WTF?

Banning male urinals is just plain stupid.  I'm not much of a fan of public toilets, most are disgusting and I don't want my wiener touching the inside of the bowl.  Of course elongated bowls eliminate the problem, but very few washrooms have them.  could you imagine the line up at sporting events because there are no urinals.

It's a lot cleanlier to piss in a urinal than to sit and pee.  Perhaps the ones that want to ban them are people who get "stage fright" or they have small wieners and they're afraid of other men noticing?

I'm gonna add this to the stupidest things I've seen in a while pile and shake my head.

I don't think thew will ever contribute in a positive way.  It will just be a way for big brother to watch and control our every move.  With credit, debit, and cell phones, we are almost at the point where almost every move we make is already documented in some way.  I imagine eventually being micro chipped will become mandatory at birth.

I already notice that the younger generation is a lot more agreeable to have very little privacy. I can only see it getting worse.  Eventually everyone will be open to microchip implants.  I'm glad I'll likely be dead by then, because thats not a world I want to live in. 

LOL! Sometimes the stupidity in this thread makes me laugh.  People come in making stupid posts without reading any of the background.  I suggest people read up on what the OP of the thread has posted and the CBC article on the sale of his house for bitcoin.

He isn't the only person that has used bitcoin when it comes to the buying and selling of homes.  I'd post the links, but I doubt many would read before commenting something stupid.  Instead of people coming into the thread and shitting on the op, you'd think people would be happy for him or at least support him on it.  Guess it shows how ignorant some people can be.

Right, I vaguely remember getting the email.  I expected to get an email right around when the warning was issued, not 3 weeks later or so.  Good thing it was a poorly written email so it was pretty easy to spot.  Then again, I don't trust any email that I receive that comes with an attachment.  See so many scams come through email these days.


Now that would be interesting.  Does Cavirtex wish to respond to this question?  What other information was possibly leaked?

That's one of the biggest issue with Ebola, some people aren't taking it serious enough with precautions.  Look at the NBC? reporter.  Ignored the quarantine and decided to go around town and shop, etc.

With some common sense, and proper cleanliness and quarantines taking place, Ebola should already be contained.  Far too much complacency in all this.  Part of me is convinced there is a complete other agenda with the Ebola outbreak taking place.

His last post was made on June 01, 2014, this was his post,


I am back Smiley Been busy doing other things since I sold my house for bitcoin, and haven't really been following the price that closely. I check every so often and lo and behold it is back to $660+ right now!!!!!!! Well it looks like my $400K investment is going to make me a millionaire very soon. Now back to what I was doing... enjoying life.

By the looks of his profile, he was last active today:

I have to say, I am pulling for the guy, you'd think anyone would who isn't a complete ass hole.  No one want to see a guy lose all of an investment. Might not have been a great idea to sink it all into bitcoin, but to each their own.

LOL!

No, the entire USA is not infected. There are a few isolated cases though.  Apparently there might be one or two in Canada as well.  The only reason it has spread this big so far is complete stupidity by people.  With proper decontamination and sterilization this should have already been dealt with.

I was reading about a reporter for NBC or something that had done a story about Ebola and apparently her cameraman got infected.  She went into quarantine because of it but then left multiple times risking infecting other people.

I swear some are trying to test and and are trying whatever they can do to make it spread. I imagine within a couple weeks Ebola will go away no different than SARS did.

So I received a fake email apparently from "Cavirtex Support (info@cavirtex.com" earlier today with what is likely a virus attached to it. 

The subject line was: [cavirtex.com.com] Invoice Payment (#4142)‏ and the email was as follows:

I haven't used them in a while and the writing of the email just looks suspicious.  Just figured I'd give others a heads up.  Has anyone else received this email yet?

As your membership level increases your wait time to do certain things will get smaller and smaller.  I believe I have to wait about 10 seconds between actions.  I remember it being annoying at first.  Just have to be patient for a while.

I've never really noticed the form lag or be slow and I only have an internet plan that gives me 25mbs, looks like yours is running at around 94mbs.  I notice it can be a little slower than some sites I use but I imagine there is a lot of traffic for this site. Overall though, hardly noticeable.  

Best game I ever bought would be Legend of Zelda for the NES. I was around 10 at the time and I remember saving up my allowance for weeks. I did lots of odd jobs around the house and for my parents friends as well.  Fisrt game I ever was able to save for and by outright with my own money.  Was a big accomplishment at that age.

Still to this day one of the best games ever produced.  I still play it from time to time on my Nintendo emulator for the PC.  Been trying to finish it for a long time again on the PC but the emulator keeps losing my game progress. They seem to be really finicky with these types of games that require you to push and hold the reset button while you turn it off.

Same thing always happens with Dragon Warrior, which I am still to ever finish.


Nintendo Power was great as a kid.  I remember waiting for the new one to hit stores so I could run out and buy it, ended up subscribing to it for years. 

I remember calling the Nintendo Hotline a few times as well for certain games growing up.


Yeah, we were definitely forced to think as kids to beat the games.  I remember being stuck for ages on certain games.  Beating games back then without cheats and minimal help sure was a lot more satisfying.

