Nice one bro. I'm glad you asked our awesome resident hatter to make you one. I knew he would take care of you. He did a fantastic job as usual.
It's definitely an upgrade from that homemade one you were sporting.  (mind you, that's not saying a lot, lol)


GO BITCOIN

Thanks, couldn't be better than the man himself make me one so I asked him, thanks for inspiring me to ask him lol.

 When JimboToronto asked where you got your hat,  I began working on a design for a TA style WO hat.  When sirazimuth prompted you to ask me, that was another step in the process but even if you had not directly asked me you would have received a hat.  It's the way of the WO.
 As an aside, if Richy_T hadn't sidetracked me with that old song, I think I would have come up with a tile much more quickly.  That song is still stuck in my head.

Those old wartime songs are some of the best (though I am not sure if that one might predate it a bit). Anyone for a quick round of "Roll out the barrel"?

And since you seem to be channeling our good buddy.. why does he not want to hang out with us peeps?

 I don't have direct contact with Elwar; I just follow him (covertly) on certain social media.  He has posted as recently as Feb 11th and I shared the video that he shared on other social media (also covertly and without credit).  I don't actually "know" anyone wrt the known knowns.  There is always the possiblity that unknown knowns are unknowingly known to me and on very rare occasions I test that theory by shouting, "BobLawblaw!", "JayJuanGee!" or "cAPSLOCK!" at total stangers and I keep my eyes peeled for the slightest hint of recognition on that persons face.  I will know the look because I swear I can see it occasionally on my mom and dad's faces when I drop off groceries or shovel their walk.

 In short, I can't understand why he doesn't want to hang out with us.

cant wait for fusion plants to come on line. go tokamak!

It will be very interesting to see how the delivery of fusion energy might change the whole energy/political landscape.
In theory, this should allow us to have access to very cheap, almost limitless electricity.
Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and removing the stranglehold other countries have on us due to the abundance of natural fossil fuels within those countries.
Also what will happen to Bitcoin when energy becomes cheaper?
Will there be a need for US war machine to protect the petrodollar?
Perhaps the production costs of these new nuclear plants might be too prohibitive to build enough of them to change the reliance on fossil fuels?
Will there be the political will to change the status quo?

Speaking of fusion matters...
Fun fact...
Back in the early 90's I worked as a CNC set-up/programmer at a UK Engineering shop near Oxford, England.
Several jobs I programmed and ran were for the Joint European Torus (JET) laboratory.
They were one of our main customers.

Electricity is only one input, production of many things will still be limited by available commodities. It will certainly be a massive game changer though. But fusion is still decades off at best and most likely closer to a century.

I have no knowledge about fusion myself and when my knowledge in a certain area is lacking, the discussions on hackernews are always pretty enlightening. Most there seem to think it is not really a breakthrough at all, more of just a benchmark being hit.

That is so awesome.  I really look forward to the effing pretent environmental socialists losing their biggest tool.

That said, human hubris may attend our undoing some day... how could it not?



Whee!

[d_eddie]

Elwar's channels with me have been down for some time.

Not going to force close 'em, 'cuz it's fucking Elwar, but wondering if dude is doing OK.

Did you read my PM about a week ago?
Seems genuine to my eye, but i'd triple check before initiating contact...

Elwar's gone under

When the bill came, he was ready to split it. I was like, "no worries brother, I got this one."

That puts me in mind of a TV show worth watching, since the thread has had some of that recently. "Inside No 9". The episode I'm thinking of in particular is S03E02 "The Bill".

I just watched that episode.    F**king brilliant!
I can't believe I've never heard of this show.
Thanx for the recommendation bro. Now I'm gonna eye guzzle the lot.

There's a few misses in there but most of them are well worth a watch. There's at least one that's considered one of the best that I haven't got to yet.

Just finished consuming all of the episodes.
Definitely enjoyed the earlier episodes more than the later ones.
Interesting that the two writers were also the two main starring actors.
Quite a bit of talent there, but totally agree with your comment... "There's a few misses".
Regardless, thanx again for turning me onto the show.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still bouncing along in the $4xxxx range... currently $42786USD/$54475CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Winter's half over. Should be time to start surging upward soon.

Go Bitcoin go.

Bravo. Job well done.

We don't need no steenking cheap knock-offs. Only the best here in the WO.

And since you seem to be channeling our good buddy.. why does he not want to hang out with us peeps?

~snip

 I don't have direct contact with Elwar; I just follow him (covertly) on certain social media.  He has posted as recently as Feb 11th and I shared the video that he shared on other social media (also covertly and without credit).  I don't actually "know" anyone wrt the known knowns.  There is always the possiblity that unknown knowns are unknowingly known to me and on very rare occasions I test that theory by shouting, "BobLawblaw!", "JayJuanGee!" or "cAPSLOCK!" at total stangers and I keep my eyes peeled for the slightest hint of recognition on that persons face.  I will know the look because I swear I can see it occasionally on my mom and dad's faces when I drop off groceries or shovel their walk.

 In short, I can't understand why he doesn't want to hang out with us.

I will answer if that ever happens within earshot.  There is nothing all that recognizably unique about my appearance other than general stunning beauty.

I have wondered how many WO folks (might) live close to me.  I only know of one, and I don;t think that person spends a lot of time in Dallas anymore, so I figure I am generally all alone.  Are there any other WO members in the general vicinity of the metroplex? (if you know, you know)

On this topic... I have shifted somewhat in my whole opsec strategy, and I do not know how wise that is.  I have grown quite tired of it in some regards, as well as understanding that my tracks over the last 11+ years are pretty clear. If someone wanted to figure out who I am there are several very easy ways to do it, sadly.

Why would anybody want to locate you? I'm sure everyone have heard about that unlucky boating accidents of yours...

Haha, That's why I only visit WO on bitcointalk. Much appreciated mate!
Also, Thanks to Jimbo and sirazimuth for telling me whose the brilliant hat maker.

Interesting and important questions indeed.
Too bad Pons and Fleischmann's cold fusion thing turned out to be a mistake (or a scam).
I doubt we will see workable fusion plants in our lifetimes.

Thermonuclear (fusion) energy is cool, but maybe 1-2 decades off the time of mainstream use.
Here is something interesting that is happening right now (from reddit):
