Thanks for the suggestions. I opted to make a sculpture outta it, then froze it with the intent of eating it later.

Now, I just took a shit, wiped my ass, and have a little shit on my right index finger. Any suggestions?

The problem is with the death sentence that Americans refuse to understand is that killing someone could end up being one of the worst mistakes of your life, think about how many corrupted cases we've had where we've had actually innocent people thrown in jail only to get a half-assed apology afterwards and no compensation for all the time they took away from that persons life? We've seen the way filesharers get treated for instance, these guys just uploaded a file to the internet and they're getting far more jail time than murderers and rapists ever do, what if suddenly they expanded all crime to have a potential death sentence attached? You may think it's awesome at first but just wait until it happens to somebody you know or even you get put in jail and you're potentially on death row.

I've seen some particularly shitty judgements about people on this board and even just on this thread where people are jumping to conclusions left and right and think that the time should be shortened before you execute somebody. I think I'd gladly be called a criminal in such a society because whenever the Americans in particular get together on something and decide that somebody has to die it's always based on flimsy logic and guess work rather than solid facts.

You only need to look at Iraq and Afghanistan to know I'm right because it's the exact same thing when it comes to declaring wars and commanding the military.

I appreciate your sentiment, but in this case the accused offered up a myriad of knowledge about the case that NOBODY else in the public was aware, ergo admitting to the crime.



Instead of killing him, they could have put he inside one of these things for life, serving him spaghetti daily on a fixed plate attached to a scale. As the plate gets lighter, the carnival rides starts moving, reaching full speed for a two minute duration once the plate is emptied. Yes, I'm aware that at some point the spag would fly off the plate, thus he better eat fast.

BTW, it should be filmed for a reality show.

I personally don't even believe using the death penalty is just.  Roll Eyes

Yes, the guy was a sad excuse for a human being, but killing him or making him suffer like that won't change anything: she will still be dead, and others will still do the same thing. We should focus on how we can prevent this from happening again.

Filming ALL executions for a reality show comes to mind.

cracked ribs are no laughing matter

you'll need lots of time and painkillers

Or some good quality bud? I cannot imagine what sorts of posts we would get from Phinny if he was jacked up on painkillers or zonked out on medicinal cannabis.

Josh and I are going fishing this spring, while theymos, that COCKING FUCKBOROUGH MUTHAFUCKING SNAKEZ ON A MUTHAFUCKING PLANE can lick my balls for banning be for 10 days over two years ago.

Seriously, Advil seems to be doing the trick. Wrist should heal first, since it's just a slight sprain, whereas the ribs (still pretty sure it's two) will definitely take longer, but may not impede me to move some wood when need be, learning if such is the case later today. As far as my left cheek is concerned, that bastard is bruised (internally) more than I first thought, learning it's more pronounced when I lifted myself outta the chair last night after an internet session. Now, here I sit on the porcelain throng feeling strongly uncomfortable on the left side, can't wait to get into a cushioned chair.

On a side note, last week my sister took my Caddy to Indy and cracked a rib on the armrest while reaching back to grab something from the back seat. No longer handling hundreds of emails a day and taking care of customer service as it pertains to shipping (yes, one person did what some Bitcoin entities can't seem to do with a supposedly complemented staff), she's now in charge of the entire warehouse and will probably (actually, no probably about it) be moving shit on a daily basis during the healing process.

I want my mommy! Why did she have to die of cancer at the age of 39? Life sucks!!! Dank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're already starting to see Bitcoin ATM's (or whatever the hell you want to call them), so my question is: when will we start seeing vending machines that accept Bitcoins? Or are they already in existence and I've been living under a rock the past few years?

I'm just fascinated by seeing Bitcoins enter the public sphere with things like ATM's. Considering still that most people don't know what the hell Bitcoins are.

Buying things from a vending machine using BTC is a very realistic possibility, but not until later down the line. Having said that I think that in the meantime it would make a great novelty in London.

Speaking of novelty: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=308175.0

I still say it'll be a great novelty item to have at BitPay's office in Atlanta, home of Coca-Cola.

And some more for Phinn to review:

From: Andrew

Hello Rassah,

My name is Andrew, and I am contacting you today on behalf of Circadian Sleep Disorders Network. We are a 501c3, all-volunteer organization. I personally am currently in discussion with the board for us to add Bitcoin as a payment option for donations and membership dues.

Our Mission Statement: Circadian Sleep Disorders Network is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with chronic circadian rhythm disorders.
We aim to increase awareness within the medical community and among the general public, to provide emotional support and practical ideas for people living with these disorders, to encourage research into circadian rhythms, and to advocate for accommodations in education and employment for people with circadian rhythm sleep disorders.

