Well then all of the worries about this child-porn being in the blockchain are warrantless. You could create a link to child-porn from this very comment I just posted using the right cipher. I am sure of it.

He doesn't do a lot of the new videos. It's lovely to hear his voice when he does, though. Makes you feel just a bit more special. Perhaps Sal doesn't have a great understanding of cryptography? He doesn't do a single cryptography video on

I should take a picture of my Local home depot's light bulb "selection", it truly is humorous. I picked up my two cree bulbs in an "end cap"-esque box today, however it was not at the end of any aisle, rather hidden away in the lamp section

I just bought a 5k and 2.7k versions from Home Depot here in Canada for $15.97 CAD each. My only gripe is the ~22% markup over the US pricing when the Canadian Dollar is worth ~2% more than the American (and has been for some time now). I f
