I have a feeling it will still take at least 10 to 20 years, but if they can see it happening now, then can find ways to delay the inevitable, but they will try to delay it anyway.
I've been saying it's coming "sometime" for a while but now I feel it's imminent. What's going on in the US has all the elements of looting while the looting's good. The cracks have been showing for a while and BRICS haven't been idle. It's getting a bit far into this year but I think we could see something major within 12 months. |

Which opens another existential discussion/question: why do we have to have money (be it BTC or whatever) and therefore "buy" our freedom? Weren't we supposed to be born with freedom?
Well... Just another example of WO and Ivory Tower blending "zusammen"...
Depends on the freedom. You're free to wander out into the world and starve to death. You'll never be free from the laws of thermodynamics. |

Not for a self contained unit, your thinking of the actual home heaters that plumb into the existing system I think. Those have come a long way as well and I might pick one up next year or if a ac unit bites it this year.  ^^^ this is a self contained one. The important thing to remember for heat pumps is they don't work well if the outside temperature drops below about 40F (about 4C). I have a dual gas/heat pump system which gives pretty good results. |

In Germany ALL! the big news media sites started doing affiliate marketing, having thousands of pages in the search engines with "top 10 best toaster" "top 10 best pc mouse" etc. As you say, they are history soon. Due to their fake news, working for variant agendas who pay them (eg. Bill Gates is heavily in in Germany), many (still too less) people woke up and understand more and more you can not trust news media anymore. So, not so many visit their sites = less money from ads, more agendas enter the market and pay em because it gets cheaper to buy your self fake reputation or push your agenda through news.
They were on borrowed time as soon as the first TCP/IP connection was made. The ex-cathedra model can't stand in a world where everyone can be a source of information. |

They are suppose to bring news coverage that is not bias but they never do. I think there are more examples of news using stories to click bait and push a agenda than there is them being transparent and showing us the facts in a non bias way. We are in the world of click bait and they use that because they get more clicks and they benefit from that because it translates to more money for them.
MSM is dying too. I think that plays a lot into things. |

Nice attempt at gaslighting, you spamming little shit.
Here are the facts. You collected bitcoins for an investment, and you repaid fewer bitcoins. Despite the obvious loss, you claimed 100%+ ROI in dollar value, even though you never collected dollars. Now you're taking this even further and assigning today's dollar value to bitcoins that you repaid, and original (2012) dollar value to bitcoins that you didn't repay, to further embellish your imaginary profit.
But hey, some people in this thread believe in lizard conspiracy so your spam might work. Good luck.
I didn't realize that his counter to 1BTC=1BTC had ulterior motives. |

I often see people make this claim but it simply is not true. If that were the case then taxes would certainly be easier, but it isn't. $1=$1 but 1 BTC does not equal 1 BTC, at least in the eyes of the law. It's all fun and games to pretend that Bitcoin is it's own thing, but it isn't. I feel like people with this attitude are LARPing as Bitcoiners, but actually have no idea what they're doing, don't pay taxes, and likely don't even understand what Bitcoin is. I'd love to see the face of someone's accountant when they utter the phrase, "1 BTC is 1 BTC" as that is the sort of stupidity that people tell stories about to their friends over a beer and a laugh.
Now, see, I feel like people who don't have this attitude are LARPing as Bitcoiners, have no idea what they're doing and likely don't even understand what Bitcoin is. |

This is in error. The Bitcoin one should say 100 BTC  In the sense of a mistake? At that time, $1000 could buy ~100 BTC Yes. 1BTC is still 1BTC. inferior currencies are much less interesting. |

1000$, invested 10 years ago in various assets:  This is in error. The Bitcoin one should say 100 BTC |

When I run into stuff like this I can only think that an immutable decentralised ledger of some form that publicly holds the truth of things would be so much better. All land should be on some blockchain breaking down the exact coordinates of the land. Actually, I know someone who was working on this years ago.
There's no reason people can't trade their well defined property easily.
"Code as law" falls over pretty quickly in such cases as there is often a need for human intervention. This is a big problem I have with the grandiose claims of Eth. It definitely has a niche but will never be as widely applicable as they hope. |

This guy more or less brought me into crypto and i enjoyed his predictions and mathematical forecasts very much! I think his game was not intended as an exit scam, i think -as i was watching the development of his castle game- he was fucked by hackers as other exchanges had been fucked also and he was fucked by poloniex also. I am not sure if he had a car accident or if he was accidented, but yes he had some troubles with his wife and his children. RIP, i will still enjoy reading his posts and predictions saved here  He claimed to have a bunch of bitcoin stolen at a conference IIRC. Poor guy clearly had mental issues and it's a shame he wasn't able/willing to get help. |

20ft is significant enough but I'm sure they're probably basing it off what they "know" the boundary is supposed to be. Or do they have any evidence to back their claim? Annoying for sure.
They have an old title, legal description, and survey done in the 1940's, and asked me to move a marker on a 2016 survey vs their 1940s legal description. They should have challenged it in 2016 before I bought the property. Ain't gonna happen. Taking them to court over it if I have to. Either next Thurs/Friday or week after we'll be out there to meet with the Sheriff Dept. who will be keeping the peace during the fence buildout. I bet that 1940s person didn't have a laser theodolite. Please keep us informed. Always a slight possibility the 2016 is in error I suppose but I wouldn't put money on it. |

They are literally disputing about 20 feet on a single marker, that is holding up fence construction along a 1/3rd mile border segment.
Offered to buy their property and was shouted down.
Even offered to fix the fence at my expense, if they provide me a valid, signed and stamped survey that contests mine.
They are refusing to let me proceed until they have time to get their own survey (A pointless waiting tactic that I've had enough of)
Lawfare it is.

Tied up in a legal dispute all week with a neighbor contesting my official signed and stamped survey. Had to retain a lawyer and officially get the Sheriff's Office notified and on-site for a day next week.
How much land is in dispute? I'm sure you'll win. Modern surveying is pretty accurate. People get funny ideas in their heads about where lines are though. |

What If has been ruined...that is all.
Pop culture is imploding right now. The only hope for existing IPs is that they can pass under the radar until sanity returns. |

As for concrete and pylons depends on code.
I can do this with a gravel pad and not be called permanent structure so no tax on it and no permit.
If I do concrete I need a permit.
This is different from a concrete pad. It can be either a concrete block or you can cast concrete cylinders.   I have been lucky so far with poison ivy with no incidents though my wife has had it a few times. I almost wonder if there's such a thing as immunity. |

Have you checked your local code? You might not have a choice for the size of shed you're planning if you're in a cold climate.
It's not cold. Though I wouldn't have thought that would have hit any kind of limit. It's also an area where codes are generally not so severe. Though I should definitely run a quick check. The main reason for going with the size of the neighbor's shed was it looked like a good size and is proportionate to the land area. |

Building the bluestone pad was about 800 and 100 for the poison ivy treatments.
I was more sore from the poison Ivy then I was from moving 4.5 tons of gravel into place.
I was thinking of just going with concrete pylons and wooden posts. Would you advise against? I have heard with the poison ivy, the best bet is to wash thoroughly with detergent after contact. You need to catch it early though so if you were not aware it may not have helped. |
