Big Woof Dogecoin cocreator Billy Markus apparently doesn’t think very highly of the people who invest in cryptocurrencies like, well, his. In a tweet appearing to respond to the precipitous crash of the Terra stablecoin last week, in which the coin meant to be tied to the worth of the US Dollar lost a whopping 97 percent of its worth, Markus said it appears that large swaths of crypto investors “don’t even understand the fundamental basics of either crypto or how markets work.” “I would guess by reading what people say,” the 39-year-0ld Dogecoin founder continued, that “at least 70 percent have absolutely no clue” how crypto actually works. Simple Plan In a follow-up tweet, Markus added some advice to his griping, suggesting that crypto investors do their own research — “hype YouTube videos are not research,” he cautioned — and make decisions using “common sense.” “Have a plan,” he added. “Don’t invest emotionally.” It’s pretty good advice. But given that Dogecoin investors — and, presumably, its creators — got rich only after Elon Musk kinda-sorta plugged their joke coin via memes, it also seems a bit hypocritical. https://futurism.com/the-byte/dogecoin-creator-crypto-investors?mc_cid=d5141f9409&mc_eid=d6aea6efd0

10 best nasai lemak in PJ and KL Here are 10 nasi lemak places in KL to tick off your list. 10 best nasi lemak places you can find in KL and PJ: 1 Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa This place is possibly the most recognisable nasi lemak restaurant in KL with multiple branches across Klang Valley but head over to the original branch in Kampung Baru to experience the real deal. Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa serves amazing nasi lemak with a plethora of accompanying dishes to choose from. The sambal here is more of a sweet version, but you can make your plate spicier with the accompaniments like rendang, sambal sotong and more. Address 7C, Jalan Raja Muda Musa, Kampung Baru, 50200 Kuala Lumpur 2 Nasi Lemak Tanglin City folks flock to Nasi Lemak Tanglin on a daily basis so expect a long queue in front of its stall at Tanglin Food Centre. The place brings back memories for many loyal patrons, many of whom have been patronising the stall since 1948 when it was just a wooden shack in the same spot. Nasi Lemak Tanglin, now run by the second generation Zainal Abidin Hassan, sticks to its family recipe that hasn’t changed for seven decades. The winning element in the dish is its sambal tumis – piquant and nicely balanced. Popular accompaniments include limpa berlada (spiced ox-spleen), sambal kerang (chillied cockles) and kuah hitam daging (dark beef sauce with sambal tumis). (Image: @jktfoodfighter) Address Tanglin Food Centre, Jalan Cenderasari, Tasik Perdana, 50480 Kuala Lumpur 3 Nasi Lemak Angah Founder Fadly Fuad started his business from a little stall at an LRT station to a full-fledge restaurant serving the humble nasi lemak bungkus. Each packet is wrapped in banana leaf for an extra waft of fragrance. The rice is rich with aromatics like pandan, lemongrass and ginger. The sambal, however, is pretty mild – so you can enjoy each spoonful without any issues. Top it up with its signature ayam sambal, sambal paru (beef lungs) and sambal kerang (cockles). (Image: Source) Address Pasar Batu 2 1/2 Ipoh, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Sentul, 51200 Kuala Lumpur 4 Nasi Lemak Saleha Nasi Lemak Saleha is a hidden gem in Ampang. Its owner Kak Saleha has been in the business for over 30 years – the restaurant has been at the same spot in Kampung Pandan since it started, with its second outpost in Sri Rampai. It is famous for its rendang chicken, as well as a mean sambal that goes perfectly well with its fluffy coconut rice. (Image: @nasilemaksaleha) Address 3, Jalan Pandan Prima 1, Ampang, Selangor | 8, Jalan Seri Rejang 5, Taman Sri Rampai, Kuala Lumpur 5 Nasi Lemak Wanjo Kg. Baru Nasi Lemak Wanjo has been around for decades as one of the most popular restaurants for nasi lemak in Kampung Baru. They are open from 7.00AM until 12.00AM, serving piping hot coconut rice with a variety of delicious dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Top up your plate of nasi lemak with its sambal sotong, ayam