I'm too lazy to search but there is a great video of a old Volvo 4 door colliding with a new smart car. My money was totally on the Volvo creaming the smart car. Turns out it went the other way and the fkn smart car totaled the Volvo! Something something "impact zones"

That's all true but an addict should know the difference between cellular data and company wifi.

Old IT admin here. We had a user that was not only downloading gigs at work to his work laptop, he was also using his processor at 100% for 8 hours a day. When we investigated, he was downloading gigs of regular porn and using his work computer to process them into "3D" like google street view. ALL DAY for weeks until we noticed. Dude got shit canned real fast. Higher ups just wanted to know if it was ALSO anything illegal. Got paid to watch his 3D porn for "research"

It's pretty obvious; I don't know why you're busting his balls about it.

Start out holding 100 BTC. If 1 BTC could buy you a sandwich for lunch last month, but this month 1 BTC could buy you a new Xbox, and next month a used car, why would you buy the Xbox this month? Wait a month and buy it for .1 BTC and be that much richer instead.

Wait a year, and maybe that 1 BTC is enough to buy a house! You'd be foolish to spend it now -- every day you hold on to your BTC makes you that much richer!

So the thing is, people still need money day to day.... When they NEED to spend it, they will. Sure the inflationary aspect makes you think twice before spending. Its like the opposite of "just put it on the credit card and i'll deal with it in a month"

No, I am pretty sure hate speech is defined by 'hating' a protected class. Like gender, race or orientation. NOT saying something blew up in your face and the company that made it "is a god damn POS.".
