ThickAsThieves: "If I was inclined to have a boyfriend, I would select one my height and weight to save having to readjust the driver's seat position. I am not interested in doubling my wardrobe

herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu:
as someone who actually sits on SSRN in his free time reading research old and new i kind of disagree
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids there's a subtle point involved here : back when information cost money you had a bunch of ignoramuses clearly labeled
as such and lots of educated people.
herbijudlestoids: because
as it turns out, not *all* jobs are about doing what everyone else says and if youve got talent you can command those jobs

As far
as football this year goes though, the NFL has had one on its most boring years in history.
BingoBoingo: Well, of course it is inertia. It also pulls the sports bettors to more dangerous venues that offer lines on
as many competitions
as possible,
as opposed to safe ole bitbet that only tries to offer profitable competitions

as wel las changing social mores and expectations have pretty much killed that model.

as shit

kakobrekla: >I too agree that in order for Cognitive to be wildly successful like it once was more people need to come on board on the management front, preferably shareholders, because we all have a vested interest in the company succeeding
as opposed to contracted workers.
lippoper: "The only thing holding back precious metals right now is the fact that the USA can print money, buy gold in London anonymously, sell it at a loss, print more money to cover the loss, and repeat

as NONE of those uses intersect with MY identity, you can never trace it to me

as a business
mjr_: they
as an individual are probably liable
TATonaplane: Any individual acting
as a twoway dealer might
mjr_: we did not "make a market" ie offer to buy and sell at the same time, in fact satoshi square
as an entity if you can even call it that has never bought or sold a coin
mjr_: so a person AT satoshi square COULD be just
as in trouble
