HYDROFILL - Desktop Hydrogen Refueling Station

Does anyone here have a device that uses more power than it's battery can supply in a day?

The mining window is closing as it is getting increasingly difficult to do (unless you have really serious dedicated hardware). When I first started I was getting over 10,000 coins a day ... Now I'm lucky to break 100.

Bingo StoicJoker.

That's the big flaw that keeps bothering me. "Look, here's a new crypto-currency and only a hundred people know about it! Nice advantage to us! Then later when it gets popular the algo will slow down and no one can get much more!"

Reminds me of the day when I cared about Magic the Gathering and bought a pizza with two Sengir Vampires!  :D  (The clerk made a note of the sale and said he would pay back his register.)

But how much were those bitcoins worth then and how much is the 100 worth now?

The song in the background is "Only Time" by Enya.

Boa Constrictor
“Oh, I'm being eaten
By a boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor,
And I don't like it--one bit.
Well, what do you know?
It's nibblin' my toe.
Oh, gee,
It's up to my knee.
Oh my,
It's up to my thigh.
Oh, fiddle,
It's up to my middle.
Oh, heck,
It's up to my neck.
Oh, dread,
It's upmmmmmmmmmmffffffffff . . .”
― Shel Silverstein

This is not a persistence of vision screen saver, but it is a way to build the original device using a Raspberry Pi.

I would like to upload a panorama of the view outside here, but it is 12MB in size(and available here.) A screenshot of it is below.

Actually that is a screenshot of a screenshot. The original is 3.74MB in size and kept timing out. Don't be deceived by the flat appearance of the view, this is a 220° panorama.

How Halley's comet is linked to a famine 1,500 years ago[/url]

Aka circa 520 AD?!

I have 2 articles which may be revelant to this:

Extreme weather events of 535–536 - Wikipedia

Ice core data record evidence of a volcanic eruption in 536, but it almost certainly wasn't big enough to change the climate so dramatically, Abbott said.

"There was, I think, a small volcanic effect," she said. "But I think the major thing is that something hit the ocean."

There may have been more than one eruption around that time which contributed to the situation.

A piece of the famous Halley's comet likely slammed into Earth in A.D. 536, blasting so much dust into the atmosphere that the planet cooled considerably, a new study suggests. This dramatic climate shift is linked to drought and famine around the world, which may have made humanity more susceptible to "Justinian's plague" in A.D. 541-542 — the first recorded emergence of the Black Death in Europe.

Weird Al Yankovic Wiki - "Don't Download This Song"

funny, the video doesnt seem to be available on YT (I didnt waste too much time on it, but presumed the og version would be on first search page). Wonder if there's a story behind that...

Actually it is...
