Aaaaand Bitcoin has officially just become totally worthless. If any shmoe with a box from Walmart can mint "currency", that currency has absolutely zero intrinsic value. USDs only have value because the Federal Reserve has a monopoly on printing them. If I could print them, nobody would want them.

...i see what u did thar :-) lol

When it looks like this I'm in:

No vid?

Charmed...? Life...? Is that what you think Chelsea Manning is living? You think she's being feted? How about Assange? He parties with the Film Festival brats on the regaluurrr... Oh no wait....

Sounds a little like the ScrapBook add-on for Firefox. That's how I store things I'll never read. Just checked and saw a few articles from Salon from like 3 months ago that I've never even opened.

That's hardcore. Much respect.

I never noticed that it boasted "stereo sound" with that one, very tiny speaker.

Ah yes...because running away and hiding is so girly! And anything girly, is not manly, therefore worthless. What a pussy....

slimer and dwork

I find it a little strange that people think he would be more legit if he had stayed in the US and been imprisoned - and possibly tortured - for life. Peeps are just jealous he was smart/savvy enough to thoroughly plan his escape and dissemination path...and that it fuckin' worked!

True enough. I guess my perspective was of the modern recreational hunter..."getting food"...on his $15,000 quad wearing $990 scentblock camo kit, carrying a $1400 rifle with a $750 piece of glass on it, who used 4 days of annual leave (at $300 per day) to go "hunting for food".

Ironically, a lot of self-styled conservatives are also hunters and fishers, and the destruction of the environment at all costs to chase the almighty dollar is destroying the very environment that they need to hunt and fish in, as well as the wildlife

Rhetorical? Right? Conservatives (CDN & US) usually white families with long standing historical ties to land rich in natural resources? Environmentalism and this "science" you speak of threatens their cash flow....

Aaaaand cue the ELE asteroid impact on planet Earth. We are officially out of useful applications for science, scientists and research.

The blood moon was pretty red where I am. It definitely didn't fail to impress.

Like with climate change, the huge subsidies awarded to the ecoWreckers, backed up by the huge campaign contributions awarded in return to the sycophantic lawmakers, will ensure that sustenance bug farming will never happen. Sadly.

Being reminded of the cruelty of the process, basically. I used to eat meat. I know meat producers. I've even helped slaughter/butcher. Eventually the absolute lack of any measure of compassion for the suffering of the animal got to me. And believe me....they fucking suffer. And it's loud.

I don't like eating meat....all...over...again.....
