Cocaine Turkeys gettin’ rowdy.

Probably quite a bit. November 2021 is around the peak for Bitcoin prices and it was relatively high for others too. Assuming it was running for a few months before, you'd probably have made a decent chunk with a dozen or so computers mining 24/7 for "free".

$18k of electricity is also just the running costs. The photo in the article shows at least a dozen computers of sorts, each of which likely required a few hundred to a few grand in computer parts to successfully mine crypto. I'd assume they still profited after purchasing/acquiring all of the computers though, since the electricity costs are usually the killer for crypto mining.

IDK what computers/devices they were using though. NiceHash says some of the top ASIC miners today could be making $29 USD per day. The top one is like a $7k device though. But assuming this guy dropped his life savings in this scam, maybe he managed to generate a few grand a month. Since $29 * 12 * 30 is like $10k, so maybe a few months of secret mining got him his investment back and he pocketed a chunk of change. And that's with the current crypto pricing slump - Bitcoin has dropped by like 3x since November 2021. So maybe this guy made upwards of $30k/month if he had the right mining hardware and the price of crypto in his favor.

Reading all of this has somehow dampened my enthusiasm for going to concerts.

Maybe pay for a dogsitter? All the options available have been shared, either pay the cost or one of you will need to take it easy.

Thanks

Agreed, we need much stronger inpatient pysch units to take people like this off the street and help them. Preferably before they try to hurt others.

Contact the DDS office nearest to you (reach out to your school system for help with this if needed). They have caseworkers who help with this transition, and also with the process of legal guardianship after 18. There are dayhab programs, residential programs or support workers who DDS can pay for to help with all of this.

I work in elementary sped now, but a few years ago discussions about aging out/next steps was a requirement at every IEP meeting after age 14.

You would really want to watch that?

Speak for yourselves, I unironically love both blogs and the year 2004

Source on this? Their board presentations say otherwise

Well deserved, internet citizen!

That’s actually how “Citgo” got its name, because workers on the sewing machines would “sit and go”.

Matlock would be so proud.

Imagine being called a hack and people thinking you don’t deserve a pension because they don’t have one

I think you're right, Sherlock.

I think that is where a jeep ran a light and a Tesla took them out. Pretty gnarly. The crash is on r/idiotsincars

OP is bitching about $100 on lyft. He probably spends more than that on weed lol

Glad as well but sad the one pushed didn't spring back up onto the platform and fix the pusher with some percussive maintenance

What else do you imagine might have happened?

He was smart to delete his post honestly. If a CBP agent opened up reddit on his phone at Logan and saw he was looking to buy weed he could have been deported.

And before you say "that won't happen" yeah you're probably right, but it can and it does.

Interesting Fact: Kenmore Square is named in honor of the original factory of Kenmore brand appliances. The Kenmore company got its start manufacturing sewing machines a building where the building that supports the Citgo sign now stands.

This is literally a thread about someone getting pushed onto tracks smh

Also suicidal and drunk people are a thing… and accidents do just happen sometimes

Use a car service to and from!

I was thinking about this the other day. I’m the furthest thing from an engineer but I’m confused as to why there are no alternatives that don’t involve making the trains stop at the same place every time. Like what about a barrier that raises up from within the platform and lowers when the train pulls in? Or like a garage door style system where it pulls down in front of you and raises when the train pulls in? Having doors that open just seems like a complicated option.
