"But Bitcoin is a great way to monetize excess renewables"
No, this was never true. If you make a capital investment in a mining rig, then you want that rig making you money 24hrs, not just when the rest of the grid is not consuming renewables.
Does anyone know the reasons for FSA accounts existing and who decided that unused funds for the year would disappear, leading to either profligate spending or people losing their money. And where does the money go? Correction re Flexible Savings accounts. I do know they exist and the differences between the two. My real purpose is to find out why the funds are lost in the inflexible accounts.
@ppatel Replying to @ppatel about HSAs:
It's a Grand Tradition, going WAY back, of our gambling system, to keep poor people squabbling internally instead of, e.g., slaughtering overlords.
Modern version was erected by a U.S. monkey-eared President and his Insurance/IRS/Drug LawyerHordes, after part of the U.S. systems of genocide/fratricide were boosted by R. Reagan.
My epiphany this morning from my walk. All those angry people, Karens, Kens, etc. might just be gamblers who've lost recently. Gambling ads are everywhere and they shout about how easy it is, how anyone can do it. I'd bet, sorry, that much of the anger we see these days is frustration and guilt from gambling losses. Prediction: As it has already in golf, gamblers will begin affecting the outcome of games/events by their behavior. #sports#gambling#addiction
Today I finished #OneOuts, a fantastic #sports#manga about #baseball, of all things, and also kinda #gambling, since Tokuchi Toua, the protagonist, makes a bet with the owner, who only accepted him due to the request of their star player Kojima, the only one who managed to beat Tokuchi in his gambling career and got him to play for his team. +5 million for every out, -50 million for every run, he has everything to lose, but will he?
It's the first day of #Scratchvent! Here's my advent calendar of 25 £1 scratchcards and a bonus £5 card for Dec 25. I'll be doing one per day and spreading out the inveitable disappointment over the entire month.
I have stats for the past six years. I've made my money back in just one year, but I've beaten the expected winnings (about 67% of cost) in four out of six years.
How will I fare this year? Let's get scratching...
