03:39 <PinkieShy> I need to test my xbox controller :/

03:39 <PinkieShy> I think the D-pad isn't working right.. The up arrowin settings on GTA 5 wouldn't do anything at all

03:40 <PinkieShy> If the phone in game doesn't pull up.. I'm in the market for a new controller oof

03:45 <PinkieShy> ... this is weird

03:45 <PinkieShy> The game is getting stuck on game moving forward without me pressing any buttons.. :/

03:46 <PinkieShy> oh.. I think i see the issue

05:51 <Golden> Thanks

05:57 <Schism> Huh.  This is a nice warming drink.  I'm glad I thought of it.  o3o

06:37 <PinkieShy> You know i realized yesterday that there probably won't be a rocking new year's eve.

06:38 <PinkieShy> Like in times square new york there might not be that big party where all those people show up

06:52 <Schism> Rebuy cost, 30,000 credits.  Current balance: 1.8 million.

06:58 <Schism> I have this odd suspicion that I don't have to worry too much about losing my ship.

08:09 * ConfusionRift watches Schism explode. "I think they really want you to head there." :P

08:09 <Jackie> Isn't it weird that I have Bedrock Edition on my Microsoft account

08:09 <Schism> No, I've just spent the last few hours dodging asteroid belts.

08:11 <ConfusionRift> Not really, since the Bedrock Edition login is via Microsoft Account. Actually, I believe both Windows and Java editions require it now.

08:12 <Jackie> ConfusionRift: I got JE around November 2018 with BE giftcode

08:13 <ConfusionRift> Same here.

08:13 <ConfusionRift> But got mine years ago, I don't remember.

08:13 <Jackie> I don't think I'll use BE that much

08:13 <Jackie> I grew up with JE

08:14 <ConfusionRift> I used both. Java for the mods, Bedrock for amped performance.

08:14 <Jackie> BE is really cheap though, $10

08:18 <ConfusionRift> Huh.

08:20 <Jackie> Why is it a pain to find amethyst geidesy

08:20 <Jackie> *geodes

08:20 <ConfusionRift> Wait, where? Both editions are now $30.

08:21 <Jackie> I've been scrounging on a cave for 3 hours and still no sign for Amethyst Geodes

08:21 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

08:21 <Jackie> I'm dumb enough to do survival on a snapshot.

12:49 <RazorSharpFang> Heard TSLA wants to join S&P 500?

12:50 <Cyan_Spark> Stock shot up $63 apiece

12:51 * Cyan_Spark nods

12:51 <Cyan_Spark> After hours, too

12:53 <RazorSharpFang> Aside from that, probably just monitoring positions. Not so sure about opening new ones, since market's already gone up recently.

12:53 *** Joins: Filly_Nightmares (Surreal_Nig@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)

12:54 <Cyan_Spark> What were your positions?

12:55 <RazorSharpFang> I mostly sell puts against underlyings, and then buy them back when they're cheaper for a profit. I make money if stock prices don't drop suddenly and stay down.

13:00 <Cyan_Spark> Ah

13:00 * Cyan_Spark nods, pretending to understand

13:00 <RazorSharpFang> It's stock options.

13:06 <Cyan_Spark> I need a new broker

13:06 <RazorSharpFang> Where abouts are you located? Brokerages are often local because of regulations and legislations.

13:08 *** Joins: uni (uni@Pony-8k4.sjj.166.202.IP)

13:08 * uni flops and blehs

13:08 <uni> kill me

13:08 <RazorSharpFang> You can't tell me what to do

13:09 <uni> today was exceedingly painful

13:09 <uni> imagine someone paid 20 times your salary lecturing you on passion

13:10 <Cyan_Spark> Within a 50-mile radius of uni!

13:10 <Cyan_Spark> uni did you pay for SAFRA

13:10 <uni> that puts you possibly in about three different countries~

13:10 <uni> nope!

