Us and iran on the brink of war ugh

They killed Revolutionary Guard Quds-force commander Major General Qassem Soleimani and head of Kataib Hezbollah Abbu Mehdi Muhandis.

If you kill a general in an airstrike that is an act of war. Imagine if Iran took out a U.S general in an airstrike, although a retaliation strike by Iran would be strategic suicide.

...
At least we are learning some German culture in all of this, so there is that.... little side benefit. 
...

No offense, but this sentence is based on so many misconceptions, I don't know where to start. Would be a topic for a separate thread.

For an attempt at clarification, I was NOT at all striving to be disrespectful to German culture or to really say anything about German culture at all except to facetiously respond to what I considered to be the various nonsensical points that Gyrsur was increasingly excitedly spouting about. 

Maybe I should have placed a #nohomo tag in there somewhere in order to indicate that my comments were NOT intended as any kind of literally serious assertion about substance?

Please keep providing you monthly updates.........   #nohomo.....

Yeah, noticed that earlier while below 7k.
DDoS reminds me of bottoms and tops.

*finally got this posted, it timed out the 3 times I tried in the last few hours.

Fun fact:

So I run out of fiat cash with all the season's expenses and the BTC buying spree, and thought of using my brand-new Canon colour laser printer to photocopy some bank notes. Here's the result:



It seems that the printer has some pattern matching s/w inside it, to detect bank notes! So I scanned the A4 sheet of the copy, and tried to crop and resize it in Photoshop to prepare for posting (image above). Here's what I got:



WTF! Even Photoshop has protection! I tried Corel PHOTO-PAINT. Same thing:



... So I launched good old Microsoft Paint, which did the trick! Never expected an M$ product to be so functional!

I Googled it, and found this:

EURion constellation

I covered the pattern and it worked! Bank note copied! Now I can go buy some MOAR BTC. Yeah!

Sorry for the OT, I just found it interesting. I guess consumer printers have become very capable lately, and companies are trying to prevent their use for illegal purposes.

Edit: I wonder if this protection works on that Z$100,000,000,000,000 third Zimbabwean dollar...

Edit 2: Took a photo of the same 50 € bank note, using my mobile phone. Photoshop still refuses to open it, displaying the exact same message. Corel PHOTO-PAINT opens it fine though...

I was thinking about a new company logo and this would be an interesting feature....

Pump soon? Target of this bullish inverse H&S is approximately 15% (head->resistance trendline) up to $8,500... if it plays out of course.



Notably this would take us to the top of the 6-month long Weekly bearish channel

Can you please post the whole bear channel for reference?
Thanks a lot.

I still have an old version of Photoshop that I use today. I'm guessing anything older than 2003 will work, as well as any open source paint editing software like GIMP.

I remember as far back as 2010 trying to photocopy £20 notes at work & the printer coming up with big error messages.

Separately there was an instagram page as recent as a couple of years ago that was selling fake notes. They shut it down. They passed the pen test in shops, never tried to bank them though.

A geezer I knew worked in a scrap yard and they'd only pay him in forged £20 notes.

They were fucking awful and you could tell instantly yet he still managed to get rid of almost all of them. Every shop assistant he offloaded them on would twitch the moment they touched them but they stuck them in the till anyway.

Somebody gave me some when I sold a sofa on ebay years ago. Obviously I didn’t know, they looked legit.
Tried to bank them & the cashier knew, I ended up effectively giving this sofa away for free because they confiscated the notes.

Was a shit sofa any way.
