It kneads some thought. Oil think about it for a while.
Not that it rubs me the wrong way, but, will it have a happy ending?

He said "rub it in", not "rub one out".

"Solitary" is too short - bother.

I = One
queue = line
Steam Ship = SS
Must say, it's a word I've never heard before. Well done OG.

Archaic, but it implies "single" without "lonely", or "mad cat lady".

Dont forget to give yourself a big prize.
For some reason I couldnt get solitaire out of my head (or how it fitted)

My big prize is to set it again tomorrow!
Which will be a PITA as I have to go out in the morning. Oh well, I'll think of something.

I came up with one myself some time ago, and I'll send it to you if you want. I'm never up early enough to get these (and I probably wouldn't be able to get most of them).
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

It's OK - I keep a couple in reserve just in case - it's the timing of post and response. No biggie, just need a little temporal juggling ... Which I was going to have to do since the cat has had the all clear from the vet and can go out tomorrow for the first time in over a week. That's important, because he won't pooh indoors and must be absolutely bursting to go by now!

I was just reading about how the "ether" cryptocurrency (CC) just got hacked for $200M - and I don't even know what that means, was it taken from someone, or it was created  - and I remember BitCoin getting hacked a while back.
Now I am not sure about how "ether" is generated, but my understanding is that BitCoin is generated by running some fancy algorithm that is very computationally intensive, and that a few year ago at least, there were reports of folks setting up server farms to "mine" this - basically investing in the hardware and more importantly the electricity for the systems and the air-conditioning to create the BitCoins. I would presume that ether is similar.
I also understand that there are few firms that act as banks in which a buyer transfers real government-approved cash (REAL CASH) to the firm, and the firm gives out the code which represents the CC, and similarly would accept a code as a "deposit" and transfer REAL CASH to the seller. OK, so far so good, this sounds like trading stocks. And there are few businesses here & there that take CC as payment for REAL STUFF.
Now, it seems that the only folks who are actually buying the CC (i.e., forking over REAL CASH) are [1] victims of ransomware, [2] criminal gangs making payments to each other, [3] CC speculators, [4] folks with an anarcho-techno-syndicalist bent, and [5] assorted "the international economy will collapse" whackos.
Folks in [1] obviously are forced to so this. Folks in [2] are simply doing this to get around moving around paper cash, which has various issues; that said, I can't see guys like Tony Soprano contentedly looking at their bits. Folks in [3] think that this will take off, and they want to get in the ground floor (the guy with the server farm would fit in this category). Folks in [4] are choosing the buy CC to pay for REGULAR STUFF as a way to help get the CC idea going. Folks in [5] consider CC to be like gold (Au) and think that the REAL CASH will be devalued with their CC remaining intact, like gold - just a lot easier to port around & defend.
Now the way I look at it, if I am forking over REAL CASH to get my hands on the CC, I had better be able to use it like any highly liquid store of value - but very few vendors really accept this, so store of value is as per those CC banks that will buy that CC in return for REAL CASH. If I invest in a stock, I am buying a piece of a publicly traded corporation that I can read up on the official statements about their business situation, and with the knowledge that there is always a liquid market for selling it; sure, some stocks can blow up like Enron, but if I buy an ETF or mutual fund, or have a broad portfolio, that wouldn't be a problem.
The point is that there is something really there; heck, with gold there is even something, it can be guarded, and the only way to create new gold is dig for & refine it, an expensive task. And as for REAL CASH, it is ubiquitous an everyone except for ransomware crooks takes it, most importantly the government for debts owed to the government, which gives it the ultimate value. And the financial institutions that deal with stocks & REAL CASH have a very strong level of safety with a code of law, the government as law enforcer, etc., to ensure that it won't disappear. Where the hell is that with CC? Where are the security guards? I see this as the 21st Century tulip mania!
