A place to post any random stuff you want to talk about but not necessarily worthy of a whole new thread.

Swimming twice a day, say two sessions of 2k versus only 1 session of 4k for an IM. Which would be better?

True, a beer is almost a better alternative to most things.
A know a guy who could use a beer or ten. Back in the first bitcoin craze was putting All his money into bitcoin, rode it up and like most people sold at the bottom at like $2k or something.
Only for him to see it go to $80k a month or so ago. That's gotta hurt so bad...

If you listen to Hamish and Andy there has been a long running saga on Bitcoin. Jack has forgotten/lost the password for the coin. They even got 2 policemen to search Jack's house to try and find the piece of paper that he wrote the password on.
There is also a guy in the US who has lost his password to $220 million dollars "worth" of Bitcoin.

Isn’t there also a guy I think in the UK offering the council $1mil to dig up the tip to look for his hard drive that has his Bitcoin on it.

I read the other day that a date (I think in May) is known as 'Pizza Day' because one of the developers at Bitcoin traded 10,000 coins for two Pappa Johns pizza, way back in the early days.

I read something similar where a guy in University in the states bought some bitcoin so he could get some drugs off the dark web and is now a multi millionaire due to still having a heap left in his 'wallet' . Imagine working your arse of in uni laughing at the stoner only to see him drive past you in a new Rolls Royce Phantom 10 years later...

That Elon Musk is a scumbag.. But I guess most multi billionaires are Basically the theory is, that TESLA buying BTC then Elon tweeting about and the price pumping helped his company get 'extraordinary earnings'. Which meant Elon was allowed to get a 11 Billion payout from TESLA. Now he doesn't give a phuck and will FUD BTC because it doesn't harm him or his company long term financially. www.reuters.com/business/aut...ut-2021-04-26/And its a very good bet he has dumped the $1.5 billion of bitcoin he had before he sh!t canned it

Apple releasing lossless audio formats, and some of the notable devices they won't work with are airpods, airpod pros, and will only work with an iPhone if you buy an external DAC, including if you want to use them with the $1k airpod max and they must be connected by cables....... Ultimate media devices....ha.

You can join two ziplock bags together by turning one of the bags inside out, to help store bigger items.

So anyone following this Bitcoin fiasco? Massive dump basically all started by Elon Musk saying Tesla wouldn't be accepting them as payment due to the power needed to process the network.
Now call me cynical but no one like to throw away a billion dollars, no matter how rich you are. So my hot tip is he will soon announce he has teamed up with some Bitcoin server/miner types with his Tesla batteries and solar etc and all of a sudden hey wow Bitcoin is green and off it will go... But I still can't bring myself to buy any..

I think this time it was China saying it was not “allowing” Bitcoin or something, not Musk on this occasion.

Some states in the US which are/have legalised marijuana for personal use, are having to retire their entire drug sniffing dog brigades because they don't know it's possession is legal. Have to train all new dogs.

That there are fans of Rage Against The Machine (now ex fans) who've been turned away because band members have been sharing their political views in social media! Saying the band should not be sharing their political views and stock to music....... 😕
Like, they do know the bands name, don't they? And I rarely listen to lyrics, but surely they have a clue what the lyrics are in their most famous song? They repeat over and over and over and nauseam......

That's bizarre goughy. Rage against the Machine have always provided a strong political message. Obviously those people never heard / read the lyrics!
