No?

What?

How do you tax Bitcoins, anyway?

There are tax laws for barter. You're supposed to pay taxes on the monetary value of the exchanged goods, even if no cash changed hands.

I don't know, but by Job we will find a fucking way. These anarchists think they can get away with their obligation to the State and to the God, but they've got another thing coming. Once we have their Bitdoges under the centralized fiat currency system this crisis will just be a distant memory, though we should up the SSRI general dosage in problem areas for a few years to make sure this doesn't happen again.

So, I finally tracked down some malware that's been dodging me for quite some time. It was hiding in my Adblock Plus Extension.

Ohshit

Barter is kind of a weird one. I know that in NZ it's counted under GST (Goods and Services Tax) and therefore the seller owes the sum to the IRD, not the buyer. Except when you're exchanging goods and services without any currency, it's hard to determine who's the seller and who's the buyer.
I guess Bitcoins should be counted as a foreign currency and taxed in that way (if at all) but I don't know much about how that works.

In the spirit of Easter, a brace anarcho-capitalist on Reddit has asked a troubling theological question:

"Would Jesus support US taxes on Bitcoin earnings?"

shame on you for not posting the source

Urrgh...why's it so hard to find a Xbox 360 wireless receiver that's guaranteed to be legit?

It's like looking for a needle in a sea of rusty/defective needles.

My dad just told me I should set up a shrine to the Dwarven Gods in my bedroom to chase away the bad memories...
Then he made a Triforce on my door with green packing tape and told me it would help me not be scared.

(And yes, he was completely serious)
This is, without a doubt, very cool of your father.

The fact that he at least tried to give a crap about any video games you like, even though he seems to have mixed them up, speaks miles about him.

Kal, your dad is indeed pretty cool. You should probably try to hang out with him more if you can. It sounds like he at the very least wants to be onside, which is better than can be said for some people.

I don't think I've ever seen a receiver sold separately from a controller.

I got a wireless XBox controller for my computer, and the bloody receiver's wire is longer than those of normal controllers.

Also this. Even if he seems a bit eccentric.

Well the local store doesn't sell controller bundles anymore, so it's just the controller, no receiver, no charger.

At this point it's easier to just buy another controller from a trusted website that comes with a receiver.

Ya, they seemed to just stop producing the receiver alone, the only ones I could find were Chinese knock-offs. I just gave up looking and bought a wired controller, works great.

Kids were eating some raw mushrooms as they put them in a salad.

Daughter (age 8 ): "This one looks like a hat!"
Son (age 5): "This one looks like a letter T!"
Daughter: "This one looks like a face with no eyes, screaming!"

 :o WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF MUSHROOMS ARE THESE??

Yep, I can easily believe that. I mean, it's basically a rule that explanations end up being as complex as the thing they're trying to explain, no?  ;)

On a semi-related note, I can now claim to have learned more about evolution from political science courses than from biology.
