Imagine you actually could make some as big as you want, and at will. Would you refrain yourself from doing it? I bet you wouldn't. You'd make some because diamonds are cool and pretty. Humans love to make things, regardless of whether it has value or not. It just has to be fun, cool, or beautiful. And because sometimes the value is not in the product, it's in the act of making it. If someone could figure out a way of making a car-sized diamond, I'm pretty sure someone would actually do it. It all boils down to opportunity cost. MAYBE someone could make a car sized diamond with a total of X hours of extended work effort and the cost of Y resources. The question is this: Are X hours of effort and Y resources really the best spent on making a car sized diamond? Or should we rather spend the X hours and Y resources on curing cancer? Or making a super weapon to rule the world? Or make cars that run without fossil fuels? Just because it can be done does not mean it will be done. It will be done when someone in control of the required effort, skills and resources thinks its the best way to spend the effort necessary to do so. |

Realistically this is what would happen:

The huge steel block you put on the carbon would simply deform under the 600,000,000kg pressure.
What you will get is carbon pressed into your steel block. Which actually is a really interesting material, but not diamond.
If you would make the top of the press a water tank and fill it with water the rod below it will simply puncture the tank and the water will flow out.

btcANGEL points out a very important point:
Women (as well as men) have - strongly simplified - 2 layers of decision making. The conscious and the subconscious level. The conscious is easy: these are the things you think of and can logically explain. It's the conscious part of their brain that when posed the question: "what do you look for in a guy" answers things like "I want him to be kind and intelligent, honest and a good listener".
However there is also the subconscious part. This is how your body is wired and how your hormones work. These are your very primal responses to things like anxiety, fear, threat and the most primal of all: the sexual drive. These are the mechanisms shaped by evolution and natural selection. The subconscious looks for very different things in a mate: shelter from threat, power to provide for you and your offspring and strong genetic code to recombine with your own. These are things that can't be interviewed directly so the subconscious is dependent on picking up subtle signs like radiated confidence, social status, accumulated goods, strong body type and good looks (an indication of intact genetic line) etc.
If you end up in the FRIENDZONE that means you met all the criteria of the conscious self but failed the interview with the subconscious part. You pleased their brain but failed to make their pussies wet.
Their conscious self may tell you: "Oh, I love that you are so attentive and you asked me which restaurant we should go to for the date." Meanwhile their subconscious makes a mental note: "No initiative, no drive, no leadership: not the signs of a powerful mate"
You are apparently very good at pleasing the conscious self. Stop worrying about that. Work on broadcasting the proper signals to please their subconscious.

Try being a bit of a dick to her but make her laugh she'll be frothing at the gash mate...
I can second that. Being "nice" to girls just gets you into the Friendzone. Read Tucker Max . Don't be an asshole (like Tucker), don't abuse chicks but realize that girls are attracted to alpha males. And alpha males are confident, and a bit of a dick. Beta males are nice. This is why they make such nice friends. You will be so nice and understanding when they weep on your shoulders about that total dick that they fell for who *surprise - surprise * turned out to be a dick! |

Top Gear has a matching episode ! Whatever happens do not attempt to rotate the engine before the water is out. Water does not do well with compression chambers. |

And whats your stance on alcohol and tobacco?
I'm 25 and I never drink and never used tobacco because unlike some people, I am smarter than 2 year old. 2 year olds have to try something first to believe for themselves that it's damaging or dangerous. Older humans can use evidence and research and observations to actually make that determination ahead of time. Here's what it really boils down to. Anyone who comes home from a stressful day or has problems at home or is having trouble in school and uses any kind of drug to feel better is NOT HEALTHY. Anyone who has to do that is downright pathetic. That is not a proper way of dealing with your problems. It's a pretend good feeling that doesn't solve anything and people like all of you know damn well it's bad and wrong but thinking that way makes you sad so you justify it every way possible. Then when someone pokes holes in your theory and your little pretend bubble of "drugs are good" thinking starts to deflate, you freak and lash out at them. Grow the fuck up, get a life, get off of drugs, and deal with your shit already.  |

Don't worry, they will come begging.  They will eventually realize that all the behavior traits they once thought "cool" in high school and college directly lead to a career as a gas jockey or convenience store attendant. Meanwhile the skills you accumulated pay off 10 years later in your career as an IT millionaire. |

Isn't that the same number of depositors your 'bank' has?
Dank Bank has had 8. I think anyone with a brain cell knows which other account is mine. You really had 8 guys persuaded to entrust you money? I am amazed. |

Yeah, the idea of an "in-house" currency that the kids earn with works around the house in exchange for boarding and food is pretty though.

Drug dealers probably can't read so well to begin with so needless to say, most aren't here following every little post  That may be true for the hanging around in the dark alley type of grunts. But the ones that sell on TOR for BTC probably have a certain technical savvy and definitely can read. Then they'd have a job. And no, nobody in my part of this medium sized city ever uses or has seen drugs. That's because we're educated, have jobs, and aren't stupid. Go about 3 miles east to find the drug addicted, welfare-riding assholes. You would be surprised how many educated people who have day jobs are occasional drug users. Weed and other "light" drugs are actually very widespread in intellectual and artsy social circles Many people argue that marijuana is actually a less dangerous and less addictive drug then alcohol or tobacco. Meanwhile cocaine is frequently consumed by musicians, actors and wall street traders as an exit from the job stress. These people are above averagely educated and have jobs. Drug usage is not only the heroin addicts in the gutters. And you just seem too stupid for words over the forum hack.

You are obviously very upset. Yet I fail to see how this is linked to my reply. |
