    Never been much of a tennis fan though I used to do an annual corporate event at the US Open. It was fun watching the williams sisters play. And I think I saw Nadal play once.

    @Daniel said: That's fine. But what about the other things generated? I believe these things might include toxic waste water, toxic air, and noise pollution. The thing I linked to would simply replace the heating coil in otherwise typical water heating tanks. No reason to expect "toxic waste water, toxic air, and noise pollution." The concept is quite simple: bitcoin mining generates heat (do it in server farms and you have to find ways to dissipate all that heat), you also need heat to heat your water. So just do the bitcoin mining in your hot water tank so the heat generated from bitcoin mining is used to heat your water (as oppose to dissipated into the environment as done by most server farms today).

    This is such a shame. I love Nicki Minaj's music. Her latest "Christian" output no however. Says She’s ‘Not Going Anywhere’ After Donald Trump Calls Her His ‘Favorite’: ‘She’s Been With Me a Long Time’ bit.ly/47yfYd4 I've followed her since she was rapping on the streets of Queens, before she was discovered on My Space. I watched her become famous as the GOAT female rapper. I watched her fuse hip hop and pop. I'm saying I know her career inside and out. This is not who she ever was. This is not what she ever represented. In fact, this is contrary to we who she was and everything she's done. I'll post my favorite videos at some point. But this. Fair warning. The next thing I have to say will probably not be believed by many here but could not be more clear to me. She's been brainwashed. I'll leave it at that.

    @Axtremus Just like with reading music, I winged it! As soon as I had 4 syllables, I was there. No counting for me…

    Daniel said: @bernard I do a routine of things that are thebself care you're saying. And yes I avoid toxic people. I didn't used to have toxic people in my life. It took a lot of inner conflict and struggle and frankly financial resource but I achieved it. Of course I meant to say"did have" toxic people in my life.

    I love Barbara Kingsolver. I haven’t read anything by her in ages. The last book I read by her was Animal Vegetable Mineral. I also loved The Poisonwood Bible (both gardener related). Bean Trees, Prodigal Summer and Animal Dreams are the others Ive read, all when we lived in Idaho in the 90’s! But she’s written tons more. I will definitely check this latest one out. I’ve been using Steve’s new Kindle. I didn’t think I’d like it, but it’s really nice to read from. I may have to get my own the next time they are on sale.
