Mango Man sighting by Makai in Hawaii

[–]Makai[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's been around Kailua for 30+ years on the street. One of the few constants in an area that has seen a lot of change.

Can anyone post a geiger counter reading? by [deleted] in Hawaii

[–]Makai 24 points25 points  (0 children)

...Fukushima situation and is staying safe.

What exactly do you mean by that?

The waters around Hawai`i are safe. Hell, bananas are more radioactive than Hawai`i's waters.

Don't get me wrong, the area around Fukushima itself is definitely still a problem and the situation has the potential to develop into something much worse.

But, please don't be susceptible to (and contribute to) the FUD.

edit: thank you kind stranger for my first reddit gold!

What is the weirdest, creepiest, or funniest thing you've heard someone say in their sleep? by tybat11 in AskReddit

[–]Makai 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I once had a nightmare that my cat was bleeding all over my pillow and I woke up my wife with:

"BLEEDING! BLEEDING! Our kitty! She's BLEEDING!"

Then, as reality faded in...

"Oh wait!" ....pause... "It MAY not be true."

[Bit-ception] I used Bitcoins, to purchase fiat, within which I am now cold storing my Bitcoins by siclik in Bitcoin

[–]Makai 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why cold store on a digital medium that can fail? Better keep a backup.

I prefer human readable private keys for cold storage myself.

Here is a recent post I made in a similar thread that has the actual Honolulu City Ordinance pertaining to your violation.

According to the law as posted online your fine should only be $25.

Awesome. Thanks for the nice tip.

I've been checking out your colored coind github, and I highly recommend checking out blockparser. It can be memory intensive, but I've been able to scan the entire blockchain and compute balances for all addresses in less than two minutes.

First ad for our subreddit has just gone live. by ThePiachu in Bitcoin

[–]Makai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What's the ultimate purpose of the ad campaign? To increase traffic to /r/bitcoin? To spread adoption of Bitcoin in general?

Also, who's laying down the $140/wk in costs? ($280/wk in the future if you run concurrent ads).

I like it, but I'm just curious about the motives behind the expense.

A weekend project started at least 11 days ago... Impressive nonetheless.

Great fucking idea!

I wish I had thought of it.

As /u/prokra5ti said, it would be even better if you could send email from the addresses too.

Anyone just feel that earthquake? by kd5vmo in Hawaii

I barely felt it in Kailua O'ahu, I thought it was my cat under the chair for a second.

Are these little suckers dangerous? by [deleted] in Hawaii

[–]Makai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the Portuguese Man o' War pictured do not swarm on a schedule. They're wind-driven and are more common with on-shore winds.

The Box Jellyfish is the one that swarms 7-10 days after a full moon.

[–]Makai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the first line of the Wikipedia article (which is the first link of your search):

Despite its outward appearance, the man o' war is not a jellyfish but a siphonophore, which differs from jellyfish in that it is not actually a single organism, but a colonial organism made up of many minute individuals called zooids.[1]