13:10 <Cyan_Spark> I never did, it's a waste

13:10 <uni> I live too far from any one of them

13:10 <Cyan_Spark> A wise choice

13:10 * Cyan_Spark nods sagely

13:10 <uni> also I don't do the whole sports thing

13:11 * uni sits in front of Cyan_Spark

13:11 <uni> teach me, master

13:11 <Cyan_Spark> ...well, you can't be F

13:11 <Cyan_Spark> A/B/C/E?

13:11 <uni> I wish I was

13:11 <uni> well, earlier

13:11 <Cyan_Spark> :p

13:11 <uni> F now is just a waste

13:11 <Cyan_Spark> Fs get treated like second-class citizens

13:11 <uni> I don't really plan on staying here

13:12 <Cyan_Spark> Did you know you now have subsidized uni fees?

13:12 <uni> yep

13:13 <uni> I don't really like the style of local unis though, except maybe SUTD

13:13 <Cyan_Spark> 🎉

13:13 <Cyan_Spark> Ah, okay

13:13 <uni> oooh I can see emojis now~

13:13 <Cyan_Spark> Whatcha wanna be when you grow up?

13:13 <Cyan_Spark> I always saw myself somewhere in Engineering

13:13 <uni> me too!

13:14 <uni> don't know what kind of job I'll end up in though

13:14 <Cyan_Spark> Really? Huh. I'm enjoying myself in this uni though!

13:15 <Cyan_Spark> Do you order in much, uni?

13:15 <uni> mmmh not really

13:15 <uni> only sometimes during nights

13:15 <Cyan_Spark> I only did... once, saved me lots of money eating off the catered food

13:16 <Cyan_Spark> ...Actually I can't remember if I ever did at all

13:16 <Cyan_Spark> Maybe once or twice at the canteen, but almost always catered

13:16 <uni> *night duties

13:16 <uni> I just realised how confusing the contraction is

13:16 <Cyan_Spark> You don't get meals at night?

13:17 <Cyan_Spark> Can't imagine it'd be pleasant living off night snacks alone...

13:17 <uni> nah we do

13:17 <uni> just that y'know, cookhouse

13:18 <Cyan_Spark> It's not the best, yeah

13:18 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)

13:18 <Cyan_Spark> but it saves you a ton

13:18 <Cyan_Spark> Tip: Ketchup sauce makes things a lot more edible

13:18 <uni> haha I wish they had ketchup here

13:18 <uni> sometimes the outration doesn't even come with utensils

13:18 <Cyan_Spark> No condiments? D:

13:19 <uni> nope~

13:19 <Cyan_Spark> I thought they'd provide packets

13:19 <uni> haha cost cutting

13:19 <uni> maybe I don't know

13:19 <Cyan_Spark> Dang, that sucks

13:21 <Cyan_Spark> If you're planning on saving, though, try to open one of those fancy military saver accounts the banks have

13:22 <Cyan_Spark> I never really spent much of my allowance, and I'm kicking myself for losing out on the interest rates X3

13:27 <RazorSharpFang> What sort of interest rate would they even be able to offer when interest rates are at an all time global low?

13:28 <Cyan_Spark> Well, maybe not now

13:33 <uni> haha third party income~

13:33 <Cyan_Spark> Naw, not income

13:34 <Cyan_Spark> Just keeping pace with inflation

13:34 <uni> huh I don't actually know my account's interest rate

13:34 <uni> how terrible

13:34 <Cyan_Spark> It's probably 0.015%

13:34 <Cyan_Spark> uh

13:34 <Cyan_Spark> 0.15%

13:35 <uni> hmm okay

13:35 <Cyan_Spark> The account which you're getting your allowance deposited in, at least

13:35 <uni> yeah

13:36 <RazorSharpFang> 0.15% is definitely less than the target of inflation, which is 2% for the US

13:36 <Cyan_Spark> Indeed

13:37 <Cyan_Spark> I have solid money currently sitting at 1.5%

13:37 <Cyan_Spark> frozen? solid? crystallized?

