wait wait this comming from the guy who would nitpick random facts about KNCMiner, comming up with the most absurd theories, and goes on to say BFL is assembling 400 units/day because well you know JOSH said so. Have you lost your mind, or your account hacked?
 sarcasm is turned on high bro  I think it was turned on high w/ bass boost, equalizer settings all the way up, and it blew out the speakers. You laugh now, but just wait and see what BFL has in store come Q4/13. We may all had a good laugh at BFL and Josh's expense, but look who's laughin' now--them! Ain't it amazin' how they slipped that full-production right beneath our eyes? Nobody saw it coming. Well-played BFL! Well-played! ~Bruno Kučinskas~ PS: For those keeping score at home, the following is the number of units assembled and shipped since July 4, 2013, and yes they did work on a holiday. July 4, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 5, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 6, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 7, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 8, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 9, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 10, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 11, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 12, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 13, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 14, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 15, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 16, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 17, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 18, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 19, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 20, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 21, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 22, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 23, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 24, 2013 ~ 400 Units July 25, 2013 ~ 400 Units (to be shipped tomorrow morning) You guys don't know how it feels to be no longer considered a liar by Josh, for if there was anything in this thread that was a lie, he would sure be here to stick it up my ass. I'm glad those days over, although I sometimes miss the banter with that little prick (insert smiley here). In closing, one simple question: During your first meeting, Josh, with the person everybody here, including yourself, knew as Sonny K., did you happen to recall his last name? Apologies for being a little pest on this, but that simple questions has been asked of you from day one following your first encounter with Sonny K. We all understand how sometimes questions get passed up accidently (busy schedule and all) and pretty sure that that was the case with this simple question not yet being addressed. But now that full production is in full swing, the pressure's probably off, allowing you to supply the simple answer. I'm sure you know how monumental assholes could be sometimes. Been there, seen that! |

On the up side: No tinea / athlete's foot. On the down side: Urine on the street. (Note: couldn't read article without subscription) By Vivian Ho
July 11, 2013
It's a whiff as familiar to San Francisco as marijuana in a park on a nice day.
From the UN Plaza to the Mission District, Market Street to Polk, the Tenderloin to the Haight, San Franciscans are forced to navigate the nose-wrinkling, dry-heaving olfactory land mines of urine-splattered sidewalks on a daily basis.
The Board of Supervisors passed legislation banning public urination in 2002, but fresh yellow puddles on the pavement say the culprits prefer to answer the law of nature over the law of the city.
It's up to the police to enforce the public urination ban, which is punishable with a citation ranging anywhere from $50 to $500.
But quality-of-life infractions like public urination require that police officers see the crime happening in order to issue a citation, said police spokesman Sgt. Dennis Toomer - a serious limitation when it comes to enforcement.
Video won't cut it, nor will eyewitness complaints. Toomer said he doesn't know how many citations police issue a year.
"We know it's a problem and we're out there - our foot beats and our mobile patrol units - we're out there trying to enforce these kinds of violations," he said. "When we do spot something, we take action on it, but we have limitations. We're trying our best."
The constant acrid stench all over the city says the citations aren't much of a deterrent. Between Jan. 1 and June 30 of this year, the Department of Public Works received 5,636 requests for steam-cleaning sidewalk service, the majority of which were for human waste, said spokeswoman Rachel Gordon.
Although care of sidewalks falls to property owners, the Department of Public Works will provide steam cleanings when requested by private property owners because public urination and defecation is a public health issue, Gordon said.
Paul Chinn, The Chronicle
Stephen Lee from the Department of Public Works sprays a disinfectant before steam cleaning a sidewalk on Jessie Street near Sixth Street in S.F., an area that produces the most requests for sidewalk cleaning.
More than 3,000 of the requests over the past six months were concentrated in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods, with the Mission District following with 1,251 requests and 513 requests coming out of the northern neighborhoods of Chinatown, North Beach and the Marina.
Gordon said anyone with a problem sidewalk should call 311, and the department will send workers out within 48 hours.
As most things go in San Francisco, the 2002 ban on public urination didn't go through without a fight. A big issue with the ban was that there weren't enough public restrooms in the city.
But others also argued that some people will continue to urinate outside, no matter what's available. "We know it's a stinky problem for the city," Gordon said. "No one likes it. It's not good for the residents, the tourists or the people who work here. Unfortunately, it's a part of urban living that people will relieve themselves in less than ideal places."
What's not working
Issue: Sidewalks all over San Francisco reek because people urinate on them.
What's been done: The Board of Supervisors passed a law banning public urination in 2002, but officers can only issue citations for the offense if they catch the person in the act. As for cleaning, private property owners are responsible for the sidewalks in front of their buildings, but the Department of Public Works offers steam cleaning upon request.
Who's responsible: Police Chief Greg Suhr - (415) 553-1551, greg.suhr@sfgov.org

