mircea_popescu: there ~IS~ a reason
they switched from
trying
that
to
trying gavincoin last year.
mircea_popescu: actually, i hope most of it does, and i hope it comes out of
their corneas and
their daughter's labia.
mircea_popescu: and i don't care how much of it comes out of
the skins of idiots.
mircea_popescu: i LOVE!!11

assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 12:59:40; mircea_popescu: amusing how
transparent
the usg efforts of
turning bitcoin into gold are, by
the way. "oh, we don't want
to kill bitcoin, honest, we just want
to make it so we're
the only ones
that can safely hold it. you know... like gold..."

the
type of printer. in an inkjet it's a printhead

to keep
them from drying out

the
thing
nubbins`: funny
thing is, i figured it was a lost cause

thing while inserting.
nubbins`: anyway. soaked
