Bringing it back to fly-rear end kicks, I picked these up in a thrift store for €5 a few days back

edit what the gently caress is going on with imgur? What arcane ritual is required to embed an image?

You need to copy the image's actual URL, which is i.imgur.com/something.jpg (or .png, or whatever). It takes a few moments after uploading to actually be the image source.

I was about to say, hasn't difficulty gone up so much that only ASIC farms in China are making a profit? I haven't really looked at it for a while, but has price gone up/difficulty gone down so much that it's profitable to mine with GPU again? Also wasn't AMD GPUs better suited to mining when GPU mining was still a thing?

Bitcoin is a garbage dump of scammers, idiots and crimials. Stay the hell away. The "news" thread is in YOSPOS.

I believe bitcoins are mainly used for black market purchases and that's not a niche commodity for investors. I still think buttcoins are dumb but it seems like there's a whole side economy going on with them to buy drugs and other things. It's even possible it's used by thousands of retailers and millions of people; but mainly for illegal stuff.

Not to mention "legal ponzis" that people bet on because THEY're the ones who get out in time to make a profit (they're not) and, in the most recent bubble, short-selling inaccessible funds on the biggest bitcoin exchange that plays bank hopping because nobody wants their drug/child porn money and was unable to pay out any human-usable currency, which obviously drives up the price of now-completely-untethered-from-reality bitcoin because :ovr:

Is the familiar series any good?

It can be really tiring to read especially the chinglish parts, but I like it overall. If you didn't like any other Danielewski, stay far away, if you just didn't like Only Revolutions it's fine.

Only Revolutions is my favorite work of writing ever (hard to call it a novel), and I loved House of Leaves, but I couldn't get super into The Familiar after struggling through vol. 1. Does it pick up?

Do you have a recommendation for how to actually read Only Revolutions? I've bounced off at least five times now.

I don't understand how people can walk around with only like 3 cards. I have at least 6 that I want on me at all times, more like 10 if I want to be prepared for all eventualities.

My job is high security clearance so people are paranoid about such things. But not paranoid enough to notice me talking to my watch.

I mean if you don't leave every meeting early by shouting "KITT, get me out of here!" into your smartwatch and running out of the room, I can't really help you.

I switched to Hue and with 3.0 it's better than ever.

Bought a new washer and dryer set since I am a homeowner now and the 14 year old washer and 24 year old dryer were making some strange noises. Figured it's better to just grab a new set than potentially go down an endless rabbit hole of fixing things on them



Good idea, will probably save you from a fun washer flooding.

Got a Fjällräven Tab Hat for Christmas and it's cold enough to wear it today.

Nice! I had to buy some Fjällräven stuff last January in Norway when my down jacket decided to no longer zip up and it's really great quality.

someone in discord posted this image


and I made a terrible decision.

if you know, you know. if you don't, it's been something I've wanted for over two decades but never actually got. The one I got doesn't have the manual but I'm sure I can find a PDF, or just buy a secondhand one. It's kind of important for this in particular, though.
