Yup. Some people are born strong. Some tall. Some smart. Some rich. Life isn't fair. Tough titties. But almost everybody has some opportunity for bettering their economic condition. All I'm hearing from you is a buncha whining about how it ain't a level playing field. No shit. Two choices: 1) Whine and wallow, or; 2) Buck up and expend some effort at bettering yourself.
And to return to point where I first responded, it is not the case that there is zero opportunity for the current generation of protesters, and it is also untrue that the boomers were able to just waltz into the job of their choosing.
where do they get that impression. im a boomer and my 1st job was washing pots and pans at a restaurant for the summer. it wasnt my 1st pick, thats for sure. but i decided to be the best pots and pan washer they ever had. with them as a glowing reference my next was janitorial work, scrubbing toilets among the other duties. again i decided to be the best toilet scrubber there was (this was a warehouse). and when the company corp guys came down for inspection our warehouse was awarded for being cleanest facility. so i was promoted to a crew chief and taught others how to scrub toilets properly. then i was promoted to oversee other warehouses. etc. with that as reference.. etc none of that required extensive schooling or brains even. just basic math and more importantly a willing to work and learn attitude. so come on i scrubbed shit as one of my 1st jobs. to those people saying we boomers had some magic head start: stop being lazy and get your ass to work and IMPROVE yourselves, just as i did. |

Not that it's getting too boring.. 4D chess again
Does playing 4D chess require lying, defrauding, swindling, doctoring documents, and impostoring? Because he's losing, and no one is playing his game. obviously he is playing against himself. thats why he thinks he can win. as he is a half wit, one half will win.. right? 4D chess FTW Technically speaking, all games of chess are 4D chess. The chessboard and its pieces are 3D. see? thats why i could never rise to the csw levels of.. whatever it is. i miss such obvious things. *sigh* |

Still moving up in diff +18%. this will get us very close to all time high
we will be 16.2 or 16.3.
ATH IS 16.6. iirc
ok now i know im stupid. and i read that many big miners have power contracts still in effect so they will run no matter the price of difficulty till they expire. but wasnt there a big drop last(?) adjustment? why shut down and turn it back on if power was fixed. or do you think its new gear. although i though bitmain wasnt shipping new orders due to their internal civil war. or is this preordered gear just exiting the pipeline? sorry if this was already explained upthread. ive tried to keep up but as i said im not too bright. is there a tldr for a brief recap? |

Rome had over a million people near the end. A year later it was down to 40k.
This is just the beginning. It will get much worse.
Civilisation.exe is not responding, would you like to end this process? he who controls the API, controls the world. |

SSDs were probably the biggest performance boost in the last 10 years, spinning drives just suck.
Amen. I was aware early how much of a performance bottleneck storage was. yeah SSDs are to throughput as 3d graphics accelerators were to video games. back in the day my brother in law bought a voodoo card for quake and i though he was nuts paying that much money for a video card, especially one that needed a primary card for regular desktop stuff. until i saw it. the next day i drove almost 100 miles (one way) and then i too had a voodoo card. just for glquake. only other thing that saw that much improvement in a PC was when i got the original sound blaster. the original had a built in 4 watt (2w x 2) amp and rotary volume control on the bracket to drive regular, unpowered speakers directly. ahhh wing commander and mechwarrior on an IBM AT with memory expansion cards. |

He claimed an address known for one of the most infamous hacks in Bitcoin? Laughable. Hahaha.
Where's hv_? He should read it, and explain.
Their explanation is that Faketoshi's strategy is simply beyond our mortal comprehension: Not that it's getting too boring.. 4D chess again
We're all apparently just too stupid to see how committing perjury and fraud is going to prove that Faketoshi was really a genius all along.  perhaps some super duper important info is known only to someone in prison and he needs to meet that person for an extended period of time. very complicated, may take years of conversation to reconstruct. or shards (or whatever the f those slices of keys etc are) of the tulip trust are engraved in various prison cells at various prisons. he will want to sample many many cells. |

yeah just grabbed a new notebook/tablet. went AMD as i figured anything with an intel chip will just keep getting slower and slower as more and more security patches and microcode updates are added to slow it down. not that AMD is perfect but intel? seems like they just didnt give a f*ck about really anything for years till real some competition came back. |

edit: bawb. welcome back. #nohomo
* BobLawblaw grumbles. Angrily. err.. (if directed at me) sorry? im not big on social graces or interactions. or so im told. but if grumbling angrily in general? im on that page too. edit: ive seen some pretty real crap in my life on social issues. but this is next level shit. been a while since i was in protests, but even with the risk of catching covid-19 and with underlying health conditions as personal risks to going out there i think its time to get counted and add a voice or two. |

another vote for V8 to be a merit source,
he seems to pop up in the most unusual places to drop merits as well as his somewhat regular stomping ground (the WO thread). always bringing a laugh or spreading pertinent news and using his own unique flavor of humor when presenting it.
a must have addition to the merits source list IMO.

That sucks man. Can you imagine the heart dropping feeling if you were to click send & see what you’d just done?
i had a very similar heart stopping moment sweeping a paper wallet many years ago. clicked, realized my mistake (failed to sweep all of it.. dont ask and this was before RBF, if that even would of worked with the wallet i did it with, dunno). man till i verified the change went back to the paper wallet addy.. well.. not a good feeling. that 10-20 minutes till a few confirms went in. otherwise it would of been donated to the miners as the fee if i recall the rules correctly. 2/10 would not recommend. TLDR check it several times when messing with stuff. |

Back in the 1960s we used to say, "you can't trust anyone over 30".  I was 2 in the 60s. So you can trust me. no that "im now two years old" trip was pretty common when dropping acid in the 60s |

And the fact that your only defense is "lawl" just further reinforces things.

I believe with all my heart that Satoshi would not have used his real surname as this would be a ever so slightly large security slip up. I do also believe that he was only human so would be worried about forgetting his original name. Therefore he would've slightly changed it. Due to my research I wholeheartedly believe Satoshi is Dr Shakamoto - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfs4vGDMWBEi think youre onto something. with only slightly more rearrangement of letters i have come to the conclusion that Satoshi is Rick Astley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 |

Funny. I can imagine AlcoHoDL doing an expressive dance towards his phone trying to get the phone to cooperate in showing the proper numbers.  I need one of those too... just like my avatar suggests. That's the beauty of HoDLing. The older we get, and the longer we HoDL, the better we become, at anything! I can bet that soon we'll all be able to perform almost as good as her...  hey i could do that pose too. once. then, many months of physical therapy. |
