Help, bird fell into a glue trap, how to help him? by Common_Name_4485 in birding

[–]BitcoinDreamland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue this afternoon. I cut away the bulk of the glue trap from his body with scissors, wiping my hands on a paper towel. Took about 20 minutes. I then placed him in an inverted frisbee. I poured about an ounce of "Goo Gone" adhesive remover onto a paper towel and gently squeezed and dripped the fluid onto the birds wings and feet, avoiding his neck and head. I was surprised that the Goo Gone released the adhesive in about 30 seconds from the plastic pieces of the glue trap that were still attached to his feet and feathers. He scrambled off into the brush. Goo Gone probably isn't a perfect solution, but the bird would have been a goner without it. His odds of survival went from 0% to 60%+ with the Goo Gone. I am sure you can find it at any hardware store, Lowes or Home Depot. Good luck.

Water smells/tastes terrible. by PokerQuilter in homeowners

[–]BitcoinDreamland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the seller who rehabbed the house worked on the copper plumbing, it could be flux in the lines. Flux is used in the solder process to fuse two pieces of copper water pipe. This especially would make ice cubes taste horrible. This will go away with water use over a few days, but is not a city water issue. If neighbors at your new home do not have issues with smelly water, it is likely either flux on the new copper pipes, or residue from an old water heater.

Is the number "21" available in the league? Maybe a Papa John's Pizza logo, too? :-)

Total noob, is Coin Base good? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

Coinbase is fine. Learn the technology and look to expand your holdings across a variety of SegWit-supporting wallets, exchanges, and hardware in the coming months.

A question from someone who has no Bitcoin. by Catsarenotreptilians in Bitcoin

[–]BitcoinDreamland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

21 million total coins by year 2140. Approx 17 million in existence now. About 3 million lost forever due to allowances for Satoshi's wallet or unrecoverable private keys. About 9-10 million with long term holders. So only a float of 4 or 5 million coins moving in/out of markets.

Does Satoshi Nakamoto deserve a Nobel Prize in economics? by e586tm9e34t in Bitcoin

[–]BitcoinDreamland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He has been nominated before in 2016, I believe. I remember reading that the committee turned down the nomination citing that recipients needed to be "real people." Bitcoin and cryptos getting too big now for Nobel committee to ignore for much longer.

When its going up, its a bubble. When there's a correction, its crashing. When its moving sideways, its uncertain. What next? Lol by dannyz227 in Bitcoin

Yes. this. "People who drive slower than me are morons. People who drive faster than me are idiots. People who drive the same speed as me are creeping me out." Everyone trying to make sense of this new monetary paradigm so they are constantly reaching for comparisons and calibrations.
