My dad (76 years old) and I were at a PGA golf tournament a few weeks ago. I asked him to take a picture of me, he was having trouble because his screen was so dim and he couldn't see it very well, he tries to save battery on his phone because its an older version iPhone, and it was super sunny out.
So, he thinks he's taking a picture...the next day, he emails me telling me that when he though he was taking the picture, he actually bought $23k of bitcoin off the Coinbase app!!!
He had no idea how he did it. I couldn't stop laughing when he told me this. He ended up transfering half back into his savings and letting the other coin roll..I would of put it all back..so risky.

Things are getting weird in this office I'm working at... I sit in a bay of 4 cubicles and a new woman started working across from me. She's young, very attractive and built. Typically I just say hello every morning and keep to myself - I do that esp. If they are attractive.
So now there is this nerdy dude that sits behind her and his job is to help her onboard and set up her system. They had small talk about wine on her first day, he's chatting her up, she's being nice and on her second day there is a 3 foot purple office Teddy Bear floating around and he put it in her desk, writes some welcome note on it and gives her a bottle of wine as a gift. Puts it between the bears legs like a phallus lol
So over the course of weeks now, he keeps putting notes on the bear for her. Stupid puns, the bear asking for hugs, wanting "honey glazed donuts" she even leaves town and he writes something to the effect of the bear missing her... Pfft. Something like that... she's been somewhat of a sport about it but last Friday I saw her eyes roll a bit. Eek it's starting.
Now 4 weeks later, this guy is not stopping, printing out messages on 8.5x11 paper and pinning to a 3 foot stuffed purple bear in the desk right next to me for this girl to react too. Literally daily. It's not my role to tell this nerdy dude about chicks but she just left for a meeting and he printed out another note about how the bear was sad because it's not in a meeting with her...
OMG this is getting good.
- when he leaves, print out your own note but make it extra creepy and rapey!_niko
- haha, I like the last line
And yes, do what _niko said, DOOO EET!Nairn - Just prints out your opinion on women and stick it on the bear :P that will do itpango

This is such a stupid question and point of confusion but I'll ask anyways.
My office just moved a few weeks ago into temporary WeWork space while a new office is built out. They have free iced green tea here all day, which I'm now drinking all day long and probably never filling up my water bottle.
So... since it's primarily water, and the recommendations per day are X liters of water... does drinking tea all day still suffice for getting that amount of water?
- Water requirements =
any liquid - any diuretic effectNairn - Water requirements are just about acknowledging thirst and always having something on hand to quench it.
Let your bladder be your guide.Nairn - webmd says "The diuretic effect does not offset hydration" https://www.webmd.co…imbecile
- Here's the thing with green tea: if — assuming you're also exercising — you're looking to burn fat, green tea is excellent for that.Continuity
- yep, definitely drinking it for that reason, healthier skin, etc.mg33
- i more meant booze or espresso or filthy-strong tea where it comes to diuretics. Point being, enjoy drinking.
'hicNairn - no warning for caffeinated beverages but they do say avoid alcoholimbecile
- i drink 2-3 liters of green tea almost every day in 500ml batches. BUT i make that tea using filters proper lemonand stuff, i can't drink these fake things :Dsted
- I'm afraid that they put shit into these composite drinks like sugar substitute... which leads straight to diabetes, also what Continuity saidsted
- I've read it's nearly impossible to overconsume green tea and that as far as we know health benefits continue to go up the more you consume.nb
- But if it has any other ingredients than pure green tea, you would want to regulate your consumption.nb
- That's great nb because I'm averaging a couple gallons of it each day. :Dmg33

Spoiler alert! Jane Bond 25!!
The new James Bond will be Jane Bond, a Brit actress Lashana Lynch be will replace the 007. She gets her role by flying to Jamaica to get James Bond out if retirement to do "one last job." He tries too #metoo her and gets his butt kicked then she takes over as 007 anew - and guarantee the series will continue for years to come...
- Well, too bad she's not trans or gay, that would have bought them enough PC goodwill for years to comedrgs

Just had a discussion with an American about the mandatory five to six weeks vacation we get in Denmark. He thought it was "ridiculous" and we could learn something from Americans who "kick a lot of ass" (meaning who have to work constantly, which is the meaning of life, obvi).
Lol. Jealousy in disguise. You'd love to 2,5X your vacation.

Signs your getting old?
I am going to one up idealist here.
Three weeks ago, I spontaneously decided to see a show. There’s a mosh pit, of course. It’s that kind of show. I figure why not hang out by the pit, seems fun, done it for 25 years now. Get pushed into the pit, god forbid. Get pushed and very u.n. gracefully try to remain by balance, bending my right foot so far, the fibula snaps.
The story continues, but I’ll leave it at this:
Countless trips to doctors, dozens of Oxis, an MRI, 6 casts and a steel implant later, here I am feeling old af, regretting my youthful spontaneity.- Best pit experience was around 1996 I took about two or three steps walking above the pit. I think it was Filter.HijoDMaite
- I've been thinking about the logistics of your experience, Hijo. Please do tell, did you launch from stage onto the pit or were you suspended above the pit?dasohr
