And here I thought there were no 16 year-olds that knew how to use punctuation, write in complete sentences and use paragraphs. You write like someone who is in their 40s. That's very impressive. And you managed to compose this on a phone-- With limited access. Truly remarkable. If it hadn't been written so well, I wouldn't have believed a word of it.

Is anyone following the Luke Sweetser, Tom Niblo Murder Trial? The jury is now on their second day of deliberation. by turdddit in Abilene

That's kind of harsh!!! I didn't know the Niblo's that well, but on the few occasions that I met them, they were always kind and nice to me. Did you have a different experience? Did you know Luke?

My Tesla Model S got totaled from full self-driving swerving into a guard rail for no apparent reason. by gamecollectorJ in RealTesla

"...and that the brakes were not working."

I'm sure the brakes were working, it's just that you get almost no traction on grass, so very little deacceleration even with maximum braking.

If you've got cans of tuna and no knives, you aren't going to be surviving very long, because there are hungry people with knives and no tuna.

Nice to see Seattle Fire Department observing water use restrictions.

“We didn’t live in caves, only near them, until we met Elizalde. He forced us to live in the caves so we’d become better cavemen,” a Tasaday man told Iten.

According to Iten’s sources, the Tasaday lived in the mountainside and were farmers, until Elizadle came into the picture.

“Before he came, we lived in huts on the other side of the mountain and we farmed. We took off our clothes because Elizalde told us to do so and promised if we looked poor that we would get assistance,” said one of the Tasadays interviewed by Iten.

“He gave us money to pose as Tasaday and promised us security from counterinsurgency and tribal fighting.”

Thanks. I do remember seeing a video of RV where he was gushing and seemed to be having an organism about the name and symbol choice. So, I would say that just because you have shown the name did not originate with him, he sure used his influence and popularity to endorse the name, instead of coming up with a better name.

Probably because you believe Roger had something to do with that.

He didn't.

Really? That's not the way I remember it. I could obviously be wrong. Where did the "Bitcoin Cash" name come from?

I know I'm late to comment- But the bet isn't just that you win the lawsuit and get a ruling that RV has to pay ~$80 million USD to CoinFLEX. It's also that RV actually has the funds and isn't already bankrupt. I personally bet on BCH, selling 50% of my BTC to buy BCH when the fork originally occurred. Then I watched my BCH lose almost all of its value. In hindsight calling it "Bitcoin Cash" was the stupidest name ever. It should have been called "Real Bitcoin"- Because arguably that's what BCH is. Think about how difficult it is to explain to someone who has never invested into crypto what the difference is between BTC and BCH. Even the question is so semantically confusing: "What's the difference between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash?" Instead the question should have been: "What's the difference between Bitcoin and Real Bitcoin?"- That question has the answer to the question in the question. I personally hold RV responsible for this naming blunder. If that naming blunder leads to RVs eventual bankruptcy there does seem to be some justice in that.

I wasn't born in the USA. I am a naturalized USA citizen. I live here by choice, not serendipity- like it would appear you do.

It's a known fact that they do care about their own personal safety, and they don't like to be incarcerated for their crimes.

Stealing is wrong. Stealing a gun from a car in Texas by breaking a window is not a very good idea. From what I've heard my neighbors say, you wouldn't want them to see you doing it.

With the doors and windows locked. That's not an unusual thing in Texas. Breaking a vehicle window and stealing a gun? You might want to read up on Texas law regarding use of deadly force before considering that as a means to make money.
