What I learned today is this: Coming up with ideas to use in the BTC world is much harder than normal (like the paid-for content delivery system). The idea of running multiple online business ventures (Dream Islands lottery, Dream Islands Publishing-upcoming and others) that work with BTC is much harder than I realise. I hope that they can lift off in the BTC world,If not, I'll have to go back to dealing with GBP and the taxman.

Today's the 9th (almost), and Bitcoin 100 is right on track in reaching its goal of gaining 30 new members for April. Currently, for the month of April, we gained 0 new members. At this point, I wish to now thank each new member, individually.

Can't we get at least 10 new members by just having every new Atlas alt pledge once?

Today I learned that when Phinnaeus writes 'member' he actually doesn't mean 'penis', which is good because I was starting to feel insecure about the unary genitalia I have.

I also didn't feel like trying to get more.

Or, perhaps, I do mean penis. See the 30pt red "0"? Does the Story of O now come to mind?

Well, yes but I don't recall binary or trinary tallywhackers in 'The story of O'. Maybe it's time for a reread. I haven't read it since I was going through puberty (and this alone probably accounts for a lot).

Hell about half of the internet is furries. And the other half is hentai-loving weeabos. And the third half is hentai-furries.

Disney and Japan have a lot to answer for.

That was actually a very interesting article, too bad more sites wouldn't share statistics and details.

There is a site, though its name eludes me, that breaks down statistics and details of any URL you input.

I've learned that my 50MHz oscilloscope is completely identical to the 100MHz model except for firmware. And how to hack it into the 100MHz model.

Funny you should bring that up, for I have one exactly like the one pictured below that I was planning on selling for bitcoins.

I learned that although Puss in Boots became Spanish in Shrek cartoons due to being voiced by Antonio Banderas, and then Mexican for some unknown reason in the Puss in Boots movie, the original story and Puss in Boots was French. (American fairy tale movies ruin everything)

Also, a "McDouble" is cheaper than a standard double cheeseburger, but appears to be the same thing. WTF?

Double Cheeseburger = Cheese + Burger + Cheese + Burger
McDouble                       = Cheese + Burger + Burger
Double Cheeseburger is more expensive due to the extra slice of cheese.

Now you've learned something new today.

I learned that McDonalds will still charge you $6 for a Fillet-o-fish meal on $1.50 Fillet-o-fish friday.



When will you learn their fish-squares are one of the most disappointing items on the menu?
Another total ripoff is the little "chicken" bite things. They are mostly "bite" (bread), and hardly any chicken at all. Also, a "McDouble" is cheaper than a standard double cheeseburger, but appears to be the same thing. WTF?
