You posted a pic of her that isn't too flattering.. How about a nice pic like this one? huh?

As for the retards saying that drugs should be kept illegal are probably just drug dealers themselves and are afraid of losing their income. The drug war has been a massive failure all over the world. Look at Mexico. Because drugs are illegal there the gangs make hundreds of millions of dollars and are investing that money into their own private armies. Mexico is run by criminals and nothing can be done about that anymore. The Philippines is murdering its own citizens (drug users!) meanwhile we hear that police chiefs are the drug kingpins ... WTF. They only way to fix this problem is to legalize all drugs, regulate and tax them.

I know that dpos is a centralized solution but I don't think its possible to get high tps without having some centralization.

I intend to prove your assumption is incorrect.

Looking forward to it. I think most of us are.

Seen episode 1 on Sunday and I thought it was okay. That guy sure is annoying.. If someone looking like that and probably smelling really bad came into my office I would call 911.

I'll watch the rest of season 1 later. So far its entertaining.

Killing bitcoin is as easy as shutting down all of the Chinese farms. The difficulty will be so high that no one will be able to move the blockchain forward. Then some other crypto will take over.

This is the problem with nuclear power. Once they have a meltdown and the fissile material burns through the containment unit and enters the ground then you're basically fucked. There is no technology we have to remove that from the ground. It will continue to burn and sink deeper. Contaminating the ground water for 1000's of years. With Fukushima the ground water exits into the ocean at that site. So what's happening is the radiation from the 3 melted cores is spewing into the Pacific. The currents take this to the west coast of the US and Canada. This is why so many marine species are dying off that coast.

You can just go to a local bank and get more money, so long as you left all of your important ID in the safe inside your suite. If you had everything in that backpack I think your only option would be to go to the consulate of your country and ask for help.

With bitcoin you would need a computer and internet. If they took you're smartphone then you'll need another with 2fa if you are smart enough to use it. I think bitcoin would be more of a problem since you do not travel with your 2fa code ( for new devices ) nor do you have a spare phone. I don't think bitcoin will help you. No, you'll need fiat and a new passport, etc.. Consulate it is.

Why make everyone go through your website to see a text based page? No formatting and regular font. I haven't seen something like this in ages. So you have a 13,000 acre ranch huh? And you want to pay people to defend it, risking their lives I presume, and you want to pay them in a shitcoin? How dumb do you think people are?

Anyhow, if someone wants to read what he has on his site here it is..

Can you harvest wheat? Can you defend 3 square miles?

If you can harvest wheat and defend at least 3 square miles, I need you to help DEFEND MY RANCH. My ranch contains a 13,000-acre organic wheat field. And it is under threat.

Perhaps you got here by listening to a libertarian podcast. As libertarians, we often disagree about many things. What we do tend to agree on, though, is that private property, smart work, free trade and voluntary cooperation make everyone better-off.

If you feel the same, I want you to join in an opportunity that could further the cause of human liberty. Even if you're not a libertarian, but you believe in freedom and responsibility and seek a better life, then consider joining us.

I have been a NAP-abiding libertarian since I was thirteen years old. I have also been targeted by several criminal gangs since at least that time. I have laid out my experience, and the evidence that dystopic levels of corruption reach the highest levels of government, military and business, on this site.

For two decades, I had no idea what the reason for this targeting could be. I thought I was being persecuted because of libertarianism for much of my life. That wasn't it. Just two years ago, I found the probable reason -- a 20,000-acre ranch with my name on it. And since then, I have witnessed decisive proof that the theft of this property was the motivation for decades of targeted attacks.

These attacks, and this theft, are acts of aggression against me and my family. Since my ranch was simply stolen, I am simply stealing it back.

And if you think this is all just crazy, then unfortunately I have to agree with you. It is crazy. It is also real. And anyone who has been paying attention for the past decade knows that the world is becoming a crazy place. At a certain point, we all have to ask ourselves, "Do I wait until the craziness targets me, and my family's safety and well-being are threatened, or do I act to defend others like me?"

If chosen to participate, you and your team will be tasked with managing and defending anywhere from 1/5th to 1/2 of my ranch through the 2017 wheat harvest. You should be able, as much as is practical, to work with other groups in the common defense of the entire ranch.

At the end of the harvest, all I ask is that you deposit 10% of the grain in a specified location on the ranch. The rest will be yours to do with as you please. If things work out well, this offer (or a slightly modified version thereof) will be extended for many years.

I will be receiving confidential proposals at my property west of Tulsa from now until March 2nd. It is on the southeast corner of 57th street south and 37th west avenue.

Be prepared to detail your plans to defend my ranch and harvest the wheat thereon. You should consider the following threats: fire, tornado, sniper, blockade, aerial drone, sabotage, electronic warfare and electromagnetic weaponry. You will need a team of at least 6-9 people, and a requisite amount of materiel. Individuals who wish to participate, and who can demonstrate a sufficient ability to contribute, will be placed in an ad-hoc team. And please, starting now, practice good OPSEC and protect your anonymity.

