^ that last invalid block may have been my fault Undecided

I had ordered a new Monoprice gold plated usb cable from Amazon and the minute it arrived at my house I plugged it in between my Rockminer and raspberry pi and immediately knew something was amiss. The first evidence? The small wormhole that appeared in our living room, right next to our holstein cowhide recliner. Peering into it I could discern the snarling face of a Ferengi, likely somewhere out in the Gamma quadrant.

Then things got really hairy. Brad shouted from the kitchen that he was detecting elevated tachyon levels from our Vita-Mix, so we immediately diverted power to our forward Ronco Rotisserie array. Set it and forget it, indeed.

Still no go. The wormhole continued to grow. So I did what anyone in this rather awkward situation would. I recalibrated our George Foreman Grill (about 10 picometers), ejected the warp core from our Dyson Ball Vac, and pulled back the freq's on all the antminer s3's in the house. Bingo. No more worm hole.

I guess what I'm saying is that you can use this cable, but only if you have substantial Star Fleet training.

Sorry to agree, but you ought to know better than to buy a Monoprice gold plated usb cable from Ferengi Amazon. It sounds like you came out of it ok, but I can't help feeling that wormhole event was a cheap Ferengi party trick to divert your attention from the temporal excursion that was undoubtedly the main target of this infiltration. The elevated tachyon levels provide ample evidence of this and if you check your security cameras, you will likely find that your S3s seemed to vanish for a split second, but were really being beamed several years back into the past, where they spent a few hours mining at least a million BTC into a Ferengi wallet. It's a clever trick to earn a bit of extra latinum and if they hadn't tried to control your Vita-Mix, they might have gotten away with it, but those Ferengi just can't resist a nice marshmallow smoothie...
