    No, it would not be funny.

    Why is it ok to rape a man and not the poor young teenage girl?

    Fuck you and your man-hating lack of morals.

  3. Re:Speculation on New Drug Mimics the Beneficial Effects of Exercise · · Score: 1

    Running, on its own, does not cause your knees to become weak or necessarily damaged.

    Bending my knees causes abrasion and damage to the bone. Running exacerbates that and adds tissue damage and impact damage.

    So yes, running does cause my knees to become damaged.

    It also hurts, and leaves me barely able to walk. I could run everywhere for an hour and use a walking stick for the next week, or I could just not run.

    Tell me, am I ignorant or are you talking bullshit? Note that your answer needs to take into account the very real evidence I can provide merely running over to kick you in the teeth if you even fucking pretend it doesn't hurt me.

    I did that to lose 70lb. Except I didn't feast on the feast days, I still only ate one meal, two at weekends.

    Everybody around me told me I was weird. I kept losing weight. Now everybody's advocating this miracle new diet.

    Then I started eating again on those fast days. Weight came back on. Frankly I'm just bored of not eating, and I get bored of exercise. I'm healthier than most people I know, just overweight, bordering on obese.

    I'd like to lose more weight but 7 meals a week just isn't healthily sustainable.

    and yet.. dancing for 6-10 hours every week, eating 9 meals a week, eating nothing between meals.. I can gain weight.

    Fuck skinny people and their metabolisms. Give me the pill.

    Yeah, this always confused me. A douche bag is used to squirt liquid into ladies intimate places; I consider this a hobby, not an insult.

    I believe this is where the UK has a massive advantage: Knowing I've published a public document means I can very happily tell Comcast in such a situation to just fuck off, with the full confidence that they'll lose in court.

    The US legal system is pretty much broken :(

    She's done some great work, and Groklaw was her toy so while I'll miss it, it's hers to take away. No criticism for that.

    I had a same-day delivery from Amazon in 1999. Admittedly this was when their UK warehouse was 4 miles from my office and when the Royal Mail delivered twice a day.

    It's not that I don't know of other search engines, or would struggle to find them, it's that, well, Google's _better_ than them.

    At least the world's moved on since Google became dominant; the rest aren't anywhere near as bad as they used to be. I'd still suffer frustration at the relative shitness of them though.

  17. Re:The Same Way They Know About Your Paper Money on Germany: Bitcoin Is "Private Money" · · Score: 1

    Cash machines in Europe almost always give me 50EUR notes, and occasionally (usually in airports) 100EUR ones.

    Both are far higher denomination than I'm used to in the UK, but never had trouble spending either (except at small shops where the change for a 100EUR note wipes our their entire float).

  18. Re:I'm out. Thank God on Germany: Bitcoin Is "Private Money" · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin mining is an oddity because you don't buy the coins but produce them and I don't know where it falls but I would guess CGT but electricity costs etc would be deductible from any profit before tax was due.

    If you produce them, I'd guess income tax applies. If you buy them then sell at a profit, CGT.

    Costs incurred would be deductible either way, and if you're mining significantly then operating as a business would probably lower your tax burden compared to straight income taxes.

    I'd personally check with the Inland Revenue though, I don't fuck about with taxes. It's not worth it for the sums I earn.
