    It's all worth it in the end. It's hard and sometimes gross but there is nothing like seeing your kid take their first step or say their first word or as @lurkingdirk said accomplish something they set out to do. There are days being a parent sucks and you just want to do anything other than...

    At least our hospital is really nice. This new maternity wing just opened in February. With our son we were at the same hospital but different area, had to bang on the wall in the next room to get the light to turn off in our room.

    Gotta love hospital discharge. Obgyn came in at 5:30 am and said my wife is ready for discharge. Peds said my daughter is ready for discharge at 9 am. Nurses told us that discharge could be as late 4 pm.

    Thanks everyone! My son met met his sister today and that was exciting. My only complaint is the doctors and nurses all tell my wife to get plenty of rest but they come in like every two hours to wake her up for vitals or some shit like that.

    Last thing on my wife's mind is sex. She's at 32 weeks. We had sex twice during pregnancy. She's also high risk cause of surgery for fibroids and had a miscarriage last summer. So she's taking no chances.

    Van Helsing

    I enjoyed season 2, makes more sense when you find out the actress that played Vanessa was 6 months pregnant when they started filming. I'll be interested in seeing where they go from here. And yeah Christopher Heyerdahl did kick ass, he kicks ass in all the creepy type roles that he is in.

    Block size is an issue that needs to be addressed. I just had two transactions go through yesterday that I created on the 3rd. Granted they were low fee but 16 days is a long time to go through.

    I would imagine a lot of the price drop in bitcoin is tied to the futures contracts and people shorting those.

    Probably a lot of panic selling from people that jumped in the last few months or big time traders shorting the futures.

    We had a set back after Christmas.

    My son went through that. I'd have to sit in his room until he fell asleep but then he would wake up in the middle of the night and calling out for me because he expected me to stay in there the whole night. We finally solved it by telling him I had to go do work and I'd be back to check on...

    China leaving bitcoin mining would probably be a good thing, difficulty would go down and I know a lot of Chinese pools flood the mempool with spam transactions and mine blocks with out putting in transactions.

    Payment on kano's pool won't be sent out from the last block until the pool hits another block. Kano puts all the payouts in the pools mempool to keep down fees. Sometimes he'll send out payments with a $1.00 fee to send out. If you are talking about the receive address in coinbase. You'll get...

    Just say an article that dogecoin was up to $.01 and now has a market cap of $1 billion. Dogecoin hasn't had a software update for two years. Sounds like a pump and dump scheme happening there.

    One thing to be careful of if you have your own wallet is having a lot of small amounts of Bitcoin, if you go to send a larger amount it's going to cost you more in fee. It's not as simple as .1+.5+.3.+.1=1. More inputs will increase the kb size of the transaction, which increases your cost to send.

    There are quite a few analyst that claim Bitcoin will be $40000 by the end of 2018. I've seen a few claim $100k in 2020. Who knows really. As with any investment, you have to know your risk. Lots of people will just tell you to hold and keep holding or hodl as they call it.
