I don't think we should bother with it. The EU can't last much longer, so we should be thinking about life when it has been dismantled.

I would have thought that I had the fewest.

We seem to have got rid of the monopolies commission, and reporting on the balance of trade in the UK. Our government has been busy selling off our national assets, and giving the money raised to the Deep State bankers via the Keiser Reich.

Now the women are fat and ungainly, and so are the big international corporations.
4284  Economy / Securities / I've started a speculation club. on: September 10, 2018, 09:55:27 AM
Thanks for those links, and I have had a quick look. My idea was for a small discussion club, initially for low cost cryptos with potential. I have set up a basic framework on my economic survival site - http://wiseaccountant.com/survival/

Most of the threads are on closed boards, but I did set up a few public ones to help members sell products and trade with non-members. It needs to stay as a small closed community to avoid the shit storms you mentioned. I know that reduces the profitability of the site, but it keeps life fun, rather than becoming a work chore.
4285  Other / Meta / Re: Merit & new rank requirements on: September 10, 2018, 08:07:07 AM
I've got a few hundred sMerits that I can award, but only 9 of those are source merits at the moment. I do try to award source merits as soon as possible, that maintains the merit flow.

I'm on the netbook right now, but later I'll use the notebook and revive Talk Merit to see if I can unload a couple of hundred merits. The easy way for people to get some of those is to support some of the Fit to Talk English projects. They help Bitcoin Talk as well as the posters themselves. I've been awarding merits to senior members recently, and this is because of the difficulty in finding good posts by junior members. It isn't that they aren't making them, it's just that they get drowned out by the bots and bums.
4286  Other / Meta / Jet Cash's warning idea on: September 10, 2018, 07:03:23 AM
This thread has given me an idea. Instead of ignoring posters, I might appoint myself a "warner", and I'll pm members and ask them to stop certain practices. These could include.

- All caps titles
- Full quotes in replies
- large redundant images
- necro-bumping

I'm not sure if it will have any effect, but maybe a few will take some notice.

Errrr. Alright.
Don't know why you'd drink English vodka though (is there such a thing)?

https://www.wildknightvodka.co.uk/

Also available in perfume bottles for alleged Russian agents.
4288  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are we entering a new dark ages? on: September 09, 2018, 06:46:33 PM
I think we are seeing the collapse of the deep state. That will cause a lot of problems in the short term, and then we will enter as new golden age.
4289  Other / Meta / Re: This senseless cheating should stop on: September 09, 2018, 06:19:16 PM
I don't support any bounty programmes or any telegram, facebook or other rubbish. So anything with my name on it is not associated with me.

 If I were a mod and had some actual authority and autonomy, my moderated section would probably look like ground zero after a nuclear strike,

On the basis of this - I think I'll vote for you. Smiley
4291  Other / Meta / Re: Vote for new moderators who deserve it. @theymos please take a look. on: September 09, 2018, 04:39:51 PM
I'd be a really bad mod. Thanks for suggesting me, but I'd be grateful if you could take me off the list.

Being a mod would stop me supporting the board in other ways I suspect.
4292  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Does it matter if politicians have affairs? on: September 09, 2018, 01:50:45 PM
The greatest risk is the risk of blackmail. If they could be open about it, then that would go away.
4293  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Was Sergei Skripal poisoned by the Russians? on: September 09, 2018, 12:41:51 PM
It is no surprise to me that almost no-one in this discussion is interested in the totality of the actual evidence. You're mostly making assumptions and suppositions about what is true and what is false, and solely based on which story you prefer, not whether aspects of either story is or isn't credible. Both stories are flawed.


The totality is that it is part of a fake initiative to discredit Russia, and the resurrection of the fake Skripal story is just an addition to prepare us for another (probably fake) chemical attack on Idlib by the British funded White Helmets. This may be followed by the killing of civilians by the UK and the US. It is particularly dangerous now, as Syria and Russia have synchronised the signatures of their fighter planes, and the risk of mistakes in target identification has increased. It won't take much to escalate into a major war, especially as China is joining the party.
4294  Other / Meta / Re: User nominated names of possible moderators for forum. on: September 09, 2018, 11:38:51 AM
They gather a nice collection of red trust. There is also some surprising information in there as well. For example, I didn't know that Welsh used a hacked account. Smiley Smiley

I struggle to be remembered. Please don't forget me. Smiley
4296  Other / Meta / Re: [New Feature Idea] Saving avatars - new forum, or current SMF on: September 09, 2018, 11:02:12 AM
Your avatar is intended to be a quick identifier for your posts, and it should reflect some asect of your personality.

I think it is a bit sad that so many many members use avatars to indicate that they are bounty spammers, and that they change them to show they have no loyalty other than to payments. You lose your identity a bit if you are just flagging yourself as a paid poster.

Politicians don't lie, they are just economical with the truth.
4298  Other / Meta / Re: I've just awarded this guy with 3 merits on: September 08, 2018, 05:52:03 PM

What if he's also author of wiki article?

Then he needs to state that, and to provide a link.
4299  Economy / Securities / I'm interested in starting a speculation club. on: September 08, 2018, 04:44:21 PM
This is a follow on from the idea of LoyceV.

It is more of a group discussion and evaluation club, as I don't want to start an investment pool. The idea is to make your own investments, and sort out your own timing, but to do this as a result of group discussion. I'm not sure of the best way to work this, and would be open to any suggestions.

Please note - I am not asking for any investment or payment.

What makes you think they brought it through customs? They could have just picked it up from somewhere in the UK.

Such as Porton Down?

Didn't they state that they knew it was smuggled through customs, and they had the evidence?

The media would say they were Russian agents if they were seen drinking English made vodka.