goreng berempah as well as the paru goreng (spiced fried beef lungs). (Image: Source) Address 8, Jalan Raja Muda Musa, Kampung Baru, 50300 Kuala Lumpur 6 Big Tree Head Mamak This nasi lemak place is a well-kept secret among folks living in and around Kepong. The nasi lemak itself is pretty decent – the regular condiments topped with fried egg – but what makes this a winning dish is its signature fried chicken. The crispy fried chicken is worth breaking your calorie count for – the perfect addition to your nasi lemak. (Image: Source) Address Persiaran Mergastua, Kepong Baru, 52100 Kuala Lumpur 7 Nasi Lemak Ujang Corner Nasi Lemak Ujang Corner has been around for decades and it is undeniably one of the best nasi lemak you can find in KL. Its nasi lemak sotong variation is a must-try as the sambal is cooked longer than usual, with a stronger umami flavour. This place serves nasi lemak kukus (steamed), resulting in fluffy and robustly scented rice best eaten together with a slew of accompaniments like sambal, rendang and curries. (Image: Source) Address Gerai MPS No. 1, Gerai Taman Greenwood,, Jalan Batu Caves, Taman Greenwood, 68100 Batu Caves, Selangor 8 Nasi Lemak Medan Selera 223 If you’re looking for a place to bring visiting friends to, Nasi Lemak Medan Selera is where you need to go. There are two stalls – Nasi Lemak Panas Yati and Nasi Lemak Panas Suri – serving freshly wrapped nasi lemak bungkus that comes with hard-boiled egg, anchovies, peanuts and a delicious dollop of sambal. Yati serves a spicier rendition while Suri’s version is slightly on the sweeter side. Another plus point is the ‘muhibbah’ atmosphere that is filled with live music and basking performances. (Image: Source) Address Jalan 51A/223, Seksyen 51A, 46100 Petaling Jaya 9 Nasi Lemak Bumbung Nasi Lemak Bumbung is a popular go-to place for your late night cravings (the place opens until 4.00AM). Tucked in the back alley behind Maybank in Seapark, Nasi Lemak Bumbung offers a nice atmosphere unlike any other — consider this a hippy ‘mamak’ if you may. It is mandatory to have its nasi lemak and fried chicken, paired with the spicy and aromatic sambal that may be a tad bit too watered down depending on your preference. (Image: Source) Address Jalan 21/11B,, Sea Park, 46300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor 10 Chinese Nasi Lemak Peel Road It is very difficult to find authentic Chinese-style nasi lemak these days. But you can always depend on Nasi Lemak Peel Road for a satisfying plate of fragrant coconut rice (and its accompanying condiments), slathered with sweet sambal and served with wild boar curry. It is a good option for those who have a lower tolerance for heat — the nasi lemak here is milder and less spicy compared to the Malay ones. Address 88, Jalan Peel, Maluri, 55100 Kuala Lumpur

Why got chair next to the bed? For audience to watch the performance? The bed frame good, can tie your atb facing the wall then you can jiak her pgd without her escaping. Wahahaha

TL;NW UFOs: Few answers at rare US Congressional hearing The first public congressional hearing into UFO sightings in the US in over 50 years ended with few answers about the unexplained phenomenon. Two top military officials tasked with probing the sightings said that most can ultimately be identified. But they said a number of events have defied all attempts at explanation. The sightings recorded by the military include 11 "near-misses" with US aircraft. Some Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) - as the military terms UFOs - seem to have been moving without any discernible means of propulsion. What happened at the hearing? During the hearing at the House Intelligence Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee, top Pentagon intelligence official Ronald Moultrie said that through "rigorous" analysis, most - but not all - UAPs can be identified. "Any object we encounter can likely be isolated, characterised, identified and, if necessary, mitigated," Mr Moultrie said. A small number of incidents, however, still have no explanation. In one such incident in 2004, fighter pilots operating from an aircraft carrier in the Pacific encountered an object that seemed to have descended