Treated to an ice cream yesterday in Porthlevan, nice two scooper with rum and raisan plus salted caramel. Walked about 10 steps from the van and a fucking seagul swooped over my head and took the entire cone and 2 scoops out of my hand and flew off. Greedy bastard ate the whole thing in about three gulps on a sea wall close by. Was actually quite impressive.Shitting in a hole in the ground.
Though there is a bike centre about a mile away that has a little cafe and a proper shitter. I'll treat myself to an ice cream while I'm there.
Same thing happened to a mate in Cornwall. All leaning on a sea wall waiting for a ferry - seagull swooped down in front of us, we watched it fly off thinking "WTF, why so close?!" - then my mate looked down and all that was left was the bottom 3rd of his cone, cleanly cut - as if by a razor.Treated to an ice cream yesterday in Porthlevan, nice two scooper with rum and raisan plus salted caramel.

Heron Gulls are protected so can't touch them. The only thing you can do is get the council to move nests if they are stopping you from sleeping. We have about 10 nests within 25M of us and the noise can be crazy but I sleep like the dead and you do get used to it over time. The youngsters are fledging now and they are starting to leave so will be quiet again in a week or two.Can't shoot the fuckers either.
ROFLSeagulls are getting worse. I saw exactly the same ice cream theft in Dublin a few weeks ago, and I'm sure there's a Fail Army video of me chasing a bastard gull who picked up a pot of noodles I'd put down on a bench beside me in Stephen's Green last year. He swooped down and grabbed the entire paper bag they were in. He could only fly about three feet off the ground but the fucker got away from me by flying across the lake in the park.
Apart from it being easily and heavily manipulated by the rich, it creates a huge and ongoing carbon footprint.
It may well have good motives in its design, as usual it's been hijacked, well and truly. Most people that buy into it are buying literally nothing on the hope of making some money, the only people making real money out of it are traders. Musk would have been locked up by now if it was shares or commodities. He can make millions from it from a quick tweet on the shitter.
Evidence please.Apart from it being easily and heavily manipulated by the rich, it creates a huge and ongoing carbon footprint.
He got a slap on the wrist when he manipulated the tesla share price. I don't recall him getting locked up for it, but maybe I'm wrong. 🤷Musk would have been locked up by now if it was shares or commodities
Evidence please.
When submitting evidence - please take into account the carbon footprint of operating (multiple, disparate) FIAT monetary systems (so all the trad. banking, financial services systems, corporations which could effectively be replaced by "the internet") and a thesis on why these systems, which are not only opaque and under hidden ownership but easily and heavily manipulated by the rich by virtue of being originally designed by the rich for the rich - should be trusted more than transparent technologies born out of frustration with the existing criminal financial systems and their systematic stealing of wealth from the masses, as most recently demonstrated by the 2008 financial crash and the massive consolidation of wealth by the super-rich that Covid has given them.
Why are they worse than all that?
I dont. Was just an interesting way of destroying shed loads of hardware. Why do you assume i hate it so much?Why do you have so much against bit coin mining?
I fail to see how any of this has any bearing on what I wrote?Oh, he burnt a pile of tyres, why shouldn't I?
No, no thank you. We need to get away from that mindset.

Simply repeating the same wrong shit doesn't make it right Raven.Current situation. Crypto = excessive carbon footprint for what is essentially nothing.
Doesnt mean i hate it. I came across the video on twitter, i didnt search for it. I agree its a waste of resources. But i dont hate it. Hate is a strong word. And there are very few things in this world i actually hate.Because you posted this 'what to do with a bit coin mining operation in Malaysia'
then you 'liked' Raven's anti-crypto argument?
No idea how I came to that conclusion.

and me liking @Raven post was after you asked if i hated it.
using proof something that happened after the question was asked is dumb
