I don't think low value gems are even worth the trouble to fake. No one is going to make a doublet for a twenty or thirty dollar stone.
Either way, the garnets I received from c0ffer were indeed garnets.

I am still trying to figure out how they found a pre-op picture of me...

As a Ukrainian, it's not "the Ukraine" any more than America is "the America"
I don't know why people started calling it that, but people of that nation find it weird and slightly degrading.
Also, totally agree about their comparatively shitty quality of medicine, life, crime, corruption etc.
I think it's because a lot of us grew up during the cold war when former soviet block borders were about as steady as a five year old's handwriting. They shouldn't take it personally. |

If this was star rose quartz in a cabochon, I would be all over it. I apparently need to keep better track of these auctions.
I finally got the chance to check out those garnets I won. Beautiful.

Maybe it should replace the names with 'Unremorsefully Atlas' ?

My suggestions for alternatives were supposed to all not be good ones. I was showing a basket of similar ideas as far as the trouble you would have to go through to exist in them.
Sorry I made the assumption about the independence from the government thing. I thought that was the point. I am interested in how you could effectively use the ocean for food production that would be more effective than lets say in a desert climate.
By the way, I am not too shabby for a novice sailor, thank you very much.
Aquaculture. Seriously though, there are millions of people already who just sail around aimlessly, and plenty of them are flat broke. You know how much it costs to throw an anchor down? Nothin'. We're talking about creating a cooperative doing the same, which would be a lot easier than soloing it. |

I personally believe that 7 billion is well above the carrying capacity of earth, and the first to innovate and shed complete dependence on farmland will prosper immensely in the end. I could give a rat's ass about the government in the big picture, really. The counter examples provided are all retarded: * The moon - is the fucking moon. * Space in general - might as well be the fucking moon. * Under the ocean -  * In the middle of the Sahara (yes part of nations, but I don't think anyone would care) - inhospitable * North or south pole - inhospitable * Somalia - I like both food and not having my family raped and mutilated in front of me. This 'absurd logistical nightmare' is the life that millions of people lead already. I don't think you know much about sailing, yachting or boating in general. |

Seriously? You aren't joking or trolling? You can't see the benefit of a mobile city free from all government interference?

It looks like the clowns at SA have finally thrown in the towel on their very unfunny "comedy" troll thread.
Lets make a pact everyone? If BTC's ever go to 1000K, lets pull a few coins together, buy out their shitty forum, and ban everyone in it.
Now that would be some comedy fucking gold. "I'm gonna get rich, then you're so going to regret picking on me." Really? That's what it's come down to? Don't get your panty's all up in a bunch LOL. Why the fuck are yall so worried for anyways? Based on SA's calculations BTC should be worth about $.0010 right now, and def not a threat of ever reaching 100USD by any standards. WHY YOU SCARED BRAH? LOL  I could be way off base here, but something tells me that the entirety of all somethingawful forum users is not inherently against bitcoin, but moreso against idiots claiming bitcoin is the savior of humanity-- and that they can start a movie theater on will power alone. Some goons use bitcoin. Some goons (at least 6) were trying to convince everyone that I was some kind of a lying scammer. I learned that it was by my horrid presentation that made them think this way, accepted it as constructive criticism and moved on. Anyone doing anything other than that is obviously butthurt and don't know how to argue their points and/or walk away. I was definitely one of your major detractors in the beginning...now you are one of my favorite posters on this forum. Wanna run away to pattaya together? |

We can go pick up the Sea Shadow for free as long as we take the 100m+ dry dock barge it is housed in. The government has been trying to pawn it off on someone for years now. That is a huge dry dock with displacement for millions of pounds of cargo and a low radar profile stealth ship. Who's in?  e:poor me, I have been away so long I had trouble with my brackets... |

And a laundrymat. The escort boat needs a laundrymat.
I am pretty sure that sea-law dictates that you can only wear one change of clothes, and you wash them by jumping in the water. That's what I always did, anyways. You also brush your teeth with rum. |

My prediction is that they will release some form of a 'square' knockoff allowing anyone to accept credit cards with a smart phone or the like. Pay me for my scrying tomorrow.

I was just tossing some thoughts out there as well, please don't think I am criticizing or anything.
Regarding the transfer/crossing from one vessel to another: when we needed to move equipment, we either ran lines and 'tyrolean'ed' it across using our trawling A-frames (which most boats don't have), or if it was calm enough, pulled close enough to make the leap. I have seen 30,000lb lines snap trying to keep two trawlers close in high seas. It's scary, and everyone involved runs a serious risk of being crushed between the boats or losing a limb when a line pops. I don't know that anyone has solved the problem. Even with the coast guard and fish and game who do it all day everyday, it was always a big clusterfuck endangering everyone.
So, next question: How do we get $100mil for the sub and 5 years of maintenance?

awesome management Phinnaeus Gage you really got the ball rolling Regarding the archive.org, i'm still a little confused by all the events. CoinLab posted the link to a thread announcing archive.org already taking bitcoin donations after some member of our forum had posted comments on their blog regarding bitcoin. Seems like it caught their attention. I may be obvious on this but not even one Bitcoin100 pledger or spokesman had something to do with them doing that. We didn't see any emails made public either. I think we should get some real work done on charities less wiling to accept bitcoin donations, not taking any credit in the process on those we didn't do nothing. I agree that we should be using these stacked wallets as a dangling carrot for groups to begin accepting bitcoin, but I am rather indifferent to where this first one goes. I think Phinnaeus started a good thing, and it'll keep chugging along as more people discover it. Archive.org is already raking it in at a decent clip. It'll be great to point at them and say, "Look how well it's working for them!". Whether this first wallet goes to them or not, the point will be made. |

That is a really great line up. I can't wait to see the amount of people reselling the Bundle for Bitcoin next week or so. Noticed a tweet from Meat Boy, poor guys, hope everyone supports a good cause Just noticed a torrent site posted an update for Super Meat Boy Why pirate when you can get it for a reasonable price http://www.humblebundle.com/!/lopert/status/146948468886343680 That is unfortunate. I am all for piracy, but don't be dicks about it. |