tens of thousands of feet before stopping and hovering. In another incident, shown publicly for the first time on Tuesday, an object can be seen on camera flying past a US Navy fighter jet. The object remains unexplained. "There are a small handful [of events] in which there are flight characteristics or signature management that we can't explain with the data we have available," said Scott Bray, the deputy director of naval intelligence. "Those are obviously the ones that are of most interest to us." Mr Bray also sought to dispel the notion that UAPs might be extraterrestrial aliens, noting that no organic or inorganic material or unexplainable wreckage has ever been recovered, and no attempts have been made at communicating with the objects. "We have detected no eliminations within the UAP task force that...would suggest it's anything non-terrestrial in origin," he said. A national security threat? Lawmakers at the hearing expressed concern that any unexplained aerial phenomenon might be a threat to national security. Rick Crawford, an Arkansas Republican, said that a failure to identify potential threats was "tantamount to intelligence failure that we certainly want to avoid". "It's not about finding alien spacecraft," he added. In the cases of objects with unexplainable propulsion, Mr Bray said that the US is "not aware" of any potential adversaries with such technologies. Following the public hearing, the committee closed its doors for a private classified session with lawmakers. Ronald Moultrie, the Pentagon's top intelligence official, oversees the UFO inquiry office How did we get here? Public fascination with flying saucers, glowing lights and otherworldly aircrafts has been ongoing for generations. The last public hearings into the issue began in 1966, when Republican congressman - and future president - Gerald Ford convened a pair of hearings to discuss a UFO sightings following one in Michigan that was observed by over 40 people, including a dozen policemen. The Air Force officials attributed the incident to "swamp gas", leading Ford to deride their description as "flippant" . In 1969, an Air Force investigation into UFOs called Project Blue Book closed after determining that no flying object had ever been confirmed or deemed a threat to US national security. Blast forward to 2017, when US media reported on the Pentagon's secretive efforts to probe testimony from pilots and other US military members who had reported seeing strange objects in the sky. The reports included footage of the UFOs, and descriptions of how they seemed to fly in unexpected ways, including hovering in place during high winds and changing elevation rapidly. Pilots described seeing them on an almost "daily basis" outside military bases, and one whistleblower described how UAPs had interfered with US nuclear weapons facilities, even forcing some offline. In 2020, a Covid relief bill signed by Donald Trump included a provision requiring US intelligence agencies to deliver an unclassified report on UAPs within 180 days. In June 2021, the US Director of National Intelligence released a report saying it had no explanation for dozens of unidentified flying objects related to 144 incidents dating back to 2004. Only one could be easily explained as a deflating balloon, while the others were labelled "largely inconclusive". "Most of the UAP reported probably do represent physical objects," the report stated, adding that 80 of them were detected on multiple advanced military sensors and radar systems. The June 2021 report failed to reach any conclusive answers in regards to what the objects are, or how they function. It called for expanded investigation and better data collection, given the stigma government workers may have against their describing unexplained encounters. Here's what we know about the US report on UFOs Last December, Democrats succeeded in including a stronger disclosure requirement in the annual National Defense Authorization Act signed by Joe Biden. The law requires the military to establish a permanent office on UAP research - now called the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61474201

Young time favourite hangout was game arcades more than nightspots.

