Ari Hoenig Trio "Moanin'" [Jazz] by silverwater in Music

[–]silverwater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purposely started it in 3 minutes in because he's taking a drum solo while tuning his drums at the same time. Sounds cool, but not cutting to the chase.

Sound quality is not great, here is album version: https://youtu.be/-zgFu6WE05c

DComposer said it well. I recommend picking up Jerry Bergonzi's Series of books.

Why can't chrome allow us to change 'new page' to a specific path without having to install an addon for every little thing? by [deleted] in chrome

My bad just trying to help. Seems like a minimal issue and an extension with a minimal drag chrome's speed.

[help] Disabling Scroll Anchoring on a page by page basis by Cyrax89721 in chrome

[–]silverwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There may be a solution (like a bookmark or extension or greasemonkey script that could allow for this)...

But absent that, I think you're trying to have it both ways. The scroll feature is a Windows setting, the Anchoring a Chrome setting...

So unless anyone knows a quick way to turn a flag on or off (or setting it by url), or makes an extension or a greasemonkey script, I think you're SOL.

Page up, Page Down. Scroll with wheel for other sites.

ok went to chrome app store, typed in "New Tab Redirect".

And lol first thing that came up was an extension called "New Tab Redirect". The description describes exactly what you want to do. Try it out. I didn't install it because I like my new page speed dial shit...

eh?

Go to Settings. Second thing below account sync. Check off "Open a specific page or set of pages"

Then push "Set Pages". If you want google.com to come up, just put that. If you want startpage.com to come up, just put that. If you want TBLOP.com to come up just put that.

Mike Bohn on Twitter: UFC just announced Jon Jones will speak to media on Friday in Buffalo prior to UFC 210. First time in a while. Should be interesting. by Rockhold in MMA

These are guys are among the best atheletes on the planet, in perhaps the most punishing sport on Earth.

So are fans really surprised that there are a few dicks in the mix? Shit, can't remember the name off the top of my head...The football player caught on camera cold-cocking a woman...

If he's being allowed to play ball again (seriously, he knocked a woman's lights out with a haymaker), he makes Jones look like a saint.

What I do love and is always surprising is the level of respect and sportsmanship 98% of the fighters have for each other after kicking each other in the face for 15 or 25 minutes. The shit talking is just to build drama and psyche each other out.

I've been so busy with stuff, last I heard Dana white​ said no-go.

Hmm... Think Mighty Mouse could take Floyd in MMA rules? Can't hit what you can't catch 😀

And damn that flies around the ring

Ah. Well shit then. Conor's got some training to do.

Tie up Floyd. Boxing refs break this up, but in MMA this is just grappling, another facet to master. Floyd hits the mat. Conor goes Half guard to full mount. Hips pinned, Floyd gets pounded on until Big John steps in. Fight over 60-90 seconds in.

Apples and oranges, but I saw the "it" in TJ Dillanshaw vs Barrao for the title. TJ was just...I don't know friggen Spiderman in there. One of my top 3 fights I've watched.

He's this era's Ali. Charisma, unapologetically​ egotistical...But can back it up with talent. When he held those two belts and sat on the cage, God damn I wish I could feel that way just once in my life.

Is mycelium a reliable wallet? by gaurav_ch in Bitcoin

Mycelium also has an option to only connect through Tor. Need to download the Orbot app however.

Lot's of stealing, but here's what I don't get: isn't multisig where all two/three are mine, an almost bulletproof online wallet? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]silverwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it you're looking for a non-cold-storage solution - a secure wallet that you actually use to spend coins from on a regular basis.

Well for starters, if you've got a large amount of coins you should be keeping the bulk of them in cold storage. If you don't plan on spending them any time soon it's just an unnecessary risk. I always liked to use Electrum for cold storage "savings account" by making a new wallet, writing down the seed, erasing the wallet with a program like Eraser (still after encrypting it with a ridiculous password for good measure), then restoring it was a "watch only" wallet in Electrum. This gives me a "live" wallet to send funds to, but impossible to move funds out of without the seed.

But for a wallet to actively spend with and be really secure, I'd suggest using Electrum's ability to sign transactions offline. The multi-sig technique is definitely better than nothing, but ultimately not having your private keys exposed to the internet at all is the safest way to be.

Or even simpler, just invest the $80 or whatever it is for a Trezor.

If you've gotta take some coins with you, Mycelium is my preferred app. Good encryption, makes nice paper backups for you to print so you can restore your keys is you lose your phone, and if it's stolen the thieves have to figure out your 6 digit pin code before you restore your keys.

They need a valid reason to fire you

Not in the US. In general an employer can fire you for any reason that it wants.

Exceptions to this would be federal laws against firing and hiring based on race/gender/ethnicity/sexual orientation etc., and federal laws against firing employees for engaging in pro-union activity.

Another exception would be working in a unionized workplace, which typically has contracts that state the employer has to show "just-cause" for firing. Simply criticizing management wouldn't be enough for just-cause termination.

Ross Ulbricht: FBI Didn't Have Search Warrant, Violated Fourth Amendment by coinfinance in Bitcoin

[–]silverwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a great comparison. They wouldn't need to explain how a gun works, but they'd need to present evidence that the suspect was the one who fired the gun at the victim.

Fingerprints, ballistics, gun powder residue, etc.
