When you've made enough of an impression on the hardcore trolls that they take the time to attack you personally, then you've really made it.
Huraay!

If you guys can resist quoting the trolls, maybe (just maybe) they'll go away. Jimbo I'm looking at you.
March 22, 2015, 06:32:47 PM
sorry guys.
Cool. Ignored by a troll. I finally made it. LOL
Does that mean I get bonus "street" (well, most of this forum is indoors, I guess) cred?

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the price slowly inches upward (for now).
BTC price goes up only so it could crash more spectacularly. How many times doe this need to be restated?

I think you should end your life.
Why is this not reported to the authorities and his IP BANDED?!
Cyberbullying is so wrong! What if he takes you up on it, huh? As if supporting terrorists with your terrorcoin wasn't enough
oh shush now, that was not bullying , I was trying to help.
Because I care for you.
I love you lamb.
Love?!! Is that what you filthy NAMBLA creepos call it?!
Keep it to yourself, mister!

EWWWwwwhoohoohoo!!

Don't be coy with me you slut.
Case in point.
Are you at least registered as a sex offender, Bitcoiner? Or would that be another so-called "invasion" of your privacy?

There will be a singularity soon where every single poster will be ignoring every other one. I think a Deeper Truth will emerge for the alien overlords observing from afar.

This place is free comedy!
BTW the price is two steps forward and one step back. Averaging $5 dollars a week in increase. At this rate we will hit $450 by the end of the year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_righting_reflex#Terminal_velocity
"Terminal velocity" is the maximum velocity of a body as it falls through air. Mathematically, the velocity at ground increases with the starting height, but beyond a certain height the increase is negligible.
The article says that (1) the terminal velocity for a cat is 100 km/h and (2) that velocity is pretty much attained when falling from 5-6 stories. One of these must be wrong, since a cat falling from 18 meters (6 generous stories) in vacuum would hit the ground at ~70 km/h only.
A veterinarians's paper cited in that WP article says:
Quote
Kapatkin and Matthiesen (1991) suggest that the type of injury depends upon the height of the fall and the landing surface. The severity of injuries rises linearly up to the seventh storey. After that height, the severity of injuries does not rise and and the incidence of fractures decreases. Of 22 cats that fell more than seven stories only one died, and among 13 cats that fell more than nine stories only one fracture was diagnosed. One cat that fell 32 stories suffered only mild pneumothorax and a chipped tooth (Whitney and Mehlhaff, 1987).
Robinson (1976)stated that the maximum recorded heights for survival were 18 stories on to a hard surface, 20 stories on to shrubbery, and 28 stories on to awning
Robinson (1976)stated that the maximum recorded heights for survival were 18 stories on to a hard surface, 20 stories on to shrubbery, and 28 stories on to awning
So there seems to be some reason to think that cats reach terminal velocity at relatively low height (8-10 stories); that the terminal velocity is quite a bit less than 100 km/h, perhaps half of that; and that a cat could indeed survive a fall from the Empire State Building (if it does not die of boredom along the way
)I do not think it would survive from the top of the state.
I have had this explained to me in some detail by a vet in the past, after an incident with a cat thrown out of a balcony type situation in Sydney (not my cat) and basically, they are fucked below a certain height, there is a sweet spot where they would survive, and then there is height from which if they fall, there is nothing that can stop the cats head, dipping, and they would most likely die.
But this is getting circular and I am not about to go and test this and when it comes down to it, I am not an expert in throwing cats off of a roof... beyond what I have been told by someone else... so I concede it could be wrong.. but that said, I would take a cash bet on this, and my bet would be kitty is fucked up beyond all repair from a flight off the empire state.

sorry guys.
You're not really good at this ignoring thingy?
March 22, 2015, 06:15:29 PM
And here I thought we'd be discussing the price.
-sigh-
Creeping up slightly these last few hours.
Refreshing to see on a Sunday.

There is a safety net a bit down from the top to prevent people from killing themselves. Your kitty will land there and come back up to cut you up.
Yeah man, dem furballs do not pull punches
A more pertinent question would be how big of a splat would Lamb make? if say one were to drop a cat off the top of the empire state onto Lamb on the ground... did I mention the cat is made of lead?
Just look at the time and effort he spends being a mildly annoying douche
Life is punishment enough

Nah, a golden cat. Bought with bitcoin. Dressed with dollar bills.
It would be poetic.
I like it.
Plan approved.
