Bitcoin is probably the most portable money in the history of the world. I can download any amount onto a thumb drive and walk across any border without any problems. Or, I could commit to memory a line of code that I can then input into the network and save or spend Bitcoins.

One of the things about the six sixes, which really comes over me every time somebody asks a question or says to me, ‘I’ve just seen them,’ or people always ask me about it… It makes me feel that’s the only thing I’ve ever done in the history of cricket.
Merrick Garland was the most qualified nominee, not just in our lifetimes but perhaps in the history of the United States Supreme Court. The chief judge of the D.C. Circuit for 20 years, the nation’s second-highest court. Never once been overruled by the Court in his 20 years. He was extraordinary.

I think I can go on the record and say this: I am the only player in the history of the NFL that has called an NFL game that was not a broadcast bootcamp graduate. And with that being said, that also means I have no clue what the hell to do.
We live in the greatest country in the history of mankind every single day.

The history of mankind is a history of war.

Throughout the history of communications, we’ve seen that the country that sets the pace in rolling out each new generation of wireless technology gains an economic edge.
Though I do regard the Inquisition in general and the burning of Giordano Bruno in particular as blots on the history of the Roman Catholic Church, I am far from being actuated by hatred of that church, and in fact cannot imagine that European civilization would have developed or survived without it.
My education was seeing and touching the world. I would read about the history of a castle with my mother – who was a teacher, so she home-schooled me – and then she would take me to the castle, and we would climb on it, and then I’d write creatively about it that night.
