BITCOINERS FOR TRUCKERS FUND =D WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[xhomerx10]

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

Nice hat for Im Thor by the way.

 Thanks for the compliment.  It took a couple of days and a quite a few cups of coffee but I finally came out of my motherf***ing crocodile of a Heather Morgan funk.  Clearly, Jesus loves me the most. Seriously, so nice... so nice...


 
Apparently it was a bad week for people named Heather or Homer.

Yeah, I remember how the science magazines were all excited about fission power in the 80s "in twenty years we will have working fission power plants, we are so close now".
They are still saying the same thing now. And I bet you that's what they are still saying when I die.
I would love to be wrong, but I doubt it.

I also wonder where they get the funding, it costs an arm and a leg to build those reactors and somehow they just magically get the money to build them, decade after decade. Are they funded by aliens trying to push us forward?

Ok, so maybe not decade after decade, but you know what i mean.

No I take that back, they do get their money decade after decade, I'm gonna go get me some coffee now.

I think you might mean fusion power is being promised.
Fission reactors already exist and indeed do provide some of our electricity already and have been doing so for around 3 to 4 decades.

Yes, of course I mean fusion,sorry brain wasn't awake yet.

Thanks.

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?

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.

You guys finally getting excited about fusion energy? Great!

Heres one thing thats going to happen. The surplus energy will be artificially drained to keep prices up. Why would anyone want to pay mere cents for their monthly electricity bill?

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"?

~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.

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.

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.