13:37 <Cyan_Spark> I dunno, whatever it is, it's not liquid money

13:37 <RazorSharpFang> illiquid

13:37 <RazorSharpFang> Like a Term Deposit etc

13:37 <Cyan_Spark> Mhm

13:38 <RazorSharpFang> Right now, my net-liquidation-value changes on a day-to-day basis, which makes %-annual-return annoying to calculate.

13:38 <uni> hehe illiquid is such a funny looking word

13:38 <Cyan_Spark> Gaseous money

13:38 * Cyan_Spark nods

13:38 <uni> like illithid

13:40 <Cyan_Spark> uni: you're on a cycle?

13:40 <Cyan_Spark> Since you mentioned night duties

13:40 <uni> um yeah

13:40 <uni> my unit is 24 hours ops

13:40 <LunaOfTheMoonLight> helllo everyone

13:40 <Cyan_Spark> Ah, cool

13:40 <uni> heyo~

13:40 <Cyan_Spark> East?

13:41 <uni> under the shadow of the hill

13:41 <Cyan_Spark> Mike oscar whiskey?

13:42 <uni> where three arms become one, lit by the light of the stars cast upon the massing crabs

13:42 <uni> sorry I have no idea what that is~

13:42 * Cyan_Spark nods sagely

13:42 <Cyan_Spark> Me neither, actually XD

13:42 <uni> hehe

14:00 <Cyan_Spark> Bubble, bubble...

14:00 <Cyan_Spark> Will I be able to exit before it pops?

14:02 <Cyan_Spark> I'm wondering when or how inflation will actually take root

14:03 * Cyan_Spark looks up stock code "GOLD"

14:14 <RazorSharpFang> Don't be silly about it. Inflation doesn't suddenly take root unless the government spends trillions of dollars buying back government bonds.

14:18 <Cyan_Spark> Would be fun to hold an ounce of gold, though

14:19 <Cyan_Spark> It's about $2,000 at current prices

14:20 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, my position is down 0.7% premarket today

14:20 <Cyan_Spark> Which reminds me, I still wanna buy a souvenir bitcoin token

14:20 <Cyan_Spark> Like $4 excluding shipping

14:30 <Cyan_Spark> And there's the Tesla rocket

14:30 <Cyan_Spark> Opening at 460

14:30 <RazorSharpFang> Nyoom

14:30 <RazorSharpFang> I don't have enough capital to be selling puts against Tsla yet though. It's expensive.

14:31 <Cyan_Spark> Mmm

14:31 <Cyan_Spark> Markets opening red?

14:31 <RazorSharpFang> Yes. Pull-back day

14:32 <Cyan_Spark> Tesla down on 454

14:32 <RazorSharpFang> Drifting around the 454, 455 mark for me.

14:33 <RazorSharpFang> Bought back my put on Starbucks last night while I was asleep apparently. Only found out when I logged in this morning.

14:34 <Cyan_Spark> Is that... a good thing or a bad thing?

14:35 <RazorSharpFang> It's a good thing, because I bought it back for half of what I sold it for. Profit.

14:37 <Cyan_Spark> Ah

14:41 <Cyan_Spark> Market seems cyclic these days

14:41 <Cyan_Spark> One day it's bullish, the next day it's bearish

14:42 <RazorSharpFang> It will tease with predictability only to immediately throttle you when you play that way

14:42 <Cyan_Spark> Indeed

14:43 <Cyan_Spark> The mind remembers patterns better than dissonance

14:44 <RazorSharpFang> And Tsla is back up to 460

14:44 <Cyan_Spark> How curious

14:46 <Cyan_Spark> Tesla's P/E is so high

14:46 <RazorSharpFang> I guess you could say they were paying a ... premium

14:46 <Cyan_Spark> It must be running on rarified air

14:47 <Cyan_Spark> I'm guessing 30 is a typical P/E?

14:47 <RazorSharpFang> It varies by a lot.

14:47 <RazorSharpFang> Check out VISA P/E

14:47 <Cyan_Spark> 43.04

14:48 <Cyan_Spark> Does P/E determine profit targets?

