Reply to comment by Admetus in TIL Tolkien assisted on the Oxford Dictionary's first edition, focused on 'W' words waggle to warlock. He "learned more in those two years than in any other"; and certain etymologies continued to puzzle him for years, with many pages of notes written later on 'walrus' for a lecture at Leeds by PianoCharged
And to make up for the fact there wasn’t much in the way of surviving Anglo myths since the saxons introduced themselves on the island.

They say of the acropolis where the Parthenon is… that’d it’d make a bloody good armory.

There was that British couple a few years ago that were doing some landscaping or other and found the entire floor plan of a Roman Villa.

If you’re on death row you’re not interacting with other inmates at all.

Pffft. No. Just no. I have no need for bitcoin, much like corn futures. It’s a commodity, not a currency. It is fundamentally useless as a currency for the exact same reason its being used as a pump and dump. In fact for it to even be used as a currency in a common way it would have to plummet in value and stay at a stable value.
Try not to lose your house when the bubble pops more.

Oh I’ve read plenty into it. Which is why i know enough to not call it a currency and why I’m staying away from the world’s biggest (and environmentally terrible) pump and dump scheme.

The entire concept of bitcoin has nothing backing it except what people think it’s worth. Does that sound at all different from fiat currency? Which, at the very least has more tied to its value than what a bunch of tech bros believe.
Also, again. It’s not even a currency. It’s a commodity.
