i'm sort of digging on this new show "fargo". i'm not sure if it is a regular show or a mini series, though? wasn't clear to me. hopefully it stays for a while, i like it. i'm a big "the walking dead" fan as well.

i think it's only a 1 season mini series.. not a show. doubt the big name actors they have would want to return for multiple seasons. it's kind of like true detective, i'd say.

orange is the new black is.. back! and damn, i forgot how great of a show it is.. it's a little zany but at the same time has some realism where you feel for the characters. i'd say it's among my favorite shows.

Rand Paul: Trade Hillary Clinton To The Taliban, Not Guantanamo Detainees

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/06/rand-paul-taliban_n_5462065.html
He sure as hell does. His squad comes up w/ zingers that rival what Team Palin come up with. Rand is just foaming at the mouth to pick Hillary apart and that's what is quite appealing in him as mainstream donors get to know him.

eh i wish this didn't happen, from either side... but seems like republicans do it more. they turn it into some media circus.. sometimes i feel the crazy shit politicians say is just for entertainment/distraction.

I have been pretty happy with Coinbase, I have spoken with them multiple times and the said my bank gave them a NSF so technically they didn't cancel it. I was moving money around so maybe it happened just at the exact right time to not go through.

Other than that I am up to 9 coins with average cost of 518, so I feel like I'm doing pretty good. Total just under 4700 spent


I might look into ANXPRO to diversify a little when/if I decide to buy more coins

congrats.. holding 10ish coins for a few years might turn out to be a lot more than you put in. it's something like a $5,000 lottery ticket with much, much better odds.

Dear anti California morons:

1) If California was a separate country, it would have a GDP of $2.2 trillion. This is larger than Russia's $2 trillion GDP. CA is a really a large country and therefore throws around lots of money.

2) The reason's California's tax situation is screwed up is because about 30% of every Californian's federal tax dollars go to some moocher red state to keep their taxes low. California hemorrhages billions per year to the other states.

3) Every UC is ranked in the world's top 200 Universities and any resident graduating from a state JC can gain admittance to one of the state universities.

4) Compare how trashy the roads are in CA as compared to other states.


Here are my guesses on why CA is interested in BTC:

1) CA has always been on the leading edge of most tech trends.

2) When you pay the state for something and use your credit card, CA adds the merchant fee on top of that. Imagine if CA allowed BTC to be used instead.

3) Look at the green angle. Every BTC transaction is documented. How much paperwork and labor would you save?

4) CA embracing BTC would goose the BTC startups in the state.

5) IMHO Ca is bank agnostic unlike NY.

6) If you eliminated cc fees in a state the size of CA, you are literally putting 10's of billions of dollars back into the hands of people. Instant bump in the state GDP.

yeah, i know a lot of people who complain about california.. i don't think it's that bad. if you don't like it, make plans to leave. no one is stopping you.

if i remember correctly, california has balanced its budget. so no, i don't think they are in debt. it's also at the forefront of EPA standards, which is good for the environment.

cool, i think i'd take the car over the $10,000.. either way, you'd have to pay capital gains taxes, and the car is probably worth more than $10k.

who doesn't wish that? i would have bought at $400 if i had the money at the time. i don't really regret it though, since i didn't have hte money at the time.

i reiterate.. if you guys hail satoshi as some forefather of the bitcion movement, and love him profusely, why would you choose to go against his wishes (which is to remain anonymous)? doesn't make sense to me.

Lol.  I think he means it's a diseased culture of deviants and other misfits, who aren't particularly supportive or knowledgable about business.

there are quite a bit of freaks in california, but i still don't see how that ties uniquely to the state's government.

Seriously! You don't see how the diseased voting public ties to the state government? Let me put it this way, our governor used to be the terminator. These dumbasses will vote for anyone and anything.

just because arnie was the terminator does not necessarily make him a good or bad governer.. imo that's just ad hominem logic. i mean, our president was known as an actor before taking his seat.

1576  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: wallet recovery on: June 06, 2014, 11:33:32 PM
I don't know if I was hacked or what, Turned on computer checked email don't think I opened anything, check Bitcoin prices closed all windows logged off. Last thing I saw was installing updates, nothing strange there happen a couple times a week sometimes not at all for a week I have my updates set to only install important updates. Anyway I got home turned on my computer and all I got was a black screen with the words in plain text "No Operating system". I didn't have a fortune but enough to make me want to throw things. My computer 2 1/2 years old and never crashed, I run Norton 360 and as far as I know it's done a good job. I put the password in a encrypted partition, gone...I have the wallet info file,and the wallet cipher file but since I created the wallet to hold funds for 48 hours or so I wasn't as diligent and accidentally backed up the shortcut, (probably 'cause I did it then went straight to bed) can I recover this wallet?

you can still recover it without issue.. if it's a 2.5" (lapto) hard drive, you can buy an enclosure for $5 or so.. or if it's a desktop hard drive, you can hook it up to another computer.

then again, you might be experiencing hard drive failure, in which case you'd be SOL.

I'm not really sure what this means, or rather, if it means anything at all.  I'm not an attorney nor do I play one on the internet, but as far as I know US citizens, including those in California, do not need permission from the state of California to use bitcoin.  So it would be a little like California passing a law that says it's legal to watch TV.  That's nice and all but doesn't really mean anything as you could already do that anyway (actually, if I were a citizen of California I would be somewhat concerned that the state thinks the default position is something is illegal until they grant permission but that is a topic for another day).  
What would be useful for tax purposes at least would be if it was declared actual currency, but then the state of California does not have the authority to do that (the US Constitution is very specific, and the Supreme Court has consistently ruled, that only Congress can do that).  


Don't try to understand it. Just realize that California is a massive freak show and if any state can fuck something up it's California. You want proof that California is a freak show? Two weeks ago I was having dinner at the Boulevard (a fairly nice restaurant). I went to the restroom and, while standing at a stall, the guy next to me asked if he could suck my dick. I pretty open minded, considering where I live, so I simply responded, "no thanks". He then asked if I could give him $20 because he was short of cash to pay for his food. I said no and found the manager to report the incident. The manager said, "what do you expect me to do about it, he didn't really do anything wrong". California is a fucking freak show and no one here is willing to do anything about it.

i don't know what a guy wanting to suck your dick in a bathroom stall has to do with california and its regulations.

hell, if you were a gay dude into getting BJs, $20 is a steal  Cheesy

btw, on girlsgonebitcoin or whatever subreddit it was, there was laready a guy who posted pictures of his ass with a bra on, and after all these guys beated off to it and flirted with him, he revealed that he wasn't a chick. everyone had a laugh, except for the guys who got all hot and horny over a dude's ass.