This thread is like this guy's diary. It's out of control.
It's spelled 'diarrhea'  87 pages 1,700 posts 16,000 pageviews all within 2 weeks. How the hell did I miss this? |

The same crossed my mind a few days ago. The piece is well written. I've always stated that I could go to Detroit flat broke and emerge two years later with a million dollars in my pocket--and it's still possible. Done correctly, Detroit could be a world-class laissez faire city within ten years. |

Dude, you can't count weekends! I'm sure they don't work on Saturday and Sunday.
So since July 24, there have only been 15 BUSINESS days, that's only 6,000 units shipped!
That's a difference of 2,000!
Josh said they are working weekends. Others will be here to confirm that statement. |

I noticed some odd peculiarity with the ongoing diatribes here, and I have to say, if it weren't for all the free time waiting for my BFL box, I wouldn't have come to realize this. - Copy the full text from any post from Phinnaeus or inaba
- Run by SHA256
The resulting hash always includes the characters R-E-D-R-U-M in some position along the string. Phinnaeus Gage IS inaba!Wait one damn minute! All because I have an Honest Abe totem pole in my yard doesn't mean... Oh, you want to see the totem pole? Give me a sec. BRB! Here it is, with Honest Abe holding the first edition of Bitcoin Magazine, propped in place by a piece of barn wood I stole last night.  |

The identity of the person behind Zombo.com has been found and his/her name will be released to the public unless a $1M ranson is paid via Bitcoin. Two Bitcoin addresses have been set up: One, if you don't want the name released, and the other is you do. Once a total of one millions dollars worth of votes have been cast, the winning side will be honored. If the tally dictates no, then the information will be destroyed, probably rolled into a blunt and smoked by Dank. If the winning side is yes, then the information will be released from an undisclosed location in Kansas City that has a windmill on their property. All the money received WILL be donated to a charity sans operating fees, currently at 40%-65%.

Was it Thanksgiving? I thought it was Christmas?!?!
Maybe New Years Day?
All back orders shipped by Presidents Day or Bust!
Yeah, but we didnt say what year! Semantics aside, Josh implied Thanksgiving of this year, 2013. I, too, once thought he was a liar until he posted my home address from a private PM I sent him I took an arrow to the knee. It still amazes me to see all the positive feedback given on the following thread (linked) by those who've recently received one of them 8,000+ units assembled and shipped out over the course of the past three weeks: It pleases me to no end to no longer have a nemesis to play with. God's speed, BFL. ~Bruno Kučinskas~ |

Last update from Jody: BFL_Jody
Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Shipping Update
by BFL_Jody , 07-24-2013 at 08:05 PM (2179 Views)
Jalapenos through November 8, 2012.
Little Singles: None shipped today. Stopped on June 25, 2012 orders.
Singles: June 23, 2012
MiniRigs June 23, 2012
I'm not going to comment on when I think we will have everything shipped, because I don't know. I am trying to stick to the facts here and not add anything to that. Thank you to the many who write to encourage us. You know who you are. Can't think of anything else to write today. Wow! 400 units and none of them Jalapenos. According to Josh, all units on backorder will be shipped before Thanksgiving. Thank you, BFL, for playing your part in protecting the network and providing such a viable service and products. At the current rate, I see no problem with such not getting accomplished, for simple mathz dictates Josh is correct in his assessment. BFL is on record in stating that all is well since going into full production and that they foresee no unforeseen problems in keeping up with their current pace. I sure would hate to be a KC postal worker working the part of town that BFL is located. Them must be some very pissed-off workers. One simple question: How come Sonny K. no longer posts here or on BFL's official forum, or sends out emails anymore? (apologies if the question is a tad complex) That dude was the bee's knees when he was around. |

Haha this is so awesome. Quoting it so you can't go back and change it later.
PS - Why are you so obsessed with jizz? I always get obsessed when I learnt a new word. I believe that every mod and admin would tell you that I have not deleted a single one of my post nor edited any with the exception of correcting minor grammar errors. Did you see the new thread I posted in Custom Hardware? I shed a nice light on BFL. Seriously! I did! When you see it, feel free to comment on it, along with answering the one, and only one, simple question I asked. Chances are, because of my write-up, BFL shouldn't receive another refund request, coupled with garnering more sales. You're welcome--in advance. God's speed!
