  - In 2017 I had wanted to create one “thing”, or make progress on a project, per week, but I didn’t formalize it and only had about 50% success or less. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 31, 09:10
- Not doing resolutions, but rather 18 in 2018 - 18 things that will make me happy/I want to accomplish. - Dark Callisto Dec 31, 08:55 1
  - I like this. -- nm - Krusty Dec 31, 09:19

NFL Coaching Rumors: HOU staying with O'Brien, CHI will part ways with Fox -- nm - Strongbad Dec 31, 08:02 1

Sipping my coffee, feet up on the couch, admiring the tree one last time before it comes down... all while wearing my new stalker socks! - Cuzzin Todd Nog Dec 31, 07:51 [Attachment] 2

- Ooh, nice! -- nm - Krusty Dec 31, 07:30 4
  - I did this about ten years ago and found charming rookie cards of a David Arias and a nice young man named Albert Pujols - Will Hunting Dec 31, 07:31 3
    - Did you hang on to the Pujols card or sell it? - Krusty Dec 31, 07:35 2
      - I am pretty sure I held it. - Will Hunting Dec 31, 07:40 1
        
        Of course. :-( -- nm - Krusty Dec 31, 08:32
I watched Spider-Man: Homecoming yesterday. Fun flick. One minor issue I have is that no NYC school that I know of has a homecoming dance. ;-) -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 31, 07:16 13
- Homecoming is the fall dance in most places -- usually held around the time of a rivalry game from what I remember. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 31, 07:25 1
  - A game that alumni are most likely to be interested in and thus return home -- nm - JD Dec 31, 07:26
- It's tied to football and occurs the weekend of a home game. Not at all sure why. -- nm - TWuG, neck model Dec 31, 07:23 7
  - Because (generally) it's a game alumni are invited to come to. Thus, homecoming. (And there was a Piggly Wiggly down the road...) - Dark Callisto Dec 31, 07:49
  - Yeah, it's always been something in movies to me. Like the Piggly Wiggly. Except apparently both are real. - Krusty Dec 31, 07:29 5
    - Acme (pronounced ack-a-me) is a grocery store chain here. -- nm* - znufrii Dec 31, 07:40

        So new I can't even see it yet. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Dec 31, 08:31
- I'll answer my own questions. Apparently it's more of a college thing than a H.S. thing and is about football. - Krusty Dec 31, 07:22 2
  - It's a big thing in CA high schools. -- nm - jnine Dec 31, 09:40
  - All the high schools here o it - one of the two big events/dances. Fall - homecoming, spring - prom. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nog Dec 31, 08:07

    - I mean, honestly. How were you able to suss that and I missed it? -- nm - mud Dec 31, 08:56 2
      - Reporter on Twitter pointed it out -- nm - Reagen Dec 31, 09:02 1
        
        thanks -- nm - mud Dec 31, 09:17
    - thank you. I'm chill, just disappointed that I couldnt tell. -- nm - mud Dec 31, 08:35

Hmm, one of the places we're planning to stay on our road trip in April....doesn't serve alcohol :/ - Meg Dec 30, 22:39 5
- Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful property. OTOH we could stay at the Hopi Cultural Center Motel where there's no alcohol within 50 miles :) -- nm - Meg Dec 31, 09:22
- The nerve! -- nm - Epiphany Dec 31, 06:28
- That seems sub-optimal. -- nm - znufrii Dec 31, 06:17
- Nyquil is 40%....just sayin -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 31, 02:04
- They seem to use the word "motel" rather loosely. -- nm - Mop Dec 30, 23:58

Some quick thoughts on cryptocurrency and where my head is at on this... -- (edited) - David Dec 30, 20:06 42 1
- I'd chip in. I have 0% understanding of this. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 31, 11:22
- I don't even know how you trade this stuff? Can you set stop orders? It seems like it requires constant attention. - Dano Dec 31, 07:45 2
  - I'm inclined to agree. Day trading was never my forte. -- nm - Reagen Dec 31, 08:51 1
    - In the same boat here. -- nm - Tim Dec 31, 09:20
- Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. -- nm - znufrii Dec 31, 06:57
- I’m in. I haven’t followed all your posts, but I have done quite well this year in the crypto area. -- nm - Karl_s Dec 31, 06:13
- I need to think, but I could be interested.. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 31, 06:07
- I'm interested, but only a little. We survived a horrific ordeal, and stayed afloat largely, almost entirely because of the kindness of friends, - landbeck Dec 31, 05:48
- I’d clarify that ripple as in XRP doesn’t have the support of banks. Banks don’t use XRP except indirectly. They use ripple tech for transfers. - mafic Dec 31, 05:03
- Can we go ahead and lock down book/movie rights on this? :) - Strongbad Dec 31, 03:24
- I feel a strong ick factor about the market, like somewhere there'd be malware extortionists or human traffickers profiting off my stoking the frenzy -- nm - Max Dec 31, 00:12 1
  - Serious question: how do you feel about major banks like Citi and Chase? -- nm - David Dec 31, 00:21
- I'm interested. The issue I have with it in general is scale. Yes. Ripple did it's thing. But take Cardano for example. It sits at 0.67 - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Dec 30, 22:50 6
  - Your criticism of Ripple amused me last month... - David Dec 30, 22:57 5
    - Oh, and that's the other factor here. - David Dec 30, 22:59 4
      - I know of a guy who is planning to start a mining company here in BC. -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 30, 23:03 3
        
        I saw an interesting analysis last night (hello, insomnia) that seemed to point to the highest supportable value of Bitcoin at 9000 based on - Reagen Dec 31, 08:35 2
        
        cost proxy, but not investment proxy. - mafic Dec 31, 08:51
        
        Others seem to think it will go into the millions and Satoshis will be the dominant unit of BTC. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 31, 08:47

- I’m not not interested. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 30, 20:21
- I'm game. While I am average to great player in HSX, I admit I don't really understand how much of it works. I feel like I just to keep grinding - Epiphany Dec 30, 20:18 2
  - It = crypto currency. I fully understand how HSX works - Epiphany Dec 30, 20:21 1 1
    - Right, we all do. - David Dec 30, 20:44
- A couple nitpicks, Mr Ocean -- (edited) - Beryllium Dec 30, 20:14 3
  - I specifically used his fake name for that reason, but I just edited it. - David Dec 30, 20:29 1
    - Not sure how easily, but I’ve been mulling the idea since then. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 30, 20:30
  - Specifically ... - Beryllium Dec 30, 20:27
- Honestly you need to treat this like gambling. Take some money that you expect to lose. If you don't then good. But expect to lose it and you won't - Bacon Dec 30, 20:11 7
  - That's perfectly valid, too. I debated it, but it felt like the $600 for the machine would be better spent on actual coins. -- nm - David Dec 30, 20:12 6
    - That's true, but I like building PCs so the hobby aspect would make it fun for me. Checking and seeing if I made a coin would be like gold panning - Bacon Dec 30, 20:16 5
      - If you pay your own electricity bill, your highest priority will become reducing that cost. Quickly. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 30, 20:21 4
        
        kilowatts are 8 cents here, 36? in CA its 4 cents in Iceland and Ukraine (from a quick google) -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 30, 20:29 3
        
        Ranges from 8 to 12 cents Canadian in BC... a bit pricey. Maybe with some solar/wind/tidal/wave power ... - Beryllium Dec 30, 21:01 2
        
        apparently Russia, china, india you can make deals, get it near free, pennies per, which might explain why most cryptomining is in those places. -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 30, 21:14 1
        
        On the other hand, cooling is cheaper in Canada. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 30, 23:26