Website link: http://www.circadiansleepdisorders.org/

If Bitcoin100 is able to help us with a donation, it will not only tremendously help our cause, but it will help me to assuage the board's reservations on Bitcoin.

Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. 
Best Regards,
Andrew Wall
Member, Board of Directors
Circadian Sleep Disorders Network

And, they look fine as well, Rassah.

Hi Rassa,

A twitter follower of ours sent me a link to the SPCA's BC store
front. He has been slowly talking to the bosses about accepting
bitcoin and in the shopping cart shopify system they use he was able
to at least sell the shops new shirts and take general donations for
bitcoin. He noted that his bosses are still not to hot on promoting
bitcoin on the site and having a donation widget on the main page. I
can appreciate his patience with the upper brass but maybe Bitcoin100
would like to help get the ball rolling.

I find this to be a very worth wile charity but maybe they don't fit
your criteria. I would understand in that's the case but here is the
twitter accounts of the pro bitcoin employee..

https://twitter.com/ChrisBrett

And the general donation item can be found at http://shop.spca.bc.ca/

I don't think the main twitter account has been actively promoting
bitcoin but this account is part of Chris Brett's department.

https://twitter.com/pawsforacause

Thanks again for all you do, if you need help getting looped in with
Chris let me know.

Best,
Drew

Checked them out. They seem fine. I'd say go ahead. Phinneas?

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for all the help to date, and let me know if there is anything else I can do in the future for Bitcoin100.

I sent the donation before checking whether their bitcoin donation page has a link from their main page. I can't find one. My mistake. I contacted Brock and asked him to fix that. I'm confident he will.

Our charity provides safe homes and a great life for homeless children in Bolivia.  In our first day accepting bitcoins the community gave enough to support a child in a home for one month!  So impressed with the bitcoin community.  Hope to get added to Bitcoin 100 - www.kayachildren.org/bitcoin

Hi. Since Phinneas seems to be busy, I went ahead and checked out your charity. Everything seems fine, so $1,000 donation has been sent

Hey guys,

Ballet Pensacola a non-profit professional dance company in Pensacola is now accepting bitcoin for donations. I just got them setup today.

Here is the link to their website...

http://www.balletpensacola.com/?page_id=1388

They are a registered 501c3 and have been in business for over 35 years.

Can we get them some Bitcoin100 love?

Very funny, Jason. Did you go outta you way to hunt them down?



They pass, but I'm warning you, the next time you pull a stunt like this...

Also this

my name is Romy and I am from Berlin, Germany. I work for a NGO which helps children from arabian countries to get free tutoring. I really would like to know how to register for bitcoin100.
Our website:http://www.schuelerpaten-berlin.de/index.php
I really really appreciate the help.

Thank you!!


Romy

To me, it looks like Romy is asking how to register for Bitcoin 100 seeing how her venerable cause can get endowed, even though her site's been accepting bitcoins since at least November of last year.

Aloha,

My name is Elyse and I work with a non-profit organization called the International Tea Farms Alliance (www.teafarms.org). We are in the process of restructuring the organization and website and we are very interested in taking Bitcoin as donations.

The mission of the non-profit is to create a bridge between tea growers and tea lovers. Funds are used to host International Tea Festivals where tea growers travel around the world to connect with each other, collaborate, and provide education and transparency to tea lovers (consumers).

I met Bruno (phinnaeus gage) at Inside Bitcoins in Las Vegas and he told me all about your effort and advocacy for Bitcoin, and I love it, and want to get involved in any way.

The non-profit is based in Japan, I hope that isn't a problem.

Look forward to hearing back,

--
Elyse Petersen
Founder, Tealet

I'm going to have to offer up a full disclosure statement on this one.

I did meet with Elyse in LV, and if anybody looks at pics from the Inside Bitcoins conference, she'll be the one with pinkish hair. Rumor has it that there were some crazily dressed people in attendance.  Roll Eyes

At any rate, she told me about her tea org, whereupon I expressed to her to contact us publicly, i.e. this forum/this quote (above), and that she wouldn't have any problem getting endowed, this in spite of the fact that she was already a Bitcoiner, but I believing, in my mind, at the time, fairly new. Later, I learnt she was a Bitcoiner longer than I envisioned via Google.

Bottomline, all else is fine with her and her tea org, and warrants an endowment due mainly to my word to her that she would have no problem obtaining such.

I duly hope that this doesn't affect her chances, requesting, again, a little latitude in this regard.

Beside that particular conversation, and one other later between her, I and Josh, I had/have no other relationship with her.

That's that for full disclosure, Rassah, and if nobody objects within the next couple days, please take of this matter.

Thank you.
