- I'm just surprised they don't look like this. -- (link) - pmb Dec 29, 07:18 1
  - it looks like they got a deal on the bad guys' outfits from a knockoff of Sky Captain & TWOT ...*makes Heidi Klum stinkface again* -- nm - crash davis Dec 29, 07:23
- It doesn't have SS overtones at all. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 29, 07:18 9

        That's what it is, drum major! I couldn't think of where else I'd seen that diagonal stripe/cut of the coat. -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Dec 29, 07:38
  - It doesn't. The SS dressed in possibly the best looking military uniforms of all time. These things are what we dress the people to help - Krusty - Diamond Dog Dec 29, 07:26 2

Seems too much of a gamble to me: Panthers OT Russell Okung will receive half of his $13M in salary in Bitcoin -- (link) - decline Dec 29, 07:06 12
- if you had taken this deal in 2010, you would be a trillionaire. -- nm - Reagen Dec 29, 07:15 11
  - Still seems like a very risky proposition. Why not just get paid in actual money and then buy your own bitcoin? -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Dec 29, 07:37 10
    - Have you tried to buy bitcoin? -- nm - JD Dec 29, 07:51 3
      - i keep asking the bank if they'll give me wrappers to roll my bitcoins. no dice so far -- nm - 🦌sleighformojo🛷 Dec 29, 08:11

        I mean it's only slightly less fake than actual money. - Reagen Dec 29, 08:00 2
        
        I think the untraceable part is the real draw. But there are few non-nefarious reasons for needing that -- nm - TWuG Dec 29, 08:08 1
        
        Refugees, just remember your password, pirate's can't rob like they do of traveler's gold coins, diamonds -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 29, 11:22
