Sure. You're a useless cunt and when you die it will massively improve the life of everyone you know. Welcome to the truth my friend.

No, the price was rising well before any of the "whales" came in. You're just writing a narrative that suits your existing preconceptions.

Yes, that's true. I guess I don't oppose it because I don't care. But I certainly know many developers whore highly concerned about their pay.

By learning what they are. It's not that difficult. A pyramid scheme of any sort requires new participants continually. Crypto currency does not.

Everyone having information is called "universal education". It's not a bad thing.

Actually, it wouldn't need to be that long. The circumference of the moon is 40k kilometres, so assuming the site was in the center of the far side (though there's no reason it needs to be), that would put it at ~10,000 km from si

Vague bet. What does "worth nothing" mean? Obviously collectibles will be worth something and even crappy cars will have scrap value.

Have you genuinely never seen people refer to, say, $10k to mean ten thousand dollars? It's very common.

That's fair enough. I didn't grow up in an ideal environment, but I also did have enough encouragement to end up where I am today.

How do I know that two objects are either receding or approaching? Because it's obvious. Think about it yourself. Edit: ah, wait, your theory says that approaching objects look the same as receding ones. I think you need to justify tha

Don't criticize your parents for not knowing as much as you do. I'm sure they hoped that would be the case.

Wow. Although there are elements I disagree with, that said is a very well argued and explained point. I suspect there are few here that will read through it though. Might be better as a blog.

Galaxies are either approaching or receding from our perspective. How could they possibly be stuck in some "place"? Your theory makes no sense.

That's completely wrong I'm afraid. In terms of popularity (number of fans) Rugby is about as popular as American Football, at around 9th most popular sport. The top two are 1. Association Football (aka soccer), 2. Cricket Boxing

Ok, I didn't realize anyone would really think that only legal documents could be used in court. It seems an utterly bizarre idea to me. Did you think that an eyewitness account of a murder would be inadmissible because it's not a

That's just nonsense. There is absolutely no need for UK cattle to be fed soya-based feeds and if finishing lots have recently started using them, it's for a minor percentage increase which might be financially worthwhile but cert

Yes, that is what it says. Not "cannot be used in court". Just that they consider the English version authoritative. Are you trying to tell me you can't tell the difference between these statements?

Well, firstly you have a fence-post error: 2002-2012 is eleven data points. So, lets reverse your methodology. Let's look at 2002-2010 and then 2010-2020. Now we see that in fact the trend is accelerating . I think that answers your q
