10 Things Every Cat Owner Should Know

1. Declawing your cats is like cutting off each of your fingers at the last knuckle

Some people think that declawing is a simple surgery that removes a cats nails, this is not true. Declawing involves amputation of the last bone of each toe, removing claws changes the way a cats foot meets the ground and can cause pain similar to wearing an uncomfortable pair of shoes. There can also be regrowth of improperly removed claws, nerve damage and bone spurs. Most cats will become biters because they no longer have their claws as a defense. Cats scratch to remove dead husks from their claws, mark territory and stretch muscles.

Picture of the Day

The Price of Taylor Swift Tickets

To put these numbers in context, tickets to last season’s Super Bowl between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium in LA averaged $10,427, with the cheapest seats going for about $7,000.

A StubHub representative told CNN Business Wednesday that the resale site had many Swift tickets selling for around “$150 with averages around mid $600.” However, they noted that it’s only the pre-sale period right now “so demand is at its highest and these prices will settle.”

The company also pointed out that “that listing prices aren’t an indication of demand or what the market can bear.”

As for Ticketmaster, the company issued a statement Tuesday via Twitter saying that “there has been historically unprecedented demand with millions showing up” to buy tickets for Swift’s tour. The company told customers still waiting in the virtual queue that it is moving and to “hang tight.”

Was Sam Bankman-Fried Running a Ponzi Scheme?

SBF/Alameda’s initial strategy was arbitraging price differences between US and Korea/Japan. The different crypto exchanges in different countries would have different prices for the same coin.

In theory this was possible but in practice it was basically impossible. They lost money in Korea due to capital controls, they made some money in Japan but still lost money overall due to the enormous amounts they had to borrow and the high interest rates they were paying.
