Hopefully the Domino Theory will come into effect and neighboring states will follow suit and force congress to allow states to choose to stay on DST forever. It probably would have been easier to just stay on Standard Time... maybe that was their plan. Make it look like they're changing things while doing it the hard way so that it just stays the same. Not that I'm jaded or anything.

This is satire right? Isn't it? I keep looking for the tag but I can't find it.
Early April Fools prank? No? FFS what is going on?

$214 Billion will always be more than $300 Million. The error was pretty obvious when the quoted story was posted in January and 5 weeks later it's still dumb.
But still... it's not as dumb as the kind of cuts the administration is making in areas the leadership wants to repress.

No. I was using Pulp Fiction as a source of humor because I didn't have anything substantive to add to the conversation and I'm bored at work with very little to do. However, using my own life experience as a source, the Quarter Pounder w/Cheese is sold as Hamburger Royal Käse in Germany.

Under this scheme, businesses would win BIG. McDonald's and the 9lb hammer company would be able to charge the same amount for less meat and metal. It's a win! Write your congress critters and tell them to get it done.
Of course, everybody knows that a Quarter Pounder with Cheese is called a Royale with Cheese in countries that use the metric system (because they don't know what the fuck a quarter pound is).
Also, TIL that 9 pound hammer is a strain of marijuana. Thank you Google.
Comment Anti-Bitcoin value (Score 1) 76
What's the current value of anti-bitcoin anyway? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I've been looking into investing in cryptocurrency other than bitcoin and, with Opera practically endorsing this one, I'm even more interested. It must be really easy to mine right now though if Opera is making a feature for users to mine from the browser.
