Are you talking about Mt Gox? They used to be the largest bitcoin exchange right up until they filed for bankruptcy and absconded with $450 million worth of user bitcoins.

Yeah, whenever anyone mentions the "oh if you had bought X two years ago, they'd be worth $50m now, not pointing out that it would've been almost completely impossible to not lose your "investment" in the various exchange hacks, let alone have a way to actually cash out.

Also apparently the vast majority of it is controlled by a chinese group generating them off of stolen power, and they change things every now and then that splinters the blockchain or something, and the people that don't move with them apparently also lose everything.

Yeah, this is the best part about the libertarian folks who love them some bitcoin while complaining about the dollar not being on the gold standard and about how it's all fake or some poo poo. Their crypto currency is extremely more volatile and more insecure.

That's even better. I haven't paid attention to it in a couple years.

My favorite bitcoin anecdote was someone built a massive bitcoin farming ri in his tiny dorm or studio or something, left it running overnight and it got so hot he suffered heatstroke in his sleep and ended up with permanent brain damage.

Gotcha. Yeah, I guess it's different for everyone. I was 25 with two kids and I wouldn't change a thing.

Daycare is absurdly expensive. Our youngest started kindergarten this year and we celebrated an end to 10 years of weekly daycare payments between the two kids. Easily had to have spent over 100k.

Don't do it! My one regret for my son is that he inherited my Falcon fandom. I feel like I failed him.

On the game front, he is at the point now where he just wipes the floor with me in almost every FPS. I still have him in Madden though. But yeah, playing video games and watching football with your boy or girl is pretty special.

If you make your kid a dolphins fan one of us is going to be forced to call CPS, that's just cruel.

Ugh, it is. My wife ended up quitting her job and opening her own day care because we were paying so much to have someone else raise our kids. She did pretty well for herself only having a handful of kids.

I remember in 2011 looking at the cart where I had 100 bitcoins queued for purchase (right around 100 bucks I guess) and I closed the browser because I thought that hundred dollars would be more useful elsewhere.

No doubt I would have sold them by the time they hit 5 dollars or whatever but I still think about it sometimes

Now that I'm done driving 10 hours from my parents' place...
-Can coconut milk. We use Aroy-D or Chaokoah (sp.)
-Can Maesri brand Masaman curry paste
-Yellow or white onion
-Garlic
-Thai chiles (Masaman is a less spicy curry so feel free to go as light as you want here)
-Sweet potato (totally non-traditional, but really good)
-Protein (usually chicken for us)
-Thai basil for garnish
-Sugar, lime, and fish sauce for taste

Cut up your protein and veggies, then fry the garlic and chiles with a bit of oil and a third or so of the paste. Toss in the protein with another 1/3 of the paste can, then once that's cooked add your veggies with the rest of the paste. Stir it all up until the veggies are cooked through, then add the whole can of coconut milk and stir until all of the paste is dissolved. Bring to a boil, then simmer and season with lime and fish sauce. If it's too spicy, add sugar to the desired heat level. Eat now over rice with basil leaves or simmer it for however long you want and really get the flavor going.

Thai curry is really easy to make. Maybe someday we will learn how to make curry paste from scratch but I haven't had home-cooked Thai curry that didn't just use paste from a can.

Thanks for this! I have adamant curry at H-Mart all the time and want try it out at home.

Even if it's true it doesn't matter, if the Queen of England says someone is her grandson, then he's her grandson. The only way it would become an issue if all 4 of the people in front of him in the line of succession died suddenly.

Yeah, we spend around ~1200 a month for our son and that's def on the modest end here in Austin. However, since the public school by us is garbage, he's going to do at least k-5 in private school so that cost isn't going away any time soon.
