I'm not trying to be a cunt here, but it's important not to talk about things you don't even remotely understand the scope of as if they were fact.
Try harder... and while your at it, try practicing what your preaching. Now gtfo and go invest some of those "millions" into an actual education. I don't think I need any more degrees. And I clearly state when I don't know the conclusion, which you would be able to tell if you read any of my numerous posts today. So how about you fuck off instead?

What is going to be blocked? The government has said websites operating on a commercial basis will have to comply with the law. This is where things get sticky. The Online Pornography (Commercial Basis) Regulations 2018 sets out a few stipulations around what counts as commercial pornographic content and there are a few different stipulations that will catch a lot of websites. Something can be classed as commercial porn under the law if it has to be paid for or if the person making it will be paid or receive some kind of benefit. Websites that have more than one-third of their content falling into previous categories will need to have an age verification system in place. ^ https://www.wired.co.uk/article/porn-block-uk-wired-explains-not all porn . TIL when searching for info on the webs, best to put in quite a few keywords. so not just 'bbc porn', but perhaps 'bbc news laws porn parliament'...

... While pictures like that look impressive, they're not necessarily significant. Humans only occupy some 10% of the land on earth, which just isn't much. ...
I see this one a lot and it strikes me as lazy thinking. Sure, we could fit the entire human population on a standard residential lot in West Texas...but we don't. Humans, of course, occupy and change the most productive areas. The areas we leave are generally inhospitable to us, or much of anything else. A good bit of the non ocean surface of this planet is rocks, ice or sand. The 10% that we are camped on is most of the best, and we harvest off of more than that.

Do you understand what "not necessarily" means, or are you making up conclusions on my behalf again? You do raise a fair point, bar the deliverance. But with indoor farming we can turn just about anything hospitable with today's technology.

People often forget about how insanely large underneath us is. As well as above us. The original point though was that the planet likely doesn't give a shit about us pooping ourselves on minuscule portions of land. @jojo

Let's hope whomever mines it is kind enough to return it. It's been done before. Why should they? seriously. BTC is personal financial sovereignty: this comes with responsibility and accountability. I see no point giving up profitability to compensate stupidity (or bad UX choices, or whatever). Harsh, but fair (this is a literal translation of an Italian saying, my broken English cannot find an idiomatic equivalence).

I lease my Mercedes to be honest, I like to drive a new car because I’m a snob. No worse investment (ok maybe BCH or BSV are worse  ) than buying a brand new car yourself, as soon as you drive it off the forecourt it starts losing money. Not many people own a car any way, they have finance on it which isn’t much better than leasing. I suppose you have the car fully paid off at the end as an asset but then it’s old & lost loads of value any way. Just my opinion though. I will concede that cars are an expensive habit. I have owned cars since I was 15. Admittedly, my first few cars were not very good cars, but still they are also expensive to maintain. Regarding buying new cars, and especially luxury cars, they tend to lose the vast majority of their value in the first three years, so if you buy three year old cars, they might still be like new (depending on how they were driven, of course), but have already done their most dramatic depreciation. By the way Toyotas and Hondas don't tend to depreciate as much as Mercedes and BMWs.

When you want to look for better and faster alternatives, new and scalable, with very low fees; when you criticize the Pow and exalt the Pos, DPos, Tangle, and the waltz ..... when you invent them and try them all, then understand at the end that the KING is always the same, always and forever.

Anthropogenic climate change may or may not turn out to be significant, but the dystopian cesspool we are creating is very, very real.
Come on, Canada's not that bad yet.

@JayJuanGee @ LFC_Bitcoin @bitserve I had a choice last year that should I buy a car or house. I invested in property and reinvesting remaining money in more important things. If everything works out fine in the next 5-10 year or so then, will buy Car with Driver I am very happy with my under $100 bicycle and other than that I have my old "Royal Enfield classic 350" for road trips.

You usually can’t go wrong investing in bricks & mortar. It’s probably what I’ll do if/when bitcoin moons (buy lots of houses & start a property management company or something) otherwise I’ll become an alcoholic or a drug addict or something wandering around with nothing to do all day

Hey WO brothers (cunts, pricks, flat-earthers & ballerinas). Had a very busy party weekend, friends coming in for the 3 day carnival event. Drugs & alcohol hit the usual yearly ATH.  Sobering up & trying to pull myself together. BTC seems to be shaking off weak hands, getting ready for the $4k smash-through. Had all my orders filled out & eventually bought another whole coin ~1.15 BTC. Also made a decent profit of ~0.3 BTC on a pumping shitcoin last week. Last but not least, a couple of hetairas discovered the world of crypto.  Life is good.

I might be stating the obvious, but there are some locations in which a car is very practical and also can be a kind of livelihood enabler. In other places, you don't really need a car.... Of course, if BTC does another 10x or even 30x, then there could be several WO participants who might be considering various ways to spend their surplus value, and cars are fun and they do signal a level of status, if you don't mind showing some status.
