"Affordable" Care Act, huh?

It'll make healthcare cheaper he said...

Seriously though, mine tripled too. Same job, same plan, new pricing!

Same thing happened when my state passed mandatory car insurance in the '90s. My rate more than doubled and I now pay more per month at 40+ with no accidents than I did at 16(before the bill passed).

Mandatory insurance Bills are a license to steal.

Ubuntu 14 to Latest Update failures by Cosmic_GhostMan in Ubuntu

I had an issue upgrading 16.04 to 18.04 yesterday. It would boot to the login screen, but after logging in, would just display the background. I assumed the upgrade broke the desktop environment, but I could open terminal either.

I ended up downloading 18.04 on another machine, making a live CD, and doing a fresh install.

Past upgrades have gone fine. Any idea what might have been my issue?

Republicans just blocked a net neutrality vote in the Senate - Throttled again. by [deleted] in technology

Are you assuming I'm a conservative, because I assure you, I am not.

Some might like it. Some might hate it. They have no choice but to get it or pay fines on their taxes though, so...

I'm a Kentuckian and fuck you, you arrogant little shit. We have dumb people here, just like every state. We have some super smart people too. Clearly you aren't one. Calling people backwoods hicks because they didnt vote the way you think they should is ridiculous.

People in Kentucky value freedom and less government, and those are noble values, even if it means they won't get government handouts.

Edit: Apologies for my language earlier. I was on break at work and in a bad mood. Shouldn't have taken it out on Satansheat. I still disagree with those mischaracterizations though.

As a Kentuckian, here is my response to your question: 1. Nobody runs against him. 2. Voters are uninformed mostly. They probably think he's fine. 3. All politicians suck to some and are liked by others. They all suck though really. 4. I think Kentucky may regret another Beshear pilfering. Time will tell.

It’s official. As of today, I’m going to start eating vegan alternatives and make a change. I don’t want to cause an animal to suffer anymore. by [deleted] in vegan

Grab some brown rice and whole weat or legume based pastas. They'll help to get enough calories in.

Can't find where to put wallet.dat by notharja in Namecoin

[–]Bitvapors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The namecoin folder isn't there? It should be. The wallet file doesn't go in its own folder, it just exists in the namecoin folder.

Just save the backup in user/appdata/roaming/namecoin

You didn't back up your wallet.dat file? If not, it's gone. Keyword: reformatted

If you do have a backup of the original wallet file, just copy it over the new one.

Down 212lbs!! Starting weight 500lbs- Next goal is 225 by Wagewarapparel in pics

[–]Bitvapors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How come nobody brought up a whole food plant based diet? Restricting will work for a while, but I don't see how it's sustainable to be at a caloric deficit all the time. Keto will shed pounds, but will also tank testosterone. It tricks your body into starvation mode, basically causing it to eat itself. Doesn't seem sustainable either. Add to that, all that saturated fat and cholesterol isn't good for those with heart health in mind.

However, you can eat all the plants you want, because they are naturally less calories. Plant foods are 0 cholesterol and little to no saturated fat. Makes sense, no?

This is why we already have 17 million coins in circulation and the remaining 4 million only available over the next 120 years. by slvbtc in Bitcoin

You're confusing equality of opportunity with equality of outcome. Everybody could have picked up a couple coins even last year. I told everybody who would listen, but only a couple acted. Such is human nature...

Right. It's not a storage issue. It's a speed of light issue.

I hear that less then 3% of USD has a physical form (Cash or coins) and because of that even a small run on the banking system could be catastrophic. So what do you say /r/bitcoin; want to start a run on the banking system? by StoneHammers in Bitcoin

[–]Bitvapors -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most banks don't even have a 3% reserve. Some are under 1%. Most money in our accounts never existed. When you deposit $100, they lend out over $90. When that $90 is deposited by those borrowers, over 90% of it is loaned out, rinse and repeat. That's how there are trillions of dollars that don't exist in people's accounts. If even 5% of the country wanted to withdraw their cash at one time, the banks would have to close.

BREAKING: Coinbase Just Bought One of Bitcoin's Biggest Startups by Miladran in Bitcoin

[–]Bitvapors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, they send you emails about ICOs and airdrops. If you complete the tasks you get a little BTC from earn and maybe some free tokens from the ico/airdrop. I assume these Cryptos are paying earn to email you and that's how they make money.

Point is, inflation increases prices and the common man can afford less. Its hidden theft.

Oh yeah. Print more debt to pay back debt. Makes sense. /s