In addition, I will set aside at least four suitable plots for individuals with aerial drones capable of defending and harvesting less than 100 acres. To be clear, this is just for drones -- not people. Must contact me by March 2nd.

So, let's do a little math, in order to demonstrate how this might work, for those of you who think this might be out of your reach. These examples assume a harvest of 30 bushels per acre, and a team managing the smallest portion (1/5) of the ranch.

The first example, let's call it the 'Open Source' team, is one in which a relatively large group of people all spend the next two months building their own makeshift harvesters. Harvesting wheat is a fairly simple process. The grain is at the very top of the plant, and is easy to mechanically separate from the chaff. It mostly just needs to be cut, and stored. Sickle-bar mowers (for instance) capable of doing this have been around for a long time.

So, the team has twelve people, and each is responsible for harvesting 216 acres of wheat. If half of the team is standing guard, then you need six harvesters, for twelve people. If you assume that they design harvesters that are ten feet wide, and that go two feet per second, this means they should be able to get all of that wheat (195 tons each) taken in with only one month of harvesting. Each person spends four hours per day harvesting, in shifts.

If you use a 2.5-ton truck as your base, then each harvester needs to empty five times a day into a storage area, or into a group of thirty (30) silos that are each approximately 12 feet in diameter and 30 feet tall. Each person ends up with 5800 bushels.

That's an extreme example, but the point is that this doesn't necessarily require a lot of time, a lot of capital, or even a lot of organization. It can be quite a decentralized effort. And with even a tiny amount of research and design put into it, you can likely do better than what I've suggested here.

But here's another example, of a small team at the opposite extreme. We'll call them 'Smalltime Capitalists'. Let's say the team only has eight people. And you all pool a small amount of resources to buy a single large harvester capable of going at four feet per second. You harvest for 16 hours per day, in two shifts, with two guards at all times. With rotation, each person spends less than three hours harvesting per day. The harvest takes two months. And each person ends up with 8700 bushels.

Does that sound within your reach?

This may not -- an ad-hoc team of 'Bigtime Capitalists'. These people come prepared. There are eleven of them, managing 1/2 of the ranch. They have 50-caliber rifles. They have plenty of surveillance equipment. They might have other defensive skills and equipment. They have, or buy, three large harvesters, and harvest 16 hours per day, for two months. Each of them ends up with 15,900 bushels. Not bad for six months of work.

But you don't just have to follow this paradigm, either. You can think outside the box. For instance, instead of buying large, expensive harvesters, you could buy a single small harvester, and use it to cut a series of pathways that make up the requisite 10%. Then, you release a bunch of free-range turkeys in order to harvest the remainder of the wheat. Instead of guarding and harvesting wheat, your job now becomes guarding and harvesting turkeys.

A couple have been detained in the United Arab Emirates for having sex outside of marriage.

The South African man and his Ukranian fiancee were reportedly arrested after a doctor in Abu Dhabi who treated Ms Nohai for stomach cramps discovered she was pregnant.

Formal charges have not yet been brought because Ms Nohai is apparently undergoing "further tests" to determine how long she has been sexually active.

In the UAE, all sex outside marriage is illegal, although in Dubai, a blind eye is usually turned to unmarried western couples who co-habit.



Source: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/couple-detained-uae-sex-outside-of-marriage-south-africa-ukraine-abu-dhabi-a7619201.html

When western people read such news, they are shocked usually.
There also ban alcohol, religious witnessing, insult prophet Muhammad etc.
We can think, from our viewpoint, that they are to strict or to radical but it's their country, their society and their life.
We should respect it and adopt to such rules, specially if we want to work in such strict Muslim countries.
They are trying to maintain strict order in society, keep strict moral values and rules and who are we to judge them?
I'm sure that their countries will negotiate with UAE and liberate them.
It's good warning for others.

Yeah, good warning, stay away from Muslim countries they are 500 years behind us when it comes to society. Barbaric pagans that need to be westernized.
277  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Couple arrested in the United Arab Emirates for 'having sex outside marriage' on: March 10, 2017, 05:01:41 PM
I like this law. I think promiscuous sex and sex outside marriage are immoral.

I think I should be allowed to do whatever I want so long as I don't hurt anyone else. How is having sex with my girlfriend hurting you? It's not. On the other hand you not allowing me to have sex with my girlfriend is hurting my relationship. Also hurting my hand. So why would I do what you want?

I think that people who impose their will on others are wrong. Clearly I am right since this behavior has lead to countless wars and suffering of innocent people. Mind your own business.

I have lot of question and confusion about third eye. Does it really open? And makes us like a superhuman .What's its function? What happen after someone open their third eye? Is there anyway to open it? Or it's just a rumor or some kind of psychological beliefs.

Google Neil Slade and Project Avalon. You'll find exercises there that will help you understand your brain and how you can control it. Its the first steps to opening your third eye. Popping you amygdala is better than drugs.  Grin
