Interesting, never even thought of them, and I have a few super cheap VPS' with them for years now.

Thanks!

This would be ideal for myself.

I spend $1500/year on insurance and about $1000 in gas on a car I barely ever drive.

I am slow to get ready and leave the house as well.

If this thing could just show up at my doorstep and drive me to the grocery store and back every couple of weeks for a few dollars that would be incredible!

Plus I don't have to make smalltalk with a driver, bonus!

Not to mention the space I would save in my garage.

Which is obviously evidence of a complete and total failure.

If they were truly hiding some secret villain's lair, why wouldn't they cover their tracks by making it look like any other expanse of white snow?

Ingesting Magic Mushrooms definitely makes me feel better.

I have been micro dosing for months now and loving it.

I wonder if any of the penguins around today have any idea what that piece of iron is.

If they have any oral history or anything of the sort...

I just had a childish thought.

Why don't we just completely trash the barrier reef and focus on saving the next reef that isn't completely trashed.

>In their experiment, Bankoff and Winter constructed a model of a partially dilapidated Neolithic house, and then set it on fire in a way that would replicate how an accidental fire would have perhaps started from an untended cooking-hearth fire.

Just a thought from an armchair-anthropologist here.

Perhaps a chemical reaction transpired over the course of the typical duration of a Neolithic house before it burned?

Unless they built it and waited a few decades before burning it down... it's not the same thing.

Another idea is that perhaps more dung was used than we imagine?

In which case if the building was mostly made of fuel and less clay I could see it building up enough heat to vitrify the clay.

>There is currently no defense for this attack in Bitcoin, as the simulation demonstrates.

The entire Bitcoin miner reward model is the defense for this attack.

Nation states have powerful computers... but nowhere near as powerful as the decentralized Bitcoin mining network combined.

Even if they did currently, the endgame for Bitcoin as envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto was for everyone on the planet to be mining Bitcoin at the same time.

If a Nation State could ever become more powerful than every single private processor on the planet combined... I think it would be game over for a lot more than just Bitcoin.

I wonder if the off yellow tinge had anything to do with the color of nicotine typically attached to said dust at the time.
