Haven’t checked out the (I assume) non-100%-Bitcoin portfolio yet.
Not 100% Bitcoin I don’t feel safe!!

Hehehe. That hot tub place had a super cute cat roaming the territory.

Just added a basic performance chart to the site using Chart.JS.

^ Nice ^

Hey has anyone’s Linux-Windows dual-booting been foiled by that Secure Boot update? It happened this summer, but I only just read the article at the Verge and elsewhere. Looks like it can be disabled, but I probably wouldn’t have bought a cheap Windows PC this winter if I’d known about this new headache.

TIL button phones are still hugely popular in Ukraine.

TIL ??

"today I learned"

If so, again an acronym time waster for the receivers of communications

Cool. I thought about buying a retro Nokia — nineties style — but I am too used to typing by Swype or a bluetooth keyboard with a tray for tablets & phones. No slow t9 typing for me. And I don’t actually talk on phones.

;-) I first thought it might be "too incredibly little" button .......

I think you are right though Vinny, you da man! (I should have just said YDM). :-)

I hate all these initialisms even though I happen to know this one from reddit.

Sorry guys.

You are forgiven. You young guys just need to give us old guys a chance to catch up.

No worries, Smithers. The initials aren’t out of control here like at b’heads.
All good!

No need to apologize. That pales in comparison to all the TREMENDOUS positives you have brought here!

You just happen to hit on my personal campaign against acronyms / abbreviations that are not clear to the receivers.

When I first got into this forum I was asking a lot of questions. Invariably I'd get back answers filled with three letters that had no meaning at all to me.

I think i've just been spending too much time on Reddit lately!

How long have you been a vegetarian, boglerdude?

Is it difficult?

Obviously, I am not boglerdude ... but I've been one since summer 1978. Super easy for me to be one.

Not so easy to finally give up sugar in 1985. I was a sugaraholic.

30 years. like any type of self-improvement its incrementalism. slightly less meat every day and swapping in fake meats. Getting my lunch down to a tablespoon of peanut butter was harder but you get used to feeling hungry and its energizing. The thing I cannot do is get up early. Trying to unwind all my 48 years of thinking that working late is good. Cuz if Im not in bed right on time theres no way Im getting up on time.

For some more content, they flew a drone over the roof on my rental and canceled insurance. Called a dozen insurers and only one let me buy a policy, yesterday. Socialists wont let them raise rates like they wouldnt let us evict for 3 years. The house is in a slum not near the wildfires though.

My mom has been a vegetarian for 20 something years, and for her it would be harder to eat meat than not to. It's a moral thing for her rather than for health reasons.

It would be for me, too. I want lab grown meat.
Thanks, all.

Somewhat humorous given your current avatar!

Well that’s what’s available now
I did use the conditional…

A vegetarian diet results in a terminal condition for 100% of those eating it.

wow!

Trump announces pardon for Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, vacating life sentence

That is a huge deal, and I still have to ask why they keep mentioning Trump’s age in the article every time they state his name.