SINGAPORE — He was having his breakfast when he looked at the cryptocurrency exchange application on his device and saw to his shock that the price of the Luna tokens he had bought at US$5.28 (S$7.35) was spiralling downwards last Thursday morning (May 12). In early May, the tokens were trading above US$85 apiece. Confused, the man, who wanted to be known only as Mr Low, immediately sent a message to his friends who had invested in Terra, a related cryptocurrency, hoping to find out what was happening. He said: "A few friends told me that it will re-peg (to the US dollar) and Luna will stabilise, so I just held (on to it)." Mr Low, who is in his late 20s, recently lost his job as a business associate at a consumer health company due to company cutbacks. He said that he had lost close to S$40,000 in a matter of days. This was 90 per cent of his total investment and a third of his savings. He said: "Initially, there was a lot of confusion. I was not aware, unlike now, of why the market was reacting that way and why TerraUSD had de-pegged (from the US dollar) and Luna was spiralling. There was some blind hope that it would re-peg, so I just kept holding and not selling." Over the past week, the cryptocurrency market went into a full meltdown after investors were spooked by the collapse of TerraUSD, or UST, one of the world’s largest so-called stablecoins. Stablecoins are digital tokens pegged to the value of traditional assets such as the US dollar. Often promoted as a stable means of exchange, these coins are often used by traders to move funds around when speculating on other cryptocurrencies. Last Tuesday, TerraUSD broke its 1:1 peg to the US dollar and fell as low as 75 US cents, based on figures from price site CoinGecko. Its price is now hovering around just nine US cents. Unlike other stablecoins that have reserves in traditional assets, TerraUSD maintains its peg through a complex algorithm that involves the use of another cryptocurrency token, Luna. Luna, once ranked among the top 10 most valuable cryptocurrencies, has since plunged to virtually zero from an all-time high of US$119.18 set on April 5 this year. Luna and TerraUSD are tokens that run on the Terra network, a blockchain-based project developed by start-up Terraform Labs, which is based in Singapore. The crash led to concerns about suicide ideation and reckless behaviour, with one enraged investor, who had reportedly lost US$2.3 million in the crash, trying to break into the home of Terraform Labs’ co-founder and chief executive officer Do Kwon on Monday in the South Korean capital of Seoul. In a series of tweets last Saturday, Mr Do wrote on Twitter that he was “heartbroken about the pain” caused by the crash, adding that he had not profited from this incident and had not sold any TerraUSD tokens during the crisis. The stability of such cryptocoins was once the cornerstone of the crypto ecosystem, with the United States Federal Reserve estimating a collective market value of all stablecoins at US$180 billion in March this year. “ Mentally, I am okay. My faith reminds me that life is bigger than a financial portfolio, and though I was irresponsible in risk management, I would accept the mistake and move on and not harp on it. A cryptocurrency investor in Singapore who lost about S$40,000 investing in Luna tokens ” TODAY spoke to seven Singaporeans, aged in their 20s and 30s, whose investments in TerraUSD and Luna, ranging from S$1,500 to S$6,000, took a tumble last week. Although some were aware of the risks involved in cryptocurrencies and were sceptical when they entered the market, others had a larger risk appetite or believed that it was "risk-free". Holding funds in TerraUSD was particularly popular among some Singaporeans, as some platforms that allow users to deposit and borrow cryptocurrencies were offering an interest rate of about 20 per cent a year to people who deposit TerraUSD with them. And these holdings were “risk-free” because the TerraUSD tokens are pegged to the US dollar and would not lose their value — or so the investors thought. Mr Low said that he had friends who were invested in the Terra ecosystem. "At the time, this meant you unlocked a savings rate that beat the Singapore banks by 400 times on an annual basis. And that it was 'risk free', so many people jumped onto the boat. They are coping just fine as a majority of their losses are purely paper profits," he added. Another investor, 37, who wanted to be known only as Ashton and who works as a technician, said that he lost about S$6,000 from the crash, but his portfolio was still mainly in other coins such as bitcoin and