Oh!  I almost forgot but there are a couple of hours left depending on where you are - Happy Canadian Clean Air Day everyone!   
 
 'That's why this year's theme is "Clean Air Everywhere".' LOL

 Sorry we had to send all that wildfire smoke down to New York.  We couldn't have it hanging around up here and ruining a Canadian tradition since 1999.


 

 Well, since I see that HI-TEC99 has posted some actual proof, there's no need for me to divulge my authoritative source. 

Breaking News!

 An authoritative source has informed me that the dust has finally settled on the defunct QuadrigaCX exchange and former customers are getting ~13% of their money/coins deposited back based on the values when the exchange went bust.

Edit: cheques are currently being delivered.

 5 golden riiiings!
 4 calling birds
 3 French hens
 2 fries-covered boobs
 and a partridge in a pear treeeeeEEE.


 I'm also dancing... just trying to make sure you get your merit's worth

 Edit: maybe it should have been merits' worth... my grammatical proficiency is diminishing at an inverse proportion to my age. 

  That must be Carolina.

Had a 24 hour free trial - t3enz0 was very helpful and quick to respond.  I tested with Kodi, VLC and IPTVSmarters.   Turns out that VLC choked on the playlist which I'm sure is due to sheer size.  Kodi handled it but I found that editing the playlist was impossible (memory usage was 2.5gigs in Win10).  Smarters is okay... very quick with the channel list but I had some issues with blank screens and audio only and also some of the VOD wouldn't play (though the same ones would play in Kodi)

 That being said, I'm trying it out for 3 months on a pared-down playlist (t3nz0 modified the playlist on my request).  VLC and Kodi are great with the smaller list.  I've also tried it with the Tivimate app and it's awesome. I might have to try the full playlist in Tivimate because I am impressed.  TBD.


edit: I should clarify that SimpleIPTV (in KODI) and VLC were never designed for large playlists.  Once my 3 month was up with no issues, I did another 6 month.

 Jimbo's probably enjoying his lake and barbecuing up some steaks since we had some record high temps last week - one day we broke a 75 year-old record.

 No but 21 X 10⁶ is one of my faves.

 Never before seen footage of the "crypto" exchanges opening on June 1st in Hong Kong.

My dude...




 I believe the trope goes - "There's no bitcoin in a Bitcoin ATM"   

 I bought my parents a new 40" Sony Bravia flatscreen many years ago and we tried to give away their old 32" tube TV but nobody wanted it; not even the coptic Christian refugees the church was resettling in the area who were starting out all over again.  We called a scrap dealer and he said he'd come and get it - we just had to put it on the porch.  I looked it up and it weighed 198lbs; it took two of us to carry it out to the porch.  Only one guy showed up with the truck to get it so I went out to give him a hand and the guy waved me off, bent down and picked it up like it was nothing.

 You misunderstand.  The city of New York has decided to begin de-banking itself.  The city of New York will freeze its own deposits to Citi (108 accounts) and Key (3 accounts) banks.  This doesn't apply to citizens of NYC.

 NYC doesn't have any money anyway; they're always on the verge of bankruptcy and it's only getting worse.  Capital One makes 20 billion a year - I can't imagine they gaf about NYC's paltry deposits.

Come and follow the latest news about cryptocurrency trading. The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission announced today that all preparations for virtual asset transactions in Hong Kong are basically in place. From June 1st, the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission will begin to accept applications for virtual asset trading platforms. The guidelines applicable to operators of virtual asset trading platforms will come into effect on June 1, 2023. Platform operators who are providing or intend to provide services related to virtual asset trading in Hong Kong must apply for a license from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission. Virtual asset trading platforms that are currently operating in Hong Kong need to apply within nine months after June 1, and they can continue to operate in Hong Kong only after they are approved. Operators who have no intention of applying for a license should proceed to wind down their operations in Hong Kong in an orderly manner. The first is, uh, we have seen in the past, uh, in terms of network security, this is a very important adjustment to the fare, and the second is the protection of customers' assets, their storage, and how to deal with them online. The third point is of course, uh, conflict of interest, because this platform is for seeing customers place orders, so we still pay special attention to their internal control, uh, conflict of interest. Cai Zhonghui also emphasized that although the relevant system will come into effect on June 1 this year, the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission has not yet approved any virtual asset trading platform to provide services to retail investors, and most of the existing virtual asset trading platforms accessible to the public are not Regulated by the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission.

edit: I believe this is what was said in the video.

 Oh man!  Now I finally understand that scene in Crocodile Dundee!

 I loved that movie!

 My no- and never-coiner friends and acquaintances are exactly like that!  Every time bitcoin makes a new ATH, I get texts galore asking if I still have mine... my coins I mean.

 Appreciate the warning but you're too late.  I don't want to talk about it.
