That scene from the Watchmen movie where the girl puts the iconic flower in the barrel of the soldier's gun and he just blows her away.

I got to get that as a gif

Do the condoms actually have two Olympics cartoon avatars bumping nasties on the packaging?

That seems more like an encouragement to me.

Imagine, if you will, a beautiful tropical island. The sun is shining, there's a warm breeze that smells faintly of coconuts, and the sound of the surf breaking against the shore is steady and gentle. All over the white sand beach are hundreds, thousands, maybe millions, of little reddish-orange crabs. Crabs on rocks, crabs on logs, crabs just about everywhere you look. And they are all dancing.

You know, this brings up a really interesting point about bitcoin that I'd never thought of before. As far as I remember, the number of bitcoins that can be generated is finite, as the mining algorithm becomes more complex until it is impossible to solve. It makes sense in theory; you don't want bitcoins to be generated forever because they would constantly be depreciating in value.

But, on the other side of the coin (heh), bitcoins can be permanently lost. Again, as far as I know, once a Bitcoin has been lost on a physical drive, it can never be recovered. which would mean, that at some point not only will the number of bitcoins in the world stop increasing, it will actually begin to decrease, because there will always be accidents where people lose hard drives, forget passwords, etc.

So doesn't that mean that bitcoin won't exist forever? Unless they divide them into smaller and smaller pieces, which I think also has a limit, at some point the number of bitcoins will decrease until there aren't enough left.