14:48 <RazorSharpFang> I consider Visa and Mastercard to be overvalued myself, but perhaps I'm just a naysayer.

14:48 <Cyan_Spark> Whenever they say a company smashes or misses expectations

14:48 <Cyan_Spark> But Visa and Mastercard, they can't die, can they?

14:48 <RazorSharpFang> Presumably, unless Crypto takes off (haha)

14:49 <Cyan_Spark> What if somehow Visa found a way to get entangled with Crypto

14:49 <Cyan_Spark> Which, I suspect, they're already doing

14:50 <RazorSharpFang> Well, that would be difficult to do well. Decentralised and all.

14:50 <RazorSharpFang> Might just be a broker same as Bitfineon etc

14:50 <Cyan_Spark> https://crypto.com/en/cards.html

14:50 <Cyan_Spark> Visa

14:50 <RazorSharpFang> `Cardholders cannot load cryptocurrency onto their MCO Visa Card.`

14:51 <RazorSharpFang> The conversion is done the moment you put it on the card.

14:51 <Cyan_Spark> Aha

14:51 <Cyan_Spark> So they still hold a cash reserve

14:52 <RazorSharpFang> It is specifically merchants not taking cryptos as a form of payment that makes cryptos unviable currencies today.

14:53 <RazorSharpFang> But if Visa were to come out with a payment system that works universally across cryptos, that might be something, but market penetration would take a while.

14:53 <RazorSharpFang> And why would they if they've already got literally half the market?

15:00 <Cyan_Spark> 448.54 now

15:00 <Cyan_Spark> Tesla's re-entering the atmosphere

15:00 <RazorSharpFang> Looks like the doubters and weak-hands have left Tsla.

15:12 <Cyan_Spark> The what now?

15:13 <RazorSharpFang> The people who are weak in their convictions about Tesla.

15:16 <Cyan_Spark> But it dropped

15:16 <Cyan_Spark> Oh, so they gave up hopes of higher stock

15:17 <RazorSharpFang> It is people selling stock that drops its price.

15:17 <Cyan_Spark> Yeah

15:19 <Cyan_Spark> Well, doing nothing is also an option for me

15:19 <Cyan_Spark> Could always choose 1.X%

15:19 <Cyan_Spark> From fixed deposits

15:20 <RazorSharpFang> It is always an option, but I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing. Higher risk, because I'm young and have the time to sit if things go poorly on a trade.

15:24 <Cyan_Spark> Hard to tell whether the real recession is coming or has already passed

15:27 <RazorSharpFang> True that. I think if Donald's lawsuits are successful that might cause a market shock

15:29 <Cyan_Spark> Successful in Donald's favor?

15:30 <Cyan_Spark> And shock in which direction?

15:30 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah. My terminology is that a lawsuit is "successful" if it goes in the litigants' direction

15:32 <Cyan_Spark> What might he do? Vehemently deny stimulus out of spite?

15:32 <RazorSharpFang> Well, a lot of the stimulus was dependent on someone less... volatile being in power. Someone less Tariff-Happy

15:33 <Cyan_Spark> So you're saying if Donald's back in the game the market could nosedive

15:33 <RazorSharpFang> Sorry, meant much of the gains was ...

15:34 <RazorSharpFang> And yeah, quite possibly. Donald says he's good for business, and he's good for /American/ businesses. He hurts the multinational conglomerates.

15:35 <Cyan_Spark> The market's been ballooning despite rising unemployment and partial economic suspension

15:35 <Cyan_Spark> A curious case indeed

15:36 <Cyan_Spark> Although, it does seem that unemployment has halved since April 2020

15:36 <RazorSharpFang> Well, it's not as bad as what they were expecting.

15:36 <Cyan_Spark> Either more people are being hired, or more people are giving up on looking for jobs

15:37 <Cyan_Spark> Yet the virus continues to surge across the States

15:38 <RazorSharpFang> Virus cases surge higher. Stocks go up.

