    God is obviously a builder by trade. Says he'll be back soon to finish off but we're still waiting.

    I remember watching it with friends in high school and I specifically remember when it went 24hours. For a few weeks they kept mentioning how long they’ve been continuously on air.

    Oh, I'm just being obnoxious. Forgive me. They say you don't talk about politics and religion in polite company. Really? Lol.

    Toured the Obama center museum last week. First impression going through? Realizing how much we've lost in such a short time. Second impression? Politics CAN be more than Fear, Lies, Grift and Cruelty.

    He has got a chance, given his age and record so far, of becoming the greatest ever player. Number of matches won, percentage won, Grand Slams won. All within his potential.

    @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.

    @kluurs doh! I bought that book on Kindle last year! I just haven't read it yet. And there's no audio version.
