This would have worked. Seriously though. Amex c-levels failed to realize the RED branding was seen as just that: a brand. While some non profits do break the mold, the perception of RED was your money would be used on $1000 dinners between celebs and brands so they could make biz deals or, more likely, discuss their huge ad spends. If i want to pay to stop AIDS, I want to pay to stop AIDS, not pay for ads to maybe get money to stop AIDS. LOL. Those who are most likely and most likely to have the means to give a meaningful amount do so in almost a hipster-like fashion: if the non profit is too big or too hip, it's not worth giving to. Honestly though you dont even need a card for this, You could just put a bunch of non-profits next to the other choices of what I can do with my points. Like I can convert it to cash or reduce my statement balance or transfer to delta or give to this 503c. Probs more relevant than ever as I currently have 500k points on my venture rewards card and nothing to do with them as i refuse to use them for <1 cent towards cash/amazon when they're 1.1-1.4 cents if used with airlines/hotels (which I currently have no use for.) But I might be tempted to use them for 1 cent if it goes to adorable-impoverished-child-or-animals-face. Well, tbh, fuck the faces. Grab top 10 reputable non-profits in diverse cats that I actually give any fucks about e.g. eff, innocence project, etc. Then give me a "share on facebook" link that uses my referral code.
Awww I love this so much! > When I failed to keep the deadline for my essay, she said "write me an apology email" - I had to look up "how to apologize" section in our binder. 😂😂😂 Sorry I'm laughing because if this is a collection of everything lil thinks and knows about apologies, he could not have anticipated what he was about to walk into.
The things I remember most from my childhood were with my dad in the garage. The garage was (is) not just a garage like you may imagine or have yourself. Essentially, you drove down a little hill into the garage. It had spots for two cars. When you get out of the car, to your left, is maybe like 700 square feet of concrete floored space with all sorts of machines and tools and bottles of lubricants and solvents and what not. You would walk thru this area, up a staircase with beat up orange patterned carpet, open the heavy door at the top, and be in the house. But the garage was (is) epic. Tool chests and little drawers with all sorts of screws and work benches. A bench saw and drill press that weighs tons was an absolute nightmare to get down the hill and in the garage years ago. An air compressor bc why not (and to blow metal shavings off the floor so they didn't get stuck in your feet.) I used to sit and do all sorts of things with him there. I would sort screws and build little houses with scrapes of plastic and metal. He had a ham radio and we would listen. He had a huge magnifying glass thing on a bench arm and that's what he would use to pull metal shavings out of our feet when we forgot to put on shoes. When I was really little he had built a pick and place machine in the garage. I don't know why, he had "the shop" which was where the business was run out of and all the employees were. But he did. These huge blue machines. And I would watch the machine pick up the piece and dip it in something and put it on the other piece in these perfect lines. For hours probably. And he would explain how it worked. It's these things that probably make me so compulsive today. I had to be like 3 or 4 when he built those. I also remember one year santa got us these robots. They were lnt really robots, but it was a plastic arm with 2 joints that you could control with a joystick and came with balls and cans and stuff and you had to try to navigate the arm perfectly. Up down left right rotate the hand adjust the wrist etc. We loved them but my dad wanted to know how it worked. But we didn't want him to break it. So he went and got himself one and took it apart. My brother and I were so curious how he got a third robot toy as we assumed it came from Santa's workshop at the North pole. My dad, being an oblivious engineer, said he went to the toystore and found it. Ohhhhh... When we got a bit older, my brother and I would sit on his knees together in front of the computer. I know it was running Windows 95 and that was new. But my dad would go to the swap meet and find these crazy CDs there with dos games. Like the trials or whatever? And we would play games like nightmare and keen and astroids for ages. I would be the spacebar, my brother the Ctrl or shift key, and my dad the arrows. Space bar in nightmare opens the doors and curtains. Ctrl shoots. Arrows move. We would play the same fucking 5 levels over and over and over and never get bored. Wed have to coordinate. Like my dad would walk up to the door and we knew there was a witch or mummy right there. So he would stand away from it and then count and I would hit the space bar as my brother started firing away. Eventually he bought the damn thing I think bc I remember each time we played a new level we'd open a door and never know if there was a bad guy behind it or not. We'd prepare and shit, only to have nothing. Or there'd be like just a wall and you'd have to shoot it down but if you did so youd let all the bunnies out. My brother would shoot like 80 times and we'd get annihilated by the swarm of bunnies or mummies or whatever. I can still hear their fucking sounds. Each enemy had a specific sound when they saw you and came to life and when they died. The bunnies did this like "poof" sound and the witches would cackle. We eventually beat the game. But we were perfectly happy to start over and do it again. So yeah. Memories.

