You need to have a good few hours set aside. And a 6-pack. But it's interesting, to say the least. Good lord, no. One time through is/was more than enough for me. It is like a cyclical journey of the inane. newshane and thehumantorch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe I used to drink all of that swill. Pretty sure the last Steel Reserve tallboy I choked down in undergrad had dirt at the bottom.

Steel Reserve is horrible, but King Cobra is probably the worst of the worst. What I miss from the late 90s is St. Ides "special brew." Passion flavor baby!

Never had St. Ides, but I remember it from 90's hip-hop videos. When I was feeling upscale I would get some Mickey's hand grenades, or opt for a jug of toilet wine and spring for Mad Dog.

chrisco37 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Drank quite a few Mickeys in college. Used to be able to buy the extra large hand grenades for $1/ea. A few years later we graduated to St. Ides. Luckily, that was short lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also hasn't broken $9900 on the high side. So best we could do is assume a $3,300 profit per coin. To make even a 1 million dollar profit, he would have needed to time everything PERFECTLY and also bought 303 btc, which would have required more than $2 million in initial investment (2 million for the coin plus the transaction fees).

If there's any upside to Gabe's story its that he's in Canada and not driven enough and possibly not physically capable of being a real criminal, or developing a serious drug problem, which might have happened had he been in the US. He seems to have some of the same tendencies with some folks I grew up with who get involved with a lot of petty crimes and not-well-thought-out get rich quick schemes, like selling small amounts of drugs or stealing copper wire, or embezzling from work. In Canada, he seems to be doing fine with some very very light welfare fraud (at worst), which for him, might be his best possible life (although I hope there's more to it). In America, I think his path would have been much darker and less forgiving. Stay in Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no Detroit or Chicago, but I'd say there are still plenty of opportunities to make bad choices in spite of where someone lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives over in Niagara Falls so I think the drugs in Vancouver are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
