That's my biggest concern really. So many questions, like how in the hell do you confuse 6'2 220lb me with a 5'5 120lb dude. I also SERIOUSLY doubt I have the same middle name and birthday as this guy.

So I've encountered an interesting situation. Texas is a member of the Driver License Compact and as such driving records for all member states are put into the National Driver Record database. I recently received a letter from the Texas Department of Public Safety that my license could not be...

I was totally waiting on Michael Ironside to show up and blow that guys head up.

Oumuamua is moving around 85,000 mph and we have gotten satellites faster than that (Juno was over 100,000 mph). The bigger challenge would be slowing down enough to dock with it after you catch up to it. The Parker Solar Probe scheduled to launch this summer will really be hauling ass over...

You guys also filed for a homestead exemption? Takes some of the sting out. Your 2016 Homestead Exemption Guide | Austin, TX Edit: also regarding deductions I am running some crypto mining with my PCs anytime I am not gaming for associated cost of business deductions. Power (delta between...

Chloramine actually instead of mustard gas, but it will still kill you dead.

Vertical slope on edibles needs to be steeper. Also needs to have a 2nd rise as you become a space cadet from eating another dose 10m before the first high because you weren't feeling anything. Have been hilariously (at least it is funny now) high off of edibles. They definitely creep up on you.

It'll get a helluva lot more interesting once a good database of ingerited disease markers can he found. My wife was adopted and has no idea who her parents are. Considering how that knowledge can lead a doctor to a more accurate diagnosis or more appropriate test plan I would see that as a...

I see the bitcoin transaction graph as it being pretty pegged on block size (it can only support ~2500ish tx per block IIRC). This is due to its popularity and a necessary hurdle for it to get past in its evolution.

The supply doesn't change so much year-to-year from here out. Because of the nature of the reward halving every 210,000 blocks almost 80% of the coins are already in existence, with the remainder distributed over the next 20 years or so (in a decaying supply). The concern you have might have...

Oh lawd, it's on Netflix...why would you do that!? Also, maybe watch the trailer posted at the top of the thread and read a review (like the first one) which says, "Warning, it's foreign so you have to read...". So yeah, can't help you if you walk into that and are butthurt. Still stand by...

This was a wild-assed movie. Definitely worth a watch. A weird combination or gore and erotica that doesn't seem like it would fit but does. Also, I now i have a fetish to be bitten, FML.

I think the trick over the next 1-2 years with crypto will be buying equal parts in a diversified portfolio and riding it out as alternatives fight for market share. Combining that competition along with the influence of government regulation (and which alternatives address this most...

Talk about a fire crotch!

Was thinking about this the other day. What about a mnemonic seed that is every nth word from the first chapter of your favorite book. Using your birthday as the index, it would be as easy as remembering your birthday and having a copy of your favorite book handy. That way you don't have to...

Started last June with ~$3,200....bought 6 BTC and a bit over 27 ETH. A few forks later, sold the other morning to finally take some profit and rebalanced with everything down. Also bought transferred my Bitcoin Gold over to hitBTC and bought some Siacoin and Steem with it to further diversify...

Merry Christmas doods!

Right on, makes sense!

Block size is definitely a concern (currently only ~2500 transactions will fit in a block. Assuming that was not a constraint you could argue that the reward is still too high (driving the current difficulty and energy cost up). Lot of people in the game and it has become big business. Energy...

Ether, like most alt coins, and Bitcoin are two different animals. Ethers has with it additional functionality with smart contracts. The idea that you can encode how and when and with whom transactions take place in the transaction itself is a new feature and I don't think we've began to...

I guess the way I was looking at it is you can do this with what can double as your gaming rig and dip your toes into "hobby" mining, which I feel was the original inquest. I've currently piggybacked a newer RX Vega 56 onto the existing R9 290s in the wife and my PC. Pulling about $7 a day...

Have been mining it for a few days. Monero handles anonymity better than Bitcoin and also works on a (for now) slight inflationary system, but one which supposedly has an algorithm that is resistant to hardware mining so for now gaming rigs do a decent job of it. Stand to make about $2500 a...

It's really the decentralized aspect of mining and the energy cost to mine itself that give bitcoin inoculation from meddling / fraud (or in the case of nations printing cash leading to hyperinflation) and a basis for value (energy cost). I agree with what others have said that crypto...

War Damn Eagle!

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
