today's airspace over america and over europe...   I remember back in the late 90's finding out they were still using windows 3.11 and being shocked that not only they were using such an old Os but that they relied on Microcrap to begin with so I have just been waiting for this day. *I think it was while we were doing the Y2K rollout. |

I don’t know but my work place and my circle are all brand conscious dudes (none of them in bitcoin, except for one or two) so not upgrading to the latest iPhone kinda feels left out.
Just recently upgraded to iPhone 14 from a perfectly working 13 and wasted $490 for the device + protector and case another $50.
Clearly this is not the way.
Then you will feel the FOMO essentially forever, as the tech cycle treadmill of always having to be on the latest and greatest never ends. Break the cycle, gain control of what you feel is important. Not living up to everyone else's expectations is liberation. -------------------------- I remember the early years of working in corporate America. Everyone looked the same, dressed in the same bland styles, trends and brands, and always had to be on the latest smartphone, tablet, and other tech gadgets. I got caught up in that too, for many many years. I remember the style trend was increasingly heading dressing down, more and more casual to work. One day in my late twenties, I said fuck it. I'm going to dress in my OWN style of clothing to work, and not in everyone else's blandness. Which incidentally, was set to a higher standard of quality and sophistication than what most men were wearing to the office. I started wearing a nice wristwatch, nice pressed dress shirts and ties, dress pants, nice blazers and overcoats, and higher end dress shoes. I felt a little out of place for a while, and other male colleagues would definitely give me weird side eye from time to time. I was in IT, but probably looked more like an executive or corporate lawyer. But at least I felt liberated and was happier. Then one day as a meeting let out, a woman co-worker of mine (who I thought was very attractive) and I were left in a meeting room alone chatting about various life things. As we gathered our stuff and started to get up to leave, out of the blue she turns to me and says, "You know, I always thought that you are definitely one of the better dressed men in this whole company." She smiled, I mumbled a "thank you" or something, and then she walked away. (btw, we were both married at the time, so I don't believe she was hitting on me or anything.) At that moment, I knew I had been on the right track for doing my own thing.  When I went to my first interview for a company called digital right after getting my degree there was 150 people all dressed the same. Black suit white shirt and black tie. I looked at the sea of fools, turned around and walked out, and started my own business. I was wearing a tee shirt and jeans and there was no way I was going to wear a monkey suit to work. My P30 Pro is the best smartphone I've ever owned. The only "issue" with Huawei phones is that the latest models don't support Google Services (Play Store, Maps, YouTube, etc.). In fact, the P30 Pro is the last phone that is allowed to use them. This can be a big issue for many. There are some solutions to this, but the user experience is lacking compared to the real thing.
I'll have to look into getting one of these when I need a new on as it took me forever to de-google my last one. |

Never a dull day at MtGox HQ. The DDoSers must be milking every last chance before the big exchanges at CoinLab and CoinSetter arrive, and before BitStamp gets bigger. Once there is more than one big exchange, DDoS of any one will have much less effect. Meanwhile the entire system grows stronger every time it is attacked, with the attackers being rewarded for their services in strengthening the system, effectively paving the way for further growth.

Without the attacks that have been occurring at a billion-dollar market cap, Bitcoin wouldn't be ready for the kinds of attacks that will come at ten and a hundred billion dollars.
Bye bye. |

Thanks dude, you did a great job organizing the league and I am glad we could resolve this without any issue.
This is the outcome when adults deal with a problem, no-one is completely happy but no-one is screwed totally. |

I did bang a chick on her dads pool table when I was a kid and still have the scars on my knees, I don't recommend it.
*Left with her frantically trying to scrubbing off the smooge
Good lord! Thats very naughty! Did you play her Dad a round of eight ball after the fact with a smirk on your face? Never met him I was a private and he was a Colonel. I have a buddy that broke his dads pool table banging a one night stand.
Hah, thats one shitty table.  |

Interesting...I can think of other uses... (oh jeezus... I'm watching too much porn...)
Hah, I wanted one to use as a bed like in a movie I saw as a kid when I was young, think is was a Rutger Hauer flick Bounty hunter or some such thing.

To me, sirazimuth seems more like a ping-pong kind of a guy. #nohomo
....
Indeed... I used to ping, now I like to pong.... #nohomo
Oh ffs greekman, satire or not... no one is gonna read that shit. Who fucking cares. Just throw a pool table in there and drop a ping/pong ontop when you want. I haven't used my pool table since New Years party 2010 so be aware it may just end up taking space and gathering dust. I'm thinking of using it for a base for a large 3d printer. |

So if Hueristic agrees to a tie as well we can say this issue is settled and each one can send their bitcoin address to DireWolfM14.
The only remaining issue, even if it is a small one, is that assuming we declare the game a tie yahoo still recognized me as the champion, it would be nice if Hueristic could get the same recognition, but I doubt the platform has the tools to do this, since they were also struggling to figure out how to deal with this unexpected event.
Anyway there is not much else to say except this was a very weird and unsatisfactory way to end the FF season.
I'm not concerned what yahoo shows as this is a throwaway account I use for this league anyway and my other real one got the win anyway. As you said it was a bummer but I could not think of a better player to get a tie with, you played a great season and stuck it out and triumphed in the end. Even if I set the scores to 0-0 then I think it would set me as the winner as per pre playoff seeding. So if anyone is interested this is a good primer on how the NFL ALumni Acadamy is working with the XFL to provide players. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK8Z91ftQNYI'm checking into the leagues now and have found a site https://newshubfantasy.com and am checking it out. I'll probably join a xfl ff fun team just to get a hang of it this year. |

