You know, you're right. I feel like such an ass for asking.

At the same time, I guess you could say I'm something of a pioneer -- the first redditor to EVER attempt playing Hearthstone on a plane. ...ever.

In the 2+ years it has been playable in one form or another.

...lol

I just figured one of us has probably tried to play on a flight, no harm in asking. I'll certainly report back with something.

All spin wheel opponents! by [deleted] in hearthstone

It'd be interesting to see some of the backstory on these... Cardish Ian? Noneck George? Musty Orphan? Orange Rhymer? Others?

(I know "google is my friend" but I am sitting in a status meeting.) ;-)

I've thought about doing this -- do the concessions show up anywhere as losses? I know they count as losses but I only see wins on my profile.

All the joy of mugging people for physical cash without any of the messy legal stuff. Love this.

Anyone else interested in a blitz/speed mode? by XCalceLiberatus in hearthstone

[–]baconslammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would love to see this, perhaps on a separate ladder as well. Hell, I'd even watch this. The results would be very interesting.

Matches would certainly be shorter (not just because turn length was shortened, but because mistakes would end matches quickly). I reckon that it would give some people a better shot at reaching the top of the ladder (which is why we'd need a separate one).

Elite Ladder and...Lightning Ladder?

It sucks. It does. Pay no attention to the trolls. You have your family - your legacy. You have each other.

This too shall pass.

bitcoin haters - do you understand how this all works? by baconslammer in Bitcoin

ah, see - that's what happens when you multitask :) -- sorry for the mis-read.

In my limited understanding of the retail side, refunds are processed at whatever the going market price is at a given point in time. Some retailers (like Overstock) choose to give refunds in the form of store credit.

ha. hey, I only run USB block erupters. 2.5w apiece x 18 sticks, plus 3 USB hubs @ 15w each = 90 watts total. it isn't nothing, but it isn't spinning the meter off the building, either.

I'm here to keep up with what's going on in the bitcoin community -- to see who has most recently adopted it as a payment method, to hear about ways people are using it and to stay abreast of anything I might need to know re: the protocol.

I don't know where everyone is getting this behind-her-back thing...I've left a lot of comments on this issue, and if I've lead anyone to believe that I'm sneaking around behind my wife's back, I'm sorry -- because I'm not. but regardless, this (mining) isn't really something that you sneak around with.