15:38 <Cyan_Spark> An unexpected correlation

15:39 <RazorSharpFang> I'm back at breakeven today. Market is strange. Must be a day that ends in `y`

15:41 <Cyan_Spark> Unfortunately I only seem to be able to stick around for the first hour of trading

15:41 <RazorSharpFang> I have to sleep before long. Market opens at 10:30 PM my time

15:42 <Cyan_Spark> Same here

15:42 <RazorSharpFang> Managed to open 3 new positions today, making the most of the red-time while it was here.

15:42 <Cyan_Spark> Do you trade locally?

15:43 <RazorSharpFang> I trade almost exclusively US stocks. I like in Australia.

15:43 <Cyan_Spark> Huh.

15:43 <Cyan_Spark> Australian stocks not interesting enough?

15:43 <RazorSharpFang> There's not that much open interest for options trading. Volume is limited.

15:44 <Cyan_Spark> I see

15:44 <Cyan_Spark> Well, time to wind down for bed. I wonder what I'll wake up to

21:50 * Dappled grumbles and leans against Ali. Found out how to trigger the Mystery Gifts to spawn in Gen 4/5 pokemon, but unhelpfullly the gen 4 stuff requires older unsecured network infastructure I don't have access to anymore. Trying for a work around.

21:51 * Ali pat pats Dappled

21:51 * Dappled wants to be able to generate all those mythical pokemon and since the date it shows them recieved is based on the devices date, you can make them basically identical to the original event..

21:52 <Dappled> Like I could make Shaymins if I could just get it to work with the gen 4 games since apparently it didn't release in 5.

21:53 <Ali> I love how I have more options in Sword with the DLC

21:53 <Ali> Yet I'm still having the same problems T.T

21:53 * Dappled 's sorry to hear that.

21:53 * Dappled hugs the Ali.

21:53 <Ali> Just get stuck where I think I've got a few good mons

21:54 <Ali> But then you find out they have awful movepools or the TR you want just won't spawn.

21:54 <Dappled> TR?

21:57 <Ali> Technical Records

21:57 <Dappled> Ah.

21:58 <Ali> You know, the ones that they moved all the good moves to

21:59 * Dappled guesses? Didn't really use them. Just used level up movesets.

22:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Five Retro Funko My Little Pony Figures Now on Amazon [ https://tinyurl.com/yxsvpoue ]

22:09 * Dappled thinks he got it. He might be able to start generating those mythical pokemon from Gen 4 as well as 5.

22:13 * Ali steals oak's letter from Dappled

22:14 <Dappled> Nuuuu

22:14 * Dappled 's trying to get access to mystery gifts in Platinum but the stupid clown won't move from the building I'm supposed to go into

22:15 <Dappled> Ah. Need a coal badge.

22:16 * Dappled tries HG.

22:18 * Dappled hugs the Ali. Works.

22:20 <Dappled> Welp. Looks like I have another reason to beat HG and platinum. Cause I need to have beaten the elite 4 in them to transfer them to White 2 so I can move them to pokemon bank.

22:26 * Dappled wonders if he'll be able to swing trading these mythicals for the stuff in Gen 6-7.

22:33 <Dappled> So Ali, once I've got it set it so that I receive the mythicals on the dates of the actual events, would you like some of those mythicals? It might be awhile since I can only recieve one per save file, so gen 4 games need to be beaten before I can transfer them up the line.

22:34 <Ali> Sadly I cannot due to Nintendo Online

22:34 <Ali> And as far as I know, Shaymin is not eligible for gen 8

22:34 <Dappled> Or we could just trade on the 3ds.

22:36 <Dappled> The pokemon games are well and truly known inside and out. People have made dns servers to handle the GTS for the games that have shut it down.

22:42 <Dappled> Course if you would just make a home account, the free version would be enough for people to trade you things without paying money.

22:50 <Ali> But you can't pull from home to SnS?

22:51 <Dappled> You'd still have access to it when it becomes available in a future game. Or again, I just trade it to you on the GTS for an older game.
