    I suppose that to the fans of Bitcoin, the first function is a good approximation of its future value, while to the detractors of the valuta, the second function is (negative conversion rates might be a little optimistic).

    For a long time I was in a job that at best I was neutral about, and at worst I hated. But today that changes as I got an offer for a job I genuinely care about and can make a real difference in this world (cancer advocacy)! Its going to feel good looking forward to going into work.

    "Bonified" is a cromulent misspelling of "bona fide." Bonified ~ incarnate ~ in the flesh ~ substantial ~ veritable ~ bona fide.

    I remember being able to hold my breath for a minute or two in elementary school, but I can't seem to get past 20 seconds now. What's up with that?