hellloooooooo, this is how my life is now.
Man, what a fucking story.
We are around! We leave for Devcon (Prague) Saturday and I haven't started my 30 minute talk yet but let's grab dinner or something!
Enjoy! Maybe next year I'll have to join you. I think I put a visit to the UP on my todo list years and years ago.
I'm not even MEW anymore and I've been up since 6am dealing with it. Thank goodness I have a solid team around me. Could not survive without my team.
I don't think it matters. Square is probably best since it's already in a square. 😉
Send me the ai or eps or pdf or whatever and ill make them 😃
Apparently? I was on mobile and didn't think about it.
Me too. Maybe this will be my revival. I've missed it here.

Let me know what you think of the house! The bed is very comfortable, enjoy it. Please do not sleep on the air mattress!!!!!!! The desk downstairs is a standing desk - the thingy to go up and down is close to the wall. Printer is offline printer if you need to print new paper wallets. Enjoy!
thenewgreen needs to have his next song be titled "your cells are like a centerfold". 😂
kleinbl00—see my advice above. Have fun!
And I just slept for 15 hours straight. Whoa.
Waiting for numbness to set in Today we are learning how big of liars mk and steve are regarding pain levels. --- 3 hours later They aren't liars. It's not painful at all. Like actually maybe a 1 or 2 with the most pain the numbing needle. But it is something crazy happening to your body and you will react as you do in those situations. randomuser shakes. I sweat and get lightheaded. I haven't donated blood in forever because I'm so small that I am basically done the rest of the day. It's short enough tho that even with anxiety and body reacting, it's over before it becomes unbearable. I also had a really emotionally, long, long draining day yesterday, hadn't eaten anything before the procedure and, as always, am running on little sleep. I would not recommend doing it under those circumstances. Having a watered down Gatorade helped heaps tho. --- The next day Definitely sore. Sorta feels like if you slip on ice really, really hard except its not on your tailbone. But tender to the touch, sore and achy around, and some weird, unexpected pains if you move a certain way. I took 400mg advil mid day, with 250mg norco at 9am and 6pm. I am tiny + low tolerance though, my 200mg norco is likely your 500mg norco. So basically, my recommendations on how to make it not as shitty as my experience: - Do the procedure later in the day when sleeping for 15 hours won't hurt much. - If you are a naturally anxious person, take half a valium beforehand. - Let the doctor know UP FRONT that you are nervous and do not want to know the details or see the things they use. (Kevin apparently got a much more in depth description of the procedure than I did 😂) - Get a good night's rest and make sure you have eaten a good breakfast (but probably a good while before the procedure because if I had thrown up, it would have been nice to throw up essentially nothing). - Headphones + favorite music (I did this, as I always do for things like this, and it helps keep me calm). I actually posted this original photo as I was waiting for the numbing to work and texted my brother up until the first needle ("brb getting stem cells taken") - Bring a watered-down yellow gatorade (watered-down because I find gatorade to be far too sugary and strong in general, but definitely too sugary after something like this). - Drink a little bit of gatorade or suck on a sugar cube before the procedure to help get your blood sugar up. - Remember to breath and that it's literally over in like 5 minutes, but prepare to spend at least an hour in the doctor's office between explanation, preparation, numbing, the actual procedure, and giving yourself 15 minutes to cool down / calm down afterwards. - Ask the doctor for an extra gauze / tape for yourself for the next day. I'm sure most people have things at their house that would work but we're in the middle of moving so kevin got cheap-y hotel face circle + painters tape this morning
We were working on our "Buy insom and randomuser a house in LA" white paper until we had to get back to real work
if i was going to run away with everyones money i would name my coin coindash too
> I would argue that the hacker had done more to earn money than Coindash had, but I'm devoutly anti-ICO at this point. Seriously! No joke, these scammers have finally got almost the same payday that they've been working on for over a year! These ICOs are like 30 days of marketing. These scammers are like up all night, buying domains, writing copy, deving crazy tools, adjusting based on user feedback. 😂 ... ☹