ether. DEPRESSIVE AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS However, many others saw their life savings wiped clean over the span of two days, prompting some of them to have suicidal thoughts. There were personal finance writers who have raised concerns about suicide ideation following the crash of Luna. At least one member of a Telegram chat group centred around the Singapore-based Chain Debrief cryptocurrency online publication has spoken about attempting suicide, which has been a “cause for concern” for Mr Jacky Yap, the publication’s founder. Mr Yap told TODAY in an interview last Friday: “We remind everyone to not do anything foolish, and if anyone needs to talk to someone, they can always reach out to us. We also remind everyone that we all have earning power and that whatever is lost can always be earned back.” Indeed, this is a trend happening in other parts of the world, with moderators of the Reddit threads on Terra and Luna pinning a post with suicide hotline numbers, over concerns voiced in the thread. The Woke Salaryman, a page on personal finance, with more than 316,000 followers on Instagram and almost the same number of likes on Facebook, posted a series of graphics on Tuesday reassuring people who had lost money in the crash. The graphics were captioned: “We typically don't like to post three times a week. But this is important”. The post on Facebook had more than 10,000 shares and 8,900 reactions five days after it was posted. The co-founders behind the page also received several direct messages on social media platforms, with fellow investors airing their grievances. Speaking to TODAY in a Zoom interview last Friday, Woke Salaryman co-founder He Ruiming said: “Quite a few people sent direct messages to us. We are in quite a few crypto groups as well, so I see quite a number of people talking about being depressed, saying that everything is hopeless now. So we thought it would be important to put out a message. “People came to confide (in me) because they knew I invested as well. They asked me, ‘What should I do?’ By the time the news came out, there was already very little people could do.” LESSONS FROM THE CRASH Some investors were “mentally prepared” for the crash, while others were looking for ways to move on from the episode. Mr Low said: “Mentally, I am okay. My faith reminds me that life is bigger than a financial portfolio, and though I was irresponsible in risk management, I would accept the mistake and move on and not harp on it.” Personal finance writers and bloggers are urging young investors to try to find ways to recover from the crash. Mr Timothy Ho, managing editor and co-founder of investing website Dollars and Sense, said: “If you are young, it’s not the end of the world. Maybe you lost money that could have paid for one to two holidays to Europe that you didn’t get to go due to the pandemic, or the down payment to a car. It’s okay to move on.” Many emphasised the importance of having a diversified portfolio, which should be a key takeaway from the crash. “Having a diversified portfolio is vital because if you lose a huge chunk of your portfolio at once, it’s hard to recover. A diversified portfolio may not give us the highest possible returns, but will protect us in bad times like this,” Mr Ho from Dollars and Sense website said.

When gaming is mentioned, you'll likely think of elaborate gaming set-ups from which you and your friends can cheer – or jeer, sometimes – at one another while racking up high scores. Alternatively, you might imagine cosying up in front of a TV console at home to test your bonds with family or friends, or even throwing yourself into the communal experience of local area network (LAN) parties. However, luxury hotel Fairmont Singapore and gamer-centric electronics company Razer are gearing up to change that, unveiling a brand-new collaboration at a media preview on May 17. According to a joint statement by both companies, the “luxury gaming” experience is the first of its kind in the world. As part of their goal to combine "the sensational world of gaming with luxury hospitality”, three of Fairmont Singapore’s suites have been revamped into distinctive gaming rooms with equipment and gaming furniture from Razer. The Razer Gamer & Streamer Suite, Razer Console Lounge and Razer Mercury Suite were splashed black with green and white detailing, indicative of Razer’s branding. Alongside gaming experiences in the latter two suites, the companies also teased a menu which was “specifically designed with gamers in mind”, including sandwiches and miniature charcuterie and cheese plates that guests could feast upon.

