Ah so you wanted her friend to know you that well later on? ;)

Though no worries, it was a mistake and she has probably seen dicks before. Either IRL or on the internet.

That is pretty good. Feels like I am getting shafted here in Sweden, every time they have announced big aurora I'll I see is a cloudy sky...

Reply to comment by xsvfan in TIL: That in 2019, some criminals were caught and 36 BTC was confiscated. The authorities valued the worth at €127,000 at the time and was sold 2 years later for €1.5 million. The criminals were returned €1.3 million due to the fact that the amount was expressed in Swedish Krona, not BTC by Wendals87

Because it was valued for 127k. It just happened to sell for more.

This law wasn't exactly made with things that fluctuates in value as rapidly as bitcoin is.

Reply to comment by myindependentopinion in TIL that when the French first arrived in North America they met the Ojibwe Indians who introduced them to other tribes but used nasty names. The Lakota/Dakota people were called "Nadowessiwag," which became Nadouessioux in French, then Sioux in English. It means "little snake." by marmorset

At least you lucked out in the name lottery. Imagine if your tribe had been named by your mortal enemies and rivals lmao.

The modern version would probably be like being named by a CoD kid.

Reply to comment by boilerpl8 in TIL that in 2005 burglars stole $71.6 million from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil by setting up a fake landscaping company near the bank and digging a 256ft tunnel beneath two city blocks to the bank over 3 months. Neighbors noticed vanloads of soil removed daily but assumed it was business-related. by Lagavulin16_neat

To pay for the thing before they get the money? Also it would be a hell lot cleaner money than the bank money. They didn't exactly want to use that money when they went to go grocery shopping.