Well I was hoping the gD BE CONTINUED AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS BUT OF COURSE THATS NOT THE CASE.
Typeing on shit kybd at casino sry.
So I wont be home until maybe tomorrow, I left when the game got postponed.
This is obviousley unpresendated terrirtory as in the past it was assumed games would always be completeleted and have even when players have died. So the league is changing their stance without prior notification and are openeing themselfs up to liabilities which I don't doubt will e settled in court with big players.
Even Damar Hamlin asked who won after he woke up and was told what happened so there was even an expectation from him.
What really sucks besides the guy dropping dead is this had culmilated into one of the greatest matchups in fantasy to date. all the stars aligned for the top players to all be in a position to put up huge numbers. I was really expecting some massive numbers for my number one and 3 pick in this game and am pretty disappointed that we cant see an exiting end.
As Southpark offered I'm of the opinion a tie is the most appropriate outcome.
I guess we could play the gme next week if he wants and I would be fine with that but I relly dont know how playoff contentions and such would effect the play time next week and I have no way to check the teams as I don't have the password with me for the league.
Its weird I had this trepidation about this game and couldn't understand why as its not that important in the scheme of things but i just couldnt shake the thought of something i couldn't put my finger on.
Anyho this is the first game in history that a injury has effected and entire industry.

This is why I think it needs to be shifted to flag football or some variation of that until they reach college. I don't know how this will work, but I just don't think there will be any other choice.
This would be the most sensible choice, however so much money moves at the college level that it is difficult for me to see how this transition could play out, but at some point it has to happen as underage football players should have no business hitting each other at full speed when their bodies are still developing, and while the ability the body has to recover at that age is incredible, at the same time injuries slowly begin to accumulate, so it would be preferable this process started as late as possible, now it would be optimal if this process never started at all but on sports like football or boxing this is inevitable. Yeah I'm not sure how this could all play out but something needs to happen. I had no business play tackle football in 6th, 7th and 8th grade. As a running back I was getting mini-concussions pretty much every single practice and game and multiple times each practice and game. That's scary. The guy who discovered CTE said something like just three years of youth football increases once chance of suicide by like 40% ( or something very high like that). Maybe it's flag until you get to Jr and Sr year in high school, that could be a decent start? There's actually a good argument against this; I don't recall when or where I read it, but many years ago there was a study about injuries in football, and it suggested that high school and college football players that didn't play tackle football in Little League or didn't play tackle football in Jr. High were more prone to injuries than the ones who had been playing throughout their childhoods. Obviously the intentions are good, but often times when people meddle with things they don't understand it only makes things worse. Well, it looks like Yahoo has made the final decision for our league: Congrats to our Champion South Park, and our 2nd place Hueristic. When ever you guys have a chance, PM me your addresses and I'll send you the loot. If official NFL scoring changes impact the result of your Week 17 matchup, we will retroactively adjust Week 18 matchups to reflect the change.
Payouts for Private and Public Prize Leagues will not be processed until a final decision is made by the NFL on the Bills-Bengals game status.
League commissioners in private free leagues have the choice to make manual changes through their commissioner tools but we encourage commissioners to wait until the NFL makes a final decision on the game's status.
If your league has any active Week 18 playoff matchups, you should set your lineup as usual.
The Week 17 Bills-Bengals game is currently in a postponed state. As such, all stats accumulated hold as is for now (as per official NFL gamebook). https://sports.yahoo.com/week-17-18-fantasy-football-status-updates-011003705.htmlSry at casino and forgot to bring password gain. |

You make me want to both ignore you and merit you in every iteration, that is why you are so easy to spot.
Huh? Are you really implying that I’m some sort of machine? Hahahahahaha. Maybe the email I registered with on this forum is misleading, yo. I’ll take WO’s merits, anytime, even from the scumbags like you. And that is the one thing you have zero control over.
And neither do you, it’s not a human thing ya know. So much for your personal text, pfff, I’m pretty sure you never saw this coming. {lots of snips} The problem is … the problem is 80-90% of the posters in this thread. Here is a little teaser I came up with, +3 WO’s merit to whomever cracks it: “What do the users nutildah, xhomerx10, BitcoinGirl.Club, Hueristic, suchmoon, … and [probably others] … have in common? _ _ E . _ _ _ _ _ _ E _ _ . _ _ _ E . _ _ _ _ Four words, boyz n gals. Damn, did I kick you into your manic phase already? *this shit is getting too easy. |

Sounds like hes avoiding answering simple questions.
So is everybody else, so what? He doesn’t have to answer to anything, regardless if the coins were stolen or not. {snip} TPTB are coming for you heavy coiners, beware, and for ffs constantly educate yourselves because things are moving fast. How almost all hardware wallets can steal your seedYou make me want to both ignore you and merit you in every iteration, that is why you are so easy to spot. And that is the one thing you have zero control over.  |

I am torn on this because I would have been careful NOT to share information while the attack is going on and things like that, and then being publicly known makes it seem as if even additional precautions might be needed. Signed, truly torn. He brought it up. If he didn't want to talk about it then he shouldn't have tweeted about it for the whole goddamn world to see. |

I cursed Fields, literally texted a buddy right before he sprained his ankle. Sometimes reality is a scary place to live.  |
