uhhhh ... focus ? did you read the part in my message where i describe specific examples of what US$ 1 gets me in Thailand ?
if you read that, can I have some of what you are high on (as long as it doesn't involve smoke, or licking reptiles) ?

I love the spirit of this. The reality, however, has been covered by others.
There's another aspect to this: implementing such a micro-payment system is non-trivial, and managing anything to do with payments amplifies legal and security issues orders of magnitude. To be crass, it would cost us a bucket load in dev time, maintenance, and legal fees and advice, and none of the money we process would go to supporting this work. We could certainly take a percentage, but my experience with donation models is they simply aren't patronised.

Thanks, Chris, I hear and see the practical wisdom in what you say.
My use of "counter-factual" in my response to Griff might have been better phrased differently, or, with its sense, in rhetoric and law, as hypotheses meant to elicit clarification, tested, posed against, a thesis for "refutational" power, not a "concrete plan" based on certainty and facts, not as a contradictory rebuttal.
You could accuse me of bootlegging certain ideas for improving CP forums i'd have to hire a lawyer; Thai proverb: "Kin k̄hī̂h̄mā dī kẁā pị thnāy mākkẁā" ... a lot better to eat dog poo than visit a lawyer.
cheers, Bill

Fallujah - Scar Queen[^]
This must be the influence of @Member-6430 (TX6430), but this week's SOTW is some melodic death metal (again).
Heard this song when Spotify decided to shuffle some random songs because my playlist ended.
Not much to say about it, despite their name they're from San Francisco, California, and they were founded in 2007.
So just enjoy

Sigh ... the name looks indeed like a contradiction , humans can be quite inventive/chaotic with giving names to things. I think that, when a concept is repeated many times, it is associated with some quality, so it even loses its contradictory meaning ... "What's in a name ..." comes to mind. Anyway, good point ... . Probably, some people found DM too harsh and so an attempt came I guess to soften the image by adding "melodic" in front of it ... Cheers

This one's really beautiful.
It sounds familiar, but I don't think I actually know it.
Where's it from?

The anime Mahoutsukai no Yome, also known as "The Ancient Magus' Bride", which is one of the best I've ever seen.

Never heard of it, going to see if I can watch it anywhere over here!
|

|

It is, I've even had a free trial account to watch A Certain Scientific Railgun/Accelerator, which had a few seasons on Netflix, but missed the final seasons
Plenty of stuff on there that I still want to watch, maybe I'll reinstate my account.

It didn't seem to require an account to watch that one. Although I did not watch it there, so maybe it will only let me view a few episodes before cutting me off? Don't know.
With our tastes being so different, you might not like it. But I thoroughly enjoyed it.
