(trilema) nubbins`: shit, substitute teachers make $35-40/hr
(trilema) nubbins`: yup

(trilema) nubbins`: "making it fit for the gentry"
(trilema) nubbins`: nice word hey?
(trilema) nubbins`: generally it's a mix of poor drug addicts and professionals
(trilema) nubbins`: due to the wonders of gradual gentrification, there are very few "poor areas" in my city larger than a block or so
(trilema) nubbins`: doubly so if you're in a "first world neighbourhood" of said country
(trilema) nubbins`: Namworld this is generally true of anyone living in a "first world" country

(trilema) nubbins`: altho TBF if he's realized he just blew too big of a wad and wants $$ back, i think ATC will be a bit of a hard sell
(trilema) nubbins`: well, i tell ya what. there's this guy, see, and he wants to sell a coin
(trilema) nubbins`: "hello sir plz to rebuy"
(trilema) nubbins`: me rebuying a casascius coin
(trilema) nubbins`: also, i got this weird twinge in my sides at 11:54, strange
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu i can ask him if he'd accept ATC... what's 6BTC worth of ATC these days, anyway?
(trilema) nubbins`: yep
(trilema) nubbins`: (this is the same sort of jack that headphone+microphone combos use)
(trilema) nubbins`: w/e, you know what i mean :D
(trilema) nubbins`: tip-two-ring-sleeve
(trilema) nubbins`: wellllll, still a tip-two ring-sleeve jack
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: suppose you could make one out of an old tape recorder and a few lines of objective-c
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah
(trilema) nubbins`: that really is a crypto-turd
(trilema) nubbins`: MisterE yep, turn a tablet into a PoS
(trilema) nubbins`: wow, look at that.
(trilema) nubbins`: too bad
(trilema) nubbins`: neat
(trilema) nubbins`: ah hey, Square gives you a free card reader when you sign up for an account
(trilema) nubbins`: bullion is a nice hedge
(trilema) nubbins`: well, ya know... amagimetals.com, silvergoldbull.com, etc :D
(trilema) nubbins`: heh.
(trilema) nubbins`: MisterE: it's a real thing, imagine ;D
(trilema) nubbins`: nah, he's smarter than that
(trilema) nubbins`: i personally gave him something over 60btc
(trilema) nubbins`: but yes, at the time he stopped, he no doubt had a massive pile of btc
(trilema) nubbins`: afaik he was independently wealthy before he started making coins
(trilema) nubbins`: empty 25s go for several hundred
(trilema) nubbins`: depends, maybe a hundred bucks for a brass
(trilema) nubbins`: it's shocking
(trilema) nubbins`: so all the poor rubes go "ah, less than 2x face, great deal", thinking that's how coins are priced.
(trilema) nubbins`: because "less than 2x face"
(trilema) nubbins`: 25btc coin: 35-40btc
(trilema) nubbins`: go figure
(trilema) nubbins`: 2011 1btc with series-2 holo (much more rare): 2btc
(trilema) nubbins`: 2011 1btc with series-1 "error" holo: 3-5btc
(trilema) nubbins`: the casascius market is on drugs
(trilema) nubbins`: kakobrekla: honestly i don't know.

(trilema) nubbins`: joecool i've seen rubes offering upwards of 25btc, but this is a guaranteed loss.
(trilema) nubbins`: unfortunately kako already used the largest eyes possible
(trilema) nubbins`: the last silver 0.5btc coin i sold (rare holo, mintage 45) went for 6btc
(trilema) nubbins`: the silver 1btc coins fetch 2.1-2.3 these days
(trilema) nubbins`: mike_c: depends on the coins. brass ones in general pull smaller premiums
(trilema) nubbins`: percentage over face isn't a great way to price them, it's better to think in terms of absolute value over face
(trilema) nubbins`: but i'm not about to buy a coin off some random noob with no trust ;p
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, i feel bad for the guy
(trilema) nubbins`: "I've been reconsidering my finances and I'm not sure I am in a position to hold on to this collectors item"
(trilema) nubbins`: asciilifeform: only way to be certain is to buy one and try to sell it ;p
(trilema) nubbins`: nobody was basically robbed :0
(trilema) nubbins`: Mats_cd03, i resent that!
(trilema) nubbins`: imagine
(trilema) nubbins`: heh, a guy i sold a casascius coin to has decided he really can't afford it and is wondering if i'll buy it back from him
(trilema) nubbins`: lel

(trilema) nubbins`: that's distinct from being official, tho

(trilema) nubbins`: BO KNOWS
(trilema) nubbins`: that's some bo jackson shit
(trilema) nubbins`: waiting
(trilema) nubbins`: vexual hangs in the balance

(trilema) nubbins`: 'cause you're always saying "a a now i get it" or "o"
(trilema) nubbins`: that's an O and an A
(trilema) nubbins`: 14:22:51locksmith:inch from me sitting dude my girlfriend's 1

(trilema) nubbins`: ante nope
(trilema) nubbins`: ^ is that a button or a switch? ;D
(trilema) nubbins`: heh.
(trilema) nubbins`: you don't HAVE TO write your critics into subsequent novels as micro-dick diddlers either :D
(trilema) nubbins`: well, ^
(trilema) nubbins`: but that's the way it goes
(trilema) nubbins`: almost all of his novels were eventually made into shitty movies, ghosts of their former selves
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, lels aside, he wrote good fiction. his early stuff -- the andromeda strain, the terminal man, the great train robbery, eaters of the dead, congo... all good
(trilema) nubbins`: character does not appear elsewhere in the book."
(trilema) nubbins`: "In March 2006, [journalist Michael] Crowley wrote a strongly critical review of State of Fear, focusing on Crichton's stance on global warming. In the same year, Crichton published the novel Next, which contains a minor character named "Mick Crowley", who is a Yale graduate and a Washington D.C.based political columnist. The character was portrayed as a child molester with a small penis. The
(trilema) nubbins`: crichton was interesting in that he's the only novelist i can think of who included a lengthy bibliography in each book
(trilema) nubbins`: "Most climate scientists dispute Crichton's science as being error-filled and distorted,[1][2][3][4][5][6] and it was described as "pure porn for global warming deniers" by one skeptical science journalist. [7]"
(trilema) nubbins`: he wrote jurassic park, among others
(trilema) nubbins`: read his book "state of fear", you'd love it
(trilema) nubbins`: heh.
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, re: global warming, what are ya, michael crichton? ;p
(trilema) nubbins`: i even forgot the "global warming" button
(trilema) nubbins`: jurov i wanted to strike while the iron was hot ;(

(trilema) nubbins`: gigposters.com forums have a "premium membership" option for $20/year
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, membership in the forum is by invite only, and i think being rude gets you banned or something
(trilema) nubbins`: i was thinking in terms of "u wot m8"
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: cryptocrypt.org
