Not if you eat the over-fuckers.  

Given that only 7% of the world's land is dedicated to agriculture, it amazes me that 2,575,596,800 acres feed 6,973,738,433. That equates to .36932799025 acres for every person currently on Earth. We all know that that number gets smaller daily to less land being used for agriculture and the population growing.

Thanks, spike and dree. Assuming dree's spreadsheet is relatively close given my rough guidelines, it looks like the goat population doubles every year. In real life, this fact can easily be borne out by adjusting the percentages.

Another fact is that there is only 36,794,240,000 acres of land space on Earth. At the very least, each goat will require 1/10 of acre of land for grazing. Africa has 11,668,598 acres of land.

Now, some more questions, given the above. What's the most amount of goats a continent like Africa can sustain? How long would it take to reach that specific number? What's the maximum number of people that will benefit if they owned a breeding pair of goats? Once you place 10 goats on an acre of land, what land is used to grow other crops to feed 276,000,000 hungry Africans every day?

A little quick math proves that even if one goat could sustain one human for one year, ten million goats taking up one million acres of Africa (~1/10 total area available) would only sustain the same amount of people, still leaving 266,000,000 (and growing) hungry Africans. And they became even hungrier because crop growing acreage was turned over to the grazing of goats.

To be clear, I'm not dissing the goat giving programs, for they're truly needed. But now it can be clearly seen that there's only a certain number of goats that any one continent can handle. And that number is even greatly reduced when you implement other livestock programs to the same region (chickens, ducks, cows, pigs, etc.), some of which need more land to flourish, most of which don't go hand-in-hand with the raising of edible crops.

I say that any organization that starts with a 100 breeding pairs of goats, they would reach the maximum sustainable goat population in any region of the world in ten years max unless, of course, the project is designed in some nefarious way, then an infinite amount of years would still not reach said population.

Somebody check my math or weigh in as I calculate the number of goats after year two.

• Beginning: 1,000 goats (500 Billies and 500 Does)
• Start of year two: 1,500 Goats (600 Billies and 900 Does)
• Start of year three (calculated below): 2,540 Goats (920 Billies and 1,620 Does)

After one year, we now see a 50% increase, with 500 total goats eaten or succumbed by other means, and 400 does producing milk.

Now, to calculate the number of goats after year two, there would be 600 (original/Y2) - 480 (80%) - 100 (20%) + 900 (offspring)= 920 billies, and 900 (original/Y2) - 180 (20%) + 900 (offspring)= 1,620 does.

If I did the calculations correctly, at the start of the third year there would be 2,540 Goats, an increase of 154% since the start of the program.

That's the post I was in reference to, for it resonates with lots of cred.

Thanks, Brad. The OP just went into my personal log: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=130100

Fuck you! I don't need no stinkin' pictures. Let's just meetup, and bring an extra shoe in case photos are demanded.

I found another one! This is better than MineCraft.

Are you taking anything for that cough? Some here may be in position to sell you what may need, but be forewarned, it will involve an onion.

Thanks, RaTTuS! Appreciated.

First, allow me to comment on that entire tread, sourced above.

Fuckin' WOW! (apologies to those who would have used 50pt font bold in red)

Upon reading that thread, I feel I owe Josh/BFL an apology and should make a trip to go suck his dick with a promised reach-around. Looks to me like people are ready to abandon ship, for I would if I were invested upon reading the latest, especially the posts by those who know their shit.

Concerning the CNY date: I started reading the post with an open mind, with perhaps a bias toward it being a mistake. I held that belief system all the way till I reached the 3/4 mark of the post, quoted below.


To me, the above is predicated on his belief, or worse, perpetuating a falsehood with the mistaken date, for it clearly reads that the 10th of January is an important timetable.

Further in the same thread, I read something else. With apologies to Dave and Jody, respectively, consider and compare the following two quotes:



I have read similar statements elsewhere.

With the above penned, here's to hoping that the wool is not being pulled over our eyes in regard to this ongoing saga and that it all works out in favor of Bitcoin. If not, the resulting fallout will pale in comparison all previous fiascos combined, cementing The Year of the Snake in the minds of bitcoiners beyond the last block mined regardless of how it'll be hashed.

I guess it could be done longhand for the first 5/6 years to obtain a rate of growth, then extrapolate that for the remainder 14/15 years. Would that accomplish the task?

I swear on my mother and father's ashes I didn't Google "Butterfly Chicken".   (with apologies to mom and dad for lying)

Would someone be so kind as to point to me where that CNY typo(?) was first introduced? Its source is eluding me.

Starting with 1,000 goats, half of which are does, how many goats would there be at the end of twenty years given:

• After one year of birth, a doe produces two offspring: One doe and one billy.
• 80% of the billies are eaten (or succumb) when they reached maturity (usually within a year, but calculate it as a full year), with the other 20% gone when they reach two years of age.
• Does are eaten after producing and weaning eight offspring (four live births). Figure five years total.
• Figure a 20% mortality rate per year for does, thus not producing any offspring.

Thus, after one year, there would be 500 (original) - 400 (80%) + 500 (offspring)= 600 billies, and 500 (original)- 100 (20%) + 500 (offspring)= 900 does.
After two years, we calculate again ridding the 20% of the original billies plus the other 80% for the yearlings, and maintaining the 20% mortality rate for the does.

I'm guessing the Earth would be overrun with goats, but love to see if the math proves my suspicions.

Those are mountains? I though they were titans. I need to get laid!

I wonder what are the chances of one of their reps being in LV on the 11th. Sure would be nice if Tony could talk to them in person.

WTF!


I guess I need a solution. Suggestions?

I can't imagine a guy even with a massive ego spilling so much information to some rouge in a bar. I feel somebody is being played here.

Nothing at the moment, but if you want to get a feel as to what some of the mods partake prior to them reading this forum, get a load of this shit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRDUVpliTuU Don't know what's it called, so I'll simply dub it psycotunes.

While viewing videos of free-climbers may spook me, it wouldn't faze me much to be inside such an enclosure. I'm probably the only person here who's ever wrestled a 750 pound black bear.
