  1. Sorry, to break it down, BTC transaction fees are <10% of what they were during the recent rush. Is that due to the introduction of Segwit2 or is it due to the massive reduction in trading volume that was congesting the network, or both?
  2. Cheers for that; it's made me way more sympathetic to deaf people listening to music in general too.
  3. And wrt lights they could just get a blind and deaf one.
  4. It would certainly make policy making more interesting.
  5. I think the interpreters should sue for being forced to listen to Little Mix lyrics tbh.
  6. Wouldn't interpreters in the Hague, for example, have to translate on-the-fly with no rehearsal?
  7. Well, at least he's backup for Joselu. Really need two strikers of this quality to insure against injuries/shitness.
  8. The Romans must be a bit stale at this point.
  9. Also isn't ATP an Arab living in the US? Probably been on the receiving end of some rather scary abuse and I can see why I'd be upset if someone called me a racist under those circumstances.
  10. I think the fact that he qualified the statement with "footballers" is pretty important. English football fans have a terrible reputation around Europe, we might say "fucking England fans" when's there's an incident but it doesn't mean we dislike the English or even that we think all England fans are the same. It's more throwaway than that. The language used is a little strong but then @acrossthepond seems like quite an intense sort. Picking you up on a minor grammatical error, however, is unforgivable.
  11. Some great moments in there. The one where he dribbles it down the pitch for an open goal then hits it off the backboard at the last second and still gets up to put it in. How big a difference do the hitboxes make? I remember reading quite a big thread on Reddit about it not mattering, the devs apparently said it didn't matter, but the best players in the world obviously disagree. Do people generally save their boost and just forward roll when going for the kickoff?
  12. Massive reduction in transaction fees primarily Segwit2 or just volume?
  13. People queuing to avoid inconvenience.
  14. Aye, I agree with your target more and tbf I'm citing a study or two which I haven't even read the abstracts of that set the line at ~$75k, but when we take parity purchasing power into account might be more like £110k pa. I think the main point of those studies in that on average we are far better concentrating on things like family and friends and exploring what makes us tick than wasting our lives chasing that extra luxury for two weeks a year or an extra guest bedroom. I recently tried reading Five Regrets of the Dying and number two of the list was "working too much". I gave up on it because I found the whole thing too flowery and honestly think her blog post says all you need to know: http://www.bronnieware.com/blog/regrets-of-the-dying
  15. TBF we're evolutionarily programmed to seek more and more. Dopamine rewards are fleeting; we very quickly become accustomed to the new normal and need more. Ashley going from a couple billion to a million would probably hurt as much as @ChezGiven or @Park Life going from a couple million to £100k. The reality that anything over £70k pa. (getting off the bottom couple rungs of Maslow's hierarchy) doesn't make us any happier is lost on a lot of people who just aren't educated enough to realise that we can redirect that instinct into more fulfilling areas of our lives (but we'll still strive for constant advancement in those areas). Obviously this is a general statement but we're all somewhere on that spectrum.
  16. Feckin' tell me about it. Welcome back, old man!
  17. I don't think he's an improvement on Atsu/Richie but I haven't seen much of him. ETA: He's a wingback/can play along the left side.