The gaming suites will be available for booking from May 18 and open to the public on May 24, remaining available until April next year. Here's more on what you can expect from each suite. Razer Gamer & Streamer Suite The Razer Gamer & Streamer Suite's 10 "battle stations" and streaming booth. (Photo: Razer) An almost-faithful recreation of old-school LAN cafe seating with 10 “battle stations”, one of the standout features in this suite is the green LED strips lining the all-black gaming booths and wall-mounted television screens, making it a “definitively-Razer gaming den” for the most hardcore players. The suite additionally comes with a streaming booth, which has broadcast equipment from Razer (ring light included, of course) to allow gamers to livestream onto the television screens or Twitch, the online gaming community platform. Capacity: 11 people, with at least six people required to make a booking. Price: S$240 to S$415 for two hours, S$320 to S$670 for four hours (depending on group size), excluding taxes and service charges. Razer Console Lounge The Razer Console Lounge, made for casual gamers to play with optimal comfort. (Photo: Razer) This suite caters to more casual and intimate gaming sessions with Xbox and PlayStation 5 consoles with Razer’s Wolverine V2 Chroma controllers, as well as a plush sofa and beanbags. While the games available may encourage some friendly competition, they lean towards being more laid-back, such that anyone can come together to play without a steep learning curve required to enjoy the experience. Capacity: Six people. Price: S$180 for two hours, S$320 for four hours, excluding taxes and service charges. Razer Mercury Suite One of the six booths in the Razer Mercury Suite, decked out in pink with the limited-edition Hello Kitty & Friends version of Razer's Iskur gaming chair. (Photo: Razer) Guests who wish to let their competitive side out with friends may consider paying this suite a visit instead. Set up with a three-versus-three configuration, it makes for less casual but nonetheless cosy sessions, that allows more experienced gamers to play their preferred games. One of the six gaming stations is also decked out in pink with the limited-edition Hello Kitty and Friends version of Razer’s Iskur chair and cat-eared headphones – all for one lucky player in the group. Capacity: Six people. Price: S$240 for two hours, S$420 for four hours, excluding taxes and service charges. Related: Ready, player one: In Asia, e-sports is shaping up to be the next big thing At the preview, Fairmont Singapore and Swissotel the Stamford’s senior director of marketing Julia Lim spoke of the hotel’s constant enthusiasm to collaborate with brands – which include Disney and Hello Kitty – to provide a one-of-a-kind stay for guests. Additionally, Fairmont Singapore had hosted the One E-sports Dota 2 Singapore Major in March 2021. Fairmont Singapore's managing director Marcus Hanna told CNA Lifestyle that the luxury gaming suites came about as the hotel "recognises the growing pervasiveness of the [gaming] industry and the huge potential of e-sports and gaming as a whole". On the hotel's role in the collaboration, he added: "It also reflects our continued focus and commitment towards bringing unique experiences that appeal to different passions and ages." Razer’s senior manager of Global E-sports Fernando Loureiro addressed the growing mainstream popularity of e-sports and gaming culture in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which informed their collaboration.

There’s reportedly a minor civil war brewing amongst government officials over just how much of their UFO intelligence they should turn over to Congress and the public — and at the heart of it, an alleged cabal of powerful secret-keepers. In interviews with Politico, government officials — who, unsurprisingly, spoke on condition of anonymity — said that there are those within the Pentagon who are “protecting very interesting information” from being released to the public, even as others within and outside the Defense Department are trying to bring daylight to this subject of increasing interest. “They fetishize their secret society,” one intelligence official told Politico in interviews ahead of tomorrow’s House Intelligence Committee hearings on unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAPs, which is the military’s rebranding of what were previously known as UFOs), the first of its kind since 1966. “It’s kind of a Skull and Bones-type vibe. They take it seriously but they have no accountability. Zero. There is a whole group of us that know in great detail this subject, a lot of which has not been reported to Congress because of security issues.” It’s going to take some sort of “forcing mechanism,” another Defense Department official said, to get these gatekeepers to reveal even part of their closely-guarded secrets to Congress and, in turn, the public. While it all sounds very “X-Files”-ish, there’s another, much more mundane concern among some officials who spoke to Politico. They’re more worried about the actually-unexplained sightings being grouped together with the thousands of alleged UAP sightings that turn out to be bupkis. According to one intelligence official, legit UAPs are so rare that they accounted for maybe “five things out of 5,000.” This same official said their superiors seem to think UAPs are “all air trash” and, as such, aren’t taking it seriously enough. This attitude, it seems, has led to increasing calls during the Trump and Biden administrations to reveal more about UAPs, which started with the strategic leaking of information about these strange occurrences in late 2017 and coalesced into the Defense Department establishing a public-facing office to study UFOs in November 2021. Whether or not we’ll start to get a fuller picture of what the Pentagon (and this supposed cult of gatekeepers) knows remains to be seen — but you’d best believe we’ll be reading the liveblogs eagerly. https://futurism.com/ufo-gatekeepers?mc_cid=d5141f9409&mc_eid=d6aea6efd0
