Uncle Enzo posted:I know bitcoin mining requires ASIC's on an industrial scale and even then isn't profitable. What I wonder is- could I farm out my cpu/gpu to some ignorant bitcoiner to use for bitcoin mining, accepting my pay in cold hard fiat? I could compute electrical+wear+tear and lease it out for say 130% of that, payable in dollars no bitcoins thanks. So, like, they'd pay me 15$ a day in order to mine .000000001 of a bitcoin, at current exchange rates worth .00000001$. That'd be a pretty sweet deal. For me. With how ignorant and greedy bitcoiners are maybe I could find a taker. Sold! I'll give you $2 for every bitcoin I mine.

quote:We are trying to be frugal with our food budget and both love to cook, but being involved with nutrition means that we spend a little more for healthy/organic foods. We are budgeting $400 a month each ($100 a week per person) for food, so that takes her $1,035 a month down to $635 on average, depending on commission and time of year. Is this a reasonable food budget for our healthy accommodations? Shes a nutritionist and they have to spend $800 a month on food. You'd think spending $100k on school to learn about food you might be smart enough to cook high quality healthy meals cheaply?

But that money comes from all people who bought tickets and dispersed to all people even those that didn't buy tickets. So some people will make $4.33, some will make $2.33 and some will lose a lot of money.

High Lord Elbow posted:Back to the "under 100k horse crowd," a lot of those people live in places like Wyoming and Texas where you can buy a few hundred acres with a decent 3br/2ba for almost nothing. With the cost of living so cheap and abundant land, having a few horses to roam the range is really satisfying and not as bad as stabling them in some fancy Northeastern suburb. I live in hawaii and I had a $10k wedding on the beach, normally it would cost twice that but since I'm a local I got a good deal.
