Living Room / Re: Does anyone here use Bitcoins?
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on April 19, 2013, 02:41 PM »
much the same way it once outlawed individual possession of gold coins and bullion.

wait...what?  You guys can't own gold?!  Since when? o.0

@Stephen - we can now. Couldn't for a good number of years starting in 1933 and ending in 1975. See here.

Remember, this is the land of the "free" and the home of the brave.

Living Room / Re: How to open a can with a spoon
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on April 19, 2013, 02:38 PM »
From what I gather, it's not filing, it's using friction to cause heat which weakens the metal enough for the initial puncture (his comment "We're going to try and soften the can"), so there would be minimal if any metal shavings, and the rest is simple levered shear action.

Yeah, but he also says "Voila...Peaches!" when they are clearly pears...so I am personally not inclined to believe anything he says!  :mad:

Seems to me to be a case of "We can't be bothered anymore...BitCoins are fluctuating to goddamn badly to make us enough money...that...and the taxman is becoming more and more aware of huge amounts of money moving between our accounts, and is now looking for  ways to take as much of it as possible"

If anybody can get the damn solution to load without a trillion errors, all it needs is:

this.passwordTextBox.PasswordChar = "*";

that needs to go in mainForm_Load

Seriously...that is it lol.

Living Room / Re: Recommend free image hosting site?
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on April 16, 2013, 08:29 PM »
From http://imgur.com/help/images

How long do you keep the images?
As long as images are getting at least 1 view per 6 months, they will stick around forever. If an image does not receive even 1 view in 6 months, it may be removed to make room for new images. Images on pro accounts will never be removed.

How many images can I upload?
Infinity images can be uploaded from a single user, but only 225 will be associated with a standard account. After 225, older images will be hidden.(*)


(*) Clarification:

If you pay for a pro account, ALL your images will be available to you.  You also get an ad-free service.

For the cost, it's value has proven good enough that even I paid for it :P

Belated response :-[ -
yes, I see and acknowledge your points Stephen.
The video was great btw (the gratuitious use of unnecessary cushions was brilliant).
In retrospect I see I was mostly put off by your intro -
Vulgar?

As defined by who exactly?

Firstly...I don't even recall commenting on this thread o.0

1 came across as aggressive.
2 came off a bit like 'I dont care enough look at the post in question'.

That came across to me as not-respecting (and it still does - I realise it may not have been intended that way). My reading of that coloured the way I read the rest of the post. So I would say I over-reacted overall to the post in the end.
And one could even say that the whole episode is related to the topic too :-\ :P

Lol, the "Firstly" point was actually a shot at my own bad memory (Joke gone wrong lol)

And one could even say that the whole episode is related to the topic too

Strangely enough, you are right...this entire "spin" is actually more on topic than the topic itself lol.

Grandpa stan, like I say, I can make no apology for something where I don't feel like I was in the wrong, however, I do understand your thinking :)

I also apologize for being bad at wording my post to the point where sly jokes where misinterpreted (understandably) :D
1445
o.0

but you also don't spit in their face and tell them their opinion doesn't matter.

Please re-read what I wrote.

but you're getting a bit carried away there with some of your comparisions.

(Notice I made a joke there, not actually gave a full comparison...the Jew one wasn't made to be serious...) :/

It's fun sometimes but not every post has to be an excuse to post some random video or anecdote that takes us spiraling off topic.

The video was there to backup my thinking.  No more, no less.  I did not spiral this discussion, I simply responded to somebody directly pointing a finger at me.



Please also notice how I stayed polite, calm, and collected throughout the whole message.  Seems people think I was disrespectful, but...I don't think I was.

People here should know, I only swear when I am 'fuming' about a topic.  Notice how said post was also "out-of-character" colourful.  How often do I use 10 different colours in my posts?  Sometimes...yes...but its 1/500.

The topic itself was a sensitive one, and one which caused me to use "bad words".

My final statement on this topic is the following.  I do not know the author, I read it on Pintrest (I think):

Everything we write, everything we have read, and anything we will ever read, is just 26 different letters, is just a different combination of 26 letters./quote]

To Stephen66515 I would say that there is no need to use that type of language on this forum. Opinions can be expressed without the use of vulgar language.

Vulgar?

As defined by who exactly?

Firstly...I don't even recall commenting on this thread o.0

Secondly, I like to use all the words offered to me by the English language.  Those of you who declared words "vulgar" "crude" or "inappropriate" need to step back, and realise...they are words.  Words are words are words are words.

Just because you and a small sub-set of others deem something to be bad...does that make it bad...truly?

People say eating meat is bad...should we all stop?

People say being black is bad...should all black people stop being black?

People say jews are bad...does that mean they should start spending more money?

there is no need

A wiser man than me once said:

It's not necessary to have coloured socks, it's not necessary for this cushion to be here, but is anyone going to write in and say 'I was shocked to see that cushion there, it really wasn't necessary'? No, things not being necessary is what makes life interesting -the little extras in life.

But...instead of just quoting said wise man...watch/listen here: (Chances are, you will find this offencive)



I offer no apology as I have done nothing that could possibly offend any sound minded person.

Everybody at DC knows what I am like, everybody knows my style of writing, and I think the majority of people know I won't stop swearing : ;D

1449
Nope, didn't restart my PC, and don't plan to until the end of the month at least (At least...planned).

That site says I don't have the plugin installed.  It made no indication of needing to reboot at all, and all browsers have been cleaned and rebooted. So...gawd only knows lol.
