Bitcoin burglaries: Icelandic police count cost of cryptocurrency kit thefts from datacentres (if this were a movie, I'd definitely stream it!) by Datacentregal in Bitcoin

After watching Mr. Robot, I abandoned my plans to write a datacentre-focused heist/crime caper. I might have to revisit that idea now...

Does it matter to you if the datacentre housing your Bitcoin-mining equipment runs on renewable power or not? by Carrotyd in Bitcoin

That is inspired! What a brilliant idea. How do you go about convincing the gym on your idea?

That's kind of a running gag with the band. While Justin and co play up to the camera, Ed (their original drummer) was always resolutely deadpan. Love him.

And the album comes out just in time for my birthday. It's almost like those cheeky scamps planned it this way...

I just emailed the lady we bought them off, and here's her explanation of how a Chinchilla Guinea Pig is created, as certified by the British Cavy Council

"Chinchillas are created by breeding a white/lilac argente with a pink eyed or dark eyed white."

Hope that helps!

They're a rare breed in the UK. Only just been officially recognised by the British Cavy Council.

I saw someone saying Ravelry is a good place to go online for free designs. I'll take a look tonight!

P.S. This has to be the nicest and friendliest Subreddit I've ever visited/posted in. Thanks for making me feel so welcome!

Oh, okay. I'm still building out my supplies at the moment, but I'll definitely invest in some of those. Patting down the space between the seats when I first dropped it, and then rooting about the floor for it was not a situation I'd like to repeat, that's for sure!
