    Its the county health dept rule. I doubt we'll follow it but that's the law we're living under. My son is locked down for 10 days and then the rest of the family is 14 days after his 10.

    I'm shocked that they don't let you pick options, I always thought that is how builders make their money but then I guess if the market is that hot, that there is bidding wars on new construction they're making money. All the options my wife and I did, added $70k to the base price of the our...

    What about like cabinets, flooring, light fixtures, things like that? We went room by room and added stuff, like the vent hood venting outside instead of back into the room, things like that.

    Congrats. The design part is the fun part, at least it was for me and my wife when we built. Shit adds up though, $500 here, $500 there.

    For tax purposes, selling is taxed as capital gains. How would it work if you mined it. Would you have to calculate each blocked reward at the price btc was when you mined it?

    So if I do a bedrock server, everyone has to be on my local network? I was thinking bedrock because my kid has an android tablet and spends the night at grandparents house and was hoping to let him play over there if he wanted too. I don't mind doing a realm server just for him and his friends...

    Brandon has said it at various book signings that in order to access investure power you soul has to have cracks in it. It's not specifically spelled out in the books though. I've read it over at the 17thshard

    Both my kids wake up in the night. My daughter used to sleep through the night, now she''ll wake up crying a couple of time a night. I used to go in a hold her until she fell asleep, which would result in me falling asleep in her chair. Now I've gotten to the point where I just go in cover her...

    The whole idea of being invested though is you have to be broken in some way. You have cracks in your soul to allow the power to seep in I think is what Sanderson has said

    I'm not sure that bitcoin will hit $318k by next December, that seems too over the top for me. I'd be happy anywhere between 18k and 20k for a near term price.

    Profit depends on what you pay for electricity too. I mined at my work, so I got free electricity. I bought a few older miners from eBay and with the mining pool I was in when ever we got a block I'd get something like .0004 coins with a block reward of 25. That included miner fees. According...

    I started way back with bitcoin, stopped for a while and then got back in about 9 months before asics came out. I stopped a few years ago when I realized it was just an arms race with the dealers making the most money. I never did any alt crypto though.
