Many younger users have no idea what's going on in their devices. It's like drivers who have to call a mechanic to change their oil.  co worker overfilled his oil by a couple quarts, more is better right. 5 quarts is just suggestion anyway. so why pay some flunky. obviously that engine wasnt happy but it was caught in time iirc. |

Fascinating. Clicking that link finds the following: Internet Archive's Wayback Machine

Sorry.
This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine. What could this mean? Is the Wayback Machine not a bulletproof historical record after all? He will have requested (or demanded) to have his content removed. It probably also means that he has excluded bots from scraping the posts. You can still use archive.fo and archive.today. You can also save it as a pdf and as a screenshot. gotta love revisionist history. "nah, that never happened.." |

If you're not on the verge of death, there's no need to go to a hospital.
Fix a broken bone or whatever...
Most of the time going to the hospital is worse for you than staying home and taking care of yourself.
wait till youre a boomer with a 15 page med list, 14 specialist MDs, a list of conditions and operations, some so cutting edge that they have been published. without regular labs and MD visits.. well thats life support for some of us. @Ibian, youre welcome. well no, thats a lie. Nah, my family tends to treat everything naturally. Most family members die around 100. Medical doctors are for when you're ready to die. Or you're in an accident. I've never had an aspirin in my life. Hospitals are not as sterile as they would have you believe. Go there if you want to catch Coronavirus. i could probably cure my minor health concerns just by eating healthier and exercising. so there is that. there is one condition of mine however that, while it wont kill me any earlier (sorry Ibian) it does impact my way of life in an unfortunate way. so followups and such are mainly for that. an that post was a bit sarcastic. i would not want to live like that either. but having worked in medical, i actually saw stuff like that. |

well in the WO thread when no one knew what they were at 1st (the initial airdrop) we were sending to each other hoping they might blow up or something.
like "THERE! sent you a merit!!! enjoy it, whatever that is"
then "oh yeah, well take THAT!! 20 for you" etc.
yes, we are children over there.

Why are people stocking up on food anyway? this is not that kind of event. A solar storm or EMP that knocks out all electronics would be that kind of event.
It's not like the government would leave you to starve to death if you are quarantined, either the military would organize handing out of food or they would organize some kind of mobile groceries van or something like that.
It would make sense to have food for a couple of days before everything gets organized, but that's all.
I mean if we can get food and water to people and areas that are totally snowed in in the winter, I think we can handle this.
government to the rescue? where do you live? the last couple "hit the fan disaster" times that i went through worked fairly well for us, just minor issues that dry runs didnt catch (poor testing on my part). ive since tweaked a bit and also factored in a few more things, as this time is a bit different in some aspects. BTW not a doomsday prepper or anything , just my pappy learned me some things. EDIT: the one that my dad said that stuck most was " if you dont have it, you dont have it." odd as that may read |

You seem to have misunderstood my post, I said that it was "too much" I was not referring to the price of the smartband whatsoever, it is rather the concept, and now you are suggesting even "worse" options such as getting merit notifications on car's dashboard, for me the only use for these bots is to actually help me keep up with the different discussions I enroll in.
I am so in love with the forum, but I also have a real-life to live, when I turn off my PC/Phone I wouldn't want to be notified about anything related to the internet, the idea of having these notifications 24/7 for every single merit I receive on my wrist and car dashboard is annoying, but that is just me:).
With that said, I highly appreciate the efforts put by fillippone, sent him a smartband merit for the efforts.
yes this is highly cool. but as with mikeywith, when i turn away from the forum, or any online thing, i make sure NOTHING will get through. except maybe that heart transplant message or such. online is one thing, nature is another. not that they are mutually exclusive. and again this does rock! dont let my personal opinion (which is worth nothing as we know) influence you. hmmm any way to collect a total and bring that up when the watch is online or that app is active again? that might be cool.. ie time to read up on what the gang is up to, must be a lot going on as 50 merits or @'s came through in the last 2 hours. EDIT: perhaps a number based on a rolling average? like so many mentions or @s per arbitrary period get flagged and acted upon. so as to get rid of random fluff quotes that arent really pertinent and let you know something real is up. |

yeah
I ain't waiting around for no goddamned government cheese
I will say from personal experience that the government cheese is fucking delicious. i may still have a block of government cheese that was packed in those brown boxes.. prolly good as the day i put it away. |

Yes holy water being drained in churches too
WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?
I'm interested in seeing what the death rate per capita is in the various US states. Will Red states suffer more due to their ignorance and love of "real facts"? Will Blue states suffer more due to their Godless ways and lack of prayer? Reality exists, time to place your bets. the important question is: what are the rates in the Citadels? |

Similarly the people who do declare themselves female in here are likely to be 11 yr boys trying to sell their grandmother's underpants passed off as some lithe gym bimbette's workout clothes.

Is it evil that I take pleasure in this? i was watching the financial markets the last few days. got some good lulz. some analysts seemed fairly bright. and some actually looked a bit worried too. |

Been thinking about it a bit more. Bitcoin does not produce anything. There is no dependency on any supply chain being functional or not. Dumping your precious bitcoins like a company stock because of a non computer virus makes absolutely no sense. It is an irrational decision unless your purpose is to try an buy them back cheaper, and we all know how that worked out over the last 10+ years for Joe Average.
fastest way to get rekt in modern times. of course hodling is also the fastest possible way to get to that stupid rich thing too. EDIT maybe |
