What you use today, as Internet, was invented in CERN. Error 404 - not found, is actually inherited from CERN days of the Internet. Room number 404 in CERN was the place where all unsorted documents were directed to. So, please stop posting nonsense about Al Gore!

Yes, anyone could solve this puzzle nowadays. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FFnbN_hzXkAEkOm6%3Fformat%3Djpg%26name%3Dsmall&t=663&c=FS-qMEyUlu5ezg) Jam crazed? Who isn't?

![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F4pYKqkq.png&t=663&c=yGbUiw3sxYXbPA) I mean... it's wrong. Like on so many things... but... The name "Wall Observer" is derived from the idea of watching the Bitcoin price movement as if it were a chart on a wall. And notr even a hint to the shit-posting. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Reminds me of when that reporter said that the nickname "spam" came from the effect of throwing a can of spam at a fan. We may not have achieved actual artificial intelligence but it's pretty close to artificial dumbass.

mmh.. looks a bit like 26xxx next and rebound at 25xxx....
All in all, I feel this cool-down after the recent rally is a good thing
You call that a rally? We crawled up from 27k, diddled around at 30k and here we are back again.

Straight after the SpaceX launch. Obviously a dig at Musk. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Says the guy who's been helping make laws for 140 years.

OK, what's the FUD this time?

The market got over that rate hike pretty quickly and does appear to be back into rally mode. I’m still expecting we end the month at $30K but we’re running out of time. One good push from here should do it though and with today’s price action I still think it will happen. I think at that point we might start seeing average Joe’s begin to have FOMO.
Gotta stash away all that funny money somewhere. The question is, is the market rallying or is it just number going up? One things for sure, those with connections will be getting out before the rest of us who will be glad we saved our ramen seasoning packets to flavor our 401k statements with.

OK, in relation to Ooms post, fair enough.
My point is that if the election wasn't decided by EC, it would have been a totally different game and would have been played differently. It's just not comparable. Simple example, I live in a red state. Everyone knows it's going red. So likely a lot of people don't even bother to vote (on both sides but likely mostly on the right). And a mirror image in blue states too. And that's just one example. It plays out across many aspects. Quite possibly Trump might have had more votes or maybe Hillary would have had a landslide. The complexity makes it pretty intractable.
As for the elimination of the EC, you have an uphill struggle there. It's still a union of states and you're not going to find many (though there are some) that want to be ruled by California and New York.

You think I don’t know that? See my post.
I know you know that. I just don't think you appreciate the implications. That the EC is in place affects everything from the candidates chosen to the campaigns and how people turn out. One of the (many) factors thought to be a factor in Hillary's defeat is that she basically said "fuck it" to campaigning in several states (her being a horrible candidate should not be ignored, of course, let alone fucking over Bernie). Get rid of the EC and it's a totally different election. The votes don't transfer over, however much you'd like that to be the case. ...seriously dude?
Hey, you were the one glibly dismissing (and insulting) the longstanding institution of the EC.

Anyway, even if it was supposed to be nickel, it's barely over a million dollars worth; a tonne of nickel is worth ~80% of one bitcoin. Not even sure why this is a story since $1M is a drop in the bucket for ole JP with a net profit of $128B last year.
That's the kind of money where if they had it as a fine for bad behavior, they'd just increase the bad behavior to cover the cost.

That's all you get for 100k these days?

Nope. In the 2016 US presidential election, some moron lost the popular vote, (he got 45% and the “loser” got 48%) but still won the election because Electoral College lunacy.
There was no popular vote. That's not how the election is decided. Thinking that the vote counts would have been the same under a different system is low-quality thinking. The electoral college is premised around that whole "United States" thing, by the way. I know you're sore that your chosen one was roundly given the boot but it's good to understand why and not just throw the toys out of the pram.

Oh, they know. It just involves fewer yachts and mansions for rich people.
