Well, if I do nail the headlines, then I want some major merit.

TIL there are quite enough emu war memes on that internet to go round, and that it is seemingly impossible to write a good poem about a heron.

A haiku on a heroin heron heroine?


I have a new first world problem.  The place where I am staying this week has extraordinarily low friction toilet roll holders.   This results in the entire roll of toilet paper spontaneously despooling and puddling on the ground.

Have never dealt with an issue of this magnitude before, I am at a loss how best to proceed.

Heron. She stands
eyeing up a carp.
Falls down, high, and sees the heavens.

So @slammielayer

Hello Vastly Lates

hmm strange lol. stings a little

 Meh.  That's not even an anagram ffs.  Very amateurish.

Hat, Vests Of L8

Meh. Very amateurish critique. Because slammielayer is not an actual word it doesn't qualify as an anagram.

https://www.dictionary.com/misspelling?term=slammielayer

Even if it was a word it still wouldn't be an anagram of Lambie Slayer because..........it has two M's

So you see anagram was never the game Mast of the B8s (no offense, couldn't resist!) and I were playing in the first place.

 You were playing cockney rhyming games, ramble easily?  Well now don't I feel like a lump of school.

Took a drive on memory lane and visited the barren wasteland  of https://bitcoincharts.com/ and then to BTC-e
Wex.nz to follow on of the now defunct exchange went dark a few days before charges where dropped against the operator
https://bitcoinsdailynews.com/court-drops-charges-against-alleged-btc-e-operator-alexander-vinnik/
Apparently Wex.nz was run by USAISC (United States Army Intelligence and Security Command) and registered with fake contact details, so Domain Name Commission (DNC) took it down.

The journey then let to the bitcoin babushkas

 I have an idea but first I need to know if you're in the northern or southern hemisphere.  Also, is it scented paper?

Say there is an ETF coming, and hope it doesn't drop any more.

Of course we know there is little chance of that happening after all your pumping and dumping.

Yesterday nobody comment on Coinbase problem:

They are just coincidences, not worry.

Bitcoin’s Latest Buying Streak Could Mean a Rise in Prices

https://cryptoslate.com/bitcoins-latest-buying-streak-rise-in-prices/

According to Bloomberg, the GTI Vera Convergence Divergence indicator is suggesting bitcoin is in its longest buying streak in six months. This means that if the buying pressure continues as it has over the past two weeks, then bitcoin could see a sustained increase in prices.
...
According to Greenspan, one of the clearest indicators of Bitcoin’s bright year ahead is the industries built around it. He said that companies involved in Bitcoin and blockchain are hiring at a “rapid rate,” with new projects coming online every day.
...
Mike McGlone, an analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence, said that the reduction of tax-related selling is a good reason for the bounce. He also noted that the duration of that bounce is something to keep an eye on, as last year’s bear market will most likely resume, he said.

OT: Here's Tim Cook's plan to get more people to upgrade their iPhones and turn Apple revenue around
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apos-tim-cook-apos-plan-142600035.html

• In an interview with CNBC, CEO Tim Cook laid out his plan for getting revenue back on track by encouraging customers to upgrade their iPhones.
  Cook said he will focus on the factors Apple can control, like marketing its trade-in program and developing a payment plan for iPhones, rather than those he can't, like trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

A payment plan for a smart phone? Really? Here's an idea Tim, why don't you try making an iPhone that's actually fucking affordable? At $1000+, you've priced iPhones right out of the Average Joe mainstream market. Even in China. It's a fucking phone for god's sake, not a Rolls Royce.

Fuck Apple, Pixel phones all day every day!

That's less expensive than the scam that Apple is, but still it's not cheap...

And buying directly from Google is a bit too much for me concerning personnal data. That's like hearing "ok this time we directly put the viruses in the phone so you don't even have to give autorisation we automatically collect everything you do or say don't worry "

I have just bought a refurbished Iphone SE from China for 175€ to replace my older iPhone 5. No way I am buying their latest ridiculously overpriced models. Staying (at least) two generations behind seem to be the perfect spot for me. As you say it is a fucking phone, not a damn investment!

And what about their new Mac Mini's? $1200+ for the cheaper 128GB SSD NOT-UPGRADEABLE one? Are we crazy or what?

Pretty happy with my 2015 Mac Mini that I bought for $350 in Fry's offer and upgraded myself to 512GB SSD.

That being said, I like Apple products but WTF man....

That pricing scheme and outrageous markup might make some sense if you are a niche brand like Bang & Oluffsen or Loewe with very little market share but not in case of a mainstream seller. Where are economies of scale here? Oh yeah, in the profits account. They are marketing geniuses that we need to concede.
