First, they forced the guy to commit suicide in lieu of imminent chemical castration ordered as a punishment for being gay.
Now they put him on a 50 pound note.
It's like...oopsie.."He wouldn't mind".
Just look at that...they like to celebrate the dead, not the living.

Well, when you nail a guy to a tree for the crime of saying people should be nicer to each other, then make him a God you know you're dealing with a weird species. Very little surprises me these days.

So kind of them to recognize his brilliance and his outstanding contributions to computer science and his WW2 code breaking work at Bletchley Park, considering that the Queen pardoned him and cleared his criminal record (for being gay, of all things) as recently as 2013, almost 60 years after his death!

'Society' is a f** up concept 

It was kinda a government thing.

@Biodom +1 on Alan Turing. Shame, shame, shame. He not only was a world class scientist: he also contributed to saving his country's ass during the war.

As for the guy nailed to the tree, if you're referring to the very famous guy (but not quite as famous as John Lennon back in the day), that was the common death punishment for slaves and lower classes. People in militarily occupied areas would be just a step above slaves - no citizenship. And it was not for saying people should be nicer to each other, but for being a local making trouble - we no want no revolutionaries here.

If I really needed to or had to use Google (although I don't know why), I could just use it from a brand new VM or something through Tor or through another ip address. I believe I used to type google.com/ncr so it's supposed to not redirect to whatever country it thinks I'm in.

Can also try Startpage I think.

Whenever I try to use google via tor I get stuck in an endless loop of "I am not a robot" captchas, they try very hard not to be accessible via tor.
It might work occasionally but it is not useable on a daily base. Bing on the other hand seems more than happy to serve you via tor.

Duck works for me, and they also have an onion address, although there is no need to do that. Using the onion address makes you hop 6 times total, wheras just going to duckduckgo.com using tor browser hops only 3 times. It works either way.

It's stories like this that make me feel so happy I don't have a wife...

If I did have a wife and she dared to shout at me for not selling the top or for buying the dip, I would literally say to her "pack your things and get the hell out of my house". That's also one of the reasons why I would never live in a house not owned by me.

Well, sometimes it is not a shout, but crying, as others attested.
I was talked to for not selling at 20K (actually, I initially promised to sell at 10K, but then decided not to).
It all worked itself out, but hear this..the wife informed me that she has some house and garden projects in mind and it is basically non-negotiable.
I don't mind at all, considering that the projects make sense. Why not bring a bit more enjoyment in lieu of spending something?
Fortunately, I don't have to sell btc to do this.

Good morning oops, it's after noon Bitcoinland.

Still dragging along in the $5xxxx range... currently $53851USD/$67743CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

March was OK, got us over $50k, but it's time to move up. C'mon April, take us to $70k (and beyond).

Go Bitcoin go.

Thank gawd my wife is smart enough to let me make the Bitcoin decisions.

Closest she came to interfering was back in January when she was worried about missing out on our lake and wanted to sell enough for a deposit. I explained that holding on for even a couple more months would make a big difference and that I didn't think anyone else would grab the lake in the middle of covid winter.

Turns out our timing was good. By the time we signed an offer, several other offers had been made but we added an extra $100kCAD an hour before the vendor was considering all the offers. The extra hundred grand was nothing compared to the millions by which our coins increased in value while we patiently waited.

She's glad now that we waited. We get our lake and our millions.

Thank you Bitcoin.

Wow, that's a pretty good vendor intel right there.
Is it typical in Canada to be told the decision time by an hour?
I never heard about it here, where they just vaguely tell you that a better offer was received.
One time my buying agent was clearly in cahoots with the selling agent (that is completely illegal)-we even had to have a consult with a lawyer.

We do not have full context of what happened on the story however I wonder what some people are thinking when they have those kind of reactions to their partners? As an example I do not know anything about the law, if for some reason I found myself with the need to hire a lawyer I would do so and listen to their advice and follow it, I will not tell them I know more than them and try to impose my views, I could give some feedback but that will be it.

It seems for the most part the husband was the bitcoin and investment expert of the family, they had a nice life and could afford to get more bitcoin, why is she questioning his call when they are doing so well? Does she believe to know better? Why? Probably most of those posting on this thread will agree with his call and his assessment of the market, there is no need to sell bitcoin now and maybe ever when the ceiling seems to be way higher than where we are now.

[d_eddie]

Best way to manage these issues: never tell the SO you have bitcoin. Second best: don't say how much, just some pocket money for the lulz.

These strategies come handy if she ever turns her back on you, too.


Unrelated, since Jimbo seems to have done pretty well for himself - under all respects: job, finance, women - but...

my wife

I must've missed the fact you got married! Congrats man, you're a true legend.

One time my buying agent was clearly in cahoots with the selling agent (that is completely illegal)-we even had to have a consult with a lawyer.

On Wednesday when I made an appointment with my agent to put together an offer and meet me on Thursday to sign it, there were no other offers.

On Thursday when I met her to sign, she said the vendor's agent had told her there was another offer. I signed for the asking price. I trust my agent but I don't know the vendor's agent.

Then later that afternoon she called to tell me there was yet another offer. She also said that the vendor's agent told her that the vendor and his lawyer were going to meet with him at noon the next day to assess all three offers.

Later that night after clearing my head with a few drinks, I was suspicious about the flurry of last-minute offers. I realized that maybe the other agent wasn't being completely forthcoming about all the offers and maybe he was holding back an offer where he stood to make both ends of the commission by representing both the vendor and the purchaser. That's when I decided to throw in the extra $100k and waive several conditions to make a preemptive strike and make sure we got the lake.

I met my agent at 9:30AM on Friday, initialed all the changes to the offer and she got it to the vendor's agent around 11:00AM.

Talk about the eleventh hour!
