I'm not going to default on a 1.1 BTC loan.
Yeah, maybe. But what about a 1.6 BTC loan? |

Methylhexanamine/DMAA is an excellent point of a overall bad compound on the market. But it's the demand from users that drives it's sales and usage. Not sure if banning it or even making illegal will make any impact on diehard users (people still use ephedrine but now they just buy it from Canada or behind the pharmacy in the US) but I do agree it will help save some lives especially those who have no idea what they are putting in their bodies.
It won't make much of an impact. The industry provides and the usual suspects buy. I've had people on the weight lifting forum I moderate going completely nuts after the ban, up to behaviour very reminiscent of legit amphetamine withdrawal. Now they're all happily hopped up on that orchid extract everyone uses instead of DMAA and I eagerly await the next ban to have a hearty laugh at the ensuing forum antics. |

I have always maintained BitcoinINV is one of the more humorous posters on here.
Why isn't this in Offtopic though? Normally we do parody threads in there.

The US has a self regulated supplement industry in certain regards (the FDA currently regulates the quality and amount claimed on the label) which enables Americans access to many compounds that have a documented history of safety, however because most of them can not be patented there is little incentive to get them FDA approved as drugs. Many supplements are approved in other countries as drugs however with varying amount of research regarding it's safety. Some companies do sell some questionable products in terms of safety but ultimately it's up to the consumer to decide what they want and their risk.
Personally I don't want to live in a country where my options for health are limited or determined by the FDA (massive and undeniable history of corruption and abuse) rather by me and/or my doctor.
Yep, both ways have their drawbacks. With our way of doing it sometimes it takes waaaay too much time to get a product approved especially if there is no massive lawyer army clamoring for it. Hell, it took 10 years for Stevia rebaudiana to get approved for use as a condiment. Now that's completely and utterly absurd. On the other hand the FDA is more concerned with governing and rewarding itself, instead of actively going out and looking out for US citizens. One only needs to look at the whole Methylhexanamine/DMAA scandal last year, where it had been clear way before the deaths happened that it's not a very bright idea to add vast amounts of pseudo-amphetamins to sports stimulants. The FDA did nothing (and legally could do nothing) until after the fact. |

If in a dystopian future there was internet access in only one of the continents but you could still use phone to talk to anywhere, do you think would be possible to use the continent with internet access to maintain the network and use telephone calls to make transactions and see balances and/or request information that you would normally have access provided with internet access?
What role could phone play in such a dystopian future.

Wouldn't that be largely dependent on how they label it's content? If it is labelled as nutritional supplement instead of medical drug for example.
That kinda sorta hilariously absurd producer self-appointed distinction only exists in the US (for historical reasons related to the powerlessness of the FDA which even the restructuring/empowering after the Thalidomide scandal could not reasonably solve). The US has a peculiar arrangement where you can sell just about anything you want as a supplement and the FDA has to prove it's harmful first before it can be taken off the market. In all other civilized countries it is the other way around. Here the onus is on the producer to first display the safety of his product before he can sell it. |

So the BD/SM community is "ill" now? Oh boy, are you in for a surprise when you turn older than 12.

If I received one of these (first batch), I'd sell it in marketplace
That's dumb. Let it run for 5 days making your money back, THEN sell it in the marketplace. |

Wait... The Earth is cooling?!
Sure it is. The atmosphere may not atm due to human initiated climate changes, but the earth itself is cooling. You know, from former fireball to a crust we call land and so on. Now the real question is what will happen first. Will the earth's core cool down completely leaving a lifeless cold husk floating through space or will the sun go giant first burning the inner planets to ashes? My money is on the former. The latter. To the bitcoinbet or whatever it's called.  |

"One hopes the PSU is auto-switching." translation he hasn't even turned it on yet. so I guess I'm delusional? these pics haven't proved anything yet The people who are denying the reality of ASICs at this point in time are delusional.
Keep up with the threads. Not only has he turned it on, he's happily mining away at 68 GH/s. |

BTW. http://launch.avalon-asics.com/ was updated. They seem to indeed be offering a 4th board as an upgrade option, meaning the thing right now likely pulls way less than 400W. |

heh - now there's an idea.. instead of a salary.. you get a box that generates your salary  Salary? What would you buy for Bitcoins? Webspace and Torrent invites won't feed you kids and they don't sell celery for your BTC salary. |

Ya. Thanks. English not my natural language.
No worries. Sceptics is UK English and Skeptics is US English. |
