I agree that currently chewing gum is legal, however I do believe that chewing gum loudly shouldn't be.

Wow I was even further off than that.
Trivialize the threat publicly, buy/sell off all relevant stocks, then announce threat is worse than anticipated.

Deny again that asteroid is a threat. Redraw a different course in red sharpie over the actual trajectory showing a path missing earth.

Discredit astronomy, discredit nasa, discredit physicists like there's no tomorrow.

That's the joke =p

I'm excited about the quantum teleportation fermilab has been making progress with, but I don't know if line of sight will be a problem for that either.

I like that the laptop itself is cheap but the fact that you have to keep replacing all 7 monitors is where it gets pricey

Google Play Music was my phones default music player, now it doesn't have one and the alternative requires internet to play music stored locally.
I don't know if its how I'm wired or a symptom of ADHD but I don't get much relief from completing tasks or projects. That reward trigger most people get doesn't seem to fire with me, to me I just finished something and now I'm either waiting for the next thing to do or moving on to another thing.

That's a major reason I have so much trouble motivating myself to get anything done. Even after I finish something, it has no effect on my mood.

If I'm having trouble with something and suddenly circumstances change where I don't have to do it anymore, it actually is a big relief to me and thats the only time I feel an elevated mood after crossing something off a list.

It would be interesting to see if microdosing LSD somehow changes that or not.

Re:The Rush to Stop the Asian Giant Hornet on Sunday May 03, 2020 @04:32AM (#23057720)
I'm 90% confident I saw one of these hornets in upstate NY a couple years ago.

It was active at night, I thought I heard an electric short somewhere on my porch and that's when I looked up and saw it flying between beams.

A few weeks later we find a dead mouse on the back porch. I was about to go remove it when its head slowly lifted up, then back down. So I thought maybe it was still alive but as I watched it more, it appeared something was actually inside the mouse, eating it from the inside out.

A couple days later I find the large hornet on the front steps, dead. I wish I would have taken a picture in hindsight.

A few weeks later I was pretty sure I saw another during daytime flying past me in the yard. Could have been a cicada killer wasp though, as the cicadas were out at this time too.

Re:The Church of Interruption on Monday September 23, 2019 @12:37AM (#21045939)
This falls apart when you have an interrupter who thinks they know everything, but really doesn't have a clue.

They don't let you explain critical detail about something because 'they got it they got it' and when they inevitably screw up its your fault for not explaining it right.

Its more interesting if you read it in a 1940's newsreels announcers voice.

No it has to look vintage, but has to also be modern and cool.
In this case, no one is being forced to provide health care.

There are doctors who want to provide healthcare and it is being denied in the same way a violation of free speech would be, by force.

No human rights are violated by allowing Assange to receive required care from consenting doctors, but the consequences created by people/governments with no interest in his well-being are violating his rights by limiting/denying the choices he should have available to him.

Those bots still have to spend time finding addresses. If the transfer happens in seconds or minutes, its more likely the address was already known and expecting a deposit.
Looks to me like he stumbled on a bitcoin payment processing system?

That would explain how the "bot" knows a transaction is about to occur and why the bitcoins were being transferred within minutes of arriving.

The addresses he finds are temporary addresses a customer is directed to send payment, and then transferred to a more secure wallet shortly after confirmation.

Re:A Guide to Crypto Currencies on Thursday August 31, 2017 @12:36PM (#15141519)
I could see Ethereum overtaking bitcoin since it can be seen as a more functional alternative.

I could also see it not if this pump and dump ICO trend grows to the point that if defines ethereum the way darknet markets did for bitcoin.