LOL! Yes, lets stop talking politics and war, lets ignore whats happening in the world and bury our heads in the sand.  These things need to be discussed so we learn, and we need to try and keep the government accountable for their actions.  Then again, you refuse to work, pay back your debts, and make a mockery of the system.  So I doubt it matters to you what the government does.

People can choose to ignore whats really going on, but those are the people that usually end up homeless and depend on others to survive.

I wondered that myself so I tested it.  You can definitely still hear the smoke alarm if it goes off, plus I have a dog that goes absolutely ape shit when it goes off.  As for the window breaking the dog has that covered as well. They don't block out everything but they do take out a lot of the low level noise that keeps me awake at night.  It isn't a perfect solution, but I sleep a lot better at night when I wear them.

Have you ever thought about ear plugs?  You can buy ones that are specifically meant for sleeping with.  i have the same issue as you, I can hear the damn clock ticking in the next room some nights.

I decided to try a pair of disposable ones to see if they would annoy me, and I was shocked at how noticeable they weren't, so I purchased some quality sleeping ones.  They are extremely comfortable, can't even really feel them.  The only problem I've found is that I have even more trouble sleeping without them.  Also, there is sleeping through the alarm.  But a vibrating alarm on the cell phone took care of that.

I have baseboard heating in my room and they are extremely quiet except for the odd click.

Interesting,never really thought about the health effects. I'll have to look into this.  SO what you are saying is that anyone who has mining hardware regardless if its for mining or heat is putting their health at risk.  If the risk are serious, I guess there are going to be some very sick people in the near future.

Perhaps I'll move them out to the back shed if possible to take the edge off the cold.  Have to keep it heated slightly to keep the moisture down.  Or perhaps it's just time to let them die off before I do, LOL!

I currently have 4 cube miners running in my house. As the temp is starting to drop, I am using them to heat my spare bedroom, den, and living room. I have baseboard heating and they currently are doing just as good of a job. Haven't had to turn on the baseboard heaters, and I still have the windows open a bit as the miners do a damn good job at heating the rooms.   I bought one cube back in February and I had the other 3 given to me by a buddy. That's the only reason I'm doing it.

Obviously I'm not getting much in return, but from what I can tell the miners are currently cheaper than using the heaters for electricity, so I figure what the hell.

Not really, just one of many internet hoaxes out there.  I agree, one must really be skeptical about what is posted on facebook, or even the internet in general.  i was reading one earlier about how if you drink or bathe in bath salts, you can prevent infection form the Ebola virus.  Apparently at least 2 people have died from doing it.

I find it fascinating that the internet is supposed to give us unlimited access to the truth, but many just fall for all the scams.  I see it daily.  It's kinda sad that there are so many scams out there, some are hard to spot.

Remember though, don't believe everything you see on the internet, thats how WWII started.

US courts make sense, LOL! Sometimes I just choose to over think things.  Was looking into this a little further, and some sites are claiming it's not entirely true what is being stated.  The $13 million settlement is indeed real, but it looks to be limited to the first 1 million people who claim.

http://globalflare.com/red-bull-false-advertising-settlement-scam/

From the article:

The Numbers Don’t Add Up

The problem is that Red Bull sells over 4.5 Billion cans annually. If we were extremely generous and assumed the average consumer purchases 50 cans per year, that would mean that at least 90 million people purchase a Red Bull each year. Even if Red Bull only gave $10 checks to the people that purchased a Red Bull in 2013 (forget everyone since 2002), they would need to pay out $900 million.

The $13 million dollar settlement won’t even cover a fraction of the claims.

Here’s The Good News:

You can register online or download their form and mail it in – if you’re one of the first million people to do so, you might get $10 or $15 worth of Red Bull products.

Just wondering, you say this would never happen in other countries, how so?  I've seen similar lawsuits happen in Canada and other countries.

Why would this only be for US residents?  Is Redbull owned by different companies in the USA and Canada?

Also, what happens if more than 1.3 million people claim, since that will equal more than $13 million?

At any rate, I love these lawsuits.  I received a settlement as part of the lawsuit again Danone for their Activia yogurt.  It's about time these companies are held accountable for their bullshit claims. Then again, I wouldn't mind if energy drinks like Red Bull were banned altogether. Those fuckers are addictive! They are also really bad for your health overall.

Wake up to what?

From what I can see, everything is back online and is working as it should. All I see on reddit is a lot of unfounded accusations and doom and gloom.  Then again, I hate reddit.  So if I am missing something, fill me in.

Not sure why people can't just provide information if they know something, instead of being vague and pointing out a thread with a lot of unfounded information and accusations.

There used to be a newbie jail when i first signed up back in January I believe.  You could only post in certain ares until your member level reached a certain level.  Not a fan of a minimum post requirement as people will just post 50 garbage posts to get out.  

It was done away with for whatever reason.  Likely because it wasn't very successful. I would assume people would just make an account and wait until they were out before they would troll.  

I think the best thing to do is just report the posts and let the mods take care of it.
