It's at this point that it becomes clear it's a total cult. Do they even hear the words they are saying??

It's a little light in detail, but seems to be saying that they have installed three hydro turbines that give the village electricity. Whatever excess electricity they generate is used to run a BTC mining rig, but it doesn't really explain what happens to any BTC they successfully mine. Who owns it? How much can they realistically mine? After halving there will only be around 400 BTC mined daily across the whole globe, so how much one village with a water powered generator can mine is probably going to be quite small If you scale this up, it just means the rewards are spread more thinly Not convinced

It's certainly the largest flaw in the bitcoin design, that it takes such massive amounts of energy to mine, so I hope they can figure it out. That and the fact that it's just 0s and 1s on a computer at the end of the day. Come the next Carrington event, they will all just disappear. At least gold as a store of value actually exists!

where can you watch it? Sounds good! scratch that - I see it on Disney Plus. Added to watchlist

Good article about Voyager 1 here, and how they think they may be able to issue a Jet Set Willy-style poke to get the computer working again, but it at least demonstrates the problem of how long it takes to send and receive messages https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/14/voyager_1_not_dead/ That's going to be heaps of fun for Johnny Martian - sat there holding his breath, waiting for an answer to the request he's sent back to earth to ask how he fixes the oxygen system...

And of course - because of the wonders of blockchain, there should be no way of avoiding the tax

It's amazing what they can say openly in countries where gagging orders don't apply..

Sounds like it's not the only one

why can't you understand her though?

This is more like it - by all means have a dig about how she is really not that funny. But mocking her disability is really low - even for i-ram

6 in 4? Makes Gayle's stats look crap 😂

The same but The Monkees film "Head" when the Davy Jones dance routine started strobing black and white

What I can say is that I have found the following rule to be true when it comes to DIY Before using "No More Nails" to affix something - ask yourself "is this a job that I would normally use nails for?"

You see I didn't care AT ALL - but now you've added proper intrigue!

Genuinely who cares? It's the lead story on the BBC new site 🤷🏼‍♂️

Interesting to see the latest development in AI wars - tools for creators that are designed to secretly "poison" their work so that AIs can't scrape and learn from them https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/what-is-glaze.html https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html

Not exactly precision finishing for any of them, but they all count. 5 goals in 3 appearances now - he's obviously doing something right

I'm not an accountant, so I stand to be corrected but can't losses be carried forward and used to offset against future profits, reducing the tax liability in subsequent years? That may not be it, but I feel sure there must be some financial benefit to the club in "giving away" shirt sponsorship to a charity, otherwise we are deliberately throwing income away when every penny counts

A UK business can make a charitable donation and claim tax relief on the donation. Either by deducting the value of the donation from the total profits before tax is calculated (reducing taxable profits), or by reducing the Corporation Tax it pays by an amount equal to the basic rate tax on the grossed-up value of the donation.

Hmm - but realistically we could "give it away" to a charity or we could class it as a charitable donation and reduce our tax burden as a result. Which do you think the accountants of a cash-strapped large football club would recommend?

I grew up next door to a Convent on one side and a record shop on the other One was HMV and the other was a Virgin Megastore

Quantuma was allegedly "specialists" in sports club administration weren't they? And they appeared to really struggle. In which case it would be a fair bet that a common or garden insolvency practitioner would have been an even bigger debacle

I hadn't really thought much about the shirt sponsor being "given away" to the NSPCC, but presumably a commercial sponsor would be paying quite a lot of money (£100k+?) to be the main sponsor on the shirt of a club the size of Derby, so donating that spot to the NSPCC would count as a charitable donation and lower our tax bill?

If we don't go up, I can definitely see PW resigning. He has one job - get us out of this horrible sh**ty league. He's got a great track record in L1, and even in his 2 seasons here, he's had us consolidated in the play-off places for the majority of his tenure, so he clearly know what he's doing....to an extent But he's obviously sick of the grief he gets from the vocal fans that hate him. Why would anyone put up with that when pretty much every other club in this league would snap his hand off. And with Rotherham likely coming back down, he's got a ready-made opportunity right there I for one look forward to seeing which manager we replace him with that everyone can slag off to high heaven if we don't play like Brazil against a team of cloggers that's parked the bus
