special fx wise its great now, sure. but the original Hartnell/Troughton era with the rubber suites with zippers visible and wiffle balls glued on and such were half the charm and i was a wee children at the time. nothing better to a kid like me.

but he stories were the thing. real character development, even on the extras characters.

The Talons of Weng-Chiang is one of my fave of all time. great story, Baker at at his best, with Leela (another fav, aside from Sarah Jane) is in fine form too. and great support cast.

and now we have..... sheeeeeit trying to blot it from my mind.

especially now that the The Doctor has turned all politically correct and "woke" whatever the fuck that means.
the daleks would roll right over her cuz "reasons".

sorry for OT but im an olde skoole dr who fan since the beginnings, William Hartnell forever.. current show is actually offensive to some old timers like meself. sigh..

yeah.. thunderbirds, original '60s dr who.. im dating myself lol.

that sure brought back some memories lol

"Fo keng to im gut"

dunno belter for "keep stacking" though

btw best show since babylon 5 imo

edit merited for that scene in your gifs. good stuff

dont underestimate my cats ego. he has been trying to 51% the internet so the only videos are of him.

a mere doubling from the current price? and months to do so? i would be (moderately) surprised if it didnt honestly.

yeah but as you state bitcoin is worth zero, so no loss happened. so no lesson to be learned according there to your maths and science.

gemini uses authy for 2fa, but that is linked to a phone number. but its not sms, its an app. but im in the usa and havent tried it ouside of the usa. gemini also can supposedly use a yubikey but my experience with the yubikey is hit and miss. havent looked into it with gemini yet. for comparison yubikey works perfect with coinbase (not that im recommending coinbase, just saying coinbase has yubikeys working 100% fine, so its not the yubikey thats the problem).

not sure if any of this info will help but no one else answered so..

nah prolly just  his johnson dragging along the sand

1st a quick background: for years i had donated my CPU/GPU computing time to free, worthy (in my eyes) causes like SETI and Folding@Home. so i was used to building and running computers for compute intensive projects. running multi gpu setups was second nature at that point. for free.

so in 2011 so when i found bitcoin and actually had the possibility of paying for electricity and the GPUs (long shot but hey if it didnt it didnt) i jumped in. read the white paper but at that time most of it was beyond me.. but i did grok enough to understand this could be a game changer. so after a bit of testing on my existing setups (old folding cards that were at the end of their usefulness as far as PPD was concerned) i jumped in and bought a HD6870 for mining. later i added some HD5830s.

btc crashed from $35 to 2 during my 1st year (2011-2012) but i didnt really care much as i never made money at folding or SETI, just the warm fuzzies. but at that point the folding community started going downhill with infighting and such. so mining btc it was.. mined at a loss for part of a year or two but again, didnt care i was the project that was important, especially once i started understanding the white paper.

and here we are. my "donation" of time during that early period allowed me to retire early. didnt expect that. but ill take it heh.

hey at least you can wear them. i bought 10 btc of games from steam (5 games) back when they accepted btc. and thats what ~$400,000 today

and others here make that look lame

we are both pikers lol

lulz of course - the memes here have no equal anywhere on the net.

and how do you think i find out about >40% (or so) swings? by reading the WO!


i really dont check the price that often, maybe every several days, sometimes longer. why so long between checks? because i set my buy/sell ladders up so they can cover a decent bit of oscillation without my attention. checking hourly or even just once daily makes it too easy to second guess myself. so once a week, if even that, seems enough. at least for the way i approach this, and looking back on my track record it was the times i had auto pilot set that were the best. guess that means i try set the ladders up as emotionlessly as possible.. so i dont get into scream like little girl mode.

that being said if the price is on an upward tear (especially 2017, 2021 runs) i will leave the price up on the puter and my wife and i will stare in awe at the honey badgers antics.

 

man 3.5 btc per month? i paid like 10 btc to steam just once for like 5 games.. call it 60k per game by todays price lol. i even played a couple of them.

as for the price going up.. i dont really pay much attention really unless its like a 40% move once way or another.

yeah thats what i thought but i cant remember any names aside from Lady Penelope with her 6x6 Rolls Royce.

loved that show as a kid.

i was thinking Thunderbirds, one of the kids maybe. been a while. Thunderbird One?

cant say if this is accurate though

yup especially as it can give new meaning to the term "claw back"

yup Wizards was animated in a very distinct animation style (rotoscope? not sure)

i think Wizards and Heavy Metal were released within a few years of each other. it was when i was in my tripping phase so i saw both while wasted at some point.. fun times. left a lot of brain cells in the late 70s/early 80s heh.

youre thinking of Cowboys and Aliens, different movie. both were fun.


Wizards.. another cool movie.

after dropping from $512,000 USD of course
