Yes.. but gears are very empowering.

We do not get resolution of the perpetual motion machine merely by introducing gears though, do we?  Even if we can get a wind car that moves faster than the wind by use of gears.

Perpetual motion is such an interesting thought project that it just seems we should be able to harness the universal effects like gravity through some method that will not work out to a zero sum game but all that have tried have failed.

Maybe we will finally have the solution when we have a unified theory?

Some like "The Boys", some like "The Bureau", some like both  Grin.

#1-lots of action, but not much meaningful conversation, lol.
#2-a pretty good dialogue and suspense, no superhumans, though.

Never seen The Bureau, is it worth a watch?

Cop shows have a habit of pissing me off when I see them all treating people like shit so I generally don't watch them.

I did like The Shield and The Wire though. Smiley

A spy thriller with real life conflicts.
Some handicaps for US:
1. it is in French with English subtitles.
2. it is on AMC+, which is typically a la carte for cable, just $7/mo though (first four episodes were free in my cable package). Worth spending $7 for a "gazillion" episodes plus I like how French talk to each other (if the movie is true) + some cute female characters.

Well, I'll have to wait till its dubbed, I can't watch a series I cannot follow by listening as I'm always browsing with shows running.

 Just shut up and take your vaccine.   Wink
 
edit: Is this the future for bitcoin mining?


I did get my second shot a few weeks ago, I gotta say it beat me up pretty good as in being exhausted for a few weeks.

I have no clue about the future mining is going to look like, I am guessing the machines will just get relocated and come back online as they arrive at their new destinations.

I do hope they are going to clean energy sites and they are not just going to get shipped to africa locations where they can get away with taking advantage of the local economies as seems to be the trend.

Maybe Capslocks theory is correct but I gotta say I would be astounded if so. Of course it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities for some other entity to try to take advantage of this opportunity.

I could see his point well with the blue wheeled cart and wooden board.


Yeah, thought it was pretty cool as its so counter intuitive.

Take 1g of Vitamin C every hour all day. That knocked out my COVID in a day.

Uh ... I know there's no such thing as Vitamin C overdose, but that's twice more than the maximum recommended (10 grams per day, some articles say 2 grams per day is the max without side effects) on some studies I read. I just take 1g a day and I'm doing fine. Maybe 2 if I don't forget, and just your typical costco / kirkland brand too.

Any more than 5 to 10 and you're likely to just waste it.

But then again, COVID is a new thing, perhaps that's what is needed ...

Someone with far more expertise than I about vitamins mentioned about doing it once in an hour due to how it is absorbed by the body and how quickly it loses effect (or something along those lines). Basically spreading it out throughout the day is the key.

There is something about the body not absorbing as efficient from pills as it does from food also.

@cAPSLOCK: Would you please elaborate a bit on this "state attack" scenario or point me to some reading or video? Thanks  Grin

(multi) State attack:

-China (and other states or central banks?) decide to bring down hashrate to force the diff adjustment either with cooperative firms, or by force.
-Send out pics of miners "moving" (precedent: pics of people dying in the street from covid, and doors being barred).
-Concurrently stockpile net new miners. this could also be coordinated between multiple state actors.
-Wait for the drop.
-BOOM - Bring on all the miners you control.
-Attempt to fork the chain.
-Blast narratives on Twitter, Reddit and here to divide the community.
-Start the "CDBCs won't be flawed like this" campaign.

Like JayBot points out, I am a little wiggy/fringe.



Thats it I'm out!

In other News, Loki is a pretty cool show. Grin




I think I'm a bit deranged as I like his character and not really Thor and don't like batman but really like the Joker. Smiley

Also major Rorschach fan and found the Comedian to be a seriously interesting character.

Now, Brown says “dozens” of NCR’s banking and credit union clients have come to his company complaining that their customers were using their savings to buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

..... that old Uncle Festus had hidden thousands of $$$ under his floor boards. Or that Grandpa Irving had an old savings account or safety deposit box ......

.....

...not to mention cousin Mel, Grandma Gertie and Auntie Grizelda.


I went to see them last year, I wouldn't recommend it. Smiley

2595  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: June 28, 2021, 04:14:41 PM
^  It’s nothing against XMR.  It’s about trading well and getting the most you can once it trends against BTC.  And right now XMR isn’t really looking that good vs BTC.  Here’s how the monthly looks to give you the long term perspective...





Not withstanding that polo chart if from a low liquid market now even looking at that one tells you we are at the bottom so now is a perfect entry point.

Why would you wait and buy on the uptick, that moronic.
2596  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 27, 2021, 05:49:55 PM
Alright, I see everyone here supporting Bitcoin till their death. I also love Bitcoin alot however what's wrong if someone sell their Bitcoin just to buy more in the dip?
Like I have seen people selling their Bitcoin at 50k just to buy at 28k converting it from 1 BTC to almost 1.8 BTC without spending a single buck.

Nothing wrong with that until you call the top wrong once and become a no-coiner. Wink
2597  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 27, 2021, 03:09:15 PM
But anyway.... What you think about the price?? Tongue ... Do you think it will go up, down, sideways, (maybe back in time... Cheesy Cheesy ).... Eh?? Tongue Tongue ...  Huh  Cool  Shocked  Roll Eyes  Grin




I had to go back a few pages to find an appropriate individual but this comment was just too spot on to not post. Cheesy

In the spirit of candor, let me make it perfectly clear that what's being discussed here is nothing else and nothing short of the SEC's ultimate relevancy and importance in the Bitcoin space, and so far I am not particularly impressed. Let us work together to improve upon this shaky basis if at all possible.

All the best,

For example, after 12 March 2020, when the price recovered to 6K, he was confident there will be a pull back to 3K. He failed miserably then, losing a big portion of his wealth. After that, he announced he is retiring.

I've fucked this guy last year and I'll fuck him again.




Did you mention it last year?

I'd love to see that post. Cheesy
