    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Bought 5 litecoins and 3 ethereums this morning to fuck around with. Excited to keep coinbase open every day and track my fortunes rise and fall, minute to minute. I'd love to sink 50k into one, but I know next to nothing (though that coursera deal last page was really helpful as a base). The...

    Nah he really was just being an obnoxious dickhead - that weekend they got like 4' of snow in Aspen, and everything in town basically shut down (including flights/roads/lifts etc - it was like a 40 year blizzard). Everyone got trapped in the hotel and there is a very nice, very famous bar on the...

    Thoughts on Litecoin? I know nothing about any of this but want to plop down $10k on something for shits and giggles - just go through coinbase and manage my trading through that portal, or....?

    Electronic Dance Music

    I was stuck in the Jerome Hotel in Aspen with Deadmau5 over Xgames weekend a few years ago, and he was the most pretentious douche canoe I'd ever seen. Then, I was listening to strobe for the 1 millionth time and realized I don't actually care what a douche he is. He's talented as hell. Love...

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    Haha, he lives around Kailua on the big island - the irony of all of this is he made his money in the oil business, and he's now the "greenest" kombucha loving faglord I know....

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If she's as crazy as you say, there is no question she's reading texts etc. Even though she's nuts, marriage is still, by far the most important relationship & friendship you can have and in my mind, if it's a good, healthy bond it supersedes any friendship. As it should, particularly when you...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This is true. I've never been friends with a woman I inherently didn't want to sleep with. My wife knows this, because I tried to be her "friend" before I tricked her into sex (then a relationship. then marriage. now kids. fuck what have I done). Well, I befriended her and another South African...

    Finally finished last night, and not sure how I feel about it overall..... Wasn't enamored with the first 75% of the book - didn't dislike it by any means, but wasn't a page turner either. I went into this book expecting (probably my fault) this to be Sandersons "Storm of Swords", and while the...

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    Yup, I know a guy living in Hawaii that has the Tesla home batteries and solar deal and says it's awesome. The initial front loaded costs though are a big barrier to entry for most people still. He also is on the list for a Tesla Roadster when that finally comes out in a year or 2. I might have...

    New York City

    Roger, my buddy is actually there right now and staying at The Time, right off of times square and is only paying $150 a night or something. He texted me and said it was a pretty good place for the money (all hotels in Manhattan are easily $100 overpriced).

    New York City

    What sort of budget? Was there over July 4th and the New York Edition was a great hotel, with an almost perfect midtown location (Times Square, Soho, West Village, even financial district all within relatively close proximity). The hotel is very clean and is in the old MetLife clock tower...

    There it is, haha. We waited as long as I felt was reasonable (35 & 32 respectively), and even then we had to go through a pretty rough miscarriage before it finally took. I'm really selfish with my time, and know that there will be a ton of bumps in the road in the future but the timing finally...

    When is the baby due? My wife is due May 3rd, and we're about at the stage of coming up with names - found out the kid is going to be a boy so pretty pumped about that.

    Russia banned from the 2018 Winter Games

    Man, maybe they can extend this to the World Cup this summer and move it to the USA at a moments notice.... Always found it strange how competitive Russia & China were at the Olympics given both countries are giant inbreeding factories. I mean, look at every Russian male - they are all basically...

    Hawaii

    Maui has the best beaches in Hawaii, so there will be plenty to do. Look around Paia, Kihei and Lahaina as there is decent "nightlife" (a relative term, the nightlife in Hawaii is non existent outside of Honolulu) and several good beaches around. Avoid Wailea as it's the most expensive area in...

    He doesn't really know how to write female characters well imo, though he's gotten markedly better. My eyes glaze over when her chapters pop up About half way through and enjoying it so far, but feel like it's a worse book than WoR in basically every way. Disappointing, hopefully the second...

    Japanese curry is at best the 3rd best curry in the world, and I lived in Kyoto for 2 years. Thai Curry is #1. By a distance. Indian Curry is #2. Japanese Curry is #3. But, Japanese Curry is MUCH easier to make yourself - making a really good Thai Curry is almost impossible in the United...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Ya that's what I mean - I gave them a lot of credit for turning D1 around (launch was a disaster though, but they added enough to make the game really interesting). With D2, you have years of learning, and you revert back to a worse launch game than the original. Can't explain that /aliens
