I have been bearish on BTC for a long time, but when I realized a few years ago that the fiat system we have in place is unsustainable, I see it as a safe hedge against it and the inevitable hyper inflation which will happen in our lifetime

So if you want to live in SF with kids you'll have to pay at least 3000$ per month. Is the pay scale there just completely inflated for non-tech jobs due to the tech jobs and if not, where do the policemen, teachers, cleaners and so f

Not sure what the 3310 3G runs, but if it's series 40 it has a lot of annoying bugs. One of them being that removing the headphone jack doesn't pause the music but actually continues playing the music on the stereo. I tried using
