few stories.
For comparison:
•Humans need hundreds of meters (~450 m for ~99% in belly-to-earth position) because of much higher mass-to-area ratio.14
•Very light or high-drag objects (e.g., feathers) reach terminal velocity almost immediately.
•Coins/pennies reach theirs in tens of feet/meters.49
The M&M behaves more like a small, tumbling dense object than a skydiver. Real-world factors like orientation changes, slight variations in shape/mass, and air currents add some uncertainty, but the order of magnitude is tens of meters at most—not hundreds.
If dropped from much higher (e.g., a skyscraper), it would be falling at essentially constant terminal velocity for most of the descent. (Don’t actually drop them from heights onto people/animals, though—the candy shell might crack, and it’s litter!)
95% of terminal velocity in 10 to 15m; just goes to prove Canadians are obnoxious and pompous.

@leyeConnect i haven’t had good quality since i upgraded . 12 pro max to 16 pro max. Feels like a stupid ass upgrade and the dynamic island is infuriating
