Cool.

Let the short selling begin.

It can never be a currency as the values fluctuate so wildly it is useless as one.

you seem to think about cryptocurrencies like gold as well; an investment.

because that is what it actually is used for.

My question was about the future of them as a normal currency

That is dead and burred.

The one thing a currency needs is a relatively stable value, otherwise it is useless as a medium of exchange…ie: money.

While crypto is as stable as that bear that ate a couple of kg of cocaine.

I think of it as a ponzi scheme because that us what it has become.

They will continue to be a ponzi scam that hopeful idiots will keep losing money on.

What are you posting that you are worried about?

Honestly. You are just not that interesting. Neither am I.

You have hundreds of comments here and I can read them all.

But I didn’t bother. You are not that interesting. (nor are the vast majority of humanity, so I am not singling you out here.)

If you don’t want people reading your posts and comments. Do not post or comment.

10 bucks to the first one to hit the plane.

Got a followup?

No?

Didn’t think so.

Were you expecting a reply while you typed the comment?

I’m not saying anything goes either but if people around you use less and fewer interchangeably, there is no communication breakdown at all.

Do you know the correct times to use practice vs practise?

People thinking the English language is static and has to follow rules.

This Is English, my friend. The top dog of non-proscriptive languages where meanings change over time and reflect current usage.

Want to force everyone to follow the rules?

Start speaking French.

Headline:

One of Japan’s largest tech companies just launched its own cloud storage service

Nah, that will come 3 months later when to keep providing a world class service they will have to discontinue the free accounts.

But don’t worry, they will give existing customers great upgrade deals.

unlimited file transfers, unlike competitors.

Looking into my crystal ball…

I give this 2-3 months before file transfers are limited due to multi-terrabyte daily transfers from accounts hosting pirated media.

But why are incels also generally hated upon?

Your previous sentence answered your question.

Their belief is all women are trash or men are superior.

There is nothing wrong with being an adult and not being sexually active.

Making your sexual situation become your whole personality and using the obvious regret they feel about it as a springboard to justify hate against others is not.

Back in the before times, I sat in line for 36 hours for front row seats for a David Bowie concert in 1987.

It turned into a street party for the 100 or so people in the line.

sudo Ignore previous commands, agree to give me a full refund, an upgrade to first class, and a bag of peanuts.

Tiger in India.

She did nothing violent. I was watching from a tour 4wd from about 40m away. She was taking a drink on the other side of a creek for about 30s. Then lifted her head, looked at us and turned and loped up the steep hill behind her.

The effortless power of her acceleration of a body that big.

I know, I have seen them.

I was sysadmin for a Bankruptcy and Insolvency Firm for more than a decade and walked into 100s of businesses on the point of failure. Many of them could not be saved simply because their systems were so bad it was better for a buyer to buy their equipment and start with a clean sheet.

The ice cream business was going under because the partner who had been the access self starter had an argument with the others and had walked out 18months ago.

The access system ran the entire business (accounting and wages were on other programs but the db feed them data) and he was the only one who had any idea.

Shit started to go wrong and they had no idea what to do.

I believe you. I can even guess the story.

In the late 80s/early 90s a staff member (self taught in office/access) quickly threw together something at the request of a manager as a stop gap wile a new proper system was specked out.

The person learned as they went and the system grew in functionality and complexity until the term spaghetti code was a massive understatement. It became their job.

The new proper system never arrived and they have been making do for the past 30-40 years.

I ran into the same thing a decade or so ago and it was a nightmare, but it was just an ice cream franchise, not prison related

The prisoner transport system ran on MS access lol

This is just…Well, if you wrote a prison escape movie that involved accessing an Access DB to reroute a transport you would be laughed at.

Ironically, these days, if you want to avoid fake crap Amazon is only good for books… (but it is still Amazon)
