The challenge really becomes competing with all the mining pools and ASIC farms. If you don't exceed the min it wouldn't hurt to try though (or you could join a pool). Also, Ether was tickling $360 today, up like 20% in the past week or so.

Sure it isn't going down for the same reason my dad's liquor stash went away when I was a kid (i.e. someone else is drinking it)?

And because of AC/DC duh! "Who made who!?"

As Coinbase dumps it, lol. Seriously do not know how much Bitcoin they had in reserve but to have access to the Bitcoin Cash and say you are not interested in trading in that market when it is likely valued at tens of millions of USD is a bit hard to believe. Also will be interested to see if...

Looks fun, I'm in!

I think he did that to create tension. Basically, you get an "oh shit" moment every 5 mins so it keeps you on edge. The POVs are unique enough that you don't get confused and can sort out the timeline (literally day/night for the first half of the movie), but it helps keep it tense. He's got...

Depends on your investment strategy. I'm in this for a super long, so I could give two shits, but if I were just jumping in today I would take the current correction as a great time to hop in. Ether (IMO) is still inflated as there really isn't the same market adoption you see with Bitcoin (it...

I totally got a Phantasm vibe from the final scene and yes, really enjoyed the nod to the 80s practical effects. I feel a lot of today's horror really suffers from overuse of CGI (and of course jump scare); to the point that it is a perceived substitute for a decent setup/story. It was also...

As a director I feel Blomkamp almost suffers for Zach Snyder Syndrome at times (all show, no go), but at the same time I really feel gritty sci-fi is his niche and if he can get some help with writing, he has an amazing eye for how to portray those stories. District 9 is one of my favorites and...

I still have the original box and manual for Chrono Trigger that I stumbled upon a while back while moving. That smell when you open the box, lol...talk about a Pavlovian response! This probably has been posted, but if not it's worth checking out. Browse capcom-cps-2 games (Page 1) | Game...

This was an OK movie (6.5/10 for me), but I feel it missed a big opportunity to be an amazing movie by not really having an overarching conflict. The primary one (which I do not want to disclose other than saying the movie's title is a red herring), is readily identified and you get beat over...

Had a thought digital currency might have a niche in the weed industry. Looks like someone is making it work. Bitcoin Is Helping the Pot Business Get Over Its Banking Problem

"You solved the box, we came. Now you must come with us, taste our pleasures."

Reminds me of a question I have had for some time but don't know how to answer. Why would life be limited to such a narrow spectrum of possible temperatures? This article hints at the reasoning that even basic (much less complex) chemistry breaks down under temp, but could there be the...

It does fit the bill...only question I have is why it has taken so long to nail this down? Seems like a very likely (and obvious) source with readily testable samples floating around all the time. Unfortunate it is something so mundane, but good to know.

By a large margin...I had to check around after reading it would be traveling over 118 miles per second, but this looks to be legit. That's over 400,000 mph, way the hell faster than the next fastest object. Awesome! NASA Plans To Launch A Probe Next Year To 'Touch The Sun'

Closer to $250, but yeah not a huge surprise after this run.

coinmarketcap.com has Bitcoin at $2749.89; Ether at $206.58. For comparison in Jan Bitcoin was $1030 and Ether was $8.00.

I actually had a similar thought as I posted this...what happens if you do this in your mom's basement? Why was I not more creative as a teenager!?

This is all done pretty much exclusively by farms or collectives using ASICS specifically made for this purpose. As an individual you will lose money (in energy costs) trying to mine in the current environment.

Bitcoin kissing $2k as of today. Ether is wrecking it though around $140 (have ETH and ETC since before the split).

Gotta realize, as cliche as it sounds, that there are a lot more "fish in the sea". I was very fortunate to find someone at an early age (which comes with it's on challenges...you constantly doubting your mate because maybe there is someone better!?), but as you mature you do start to learn...

I'm actually using the advisors at personalcapital.com for the first time. It isn't the worst thing as they only charge you a percentage for the accounts they actually have custody over but still give you investment advice on your total net worth. For most of us, we will always be in the 0.89%...

Anyone making a killing on the latest Bitcoin and Ether runs? For those not keeping score Ether is up around $90 and Bitcoin is trading over $1700 lately.

Yeah, the impediment is whatever. I try to not shit on people for things they can't really help (unless I am good friends with them, then the gloves are off!). Definitely a good vid though.

Interesting story on that first picture. Also, the B17 was an amazing plane for its day. http://www.ww2research.com/wee-willie-b-17-91st-bomber-group/

I enjoy the Alamo Drafthouse which (at least here in Austin) will show an anime every now and again and even has a month each year for Miyazaki. I think anime is a lot like techno music. There is a shit-ton of it, and most of it is bad, but there are some diamonds in the rough. Spirited Away...

Fuck the haters, the movie was fine. It's a decent 6-7/10. Lots of scenes are a direct port from the anime and the story changes make it more palatable for an American audience. Don't listen to the femnazis and weaboos shitting on it, it's worth a watch. Also, agree with the assessment by...

We lost Sebastian today at 12; died of a heart attack. I'm glad it was quick for him, but will be a while before I get past it. Probably the best cat I've ever had; intelligent, neurotic, and loving. Always knew how far to push it playing rough with dad, but then would love up on his mom...

Like Richard Gere and the Dude had a baby.

It orbits inside of Saturn's A-ring in the Encke gap. The accretion you see is just matter being drawn onto its surface over time by gravity. Saturn's rings are very thin, like 10m or so thick. Being in a parallel orbit the location they fall on Pan's surface will also be in a narrow range.

So apparently this guy has been exposing himself to minute amounts of snake venom over the past 16 years and has developed some impressive resistance to it. Of course there was that one time he flat-lined because of two back-to-back cobra bites. Seems the underlying principle is that the...

And all that giant blue dick amirite!? edit: I did enjoy the movie and the comic...but the 10' blue dong did get a laugh out of me.

Could be fun and big plus seeing Theron, McAvoy, and Goodman in it.

Title: Atomic Blonde Genre: Thriller Director: David Leitch Cast: Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, Sofia Boutella, Eddie Marsan, Toby Jones, John Goodman, Til Schweiger, Bill Skarsgård, James Faulkner, Roland Møller, Sam Hargrave, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Lili Gesler, Sara Natasa...

If it's a piss test it could be to determine if you are a habitual user. 30 days is largely enough time to clean your shit up and pass a piss test (hair test would look back about 3 months). Random testing with short notice IMO is a bit too invasive but do understand it's a companies right to...

Also depending on your companies policy, you may not have accrued much vacation yet this year. Taking two weeks and leaving you may end up owing it back. I don't fully accrue until October (my boss is not a dick and I can take it whenever, but if I left early I could end up owing some cash back).

Have also been a fan of Frazetta for a while....

Did O-ren Ishii for the wife and I have a decent print by the same artist of Luke on Tatooine. Wish I could recall the artist, we just picked them up at a local Christmas Art show. Got this triplet for the living room....artist is Nick Derington. None of it is fine art, but I'm still 13...
