If you put $5,000 into Bitcoin on January 1st 2017 you’d have over half a million dollars today. Good day. Have fun sleeping with that knowledge.

Quite literally, in this case.

Actually Bitcoin is 100% secure if its stored correctly. My Bitcoin is stored offline meaning no hacker could ever get to it. Its called “cold storage”. If you don’t store your Bitcoin properly its your fault if you lose it. Its the first thing everyone should learn before buying Cryptocurrency.

You don’t seem to understand that exchanges are a thing. If I had 10,000 BTC in a wallet, I could sell them right now on Kraken or Coinbase or Exmo for ~$99.87m in USD, extract my cash and dump it into a checking account and literally have $99.87m. It’s not like your money is trapped in BTC or even in crypto. You can…

“Like it or not, currencies have to have central authorities to back them up. “

Thats why you need to know how to store your Bitcoin. Its referred to as “cold storage”. My Bitcoins are stored offline on a password protected USB stick which make its absolutely impossible for any hacker to get to them.

Bitcoin isn’t real? You think that paper the government prints till no end is real? Atleast like Gold there is a finite number of Bitcoins that can be mined. You’ll be whistling a different tune when the dollar collapses.

Condescension is a gendered thing now?

Or, y’know, just install GIMP for free and not have to worry about the developers taking something away from you unless you pay them.

I call BS on this one. It’s not about having multiple monitors; it’s about having enough information visible at any one time. Multiple monitors at $100/each is the least expensive route compared to a UHD monitor with enough screen real estate to see everything you need at one time.

but found its width encouraged the time-wasting habit of repeatedly fiddling with window sizes to fit multiple apps on a single screen

It sounds like it’s not the number of monitors you use but the multitasking that’s the problem.

You’ll get my 3 monitor development setup when you pry my cold, dead eyes off it.

“Feminism” today is an embarrassment to the word.

It’s a feedback loop. They can call someone for mansplaining and if the man does ANYTHING other than politely accept the accusation, they are then further guilty of mansplaining. It’s a tactic to control the interaction. The example above is simply patronizing condescension and happens all the time to men/women by men…

At least you were offered a sensical explanation of sorts. I have literally been told a few times that it’s literally any time a man explains something to a woman. And my incredulity at that explanation has usually made the whole situation worse. Ugh.

That’s not the definition of mansplaining as explained to me by so many women I’ve discussed it with. What you define in the first paragraph is just run-of-the-mill condescending behavior. Frankly, I’ve seen as much of that from women in the workplace as from men. I was under the impression that “mansplaining” is when…

Totally agreed

Dear Lifehacker,

I fell like the better statistic would be a comparison of the average cost of medical care per soldier vs per trans-soldier. If that’s the same, then it’s certainly as ridiculous as it sounds, but if there actually is a large difference, then would that merit a policy change like this? This is an honest question and…
